Smile — and have a drink or two

The major drinks manufacturer Kirin Beverage Co. has released a digital signage vending machine, which will not only provide customers with multilingual information, but can also take your picture. Yes — it really will take your selfie.

Kirin is taking advantage of two popular activities in Japan: the well-loved print-club sticker photo booth phenomenon and the more recent mobile-phone-selfie obsession.
