The Most Pleasurable Vending Machine In All Of Japan

I bought one in the record store “as a joke,” ha ha. I tried to use the self checkout machine but hit an error; obviously it was in Japanese. The machine made an audible ding. A friendly clerk heard the ding and came over to help. Maybe it was business as usual for her, but I was too mortified to even look at her face to see her expression.
Also in the end I couldn’t really get into it (as it were) and threw it away. The only thing satisfied that day was my curiosity.
On another note, I really love the vending machine culture there. Never saw ones like this, but did end up scouring every machine I ran across for a particular white grape drink with odd chunks of something in it that I came across outside a small shop/market surrounded by rice fields. Found other grape drinks but not that one in the city.
It was all Japanese, I only knew it was white grape because of the picture of a green grape cluster. The rest of the can was all manner of Japanese characters of random sizes and boldness with I think a green star-burst or circle and a horrible picture indicating the fruity chunky things (or thats what I tell myself it was).
