Gachapin earbuds! Yes, you could have tiny Japanese TV character heads sticking out of your ears. This item comes in both Gachapin and Mukku versions, each of which has the other character on the cable holder.

It is on — and by “it,” I mean “a Gachapin costume,” and by “on,” I mean “on Hello Kitty.” Both the Gachapin Kitty and Mukku Kitty are available as charms or straps, from Strapya. Apparently the partnership also resulted in a TV special, called “Umi no Bouken” (Sea Adventure), shown this month.

Mame-Gacha cell phone charm (also suitable for decorating handheld game systems!) This charm features Gachapin as a soybean pod, full of soybeans that are also Gachapin. Each version comes with a different variant of bean-Gachapin that appears when you squeeze the pod — an angry red Gachapin, gold and silver versions, and twin Gachapin/Mukku beans. Just $4.12 each for something that’ll make your friends wonder what the hell is on the end of your phone/game system!

Strapya is the only retailer I know of that sells Gachapin junk in the US. It’s a valuable resource.

Upcoming Gachapin and Mukku DSi “semi-hard cases” from Cyber Gadget. Like the last Gachapin cases we featured, these will be released in Japan this June. Also on the way: new styli!

If I ever make it to Japan, I’ll probably come back laden with ridiculous Gachapin DS accessories.

“We miss you” by Masao (click image for larger versions).

Masao is pretty well-known around the internet for his weird art and hypermasculine Fist of the North Star-esque Mario Bros., but I had forgotten about the prolific fan-artist until Adam posted some of his work on attractmo.de.

After looking through Masao’s website, I found that in addition to a lot of embarrassing NSFW-type stuff and the kind of bizarro art he’s known for, he has drawn a few pictures that are just awesome, like the Mother 3 image above, and this Mega Man:

Okay, well, I can’t help posting one weird one.

It’s Gachapin as Bulma in Dragon Ball, flashing Muten Roshi in exchange for his Dragon Ball as Goku, played by Gachapin’s pal Mukku, watches in shock! Love it. I have kind of a fascination with Gachapin, though.

The PSP joins the DS (full DS collection here) in being blessed with a collection of Gachapin x Mukku accessories. I’m partial to these UMD cases, but the silicone PSP covers and soft cases are great too!
