products sold in japan

that all said michael bring on the first
product the stress reduction voice
training exer by needs labo
so here we go i am super excited to try
this bad boy this is a stress relieving
voice exerciser definitely a japanese
product i don't even know if they make
this in any other country but
it just makes sense to have it in japan
because people love to sing they love to
yell i don't know they love to heal
but it's nice to be able to do that in
the home and
not bother other people i feel like it's
been around
we saw it in the store and definitely
had to pick it up and show you guys i
mean just looking at the box itself like
right here
it says that it's supposed to reduce the
sound by 82
and one song is supposed to burn 7.59
calories
i would have to sing for like 10 hours
in order to like burn one ice cream it's
funny how they sell this as like kind of
like an exercise
thing like hey guys let's stop playing
basketball
and let's sing and then just right here
around the stem it says your health and
beauty are supported by voice exercise
so the way it works is that you get this
little guy you're supposed to speak
into here catches your voice this right
here is kind of like a
rubbery material and then it comes with
this here and this attaches
to right here i believe so basically the
idea is if you're gonna sing
you yell into this and then you put this
as an earpiece look at this it says
stress reduction voice
the initial product name is
i think it's a short exercise first of
all let's just test this out
this is my voice this is my voice
this is me talking this is me talking
is it quieter yeah can you scream yeah
like that thing oh you don't use it
can you make me some fried chicken yeah
i can't hear you but it's not that loud
okay let's see if i put this little
earpiece on i guess you can hear
yourself
better with like this earpiece can you
see something like easy
or eminem i can't even say normally
okay let's try to sing then twinkle
twinkle
little star
wonder what you are
it's just working pretty well the
stainless steel cutter butter case by
skater
this next one caught our eye i think
it's been around for a little bit
and i think it's been reproduced all
over the world but i think
maybe it was originally from japan so
look at this this is the
butter cutter case it is made from a
brand called
skater gator.co.jp that's kind of a cool
name that they got
well it's a cool name but it just isn't
a line
maybe with a buttercutter case bottom
here it does say nihonsei meaning made
in japan what's interesting too the
packaging it's almost kind of like
ripped off from the butter case now this
butter that you got
is unsalted and from hokkaido
oh but this one in fact is what michael
really wanted for herself i think she
saw it on instagram and she's like oh we
have to have it
comes with this like nifty plastic top
even a
butter knife and it comes with the case
and the bottom tray so we're going to
try this
live i feel like we should be streaming
this one because i feel like i'm going
to mess this up so the idea
is to take the butter case it's really
blown out i guess i can be super dark no
worries
this is paulo's true color this is how
dark i really am
let me open this up and put it on the
tray butter is not refrigerated
it's kind of like room temperature let
me get you a wipe because i'm gonna use
a whole thing
you don't trust my hands are clean nope
what do you think i do all day
you don't know maybe this butter is
dirty butter getting on top
ready and butter has been placed
on the tray like so oh look at that
butter
okay ready and go
and there you go wow it worked it really
worked
amazing sliced butter okay so
um i really really wanted this
it's not just a cutter but it's like a
storage for butter so you could just
like
put it in the fridge yeah and i want
this because
my butter yeah i always use it like this
just like peel it
and then it's so messy i'm so happy i
was looking for it
okay so i will put this in the fridge oh
my god this says
they forgot the space the breath upper
bipro idea so
this next one is appa it's
breath like breath right anyway so this
one
it looks like a health product it's kind
of hard to tell like the biggest thing
on this package is this female i feel
like they're selling her
top or and then just like tiny little
thing right here that they're selling
but then
this girl is in front and then you have
like this fire on her stomach
it's like are you trying to warm her
stomach anyways just taking this thing
you put it all together you get this guy
it looks like
a fun little pipe i guess you're
supposed to blow it and
you get like a workout how many times do
you think i can do this
do you even know how to use it if it's
exercise you have to keep it between two
and
three oh and then if it's voice training
voice training you're saying boyce are
you training boys i started with
japanese
english voice training yeah you have to
go
like up and down three times all right
so first of all let's try to see if i
can between two and three okay ready
[Music]
it didn't even go up oh wow
it takes a lot of oxygen to that breath
nope that's hard do you have to take
like a
really deep breath can i drive look at
that okay you can try
i'm better than you okay one last try i
think
the goal is to go hard initially so you
get it
up and then you yeah yeah yeah yeah it's
harder to like get it
up slowly
it is
hold on we're going for a world record
right now
there we go
[Applause]
smile kids so this next guy
is supposed to make life a whole lot
easier because it always has your back
that's bad i'm a dad what can i say
even dads don't even know if you guys
like that joke
let me know okay so this one is supposed
to help you put on
the back pads what do you call them i
don't know i forgot what it's called in
english
medicated pads press maybe yeah i think
there's like another
basically if you ever need to like stick
one of these pads on your back
and you just like can't reach all the
way down then basically this guy is
supposed to help you out
so what you do is you take the pad
that's half this is already peeled
halfway
and what you do is you place the ship
we're just going to call it
because i can't remember the name and
then it has kind of like a velcro
layer and what you do is you just snap
it on
like that and it holds in place and
because of the velcro it doesn't stick
to it and then what you can do is now
you have
the pad here you can also take this
piece off so
just rip it off now you have the sticky
side on both and then you take your
shirt off so let's just say i need to
put it on
right here
[Music]
there you go now if i were just to use
my hand
and do it myself it'd be like
it'd be like that so i think it is
helpful if you really wanted to you can
go like
super deep how many times will you use
this i don't know but
it is useful you can reach your whole
entire back let me see okay pretend like
no
just put it on okay i want you to put it
here you don't have to take out your
shirt
don't do that kind of service do you
want center side
right here oh
damn did i get it
yeah well you got it oh so i guess if
you're flexible then you're good
perfect look oh wow good job
not the worst product not the best
product but it works
so this next one takes tupperware to the
whole new level
it looks like your regular tupperware
plastic and all
but if you look at the lid it has a
special little device it comes with its
own
tongs so if you ever have you know some
stuff and looking for a fork or some
chopsticks to get your stuff out and you
don't need it you can just use this
just imagine michael you're in this
situation
you just came back from a long workout
say perhaps you were using
dressed up and you go to the fridge and
like i am so hungry
and you notice that
i have some okra
[Music]
and you're like oh man i want to eat it
right away but i need a fork
and it's like boom i can go straight
into it and i don't even have to get my
hands dirty
let's see how it picks up and bam
three pieces all at once that's how i
like to do it look how easy that is and
it's
pretty like grippy and you just like
look at that
is it easy to craft yeah it's so easy
and i think what's pretty nice too is
that these things come off and if you
need to wash it or anything like that
boom easy peasy and then once you're
done eating all you have to do is just
put it away and you're done i don't know
personally i think this one
is super useful the 10 nojita cabbage
peeler baikai
so this next guy is something that
michael really thought was interesting
no i didn't say that
who chose this one i thought so this one
i really thought was
really the thing is there's so many
different kind of like slicers and
dicers
at the store we had to like narrow it
down and i thought one was cool michael
thought this one was cooler
this is uh
you can see there's a cabbage in the
back but oh
look at that thanks micah over the
cabbage and basically
you have this tool it almost looks like
a sort of like a breastplate be careful
it's a blade
oh is it you have scissors
why did you give me this it's the
sharpest thing i could find
i thought you could poke it i use my
teeth
okay here we go
we have lettuce going everywhere oh i
think i just got some
[Music]
so okay there you go it was just it went
all over the place
that's what you get you get some
shredded lettuce would you use it
i feel like if you cut the lid not
lettuce the cabbage
maybe half or so oh yeah keep on saying
lettuce but it's probably cabbage oh
it clearly says
oh really but we should have used a
harder cabbage fair warning so
there you go if you want something just
a little bit easier use a harder cabbage
the salad horoshi by nonoji let's move
on
to the next one this one is gonna be
hopefully a little
less messier it should be because it has
its own lid so this is another shredder
that we
had a look at this thing works for like
carrots and
cucumbers ah cucumbers yeah
yeah so all of those oh yeah you can
switch the sides so it's you can choose
whether or not you want a smaller
or a larger hole and you can just switch
just like this but let's try this out
we've got a carrot today i'm going to
shut the lid right there
just like so
oh maybe i need to do like smooth
motions
i don't know i'm going to try to smile
while i do it i have like a stressed out
face
i was wondering why you're smiling
because i wanted to like you know
be happy
yeah so if i had it facing this way i
think we're good but look at that
oh nice look it's all encased in this
plastic yeah you just made a camera to
the salad bar you can't work
at the buffet yes i don't use any other
tools aside from this
but it's super useful right you can make
we can make a coleslaw and then we have
cabbage the ceramic toast dimmer by
marna
okay mico world this next one is a
steamy one
the bread steamer so the concept behind
this bad boy
is you soak it in some water for about
20 seconds and then you put it between
your bread while you're toasting it and
it's supposed to give you kind of like
that nice
toasty moist bread you know sometimes
you get the bread and it's just like
super super dry it's a little bit
different if you have that little like
nice
kind of moisture and crunchiness at the
same time oh it's getting hot in here or
should i dare to say
steamy it's says back here 91.5 percent
supposed to like increase the moisture
level basically when you toast the bread
a lot of the moisture leaves the bread
and so it weighs
less yeah so this one i guess you kind
of infuse
some moisture inside of the bread while
you're cooking at the same time okay so
you have this
ceramic bread looking loaf and it is
hollow in the bottom and what you do
is you soak it in some water and luckily
we have some water let me just drop it
in
oh it is submerged i'll hold this for 20
seconds
we will fast forward now
okay there you go and this is also a
workout for me and when you
are ready to go you take it out and cook
it up
so here we go after a few minutes of
youtube
magic here are the pieces of bread can
you guys
tell which one has been toasted with a
ceramic
so this one here on the left is the one
without the ceramic steamer and this one
is one with a ceramic
steamer and you can see that this one
got toasted a little bit less this one a
little bit more and i think that's just
because
the toaster was already hot right it
wasn't like it made it any hotter
but in terms of weight
i can't really tell the difference okay
i don't think we can tell the taste test
yeah can you like rip the crust off for
me so i just like get like the
middle piece basically it should taste
better right
you gotta tell me it's just like
starting my mouth
first test
okay this is the second one yeah
[Music]
hmm the second one that you gave me is a
lot more doughier it has a little bit
more moisture so i think it's the second
one
really that's the first one
[Music]
yeah i thought because it's like more
doughy i was the one that
was steamed but if you just go by the
taste
then yeah the one that uses ceramic
toaster is like tastes a lot better
so in fact it did work there you go buy
the ceramic toaster
