Made in Japan

Stress is a trying thing to overcome.  All day long most people have a boss that tells them what to do and when to do it.  Then at home you have a house to maintain and kids to keep in line.  With bills stacking up you could use a little something to make things a little easier on you.  Now you can have a brightly colored pile of poop to help you out.  Thank goodness for Japanese craftsmanship.  You can purchase one of these for 420 yen or about $5.

This is definitely one of the weirder toys that we have come across – after all, the Bitsosan Ke toys boast carbon fiber hairs that stick out from both a rather bald head as well as their noses, and touching it will see it start talking. Basically, they mention (in Japanese, of course) something about their body hair, either encouraging or discouraging you from fondling them that way. With half a dozen characters to choose from, you will need around $60 to collect them all.

Now how zany can it get – here’s an Age Prediction Machine from our crazy Japanese friends, where it is able to tell your age range through a guesstimate using one really weird method – it will test your hearing by emitting a high frequency sound, similar to that of a buzzing mosquito. Depending on the sound’s intensity, it will affect the ability of the person to hear it due to one’s age. Dubbed the Age Prediction Machine Toshibareru Mosukitosaundo (Mosquito), it supposedly was meant for blind dates so that you know the person sitting opposite you isn’t lying about his/her age.

Blind dates can be a terrifying thing.  Thankfully, the Japanese have created a gadget to help you discover if your date is lying about their age.  This gadget emits a sound like the buzzing of a mosquito.  You start at the lowest setting and keep moving up.  The harder it is for them to hear it the higher their age.  That or they’re just naturally half deaf, one of the two.  Thank goodness for helpful Japanese gadgets such as this.

It is still bitterly cold in many places around the world in the Northern Hemisphere, and Thanko has something just for the lady in your life to keep her fingers warm and toasty in a much more hygienic manner compared to tucking them under your armpits. We’re talking about the Thanko USB Warm Gloves for Girls which retails for approximately $28, where the heat generators within are USB-powered alongside a removable hood cover for your fingers. Just don’t stretch beyond the 165cm USB cable and you should be running just fine.

Now that I have an alarm clock that sounds extremely similar to a smoke alarm, it’s entirely possible that I’ll just try to smack my alarm clock if the smoke alarm went off and fall back to sleep.  However, I would still choose my blaringly loud high pitched smoke alarm over a Wasabi spraying smoke detector.  This smoke detector spurts out just enough Wasabi to wake you up but not enough to blind you (which is nice of them).  Apparently it only takes 2.5 minutes to wake you according to the creators.  If you are a big fan of this method, you can purchase one for $560.  Although it will be difficult since it comes from a Japanese company.

If you live in a place near nature that has plenty of lush vegetation around (or waterways), then chances are a heavy torrent of rain will more often than not result in some frogs croaking happily away after that. It can be quite soothing with their rhythmic, almost poetic, croaking, while some others could find it to be nothing more than another irritating noise. If you fall under the latter category, then the Singing Kero Alarm Clock would be a great addition to your bedrooom as it would definitely do its bit in waking you up. Forking out $53 for it, however, is another matter that you might want to reconsider. This frog duet not only sings, but dances merrily as well (happy to see you get up of bed we presume). Features include a digital calendar with day and date display on a big, clear, backlit LCD.

Anyone who has a remote idea about Japan will definitely have heard about their famous ramen noodles, but today we will look at something different albeit related to ramen – that is, the Soap Ramen and Sponge Cup Noodles Ramen. Yes sir, neither will be edible this time, but with the former you can keep yourself clean while the latter allows you to, well, do whatever you normally do with sponges. Just make sure yo don’t mix the two up during use or you might end up with a different tool than expected. Alternatively, this could be a cheeky prank to play on someone else’s larder.

I don’t know about women, but the Pee Without Noise Stool seems to be aimed squarely at men. The name of the device itself is pretty self-explanatory, as it supposedly enables you to relieve yourself without making nary a noise just in case a non-existent rival to the Niagara Falls actually wake the rest of the household up. How does it work? All you need to do is kneel on its soft cushions and you’re good to go, letting out your golden shower with a whole lot less velocity, resulting in a lowered volume level and definitely less chances of experiencing “splash damage”, if you will. Would you fork out $78 for something like this?
