Technology that allows you "hands-free" in toilets

I take my hats off the Japanese. They are always the first to come up with innovative (sometimes to the point of being weird) technologies. While I was working back in a tech firm, our boss told us we should always look to the Shibuya girls in Japan if we are looking into next generation cellphone technology, because these girls are actually the ones who will test the newest phone, functions and features.

Lo and behold! I wonder who test the technologies on toilets. A $3700 self-cleaning toilet or rather just a toilet bowl where the seat on the toilet rises automatically when a user enters the room. Then you can "do your business" in the toilet to the soothing tune of classical music. Of course, if you prefer country music or rock-pop instead, you can plug in a player at the side. Thanks to advanced sensing technologies - you have the option to go "hands-free" in toilets and upkeep a higher standard in hygiene!
