On the heels of the slovenly, sloth-like Tarepanda, San-X's latest lazy bones is a bear named Rilakkuma which translates to Relax Bear. Drop in on Rilakkuma and he's often lying down, eating sweets, listening to music, and generally taking his time. Masaru Saneshige, managing director at SAN-X says, "Japanese characters feature a sort of gentleness. They make people feel cozy and a little happy. That's the secret of their popularity."    True to form, Hello Kitty, Tarepanda, and Rilakkuma are devoid of sharp edges. They're completely rounded and innocuous... no bad streak at all and pure as fresh snow. Rilakkuma rolls with a two friends, a girl bear that's colored tan and a fat chick (the avian kind) who hinges on Rilakkuma's every move and encourages him to be more active.    In the PS2 game that bears its name, Rilakkuma and crew engage in mini-games which reflect Rila's inclination for eating, lounging, and exerting as little effort as possible. In one game, players wait for a spigot to be at the right place before dropping syrup on pancakes. The spigot moves to and fro and one must dollop at the right time to hit the surface of the pancake. Once splattered, the pancake is shoved onto Relakuma's plate for the bear to nosh. Once a pancake flies onto Rilakkuma's plate, the monster dips fork, spikes cake, and hefts it into mouth in one fluid motion. Other games • The fat chick throws little pats of butter onto pancakes for the Rilakkuma to eat. • Use a disembodied hand to open up Rilakkuma's zipper without waking him up. • Throw crumpled paper into a red trashcan. A floating yellow arrow serves as an aiming mechanism. A bunch of cookies are on Rila's left side and if he drops some paper into the can, his left hand shoots out to grab a cookie. If he misses, there is no nosh. • Girl-bear and chick try to grill a fish to perfection. • Girl-bear balances a dessert on top of a plate and tries to land the whole shebang on a table while chick cheers on. © NCS 2005
