Rare/strange stuff being auctioned in Japan

Hi all,
check out these two:
http://www.easyauctionjapan.com/productdetail.php?productId=h14..
http://www.easyauctionjapan.com/productdetail.php?productId=d13..
Especially for the first one I could not find any info. Anyone? Maybe something interesting?
By the way, note the apparently islamic online translator. Royal view silky o Muhammad. :-)
For hardcore collectors, I found this one here:

I wouldn't call the second one from Abacus rare, just not spread online yet. Abacus sold quite a few applications like that in the early years.

True, I found at least several mentions onliine of the Abacus thing. But the other one - what the heck is an "aural-visual drill" in the first place?!

Well, ECS existed independently until 2006 when another company bought it out. Looks like they closed ECS down around 2010?

Here is the ECS website in early 2006 ->

ECS 2005 product catalog ->

and on page two they have "Aural Skills Trainer", which is used to "Improve your ability to perceive & identify intervals, basic chords, & seventh chords".

Uh, that sounds like a task for a detective - anyone up to it? It sounds pretty thrilling and interesting to me. :-)
