Hello Kitty News Dump

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. After the disappointing cancelation of Hello Kitty’s Supercute Festival , Europe gives it a go with a live show, Hello Kitty Live Fashion and Friends , the story goes as “The Present, London. A group of great friends. The passion for creativity, fashion and music. An opportunity that can change Hello Kitty’s life. A story of friendship. A challenge you can share.” The show was panned by the British theater critics, but then what in heck are they expecting, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats? Give me a break.
The show is current ruing in France and will return to Great Brittan,I  hope the show will make it to Asia we can hope for a North American run.
The second story is a follow up on the Hello Kitty Men project; Hello Kitty Men; Unveiling 12 Items in Collaboration with 6 Tokyo Men’s Brands. The article is interesting that Hello Kitty designer Yuko Yamaguchi reiterates Sanrio desire to enter the men’s market .
“Hello Kitty designer Yuko Yamaguchi told the reception party, “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’t view it as particularly ‘girly.’ We’ve also received requests from high school boys who’ve 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.
Looking toward the next generation, I think we must have fans among men as well as women. Since I’m a woman, it’s difficult for me to always know what men want, so I’m delighted that we’ve been able to collaborate with all these wonderful people. It was quite a challenge to design Hello Kitty with men in mind, and I’m 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’s fascinating to hear so much interest in these unique items.”
You can see the collaboration here 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.

First Hello Kitty Admission

I am in the process of closing out my fury Live Journal account due to a lack in use. But first I been going through some of my old post and found this one. I made this post the day when I first started buying Hello Kitty items for myself. Also I was very unsure about it, myself or what others would think and never thought it would go as far as it does today.

Hello Sermon

From Minnesota   Union Dispatch

1 April 2013

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.

A Change in Direction

I had been thinking about the direction of my blog for a while. When I started this blog it was about my love of Hello Kitty and other characters for a standpoint of being a Male fan, and in a way tweak Mr. Hello Kitty Hell.  But as I joined other sites like   Hello Kitty Junkies felt there something missing: in-depth news and commentary on the culture of Hello Kitty and Friends.  Most of site I been to are about shopping a displaying purchases; that fine I wanted more. I guess the issue being a vast majority of participating in the forum and blogs are women, A Men for Mars and Women from Venus is going on.

I going to make some changes to this blog, I still focus my life as a Male Hello Kitty fan but I going to add more new and commentary.

Change one the name: Thanks to an article the name for Hello Kitty fans is Kittilers not Kittyler, I was spelling wrong all this time.

The goals of my blog regardless of how little readers I get is :

1. A place to share my commentary on News and media involving the Culture of Sanrio  and Hello Kitty

2.    Yuko Yamaguchi: answered this question  in  an interview

Q:”What will Hello Kitty be doing in 10 years?

A: 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.

My goal is to see this happen.

3.  Still share  my life as a Male Hello Kitty Fan.

4. Have fun while doing 1, 2, and 3.

 

So I invite you to join me in my new endeavor.
