Have you ever wished that those mouse pads which have "eyes" on em were larger so that you can rest your head on em instead of just your wrist? Well you need wish no more thanks to Brocolli who bring us these products called "Namaiki Hanpatsu Makura" (生意気反発枕) or "saucy repulsion pillow."

As you can see from the pics below, they look just like larger versions of those mousepads sizing in 50cm X 35cm X 10cm. Fans of Nanaka Shirakawa and Koko Tsukishima (D.C. ~Da Capo~ II) can pay 10,000 yen for each pillow.
And here is a diagram of how to use the pillow.
Step1 shows that it would make an impact during presentations if you take it with you.
Step 2 shows that it will heal and regenerate you during meetings.
Step 3 shows that you can look cool while resting.
Step 4 shows how you can rest your head on the "eyes" while taking a nap.
The last step asks you not to do press ups while grabbing the "eyes".

Images from Akibaos and Brocolli.

What is with japanese and breasts? Why are they so obsessed by it lol? This is what I admire in the japanese, freedom to use your imagination at large, something we don't see in the western world thats for sure. Had this sort of conversation with a robotics teacher why does robotic in the east like Japan and Korea is much more advanced than here, well he gave me that answer, they're free to use they're imagination while here we cannot or else we cannot get the funds to do whatever we would like and that applies to these things to.

Hahah! I knew it wouldn't be long before they'd make one.  Nope, not interested in it...looks real though the way they squeezed it in the pics. XD

Excellent! Large Scale versions! 

The mouse pads are quite comfortable by the way. ^^

Fair enough. I'm happy for getting one of the mousepad, though.

IF they added in mini-speakers for them whereby squeezing it at certain angles would produce a nice moaning sound (Calculate the pressure of squeezing together with the appropriate moaning sound), I'll grab one! ^^;

Actually those can be perfect for sleeping! Instead of sleeping like the guy in step 4 with his head to the side, I'd dive head in. That way I can breath properly while sleeping in that position. I like, very much. ;)

Is it possible to buy these in America or have them shipped to America?  The website that sells them is in Japanese and I am not sure if they would ship them to the U.S.A. Thanks

I'll pass.

Japanese people and breast fetishes... anime style. They go a bit too far in terms of imagination, but if they are successful in that, why not?

I have other ways to relieve my stress, so I don't think it's made for me. XD

I rather go the realistic way than the knockoff way. It's like buying car wheels. You have to buy original wheels like Works or Desmond Evos. Or you'll be one of those guys people laugh at for not getting the real thing.

Hmmm, they look and seem nice. I'd actually like to buy one I suppose. But the thing is....the price. I mean...10,000¥ for a mouse pad/pillow? A bit too expensive imo.

Can't get enough of those D.C.II girls. Especially Shirakawa Nanaka...so moe. These pillows are expensive though 0.0 but I guess "entertainment" like this would be. No doubt they will sell out really fast.

I'm a big fan of Da Capo II, but still, I could never buy something like that. A regular dakimakura is good enough for me.

I love it when Japanese people tend to be more childish..i find it cute and they are so creative with these things..They can also freely express their ideas even though it may sound weird for others, it's like they are open for ideas. That's what made them innovative right?
