“ili is a voice translation device that translates your words instantly in a touch without connecting to the Internet. Dean, who is from the UK and doesn’t speak Japanese, uses ili to communicate with Japanese women whom he has never met before to ask for a kiss. We don’t need a common language. We can communicate with anyone in the world even if we don’t speak the same language.
