RocketNews24 reports that the automated money box speaks and plays music from “Spirited Away”. It even burps every time you make a deposit. It is officially called “Spirited Away No Face Munching Piggy Bank”. It automatically springs into action when coins are placed on the red bowl and pops them into its mouth.

The product is being developed by Benelic, the company who created the various official Studio Ghibli merchandise, being sold at Donguri Kyowakoku store chains.

This No Face piggy bank is set to retail for 5,184 yen (roughly P2,300) and will go on sale at Donguri Kyowakoku stores in Japan starting May 20. Online pre-orders are now available at their website.
