Looks good to me.
I think we should have an x-ref to the generic term.

The Japanese brand Magic Tape isn't known in English so shouldn't be a gloss. Besides, when I read it, I thought it was referring to Scotch Tape.

Shouldn't this be split into two separate senses? Most usages are probably not referring to the brand.
