I finally bought the “Gorilla Hitotsuki,” which I’ve wanted for a while, from Bic Camera!
The “Gorilla Hitotsuki” is an electric foot massager designed for foot care. It uses a powerful pump and “Hitotsuki” parts to stimulate acupressure points and help relieve fatigue. It’s lightweight, compact, and easy to attach with hook-and-loop fasteners. The device is simple to operate and has an automatic shut-off function after 10 minutes. For more details, please visit the official site.
As per the instructions, I tried using it on my feet. As you can see in the picture, it has three intensity levels. Even at the lowest setting, labeled “weak,” it pressed quite firmly on my feet. At first, I was in agony and couldn’t help but scream.
However, after enduring the pain for the 10-minute timer, my feet felt refreshed, and the fatigue was gone. Foot acupressure is amazing!
The Gorilla Series
The “Gorilla Series” also includes another popular product: the “Gorilla Hitotsukami,” a calf massager. Like the “Gorilla Hitotsuki,” it provides a strong stimulus that can be addictive. However, due to its high demand, new stock of the “Gorilla Hitotsukami” won’t be available until September. Bic Camera is taking pre-orders with an unspecified shipping date.
A Clever Trick
So, I had an idea. (This might not be officially recommended, but…) I removed the protrusions from the “Gorilla Hitotsuki” and used the main unit on my calves.
This creates a firm and relaxing massage for the calves by alternately tightening and loosening. I found it quite satisfying!
Summary
The “Gorilla Series,” currently very popular among women, features massage devices priced at 5,505 yen each. Since buying two would exceed 10,000 yen, I’m using one on each foot. Of course, it comes with a warranty, so you can use it with peace of mind. I’m using it for both foot and calf massages.
I’ve bought many massage devices before, but none provided such strong stimulation. It’s truly recommended for those who seek strong stimulation, though it might be too intense for those sensitive to pain.
At Bic Camera Yurakucho, you can try it out on the spot. If you’re considering purchasing, feel free to ask the staff. I was unsure at first, but after trying both the “Hitotsuki” and “Hitotsukami,” I decided to buy them. Personally, it feels so refreshing that I might not need to go for monthly massages anymore.
If you’re interested, please give it a try!
