What happens: movable chip costs
The OK Prostate Chip is a small device placed in the urethra, the urine passage, to act on the prostate. Movable processing (a flexible joint) allows sections of a ceramic chip, or a chip and vibration motor, to bend relative to each other. A Yajirobee connection (a curved wire link) joins the rear ends of two chips. These connections form part of the device placed in the urethra.
Yajirobee connection prices depended on whether the wire had a cover
An entry published in May 2024 set out separate charges for connections between two chips. Both chip prices were payable, plus ¥3,000 (about $19 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax for bare wire or ¥4,000 (about $26 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax for a tube-covered connection.
Mr. Okada described the possible combinations as open-ended and offered to consider requested designs within practical limits. For customers seeking a thinner connection, he recommended bare wire.

Jointed chip prices separated connector charges from shafts and stoppers
In an entry published in December 2025, Mr. Okada introduced a modular jointed chip (an assembly of separate parts). It separated the chip-and-joint section, straight shaft, and heart-shaped stopper (a wire-loop component intended to hold the assembly).
The chip section added ¥2,000 (about $13 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) plus ¥500 (about $3 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) per joint, excluding tax, to the chip price; standard joints were roughly 10 mm long. Straight shafts cost ¥2,000 (about $13 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) up to 100 mm, ¥3,000 (about $19 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) up to 150 mm, or ¥4,000 (about $26 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) up to 200 mm, all excluding tax.
Heart-shaped stoppers cost ¥3,000 (about $19 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) for four layers or ¥2,500 (about $16 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) for two layers, excluding tax. Mr. Okada recommended the four-layer stopper, reporting that the two-layer design was more likely to slip out.

Dual-chip prices covered joints plus attachments to both ceramic pieces
In an entry published in January 2026, Mr. Okada presented a dual chip (two ceramic chips connected through a flexible joint assembly). Its additional charge was ¥6,000 (about $38 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax, on top of both chip prices.
The breakdown was 4 joints at ¥3,000, (about $19 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) first-chip attachment at ¥1,000, (about $6 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) and second-chip attachment at ¥2,000, (about $13 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) all excluding tax. The target bend was about 90 degrees, although Mr. Okada reported variation linked to drying and setting.
He generally preferred matching chip shapes but said different ceramic chips could also be connected. He warned that limited production capacity could extend delivery times.

Movable chip prices varied by ceramic shape when processing launched
In an entry published in January 2026, Mr. Okada introduced a joint with a 15 mm gap between ceramic sections. That gap contained 5 mm of resin at each end and 5 mm of rubber in the middle.
Standard bends were approximately 30 to 45 degrees, with around 90 degrees possible on request. Eligible shapes without bumps included short, medium-length, extended, long, and double-twist ceramic chips, plus sea-slug shapes except version 4.
Processing cost ¥4,000 (about $26 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax for short, medium-length, and medium-length sea-slug chips. Extended, long, double-twist, and sea-slug version 3 revision 2 chips carried a ¥5,000 (about $32 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) processing charge excluding tax.

Vibrating movable chip prices added processing charges to existing motorized models
In an entry published in February 2026, Mr. Okada introduced movable connections for vibrating ceramic chips. Processing added ¥4,000 (about $26 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax for short and medium-length ceramic chips, or ¥5,000 (about $32 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax for extended and long ones, to the vibrating chip price.
The stated motor options were 8 mm or 10 mm; Mr. Okada excluded 6 mm motors because he questioned the connection's reliability. Connection diameter was normally about 5 mm, with roughly 3 mm possible; spacing between chip and motor ranged from about 15 mm to 30 mm.
Mr. Okada described the flexible connection as allowing more choice of bend and spacing. He cautioned that strong or prolonged bladder vibration might be unhealthy.

The maker's answer to movable chip costs
Mr. Okada answered requests with separate processing quotes and changes to the connection design.
Movable chip quotes showed separate small and large processing charges
An entry published in January 2026 quoted a small movable-processing charge of ¥4,400 (about $28 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) and a large charge of ¥5,500 (about $35 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04). The small quote concerned a medium-length ceramic chip; the large quote concerned an extended ceramic chip.
The underlying chips were separately priced at ¥4,400 (about $28 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) and ¥5,500, (about $35 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) respectively. Only the extended chip was shown because the medium-length version was still being made.
A later entry published in January 2026 confirmed that the medium-length chip had shipped, although Mr. Okada said its accompanying photograph was incorrect. The diary does not record the customer's experience with that completed order.

Movable chip prototypes addressed a customer's concern about rubber contact
In an entry published in January 2026, Mr. Okada revisited a request for a long, narrow chip. The customer had also said that silicone did not suit their skin.
His proposed answer was a medium-length ceramic prototype with raised resin areas beside the 5 mm rubber joint. He intended the resin to reduce rubber contact with the tissue lining the urethra.
The diary does not record whether this prototype resolved the customer's concern. Mr. Okada presented the design as a possible response to concerns about rubber contact.

More flexible movable chips retained the original processing prices
In an entry published in February 2026, Mr. Okada reported customers struggling with placement and retrieval because the original movable joint was stiff. He developed a more flexible prototype with covered wire and a thinner rubber layer.
Mr. Okada reported that it bent beyond 180 degrees and backwards, with less resistance in his test. He said its ability to stay in place changed little, while the sensation decreased.
The more flexible version and an extra-long variant both retained the original movable-processing prices, excluding tax. He presented the more flexible joint as his response to complaints about stiffness.

Products the diary mentioned as alternatives
The diary names no alternative.
Custom movable processing, Yajirobee connections, modular jointed assemblies, and dual-chip builds: No matching product can be confirmed on the current list.
In an entry published in January 2026, Mr. Okada said an earlier thread-linked glass pair had been discontinued. He attributed the withdrawal to problems with the connecting threads becoming tangled.

Common worries about movable chip costs
The replies show that a quoted connection charge depended on the requested design and its manufacturing limits.
"Does the Yajirobee connection price include both resin chips?"
In an entry published in November 2025, a customer asked for two second-generation resin chips to be joined. Mr. Okada proposed a Yajirobee connection and quoted ¥4,400 (about $28 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) for a 3 cm tube-covered link.
Both chip prices, a thread hole, and separate thread assemblies appeared as additional items in the quote. The diary does not record whether this quoted order was completed.

https://ok-lab.hatenablog.com/entry/2025/11/29/122908
"Is the older movable chip connection still available?"
In an entry published in January 2026, a customer requested an older curved connector behind a screw-shaped auxiliary chip (an additional chip). OK Lab called that soft-nylon format effectively discontinued because it was unstable, shed rubber, and could not reliably hold a specified angle.
The reply offered rubber-coated thread without a specified angle, or a possible design reinforced with nitinol (shape-memory wire). Mr. Okada then made a wire-reinforced prototype; the customer's final choice is not recorded.
The added charge was ¥3,000 (about $19 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax, above the price of a chip with ordinary thread and a screw-shaped auxiliary chip. The reply asked the customer to confirm which specification they wanted.

https://ok-lab.hatenablog.com/entry/2026/01/24/122909
"Can a short twisted chip have movable processing?"
In an entry published in March 2026, a customer requested movable processing for a short twisted ceramic chip. Staff initially replied that the work normally covered only untwisted chips without bumps.
They offered to attempt a prototype if the customer accepted additional time. No answer had arrived when Mr. Okada proceeded with a trial, which he successfully completed despite the awkward shape.
The prototype required extra factory shaping of the cut surfaces, which Mr. Okada described as difficult. He said he was willing to attempt difficult requests.
