I got pillows from Overstock a few years ago that proclaimed to be "firm". Those damn pillows are so frickin flimsy, it's shameful 😂. The Beauty Rest ones I got from Walmart are much better. I still have the Overstock ones, but they serve as auxillary pillows to surround myself with. I rarely actually put my head on them and usually, I sleep sideways with my head on my arm.
The last item is definitely not a pillow. Haha It’s for dealing with neck pain. A chiropractic device. Supposed to use it for like ten minutes a day or something, would probably kill you in your sleep!
That second "pillow" is like the torture device version of the pillows geisha lay their heads on to avoid ruining their hair...and those pillows already look painful.
I think they would be called "unsuccessful mutations" in darwinism" although that applies more literally about the ability to pass on one's genes to the next generation.
I was really shocked when I learned those fancy looking Edo period neck "pillows" were actually rectangular blocks of wood wrapped in cloth. Talk about super uncomfortable! And like Aki's weird "pillow", you're supposed to only sleep on your back and never turn during sleep.
That “pillow” would be perfect if I wanted to take a room temperature challenge. I usually turn around in my sleep and that trap would surely make me snap my own neck while sleeping.
The digital pet is called a bitzee and atleast in canada its about 30$ with tax so a little under the Japanese price. Dunno if the japanese version is more responsive or has exclusive pet variants, but you can get them in the americas if anyone is wondering
That pet item is not expensive!!!! It's basically a modern version of a tamagochi, which were around the same price (include inflation). Thats an awesome toy.
That virtual pet is cute. There's a western version of it called Bitzee I just found out which is exactly the same (but with non Japanese instructions). I have to try it out.
A regular couple fighting be like go sleep on the couch with a real pillow Joy and Aki be like go sleep on the couch with your head in a torture device
Meanwhile every orthopedic doctor is screaming internally at this "pillow". That would ef up your cervical spine. Also sleeping with your head covered thightly in cat house is asking for suffocation.
the pixel virtual pet is now also available in the west xD and.... yeah it's kinda interesiting also it's enough if you LIGHTLY touch the "flip flop LED thing" and not pres it down.
... I now question what a "pillow" is.... Because that last one, how is it a pillow? Also as someone who constantly wakes up with a sore/stiff neck, pillows are important. As well as if they're actually comfy or affordable (pillow cant help me if i can't afford it lol).... But the tamagotchi nostalgia is real, for something so (relatively, i mean especially for a toy-ish thing)old, it's pretty solid
Give the cat house to Joey to then give to Chris from Abroad in Japan. Now that he and Sharla are engaged, perhaps they may want the cat house for Tuna and Maro 😊
Now you just need a pair of handcuffs so that it could go along with the torture hammock. Imagine the pure agony of wanting to sleep on your side but you can't do anything with your handcuffed and your head levitating while the torturer plays a video of integerration questions on loop.... Why did I think of this?... Just Why Japan?...
your voice still ringing in my head for a few years "AND NOW FIGHTING GOAT MAN MAYBE HE'S WEAK TO THUBDER SWORD NO HE'S NOT" 😂😂😂😂 anyway dont be to harsh to urself
i remember using that neck pillow, albeit it was used to fix my broken neck with a series of weights // pullies, and looks like a medieval torture device.
well, sleeping in the cat's house reminds me about DEKIRU NEKO WA KYOU MO YUUUTSU anime. a giant cat used the regular cat's house this way. it's anime ongoing. so maybe it was the source of inspiration )
Have you seen pillows from Ancient China? They're literally elevated porcelain saddle, and all of a sudden they're looking attractive by comparison. I want the pet house to make one of those eye ball guys from Mirrai nikki.
You could give the cat house to Chris as a house warming gift if you have no idea what to do with it. That way it gets used for actual cats or if he can get his head in, it might dampen his snoring for Sharlia. Lol😅 (don't know if I spelled her name right. Autocheck keeps trying to change it stangely.)
Ok, completely off topic but I respect you with all my heart, and you have my full respect 🫡. You always just state straight up FACTS and I love that you do so.
That neck pillow head harness just makes me think someone tried phoning something in for a sharktank/grant board.. and forgot that they needed a working demo for the 'show and tell' section of the grant process until about 2 hours before the interview.. then the person in charge of giving the grant must've been drunk or High on the day so.. Rubber stamp it approved.. Next! What's this?.. Bedazzling for modern aged car steering wheels?.. Brilliant! We'll make MILLIONS!
I cannot decide if that neck hammock looks more like a strange medical device or BDSM related, or even weirdly both. Lol! The virtual pet looked fun and I think that around $30 is actually a reasonable price for what it is, at least in this day in age!
Yeah but can we bring up the fact that pillows are pretty comfy until you have to sleep
ONG 😭i just got home and i was soooo tired. but i couldn’t sleep
I don't even use pillows anymore except during the day to lean against.
@@kalielikis that more comfortable? I need to know lol
Further evidence that we are truly a cursed species.

This is the perfect example of "anything can be a bad pillow, if you really want"
“Just ‘cuz you’re different doesn’t mean you’re useful” - Akidearest 2023
I love how Jose - out of nowhere - became an integral part of Aki’s shenanigans
I thought this said internal part of aki's organs
The last item is definitely not a pillow. Haha It’s for dealing with neck pain. A chiropractic device. Supposed to use it for like ten minutes a day or something, would probably kill you in your sleep!
That second "pillow" is like the torture device version of the pillows geisha lay their heads on to avoid ruining their hair...and those pillows already look painful.
I was going to say, the "pillows" that geisha traditionally use would probably be more comfortable than this thing.
If you move around a lot like me, you'd probably wake up with a pole through your neck
at the very least it'd wind up wrapped across my chest and stuck in my armpit
Bruhge 😂
I'm gonna make a shirt that says “Just ‘cuz you’re different doesn’t mean you’re useful”

Is it just me or does Aki’s carpet floor look so comfy to take a nap on?
That “pillow” would be perfect if I wanted to take a room temperature challenge. I usually turn around in my sleep and that trap would surely make me snap my own neck while sleeping.
So my friend walked in when i was at the "neck pillow" part and he asked "WHAT KIND OF BONDAGE ARE YOU INTO?!"😂
Thank you for the laughs.

I have a neck hammock and it literally saves me! I finally feel relief from neck compression and because of that suddenly feel relaxed and sleepy lol
Putting one's head into a cat house sounds straight out of the manga "The Masterful Cat is Depressed again".
That pet item is not expensive!!!! It's basically a modern version of a tamagochi, which were around the same price (include inflation). Thats an awesome toy.
30$ for a torture hammock??? Would’ve just bought an actual hammock 😂
Don't they sell for like 15-20?
@@Ventanty most do, yeah. 😭😭
gotta love suffocating yourself with a cat house. CO2 levels must be insane. no wonder twitter user sleeps so well when he passed out from poisoning
6:04 That is straight up a torture device
That virtual pet is cute. There's a western version of it called Bitzee I just found out which is exactly the same (but with non Japanese instructions). I have to try it out.
Thank you Aki for listening😭💖 we love youuuuuuu💖✨
A regular couple fighting be like go sleep on the couch with a real pillow Joy and Aki be like go sleep on the couch with your head in a torture device
the "head hammock" thing reminds me of the Y-straps used by chiropractors.
Meanwhile every orthopedic doctor is screaming internally at this "pillow". That would ef up your cervical spine. Also sleeping with your head covered thightly in cat house is asking for suffocation.
Aki I love you! 😂 This is honestly perfect, thanks for reviewing these items! ❤
the pixel virtual pet is now also available in the west xD and.... yeah it's kinda interesiting
also it's enough if you LIGHTLY touch the "flip flop LED thing" and not pres it down.
do a series on random japanese games! i think it would fit in well with this series!
for anyone curious, they do sell the toys in other countries its called a blitzee
omg i have missed these WHY JAPAN videos thank you aki for this new video :D
Keep up the awesome work and videos Aki

That pillow reminds me of the neck elevation "pillow" that geisha use to keep their hair nice.
Give the cat house to Joey to then give to Chris from Abroad in Japan. Now that he and Sharla are engaged, perhaps they may want the cat house for Tuna and Maro 😊
Maybe for Tuna, that cat house seems so small!
@@tardisdance1236 True. And I think even Tuna is still growing, so perhaps it might not work for either cat 😅
My favorite akidearest series! Thank you.
firstly this "pillow" only works if you are a back sleeper and, like aki pointed out, don't mind having your head covered.
I love your videos i could watch them all day
You could use that for something else like elevating a sprained ankle for example ☺️😉
2nd item - Simply why? Claustrophobic.
3rd item - Not.
That 'pillow' looks like a modernized medieval torture device.
looking good aki! thanks for the video
Now you just need a pair of handcuffs so that it could go along with the torture hammock.

Aki trying to roll over in the neck pillow 😂 please
funniest part of the video🤣
your voice still ringing in my head for a few years "AND NOW FIGHTING GOAT MAN MAYBE HE'S WEAK TO THUBDER SWORD NO HE'S NOT" 😂😂😂😂 anyway dont be to harsh to urself
That cat house “pillow” made ya look like a liminal space monster.
Wasn't there a spooky video that was taken down last week? Whatever happened to that one?
Ikr? I didn’t get a chance to watch it but I saw the moment it got taken down and I’m just wondering why
Please do more of these!!! they are great..
i remember using that neck pillow, albeit it was used to fix my broken neck with a series of weights // pullies, and looks like a medieval torture device.
Aki I love your rebirth of mothra poster in the background. Also that neck pillow just looks painful.
"Just cos you're different doesn't mean you're useful" sounds like my mom 🥲
well, sleeping in the cat's house reminds me about DEKIRU NEKO WA KYOU MO YUUUTSU anime. a giant cat used the regular cat's house this way. it's anime ongoing. so maybe it was the source of inspiration )

I want the pet house to make one of those eye ball guys from Mirrai nikki.
i was literally thinking the same thing LOL like the cat house looked like a giant eye..
all fun and games till theres multiple-
You could give the cat house to Chris as a house warming gift if you have no idea what to do with it. That way it gets used for actual cats or if he can get his head in, it might dampen his snoring for Sharlia. Lol😅 (don't know if I spelled her name right. Autocheck keeps trying to change it stangely.)
The headrest thingy looks like something a very shady doctor told you to use when a real doctor told you to use a neckbrace
The worst pillow in Japan is one full of plastic triangles I had to try in the 90s.
Did anyone notice the bandage in Aki's eyebrow?
This so-called "pillow" is just a design for a noose. 😂
I mean... executed correctly. I can totally see a head hammock being really comfortable.
maybe as a pillow for a plane?
All I could think of throughout this video was that Demon Slayer light display lol
Bruh that last one looks painful.
I’ve missed this series.
That "pillow" is not for side sleepers.
Ok, completely off topic but I respect you with all my heart, and you have my full respect 🫡. You always just state straight up FACTS and I love that you do so.
The last one is still a nope! For sure *ouch
No one:
Aki: 3/10 the dog can’t starve to death
That 'neck pillow ' is reminding me of the cat harness they had in the Cheesing episode of South Park (≧▽≦)(≧▽≦)(≧▽≦)
Why do they alway be creating so many creative bizarre stuff-
*inserts picture of the stone carved pillow*
Honestly I feel like the cat bed and neck pillow didnt work because it is made with smaller japanese people head in mind LOL
I'm sure there is a camera setting you can change for the virtual pet thing so that the screen doesn't flicker like that
In a couple days, she'll be throwing her pillow away.
not sure I would classify that as a pillow
Amazing fun hilarious video akidearest,fantastic job.
My favorite series!
The face mask thing makes her look like Rick Moranis from "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" 😂
Hmm what happened to the latest episode about visiting a pond?
Aki you so silly!!! I love it.
Joey is right, you looks scary with a sort of head without a face. It's perfect for a horror movie.
That neck pillow head harness just makes me think someone tried phoning something in for a sharktank/grant board.. and forgot that they needed a working demo for the 'show and tell' section of the grant process until about 2 hours before the interview.. then the person in charge of giving the grant must've been drunk or High on the day so.. Rubber stamp it approved.. Next! What's this?.. Bedazzling for modern aged car steering wheels?.. Brilliant! We'll make MILLIONS!
Looks like a torture device
Yeah the last one looked like a torture device for sure 😂😅
That last thing...what if you're a side sleeper? You turn over and break your neck! 😂
now put the whole tripod head-hammock into the cathouse
That contraption may also be used for neck decompression ☺️
“It’s revolutions for giving you scoliosis”…. HAH I already have it… have I cheated the system?! 😂😂
I'm pretty sure Japan is just doing it for the memes at this point
the cat house pillow looks like your getting tortured/kidnapped
RIP Aki's sleep
Tamagotchis 20 years later
The way her head is just straight up when her body is sideways 😂😭
My neck would dislocate with that hanging head pillow
I love Lapras disapproving face. 9:23
The toy is called a bit zee in the UK
I cannot decide if that neck hammock looks more like a strange medical device or BDSM related, or even weirdly both. Lol! The virtual pet looked fun and I think that around $30 is actually a reasonable price for what it is, at least in this day in age!
That pillow is how Garradors are made.
6:51 this device is 100% going to kill someone in their sleep lmao
When she said scoliosis , i bet some of yall fixed your sitting posture
am i delulu or did you remove a like scary video a couple days ago
Ah yes, the design is VERY human
Those Nintendo DS games where you take care of pets seem funder than that
wait is that a pillow made there ?
