Just another reason why I love the Japanese: this is a gloriously deranged promotional video for Bandai’s PeriPeri, which is a keychain device meant to simulate the feeling of tearing open a box of Japanese snacks (like the paper tab attached to Pocky). Does it make the manic cat noise in real life? It costs $10, needs two batteries to run and clearly, you need two.

Handshake ring- brilliant! I wonder how you keep it inked through a night of giving your phone number to cute boys, though. Check out the gorgeously designed website for the designer- Afroditi. Via inspire me, now!

It may be old news to you, but it’s new news to me: Muji, one of my (and everyone else’s) favorite retailers, makes houses! Of course they are perfectly pristine, clean-lined, gorgeous and functional without a wasted corner houses. Their blog details all finished projects (this links to an amusingly-translated Babelfish version). The houses start at about $150k- buying a little land somewhere and plopping one of these down sounds very tempting. Dwell says: “Constructing a home takes about 4 months with the option of a Japanese traditional ceremony with a Shinto priest to remove evil spirits from the land, etc.”…heh! Via Racked/ Dwell.
