But not Junko Suzuki, or about 1000 others in Japan who<br \/>\n        have bought the pillow, which Kameo says is the first of its kind. The<br \/>\n        product went<br \/>\n          on the market last<br \/>\nDecember.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&quot;I like to sleep holding someone&#8217;s hand,&quot; Ms Suzuki, 34. &quot;And<br \/>\n  this pillow makes me feel relaxed because I can hold the arm and feel something<br \/>\n  warm at my side.&quot;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"> The pillow is only on sale in Japan, where customers can<br \/>\n        buy one for Y8500 ($106.8). Covered in a shirt-shaped pillow cover, it<br \/>\n      comes in blue, pink or green.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&quot;It keeps holding me all the way through,&quot; she said in her home outside<br \/>\nof Tokyo. &quot;I think this is great because this does not betray me.&quot;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The company also has a prototype for its next big project:<br \/>\n        a female pillow for men. This one will be shaped like a woman&#8217;s lap,<br \/>\n        with a &quot;skirt&quot; cover.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><em>Hell, the Dowbrigade has had one of those for years.
