The video builds on the recent Hello Kitty Men project. The video features the shirt and shoes. Personally I like the shirt but do not care for the shoes.

Did Sanrio Say Goodbye To The USA?
Ok we got a new EVA Hello Kitty jet run from Taipei to Houston. Yet there now the Hello Kitty Men project, Nendo Hello Kitty shirt line and then there the Hello Kitty collaborations with DC comics. The problem is none of it happen here in the US of A. Since Sanrio abandoned retail in the US last year, there is not much going on. A few stores in Portland are selling a small number of items and there was the 24 inch plush sold by Toys are us for $34.00 (I got my for $19.00 on Black Friday. Other than that there been slim pickings in my neck of the woods.
Dear Sanrio We male fans do exist in the US when will we get our Sanrio / Hello Kitty line?
Hello Kitty Men Project Part II
As I posted earlier, Sanrio has entered the men’s market with the Hello Kitty Men Project . Sanrio is trying make Hello Kitty cool for men. I am glad for the effort but puzzled by the small scale of the project and subtleness of the line. First I was hoping for something more overtly Hello Kitty than just a bow. Not just bow, I want to see Hello Kitty on the men’s line.
Another issue as reported in Forbes magazine there was only limited quantity and limited number stores in Japan especially for the shoes. I was hoping for a larger release especially in the US.
Moreover, nobody thought in 2010 a show about magical ponies aimed at little girls would attract a large group of men and teens. The Bronies proven it can be done, but unlike Hasbro, Sanrio always wanted the male market.
