After the disappointing cancelation of Hello Kitty\u2019s Supercute Festival , Europe gives it a go with a live show, Hello <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hellokittylive.com\">Kitty Live Fashion and Friends<\/a> , the story goes as \u201cThe Present, London. A group of great friends. The passion for creativity, fashion and music. An opportunity that can change Hello Kitty&#8217;s life. A story of friendship. A challenge you can share.\u201d The show was panned by the British theater critics, but then what in heck are they expecting, Andrew Lloyd Webber\u2019s Cats? Give me a break.<br \/>\nThe show is current ruing in France and will return to Great Brittan,I\u00a0 hope the show will make it to Asia we can hope for a North American run.<br \/>\nThe second story is a follow up on the Hello Kitty Men project; Hello Kitty Men; <a href=\"http:\/\/prw.kyodonews.jp\/opn\/release\/201510224858\/\">Unveiling 12 Items in Collaboration with 6 Tokyo Men\u2019s Brands<\/a>. The article is interesting that Hello Kitty designer Yuko Yamaguchi reiterates Sanrio desire to enter the men\u2019s market .<br \/>\n\u201cHello Kitty designer Yuko Yamaguchi told the reception party, &#8220;In the 40 years since Hello Kitty was born, the character has been thought of as something that is just for girls, but now we hear from men in their 20s and 30s who don\u2019t view it as particularly \u2018girly.\u2019 We\u2019ve also received requests from high school boys who\u2019ve been brought up by mothers who are Hello Kitty fans and have gotten used to the character as part of their lives, asking us to make items to suit their style.<br \/>\nLooking toward the next generation, I think we must have fans among men as well as women. Since I\u2019m a woman, it\u2019s difficult for me to always know what men want, so I\u2019m delighted that we\u2019ve been able to collaborate with all these wonderful people. It was quite a challenge to design Hello Kitty with men in mind, and I\u2019m really satisfied with how well all of these collaboration items manage to express the various brand colors. Listening to the reactions from the men who attended this event, it\u2019s fascinating to hear so much interest in these unique items.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/zozo.jp\/shop\/zozospot\/goods\/8109915\/?did=21496831\">You can see the collaboration here<\/a> except for the 10000 Y t-shirt I am not impressed, I want something more overtly hello kitty. If Sanrio want to really reach the male market in the US, get Lauren Faust to reboot Hello Kitty and Friends, we will own the Brony fandom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while so sit back and here two stories It is the other side of the pond turn for a hello Kitty show.
