Wrote a few days ago about the DIY plush companion cube someone made, and asked myself how long it would take until a official licensed one would be out for sale…

dunno…but i liked the DIY one more ^^

It was gone for quite some time (as i wrote earlier in this post about the history of the HK Vibe), followed by the rather strange kigurumi Hello Kitty keychain vibrator.
But now the Hello Kitty vibrator is back. no doubt by popular demand.

And this time it is the real deal, straight from the offical Sanrio catalog (Volume 27, Page 3).

Looks like it is just the thing for working those nasty kinks out of your neck. . .

Price: 1,260 yen (in pink or black)

Glad to see that the all that extra anti-terror training is obviously going to good use.

A Nanboku subway train in Sapporo was evacuated and inspected after a male passenger found a sewing pin on a seat Monday morning and reported it to the carrier, police said. The man noticed the 5-cm pin at around 7:40 a.m. and reported it when he got off at Sapporo Station. No one was injured.

The Sapporo City Transportation Bureau ordered the subway operator to evacuate the train, which had reached Kita-sanjuyo-jo Station, and inspect it. No other pins were found, and the train resumed operations.

No one was injured? Phew, that was close! No other pins were found? Thank goodness, this must have been a one-off pin-terror attack!
