Current Events > Finally! Boyfriend speakers are here, and men are no longer needed!

(+) Yeah! (+)

According to a story over in The AV Club (via Sora News 24), the Japanese company Otome Yusha has revealed their newest promotional product: the Boyfriend Hug Speakers. This is a pair of actual working speakers, Bluetooth-compatible of course, that are shaped like big buff arms that will warmly hug you from behind. Really, who needs a human male when you can have this?

As of right now, there are only a few of these bad boys in existence, as they were created mainly as promotional items. Officially theyre called Hero of Maiden Hugging Speakers, tying in to the companys Hero of Maidens mobile game. This is an RPG targeted at women, about stunningly gorgeous men whose mission is to save the world through love. Although these were only created to promote the game, Hero of Maidens fans have opportunities to win them through various giveaways sponsored by Otome Yusha, through August 9.

For the lucky few who do get a pair of these manly speakers, the official website encourages the owner to not just use these at home should they actually get their hands on one. The promo images show a young woman taking them out with her while hanging out at a cafe. Not only when shes by herself, but also when shes seemingly out on a date! Yeah, Im sure thats not going to be an awkward date at all. Whats funny about this is that its still not remotely the strangest Japanese pop culture tie-in product weve ever seen. And something even weirder than this is no doubt being thought up right now!

No one's going to walk around in public with that hideous appliance wrapped around them. And what's up with her hands?

You enjoy those speakers. My buff and charismatic Chad friend who owns a gym will continue keeping his gf up with a sore pelvis all night.

You mean keeping your gf up.
