This underwear is sexy, that’s plainly obvious. But once they know story behind it, you’ll be completely irresistible to nerds.
According to the product page this underwear and camisole set is modeled after “a real-life ancient personality. In this case, both sets feature garments based on respectively Atsuhime, also known as Tenshoin, and wife of one of the last Shoguns, or Tsuruhime (literally “crane princess”), a figure from the Warring States period of the sixteenth century.
Check out the Tsuruhime set after the break.
Over the last couple of months we have delivered news out of Japan regarding a series of Converse Chucks celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros. As you might expect, they have proven to be quite popular—but getting your hands on a pair in the US seemed unlikely.
However, the good news is that JBox is now taking pre-orders for the first two black and white pairs. Granted, they aren’t cheap at $130, but we are willing to bet that there are quite a few people out there willing to pay a little extra for these. Hopefully, the other two pairs will available for pre-order down the line as well.

What would you do in a toilet emergency? Go in the woods? Poop your pants? No, a far more civilized way to do your business is to put on this trash bag and squat down on the spot.

No details are available on the origins of this backpack, and for all we know it could be a photoshop. But in Japan, anything could be possible. Besides, we already have this spiky shell backpack, which is in the ballpark.

Believe it or not, neurowear is wearable cat ears that can respond to human brainwaves and project your mood to others. Check out the videos after the break to get a better idea about how the ears work.
Only in Japan can a guy walk by a cute girl in robotic cat ears and not even notice.
Converse Japan is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros with two special edition Chuck Taylor sneakers. The designs will be available come July, but it seems unlikely that the shoes will also be available here in the states.

The first of what we imagine will be many charitable, fashionable tie-ins for quake relief in Japan have started rolling out and, in this case, 100% of Adapts proceeds for the sale of the shirt pictured on the left will go to the American Red Cross while 100% of the proceeds from Hydro74′s shirt pictured on the right will go to the Salvation Army’s relief efforts.

By the looks of things, you could cram markers into your anus and produce better artwork on a shirt or tote bag than “artist” Yu Kobayashi, but if you want the real deal someone is actually selling this crap for the ridiculous price of Â¥5,250 or $63.
The only plus side is that Kobayashi has some geek cred having voiced characters in games like Ar tonelico III, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and anime like the film adaptation of Animal Crossing.
