Sanrio’s Brony Play

It been in the new for some time about  Sanrio and the Hub developing a new show based on Kiss X Hello Kitty collaboration.

I know the wild success by the hub of My little Pony Friendship is Magic and the unlikely fan group of male teens and adults better known as bronies. In addition it is not lost on me Sanrio is tiring to make inroads into the men market with the KISS x Hello Kitty and Street Fighter X Hello Kitty collaboration.

10 Questions for Yuko Yamaguchi:
What will Hello Kitty be doing in 10 years?
Catherine G. Pilie, Covington, La.
In 10 years’ time, everybody around the world will know her. Also, the number of male and female fans will be the same. Men who are still reluctant to be seen with Kitty in public today might be wearing Hello Kitty boxers. But they will eventually stop being shy and will show off Kitty proudly.

Yuko Yamaguchi carries on as nurturing parent of Hello Kitty:
Asked about her next challenge,

“Yamaguchi said she wants to attract boys.

“I want boys to join the superhero Ichigoman fan club. Unlike other Sanrio characters, Ichigoman is a fighting character. We aim to make it into an anime and ultimately making it a TV series of a story about a hero.””

I see the new series as Sanrio’s brony play, which is not a bad thing. Unlike Hasbro, Sanrio want the Young Men’s market.

Kiss seems to be an odd choice, I would go with rebooting Hello Kitty and Friends in the same way My Little Pony. More telling if this is a brony play if Lauren Faust is brought on as a producer.

Hello Sermon

Mega Church pastor tones thing down after 2009 Highway to Hell controversy.

Perry Noble in an attempt to placate critics plans new sermon series on spiritual principals of Hello Kitty.    Perry in an interview say Hello Kitty is a cultural icon and relevant to what we do here at Newsprings.  What has been leaked so for about the schedule is murky;

First week: you can never has to many friends: bring somebody to church, we need your seat.

Second week: always share; remember to leave your tithe and seed offerings.

Final Week: be brave; have audacious faith.

Critics claimed that Mr. Noble is just trying to get a jump ahead of announcement of Kiss and Hello Kitty TV Series on the Hub.

Commentator and Bible teach Chist Rosebrough I could not be reach for comment.

 

Update Sanrio has released a press statement:

Sanrio®, the owner of the Hello Kitty® property, wishes to correct misconceptions cast by recent news reports suggesting that we are involved in Narcissistic Eisegesis of scripture. Sanrio has not authorized Narcissistic Eisegesis twisiting of scripture and does not condone the use of our intellectual property for the purposes of marketing this sermon series.
