Leave it to Japan to come up with a USB powered cigarette that doesn’t actually contain tobacco. Supposedly it produces some sort of smoke, but most likely the aromatherapeutic kind that any Mesothelioma lawyer worth his salt would despise. The product page is completely useless as well:

How is the Ministry of aerosol charging is complete in itself and very easy to set the cartridge.The only draw suction from the mouth, the pump mechanism of the weak solution mist through the mouth and draw air sensors automatically. Nicotine, tar will not be detrimental to health that are not recommended to go to when I quit smoking.

Oh yeah, thanks for clearing that up for me! Sheesh. I think I’ll pass on your new-age electronic smoking device, thank-you-very-much.

I’m sure this isn’t exactly new- I’m pretty sure I’ve bought products that were packed in something like this crazy gel/foam that expands and conforms to the shape of the product/box/anything. It’s still cool to see it in action, even if I don’t understand a word they say in this video. They could be advising the audience about the best diet pill for all I know. I wonder why this guy wears a protective apron, yet leaves his wristwatch exposed? The things that cross my mind…

If you enjoy looking like some sort of flower, the kind you might see during a mild hallucination or a Dr. Seuss cartoon, then I have just the thing for you. Alright, so I don’t actually have the item in my possession, but I’m sure that a few mouseclicks from this post would lead to an actual product page, though it might be in Japanese.

What this product does, besides make you look silly, is it keeps your hair out of your noodles. Why they only market this at noodle eaters is beyond me- maybe they have a grudge.

I’d like to throw in the highly cliched ‘only in japan’ statement, but I’ll spare you by beating around the bush and saying that while they eat tons of pasta, this obviously didn’t come out of Italy.

Everyone knows that Japanese technology is light years ahead of everyone else. I swear, those guys are living in the future. Right now, they’re working on an astronaut toilet that is worn at all times. It takes care of waste removal and cleanup.

Quote from CraziestGadgets:

When the astronaut has to go, sensors automatically turn on a rear-mounted suction hose to remove the waste. Then an automatic washer and dryer cleans you up.

Rear-mounted suction hose? Sounds sexy! Now let’s start working on a version for old folks homes and hospitals. After Japan finishes designing theirs- in five years.

Guess I’ll have to work on mastering time travel if I want to see this invention any time soon. I’ve almost got it worked out- right now I can travel into the future at the rate of one second per second without even trying.

Okay, so they’ve dubbed it a “winter” light show. Whatever you want to call it, it’s hard to complain about a display featuring 4.5 million LED lights. The theme is flowers, with 64 billion colors that change so quickly that it is reminiscent of a flowing river. What I want to know: how do they get 64 million colors from 4.5 million lights, and who’s counting?
