Unplug and rewind with Thanko Skeleton Portable CD Player
Heading outdoors for a hike or reading a book at a cafe are small ways to relax without relying on a screen for entertainment. Recently, we've seen a return to old-school technology like clunky digital cameras, wired headphones and even CD players. Listening to music on CDs demands more intention. You have to choose the album, buy it and insert it into the player without the temptation of scrolling through an endless digital library. The Thanko Skeleton Portable CD Player SK-25 is a great way to disconnect while enjoying your favorite artist. With its see-through body inspired by 1990s design, it's both nostalgic and fresh. Weighing just 250 grams and powered by a rechargeable battery, it's easy to carry and lasts up to five hours on a charge. It plays standard CDs as well as CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and supports MP3 and WMA formats. You can also load music onto a microSD card (up to 128GB) for even more flexibility. Useful features like A-B repeat, adjustable playback speed, and a 5-level equalizer make it great for language study or exam prep. It includes two headphone jacks so you can listen with a friend, and has anti-skip protection and auto power-off to save battery. Get yours today for ¥5,680 at the website.

Lower your electricity bill this summer with cool spot fan
In Japan, summer and winter bring a noticeable spike in electricity bills. The sweltering heat and bitter cold can make blasting air conditioning and heating feel like necessities, but the costs can quickly add up. From July to September, humidity can make even moderate temperatures feel oppressive, so it's crucial to find ways to stay cool without breaking the bank. Simple changes like using UV block curtains or switching to linen bedding can help make summer in Japan just a little more bearable. If you want to save on your electricity bills this summer, then consider the USB Spot Ice Fan by Thanko. It's a compact cooling device that blows cold air using a frozen water bottle placed inside the fan base. It creates a chill similar to an air conditioner but without the added expense. This USB Type-C powered fan is compatible with mobile batteries, so you can take it with you wherever you go this summer. The fan has three settings and is easy to use. Since it doesn't require installation, it's ideal for renters. Available for ¥6,900 on the online Thanko store. Source: Thanko © Japan Today
