Tokyo Kawaii TV Hello Kitty Episode

While surfing the net I came across this site for Tokyo Kawaii TV Hello Kitty Episode. There more Hello Kitty Kawaii than one can shake a stick at. Most of I seen but amusing segments include: 

Fellow male fan:  13:04 

 Possibly outing of MR. Hello Kitty Hell: 13:38

  

Ok probably not, I do not think Mr. KHK would wear a Hello Kitty Man Shirt and the room looks like there would be no place for a Hello Kitty sleeping bag. Still the enthusiasm of the wife in the video gives credence that Mr. Hello Kitty Hell’s wife exists. 

Finally, a segment and offbeat design contest on Hello Kitty stuff for men. 16:41

Hail and Farewell

It’s been a while since I did a HKO post. 31 May was the last day of Hello Kitty on line Area Games I decided to take a few pictures as say goodbye to Aeria and Hello again to Sanrio digital.

First up is my avatar developed over the Aeria Game’s open beta. I won the shirt at the birthday event and I replace the silly stone hate with a bandanna. I guess I go the Kung Fu look down or a black Willie Nelson. It took me a while to get back to the look I had during the Founder’s Beta.

Next, the inside of my mud hut I got from a London quest. I am little low on Loyalty points, so I got the more important items for a bachelor: a chair and a refrigerator for the beer.

Finally, a screen shot of a few of us with a few GMs

 

To the Areia GM goodbye and Godspeed. To the rest see you all in a few days.

Hello Kitty Rant Time

While job-hunting, I some time take a break and go to yahoo answers (which is mostly useless) where one and ask questions and have to internet populations answer them. Usually I check any questions about hello kitty. One in a while a question pop up of a guy who like pink hello kitty things and wonder is he gay? It is classical logical fallacy; a gay man like pink, a second man like Hello Kitty pink therefore the second guy must be gay.  One preference for Hello Kitty does not denote sexual orientation. As a fur, I know some who are gay and have mix results: some like her and some are like Mr. Hello Kitty Hell cannot stand her or do not understand why I like Hello Kitty. Most furs did like my large Chococat, got many hugs, and scritches from all at the last meet. (Lucky Cat)

Speaking of other things, I have taken to expressing my love of the cute one by carrying a pink Hello Kitty backpack. I have to confess I am a bit a of a nonconformist eccentric. I really do not care what others may think. If I want to use a hello Kitty Backpack, no harm done. Recently because of unemployment, I been using mass transit for long trips the last few months to conserve fuel. Last Tuesday a person on the Max train finally noticed. Jokingly he said he is willing exchange bags with me; I wonder what was going through his mind when I told him I like the one I am carrying. I am more amused that it took that long. Ether they think I was carrying the kid’s bag, helping to keep Portland weird (part of my reasoning), or a 6’ 4 man who look like a professional wrestler can carry whatever bag he wants.

Could This Be The End Of Kitty? Say it aint so.

Hello Kitty gets closer to goodbye as company searches for next big thing

What the article presents is the possibility that Hello Kitty is running out of steam. I do agree with some of the facts presented. One fear I do have is Hello Kitty is over exposed and over emphasized, just walk into any Sanrio store. One can see rows of Hello Kitty items but very little of other charters. I can see the same over emphasis at Hello Kitty Lab and 35Th Anniversary Three Apple events. Still popularity is dimming in Japan; Hello Kitty is just getting started in the rest of the world.

So what is Hello Kitty to do? Figurative speaking, she  could buy a ticket, fly to Los Angles, and have tea and a long talk to another American cartoon icon, Mickey Mouse whose silhouette ears is much of a cultural icon as Hello Kitty’s bow.  He probably will give a slight chuckle as he hears Hello Kitty problems at 35, him being 82.

Still like Hello Kitty, Mickey has not made a cartoon in years still his image is present at every Disney Parks and store while other charters have taken the spotlight. Retiring Hello Kitty will be a huge mistake, it the same way if Disney tries to retire Mickey. Still Sanrio need to revamp it store product line featuring   other and new charter will keep Hello Kitty as a prominent   but not as center of attention. It is good for Sanrio to hire some Disney talent to help in the transition.
