On the subway, during math class, in the middle of a date, even at Shinto shrines - hardcore schoolgirls will do it anywhere except in the shower. "It is too dangerous," says Chie Murakami, 19. "My phone could get wet." Not anymore. Bath time can be gab time with Pioneer's aptly named Happy Aqua Phone case, which was "created to meet young girls' need to not be separated from their keitai," says company spokesperson Kesanobu Yamagishi. For uninterrupted gossip while washing up, merely connect any cell phone to the portable audio speakers, seal it in the waterproof case, and hang it from the showerhead. Four AA batteries are good for up to 10 hours of chatting. If only hot water heaters had so much stamina.
