Japan’s Stress Relieving Vase
This “Shouting Vase” allows you to make as much noise as you like when you’re highly stressed. Like when your broadband fails due to your supplier’s incompetence. I needed this a couple of weeks ago.

The plastic device is basically a muffler for your yells, with internal baffles that suppress the sound you make. It’s available in Japan for around $48,

Spoonful of Fried Rice Cell Phone Strap
This cell phone strap must surely join the list of useless stuff? I guess you’d have to be a devotee of fried rice, who also savours it fed by the spoonful to get this.
Not good when you’re hungry. This will just make you more aware of your hunger and you still can’t eat it.

Custom Nintendo DS Lite’s for Foreign Ministers
This Japanese-lacquered Nintendo DS lite is just one of the items presented to the G8 ministers participating in June’s talks in Kyoto.
The other items included a scented perfume ball and manga-styled stickers for each of the participant to attach to their diplomatic tricycles.

Sounds like a good little package for the rest of us. Surely these foreign ministers don’t have the time?

Buddha Phone
With the iPhone 3G out this Friday 11th July, people will be flocking to get their Jesus phone. And you can’t have that without a Buddha phone!
Not sure how much the concept of the phone ties in with Buddhism, but the aesthetics incorporate religious symbols and Buddha himself on the back, along with a Buddhist start up screen and ringtones.

World’s Smallest One-Man Helicopter
A Japanese company called Gen Corporation has created what people are calling the world’s smallest one-man helicopter, capable of flying 50km/h and weighs (by itself) 75kg.

Hopefully, at least in my lifetime, we’ll see common use of cool, single person transport units like this. Even better if they’re rocket packs! But if the UK’s health and safety organisations have anything to do with it, probably not.

Hello Kitty Antivirus and Firewall Software
What does Hello Kitty have in common with Antivirus software?
That isn’t a conceptual question, as I don’t think there is much in common, but at least it shows that given a strong brand, you can sell anything.
Or perhaps any old crap sells in China.

Japanese Schoolgirl Watch : Downloading Sticker Booth Shots
“Piling into a photo booth for a snapshot session is a staple of schoolgirl life.

“The ubiquitous purikura (print club) kiosks are equipped with fancy lighting and snazzy image-editing technology. They beat cell phone images by a mile and, priced at 400 yen per “play,” they’re a bargain.
“The downside: Printouts on stickers look janky and are not very shareable. Two new portrait machines, Recipe of Goddess 3 and R&B (Rich and Beauty), let teens download JPEGs directly onto their handsets via infrared as the decals are printing out.”
