This is no normal tote bag:
Contains shock absorbers to mitigate injuries from any fallen debris.However, the questions is, will anyone carry this around and wear it? Japan does have a Hello Kitty Disaster Kit, but it is pretty darn cute.
What do you think- Brilliant Idea or Silly Gadget?

Dragonball Z & Kamen Rider Sodas Taste Review
In Japan, anime and characters are all over every possible piece of merchandise. Two of our staff members tried the Dragonball Z and Kamen Rider sodas to see if they were any different!
If you like orange soda, then the Dragonball Z flavor is it! Nothing strange or different here- Just delicious orange soda! However, Kamen Rider soda...
According to our two tasters, Kamen Rider tastes "old"(old show=old taste?) and bitter.
The actual flavor is called "ramune" which is a lemon & lime flavor, but Kamen Rider fails to achieve that. When asked if they would recommend to anyone, the answer was "Hell, no"- both agreed the cans looked awesome!
Want to try one? We will add it to your next Rinkya shipment*, just comment below, we have a couple left! Limited supply- first come, first served!
*If, of course, it is safe to do so! The can will not add any additional cost to any item shipped FedEx, however ship cost for it alone is $$ (cans of soda are heavy!), so will only ship with a current package!
