Fastest pasta cooker in the Far East

I'm kind of a carb fiend, so I love the pasta. A while back, I started buying thin spaghetti, as I found that it cooks much faster than traditional spaghetti. And yet, it still takes far too long. Seven or eight minutes? That's ages, when the hunger is gnawing at your innards.
Trust the Japanese to concoct a gadget to solve my problems. This sucker might look like some sort of crazy coffee urn, but it's a super spaghetti cooker that'll get your pasta al dente in just three minutes. I think they should call it the Faster-Than-Pasta (FTP) drive. But maybe that's just me.
Anyways, it's only available in Japan at the moment—and my complete lack of knowledge of Japanese means that I have no idea how much it costs—but I hope fervently that changes soon. Add this to a rice steamer and a bread maker, and pretty soon I'll have a gadget for making every sort of carb known to man. Muhahahahhahaha.

There's something like this advertised on TV here in the US. Consumer Reports did a thing on it a couple of months ago. Didn't like it.

3 minutes after you add boiling water? So you still need to wait for water to boil.
