Kokuhaku Machine (告白マシーン^?, Confession Machine) is the 3rd Rhythm Toy in Rhythm Tengoku. It is unlocked with 15 Medals.

Gameplay

The machine is shaped like a giant heart with lights on the outsides. In the middle stands Love-san, where he gives confessions. Below the stage reads a glowing sign that says "LOVE". Similarly to the Neko Machine and Rap Machine, there are buttons on it arranged in the layout of the Game Boy Advance labeled with what they do.

The background is a dark blue color that makes the red heart contrast well. Pink heart outlines can be seen on the dark blue color.

Controls

Ⓑ: but (でも^?, demo)
✚: Say a phrase
- Up: why (どうしてから^?, dōshite kara)

Trivia

The music is a slower and calmer version of the Game Select music.
- A variant of this music can also be heard when reading certain letters in Rhythm Shiryo Shitsu.
The song for The☆Bon Odori was originally performed in the first draft by a "designer girl" who is also known to have voiced Space Dance and Kokuhaku Machine^[1]. Based on internal data, this may be Sachiko Ikeo^[2].
Kokuhaku Machine makes an appearance in the attract mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade), where players can play around with the buttons for a given amount of time.

↑ "最初に任天堂サイドでたたき台をつくったんですね。自前で作詞・作曲をして、歌はデザイナーの女の子に頼んで、それをつんく♂さんに聴いていただいたんです。すると、つんく♂さんから「歌ってる人、うまいねえ」とほめていただいたので、「そのまま使われるかも？」って、淡い期待をいだいたのですが、そのあと時東ぁあみさんに歌っていただくことになって…。たたき台だったとはいえ、すごく気合いを入れてつくったんですけどね（笑）。ちなかみに、デザイナーの女の子は、「スペースダンス」の「Turn Right」や「告白マシーン」の声も担当しています。" (First, Nintendo created the basis for the song. I wrote the lyrics and music myself, asked a designer girl to sing the song, and had Tsunku♂ listen to it. Then, Tsunku♂ complimented me on my song, saying, "The singer is good". I had faint hopes that they might use the song as it was, but then, after that, Ami Tokito sang it for us. Even though it was just a draft, I put a lot of energy into it (laughs). The designer girl also voices Space Dance's "Turn Right" and "Kokuhaku Machine".) ~ Masami Yone, Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu STAFF'S VOICE
