?Meet Hinako. She’s the star of a DVD where she sleeps, titled — wait for it — Sleeping with Hinako. The intention is to put in the DVD and hit play just as you go to bed, and thus you can hear the dulcet sounds of a large-breasted anime girl tossing and turning and snoring beside you. It’s like having a real girlfriend, except not at all.

Hinako starred in a previous DVD called Training with Hinako, which was an exercise DVD where Hinako would lead exercises in a variety of skimpy outfits — which, although pervy, is a pretty good idea, actually. But a DVD that pretends someone’s sleeping next to you? That’s just sad — although it’s also pervy, because I believe Hinako can be programmed to pleasure herself at some point during the night. Sigh. Japanese guys, I’m sorry, but unless it comes with a mechanism for stealing the sheets and putting cold feet on you, Hinako’s not even close to a realistic experience. From one who knows.
