In the United States, we have plenty of off-the-wall beauty gadgets — hello, Lipstamp! — and the same goes for Japan. Some are a little kookier than others, so I've rounded up eight of the most unusual for this quiz. Can you guess what these items are? (Obviously, if you know Japanese, you'll have an advantage.) Good luck!
Question 1 of 8
What is this Japanese beauty item?

















Triumph
DKNY
Pedro Garcia
Haha, I did horrible!!!
18/8! And I chose the answers that couldn't have possibly been right! I loved this quiz!
21/8. epic fail.
3Yea! 8/8, some of those are just plain weird.
41/8
5I was actually dosappointed I got that last one right. I had a streak going! LOL
3/8 those were some weird items!
6Talk about weird...
7This is definitely gadget-love.
8wow random inventions but kinda cool
9i want to try them!
haha i have the apple container lip balm. As a lip balm, disappointing, as a novelty item- love it! XD
102 out of 8 right. The trick when answering is choosing the answer that's the strangest.
112 out of 8. I need to brush up on wacky Japanese inventions. This looks like the kind of stuff you'd see on those As Seen on TV commercials.
I figured it was lip balm on the first one too because I have a Simpsons-esque pink donut with lip balm in it.
121/8!
132/8
Knowledge of Japanese didn't give as much of an advantage as I thought.
I totally want the scalp massager though!
14i only got 1 right
152/8--suck! I wonder if the scalp stimulator works?
16Wow - 2/8.
17I only got 2/8
18wow 4/8 and 2 of them I only got because I know some Japanese....
19This stuff is so crazy does anyone buy it?
20Hey, no fair! The first product also comes in a lip balm form, so that's what I guessed. I own the orange, peach, apple and pear. I think they all have companion hand creams too.
214/8. Some of the gadgets are cool, some are weird.
221/8.. haha
234/8. The way I see it... I did pretty good. lol
243/8 weird stuff
252/8 - Hangs my head in shame. LOL
263/8 It doesn't help if you can read some Japanese but don't understand what the words mean. I got Mikan but didn't know what it was.
273/8... and I speak Japanese and lived in Japan for 2 years. How embarrassing...
284/8.... ah the Japanese and their inventions!
29I used to have a song that went "Ohayo gozaimasu, Miki-Miki-Miki-chan, Miki-chan, Miki-chan." I sang it to the beloved Mikan the cat. Sob. I miss him!
30Gotta love the Japanese! 2/8
31Now I just need to know where to purchase these lovely items.
32i got one right. lol
335/8
34Sorry about your kitty
352... haha! I'd be surprised if I actually got a higher score!
36All I can say is....wow.
If you thought this was entertaining. There's an honest-to-God book called "Useless Japanese Inventions." It's hilarious!
37Oh Japan. You so cray-zay!
38So sorry about your Kitty Bella!
