Update note _v1.10.0 & v1.11.0​

Hello, this is the "Project Sekai" development team.
It's been about a year since this update note started.
We started the service on September 30, 2020, and I feel that it is thanks to everyone's warm support that we are celebrating our first anniversary safely. We would like to thank the entire development team.
We will continue to devote ourselves to delivering new experiences and excitement to everyone, so thank you for your cooperation.

In this update note, we will introduce two versions, version 1.10.0, which will be performed just before the 1st anniversary, and version 1.11.0, which will be performed after that.

* Added at 18:00 on November 12,
version 1.10.5 has been released as 1.11.0, so the notation has been changed.

Connect live will be held​

The virtual live function has been updated little by little as a function that allows you to have a unique experience even in "Project Sekai", but this time, it has been decided to hold Connect Live, which has greatly evolved in terms of both functionality and content.

Connect Live aims to "reproduce the actual live experience to the limit in the game":

・ Singing in full version of all songs (excluding some medley songs)
・ Real-time movement of characters and talk * 1・ It has features such as
renewal of stage and live performance . In particular, we believe that real-time implementation will enable us to respond to the support and messages received from everyone on the spot, providing a more realistic live experience. The 1st tour of Connect Live will be held for each unit, and performances are scheduled every 1 to 2 months. You will have to purchase a ticket for a fee and watch it, but it will be possible to watch it until the middle of the live even if it is free of charge. In addition, since this function is a very challenging function for us as a development team, in order to deliver it to everyone in perfect condition, first of all, "rehearsal" as a beta test implemented in version 1.10.5 "Performance" is scheduled to be held. In this rehearsal performance, we will verify whether it works properly even with a large number of simultaneous connections, and as soon as we can confirm that there is no problem, we will announce the actual schedule and sell tickets. Therefore, it will take some time before the actual performance is held, but we appreciate your understanding. We look forward to your participation and cooperation in the rehearsal performances in order to update you to the best live experience.













* 1 It is assumed that the talks of each performance and some characters will be recorded. note that.
Connect live announcement PV released!

Birthday gacha will be held on the character's birthday / anniversary​

By celebrating the 1st anniversary, each character's birthday and anniversary will also be celebrating for the second time.
Along with that, we will hold "HAPPY BIRTHDAY Gacha" and "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Gacha" (hereinafter referred to as "Birthday Gacha") on birthdays and anniversaries!

Only the characters for that birthday / anniversary will appear in the birthday gacha.
Also, ★ 4 will not appear, but instead, birthday limited members will appear with the same probability of 3%.
This birthday limited member has a special rarity such as "Birthday" and can be used with a feeling close to ★ 4, but it has the following features.

・ As with ★ 4, the maximum level is Lv.60, but since there is no special training, it is possible to train from the beginning to the maximum level. (Since there is no special training, there is no change in the illustration.)
・ Has special skills such as birthday skills that specialize in recovery.
・ Less than ★ 4 and more than ★ 3 are required for skill level up and master rank up.
・ When exchanging in the waiting room, it will be equivalent to 300 pieces of your feelings.

You can draw up to 100 birthday gachas, and you can exchange them for birthday limited members with 100 gacha stickers dedicated to this gacha.

In addition, the gacha seals obtained here can only be exchanged for the target birthday limited members, and cannot be exchanged for gacha seal tickets and used for other gachas.
Also, please note that other permanent / limited gacha seal tickets cannot be used for birthday gacha.

Addition / change of event bonus​

The following additions and changes will be made to the event bonuses for events held after the 1st anniversary.

■ Bonus member and bonus type bonus value change
The basic bonus value will be increased, and the calculation will be changed to a simple calculation that eliminates the additional bonus when both match.

　■ Bonus character
　　+ 20% → + 25%
　■ Bonus type
　　+ 20% → + 25%
　■ Bonus value for both matches
　　+ 50% (no change)

■ Additional bonus for specific member formation
One year has passed since the service started, and with the character While there are many members who match both types, the merit of acquiring new members at the gacha held at the same time as the event has diminished.
Therefore, while keeping the bonus value of matching the character and type, we have made it possible to obtain further bonuses by organizing new members in the gacha.

■ Organization of specific members
+ 20% for each member
(up to + 70% for each member if the character type matches)

■ Bonus value added by master rank

Currently, the benefits of increasing the master rank are generally small.
Therefore, I decided to add an event bonus according to the master rank of the member.


■ Adding bonuses to virtual singers who do not have subunits Virtual singers
who do not have subunits have had little opportunity to utilize them at events.
Therefore, we will make adjustments to make it easier to use overall.

■ Virtual singer who does not have a
subunit If designated as a bonus character, + 15% regardless of the designated subunit
(+ 40% for type matching)

■ Change the bonus character of the event for each unit to "All units"
Until now, for so-called "box events" where specific units are the main, the maximum number of bonus characters has been set to 5 due to the specifications.
With this update, this specification has been revised, and from now on, all units will be eligible for bonus characters.
This also applies to virtual singers who have that subunit.

■ Adjustment of score calculation formula for
live and cheerful live with everyone In the score calculation formula for live and cheerful live with everyone, the skill effect of other members is calculated by multiplying the skill of the leader to be activated so far. However, when we were looking to add new skills in future updates, we decided that it would be difficult to maintain balance over the long term, so we decided to make adjustments.

Specifically, the calculation of skill effects is not multiplication (multiplication) but addition (addition).
This is expected to reduce the live and cheerful live scores by about 20%.
note that.

In addition, the amount of event P badges that can be acquired at the event will be most affected by this adjustment, but regarding this, the amount of event P badges that can be acquired will not decrease so that the amount of players in all play bands will not decrease. Make adjustments.

Specifically, the amount of Event P badges that can be obtained on the base will increase.
Therefore, the difference in points earned depending on the score will be reduced to some extent, but the event P badges that can be earned even by those who are currently giving high scores will not decrease.

In addition, the score rank status achieved before the update will remain the same.

★ 2 ～ ★ 4 members who appeared in the past at the member exchange have appeared​

Thankfully, many people are getting new Proseca every day, but we would like to continue to maintain an environment that is easy for new players to get.

As part of that, as mentioned in "Project Message vol.8", we will be able to exchange ★ 2 ★ 3 members of past events for "Gacha Seal Tickets", but this time we will be able to acquire more (Carafes).・ Constant ★ 4 members who have finished picking up (excluding limited members who newly appeared for a limited time etc.) have passed a certain period of time to solve the problem that it is difficult for new players to obtain. ★ 4 Members will be able to exchange for Gacha Seal tickets.

On the other hand, we would like to continue to maintain the merits of those who got it when the new gacha appeared, and one year has passed since the first appearance of the permanent ★ 4 members regarding the exchangeable start timing. increase.

Again, the ★ 4 members that can be exchanged with a gacha seal ticket are "only permanent members, excluding the limited members newly introduced in the limited time gacha, carafes gacha, etc."
See below for details.

■ ★ 2 ・ ★ 3 Members
Will be added during the month about half a year after the last event of the month ends.
At the timing of this 1st anniversary, ★ 2 and ★ 3 of the event for half a year from the release will be exchangeable.

Example: Members who appeared in the event from April 30th to May 29th, 2021 → Additional

/ required gacha seal tickets during the month of December 2021
　★ 3 Gacha seal tickets 7
　★ 2 2 gacha seal tickets

* Added at 20:30 on September 27.
Corrected because there was an error in the additional timing.


■ ★ 4 members
will be added during the month about one year after the last gacha of the month ends.
Example) Members newly appeared in the gacha from April 30th to May 29th, 2021 → Additional

/ required gacha seal tickets during the month of May 2022
　30 gacha seal tickets

* The above period may differ depending on the member there is.

★ 2 ・ ★ 3 members who could be exchanged at past events also appeared in gacha​

As the ★ 2 ・ ★ 3 members of the past event are added to the exchange, the corresponding ★ 2 ・ ★ 3 members will also appear from the gacha.
The timing of being added to the gacha will be the same as the timing of being added to the exchange.

Improved sound quality and delay for in-game sound​

The following improvements have been made by updating CRI ADX2, the middleware that plays audio.

-Improved SE response to input during rhythm games-
Reduced delay when using Bluetooth devices-Reduced
musical delay that occurs when launching apps that generate sound other than this app
-Android Improvement of some sound quality on the device

This update will improve on the iPhone, but it is expected that the delay of the sound in the rhythm game especially on the Android device will be dramatically improved.

Also, due to this update, the tap timing adjustment may be different from the previous feeling, so please adjust again after the update.

Resale of limited costumes earned with past premium mission pass rewards​

At the Crystal Shop, we will resell the Premium Mission Pass limited costumes that have been sold for one month only.
The pricing is as follows so that those who purchased the Premium Mission Pass in the past will not lose.

■ All color sets
　Paid crystals 3,000

■ Paid crystals for each color
　color 1,000

* Costumes you already have cannot be repurchased.

Changed the purchase method of "profitable set" in the crystal shop to purchase by consuming paid crystals (excluding some)​

There are two ways to get paid crystals, one is to buy directly from "Purchase Crystal" in the crystal shop, and the other is to buy "Great Value Set" and get the paid crystals included in it. It continued.
This time, we decided to purchase paid crystals basically from "Purchase Crystals", and to adjust the "Great Value Set" as a place to consume the purchased paid crystals, as in the case of virtual live shops.

On the other hand, if you sell with the same set contents and price as before, the paid crystals included in the set will disappear as it is, so the price and contents of the set will be adjusted and newly added as follows. We will also make changes such as adding gacha tickets.

■ Sewing kit
　/ Sales price
1,500 paid crystals

Gacha ticket 5 pieces

* The gacha ticket is an item that allows you to draw a gacha that can use free crystals once. If you have a gacha bonus, you can get the same amount of bonus as if you draw with a free crystal.

Increased player rank limit​

It has been a while since the last player rank limit was raised, and many people have reached the current rank limit of 300.

Therefore, this time, we will raise the upper limit of the player rank from 300 to 400!
New titles will be added as the upper limit is raised, so please try to win.

Addition of character missions​

As with the player rank, many people have reached the upper limit in certain character missions, so we will add the following.

◯ Live with each character as the leader
10,500 times / 11,000 times / 11,600 times / 12,200 times / 12,900 times

Challenge Stamp Reward Update​

In the rewards that can be obtained when 7 challenge stamps are pressed, it is difficult to feel the appeal of rewards other than crystals.
Therefore, the reward amount of each item will be changed as follows!

■ Crystal
　100 (no change)

■ Music card
　5 → 10

■ Miracle gem
　30 → 50

■ Practice score (intermediate)
　25 → 50

■ Coins
　30,000 pieces → 100,000 pieces

Change the content of rewards that can be obtained in normal live missions​

Until now, the only rewards you can get in regular live missions are crystals and coins, but we will make adjustments so that you can also get other items.
After the change, the total amount of items that can be obtained when reaching the maximum of 8,000P is as follows.

■ Crystal
　500

　150

To be correct, as I told you in the live broadcast on September 26, it will be "Kakera of Thoughts x 100".

Review the difficulty level of some songs​

We have added a large number of songs in the past year, but if we reapply to the current standards, there are some that do not match the notation of the difficulty level of the songs, so we reviewed it as follows. increase.

■ Once Upon A Dream
　MASTER 26 → 27

■ Sekai
　MASTER 26 → 27

■ Chururila Chururila Daddadda!
　MASTER 30 → 31

■ Senbonzakura
　MASTER 31 → 32
　EXPERT 25 → 26
　HARD 19 → 20

■ The last confession of the earth
　MASTER 30 → 31

■ World Is Mine
　MASTER 27 → 28

■ RAD DOGS
　MASTER 29 → 30

■ Junky Nighttown Orchestra
　MASTER 30 → 31

■ Bocca de la Verita
　EXPERT 24 → 25

■ Unknown Mother Goose
　EXPERT 25 → 26

■ Dance Robot Dance
　EXPERT 25 → 26

■ Hatsune Miku's disappearance
　HARD 20 → 21
　NORMAL 14 → 15

In addition, this adjustment only corrects the "notation" of the difficulty level, so it does not change the content of the rhythm game itself.

Relaxing the required points for the challenge stage and adjusting the formula for earning points​

It seems that the points required for each stage up of the challenge stage have been set to a slightly high hurdle for a long time.
One year has passed since the service started, and since we have collected enough data from various play bands, we can make adjustments with an eye on the medium- to long-term balance, so we have relaxed the points necessary for the challenge stage. increase.

After this adjustment, stage 10 is expected to be around stage 16 now, and stage 35 is expected to be around stage 51 now.
The new stage will be decided based on the total number of points earned so far, so for many people, I think it will be higher than the previous stage.
In addition, the stage-up reward (crystal and character rank EXP) increased by this adjustment will be compensated and adjusted separately.

At the same time, there is a big difference in the points that can be earned by beginners and advanced players, so we will adjust the formula for calculating challenge points.
In this adjustment, the base point will be greatly increased, and instead, the amount of increase due to the increase in score will be reduced.
Since the effect value of the increase in base points is larger, the points earned will not decrease for all players, but will increase mainly for beginners.

This adjustment is scheduled to be made on October 1st.

New stage addition for each unit​

Each unit will stand on a new stage with 3DMV and virtual live of songs added after the 1st anniversary!
Please check the upcoming in-game announcements for additional units, songs, dates, etc.

Addition of stamps for each Sekai Miku (added at 20:30 on September 27)​

First of all, I apologize for the concern that I did not tell you about this in the live broadcast.

Regarding the addition of stamps for each Sekai Miku, which was mentioned in "Project Message vol.8", we will add a total of 5 stamps for each type!
There are only 5 types this time, but we are considering adding more in the future, so please look forward to it.

This is scheduled to be added to the stamp shop on October 1st.

Bug fixes​

-Fixed a bug that was in an unintended order when switching the ascending / descending order of the member list, etc.-Fixed a bug
that could be operated before the processing was completed when making a
recommended organization-When making a recommended organization Fixing bugs that do not reach the maximum total power, fixing
other minor bugs

Update note v1.9.0​

The heat is still harsh, but aren't you all doing summer heat?
Welcome to the update note for the first time in 2 months!
"Project Sekai" development team.

The new version 1.9.0 is the last major update before the 1st anniversary of next month, and it is a modest update such as bug fixes, but one of the main features is that you can freely create a profile to your liking. A new "custom profile" that can be implemented will be implemented.

Implementation of custom profile​

In Project Sekai, "Sekai" is born from various "feelings", but I think that various "feelings" may be born as you play the game.
As a function that can express such passionate feelings, "Custom Profile" that allows you to customize your profile for yourself will be implemented!

With this custom profile, you are free to display anything from all elements, including characters and general-purpose images, as well as the members and titles you have acquired, as well as the play history such as overall strength and song clear status. You can choose and design to your liking.
Also, if you find it difficult to create from scratch, don't worry, you can use your previous profile as a template and then customize it, or you can use your previous profile as it is.

You can also take screenshots, so we hope that you can use it like a business card in places other than games such as SNS to help communication.

Motion on live costume screen changed to unique for each character​

In the live costume setting screen, the character's motion will be unique.
The motion is suitable for each character's individuality, so please take a look.

Bug fixes​

-Fixed a bug that the character was cut off in the production of some stories-Fixed a bug

It's been a while since I met you as a project message.

This time, I would like to pick up some questions and opinions from them and answer your questions and anxieties. I hope you will read it when you have time.

* The posted message may have been partially revised so that all people can understand it. note that.

Will ★ 2 ★ 3 members who appeared in past events be able to be acquired in the future?​

Yes it will be!
Currently, ★ 2 ★ 3 members who appeared in past events will not be able to acquire after the event period, but the side story may contain important information related to events, units, and characters. In addition, since it will be necessary to raise the character rank above a certain level, the development team is proceeding with high priority.

Specifically, for members who have passed a certain period of time since they appeared at the event, we are considering measures to exchange them for "Gacha Seal Tickets" and also obtain them from Gacha with a low probability. And the update will be done in the not too distant future.

Details will be announced as soon as they are decided, so please wait for a while.

Will the two male virtual singers not appear in units other than Bibibus Wandasho?​

Just as Kagamine Len appeared on stage at the event "Happy Lovely Everyday!" Currently being held, male virtual singers Kagamine Len and KAITO also appeared in units other than Vivibus Wandasho. Is scheduled.

Regarding the specific timing, I can not answer because it will appear according to the progress of the story of each unit, but I hope you can look forward to how they will appear in each Sekai.

Are there any plans to add Miku stamps for each Sekai?​

Yes, we are planning to add several Miku stamps for each Sekai at the stamp shop at the timing of the 1st anniversary!

Please tell me the age of the sub-characters!​

I summarized it here!

in conclusion​

What did you think.

We will answer the questions and opinions that arrived in the "#Proceca Opinion Box" for the next and subsequent project messages, so we would appreciate it if you could continue to tweet with hashtags.

kemu × Project Sekai Music addition campaign!​

Starting today, we will be holding a new song campaign with "Project Sekai Colorful Stage! Feat. Hatsune Miku" and Vocaloid P's kemu!

Music recording​

"Roku Chounen to Ichiya Monogatari"​

Virtual singer ver. (IA) / Sekai ver. (Ichika Hoshino & Hatsune Miku)

"The last confession of the earth"​

Virtual singer ver. (GUMI) / Sekai ver. (Haruka Kiriya & Shizuku Hinomori & Megurine Luka)

About "Sheet Music: Six Trillion Years and One Night Story"​

The song "Six Trillion Years and One Night Story" recorded this time will be the score of MASTER difficulty level Lv.33. In commemoration of the implementation of the music addition campaign, the music score production team will deliver the fun points of the music score!

How did you decide on the policy for making "Six Trillion Years and One Night Story" a high-difficulty score?​

This time, when it was decided to make the score difficult at the top level, the music speed was a little slower than "Hatsune Miku's disappearance" and "Hatsune Miku's singing", so I decided to aim for different difficulties other than speed. did.
While thinking about the rough concept of the total settlement of the high-difficulty musical score so far, I have put the answer of "What is the difficult musical score in a smartphone rhythm game?"
At first, I can't do this! You might think that, but the more you play, the more it tastes, and we have finished it so that it will continue to be loved and noticed!

Please tell me some difficult points about the score of difficulty MASTER!​

The first difficulty is the "fast alternating push" placed in the interlude. After high-speed alternating pushes in the center, the alternating pushes swung left and right are rushing in, so tap accuracy is also required!

(At the development stage, it was more difficult than the arrangement that everyone played. Lol)

The second difficulty is the high-speed slamming and flicking that attacks from the end of the chorus to the end of the song. There is a difficulty in processing at high speed while the finger is shaken from side to side.

Please give a word to those who aim for MASTER full combo!　　​

From the app release to the present, I'm really surprised at the skill level of your rhythm game! It is a very difficult score visually and physically for those who are not satisfied with the score so far, but there are various ways to challenge it, so I would like you to study it.

Please give a word to everyone who will enjoy it from now on!​

Of course, not only MASTER but also musical scores that can be enjoyed at any difficulty level from EASY to EXPERT are available! I think that the layout is grinning and the score is responsive, so I hope you will take this opportunity to get into the swamp of rhythm games.

Update note v1.8.0​

Welcome to the early summer update notes!
"Project Sekai" development team.
As mentioned in the live broadcast, this update is for two months, including May and June.

The new version 1.8.0 has new features such as "Gacha Bonus" and "Try-on Function" that allow you to get bonuses according to the points you collect by pulling Gacha, and "Adjustment of Miracle Gem Required to Release Side Story". Includes improvements in balance, and improvements in cheerful live glitches.

Introduced Gacha Bonus for some Gacha​

Half a year has passed since the release, and while special gachas such as "Gacha with limited-time members" and "★ 4 Fes gacha with double appearance rate" have been held, standard with new permanent members. As for the gacha, the cost performance has declined relatively.

Therefore, we will add a "Gacha Bonus" to such standard gachas, where you can get bonuses according to the points you collect by drawing gachas.
As for the gacha bonus, 0.5 points will be accumulated if you draw using free crystals, 1.0 points will be doubled if you draw using paid crystals, and if you accumulate 50 points in total, ★ 4 members will be confirmed. If you collect 100 points, one of the 4 members picked up by that gacha will appear at random.

Regarding the gacha bonus, among the new gachas that will be held after the update, "other than special gachas" such as festivals and limited-time members will be eligible.
Also, please note that the gacha held at the time of updating will not be covered, and the gacha bonus will not be carried over to other gachas.

For detailed explanations for each gacha, see the in-game explanations for each gacha.

Adjusted the number of miracle gems needed to unlock the side story​

Regarding the number of miracle gems required for the side story, the hurdle has been set a little high for a long time, but half a year has passed since the operation started, and data from various play bands are available. With enough gathering, we are now able to adjust the balance appropriately, so we will reduce the number of miracle gems required to release the side story as follows.

★ 4 members
・ 200 → 120

★ 3 members
・ 100 → 80

With this adjustment, Miracle Gem will be supplemented according to the number of side stories released before the adjustment.
Please be patient as we will announce the timing of compensation in the "Notice" in the game.

To understand the characters appearing in the side story in the gacha details​

Regarding the newly appearing members, even though the situation and costumes, as well as the accompanying side story are regarded as one of the charms, it is in a state where it is not known until the members are actually picked up. I was there.

Therefore, in the "Member Details" on the gacha top screen, it will be specified which character will appear in each side story.

Implementation of fitting function​

From the costume shop and live costume screen, you can try on live costumes that can be worn by your character!

You can try on not only original color live costumes but also unreleased other color costumes, so if you are wondering which costume to make, please use this function to find your favorite one.

Now you can turn off the penlight display in virtual live​

Thank you very much for your patience.
A function that allows you to turn off your penlight display in virtual live, which has been requested for a long time, will be implemented!

The OFF display can be set one hand at a time or both at the same time, so enjoy the virtual concert with the settings that suit your taste.

So that two people can sit on the bench in the waiting area​

There is no particular meaning, but you will be able to sit on the bench in the waiting area with two people.

Improvement of problems with Cheerful Live​

First of all, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused to your gameplay due to problems with Cheerful Live.

Regarding the problems of Cheerful Live, there are various causes, and many of them actually occur only when thousands and tens of thousands of players play at the same time, so it is necessary to investigate the cause of the problem. It is a situation where it takes time to respond to corrections.
Therefore, we are planning to make corrections little by little by repeating version upgrades multiple times, and with this update, it is expected that the frequency of occurrence of the following phenomena will decrease.

・ It is displayed that communication has been disconnected during game play, and the result screen does not transition normally or it becomes impossible to proceed.
・ It is displayed that annoying acts have been detected after playing even though no annoying acts have been performed. -A
bug that matches with the opponent team does not start even though there are 5 players- A bug that

Update note v1.7.0​

Welcome to the update notes just before Golden Week!
"Project Sekai" development team.
This time, it was an update centered on small improvements that received many opinions, and we have been telling you about the functions of measures against disconnection players, changes in the specifications of gacha seal exchange tickets and how to use them, and character missions. Additions etc. are included.

Measures to be taken when there is a player who has disconnected "Live with everyone"​

Thank you very much for your patience.
If there is a disconnected player during the play of "Live with everyone", we will take measures aimed at not causing any disadvantage to those who played to the end.

○ Regarding score rank
Until now, the score rank has determined the standard score of the rank based on the value for 5 people regardless of the disconnected user, but with this implementation, the disconnected player will be able to determine the standard score for 5 people. If so, the reference point will be determined by subtracting the number of people.
Also, the total score will be calculated excluding the disconnected player.

○ Regarding SUPER FEVER
Until now, SUPER FEVER had to be "5 people rush into FEVER CHANCE, and everyone hits a certain number of notes without interrupting the combo from the start of FEVER CHANCE", but this implementation Will be changed to the condition that "the user who is playing when entering FEVER CHANCE hits a certain number of notes without interrupting the combo from the start of FEVER CHANCE". This will leave you with a chance to activate SUPER FEVER even if there is a player who disconnects in the middle.

For other detailed specifications, please check the in-game notice.

Change of "Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket" and how to use it​

The usage of "Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket" and Gacha Seal Exchange will be changed as follows from the next Gacha.

○ Change in how to use the "Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket" At the
conventional Gacha Seal Exchange, it was necessary to exchange the "Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket" for Gacha Seal once before using it, but it will be held after this update. From the Gacha Seal Exchange, you will be able to choose whether to exchange with only the Gacha Seal or with the "Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket".
With this change, it is no longer necessary to exchange the "Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket" for Gacha Seal once.

○ Change of name Since the
"Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket" can be used directly at the exchange, the name of the "Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket (for 10 tickets)" will be changed to "Gacha Seal Ticket".
Even if the name changes, the "Gacha Sticker Ticket" will still be worth 10 Gacha Stickers.
The names of the "Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket (for 10)" and "Limited Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket (for 10)" that you currently have will be changed to "Gacha Seal Ticket" and "Limited Gacha Seal Ticket", respectively.

○ Of the members added in the limited gacha, only the members who are constantly added to the gacha will be able to use the normal "Gacha Seal Ticket" at the time of exchange.

○ Change in the number of available cards
Until now, the usage limit for "Gacha Seal Exchange Tickets (10 tickets)" was set for each exchange, but from now on, up to 10 "Gacha Seal Tickets" will be used for each member. You will be able to use the number of gacha stickers and gacha seal tickets in combination.

Refurbishment for cheerful events​

From the next Cheerful Event, we will improve some functions.

○ Relaxation of the upper limit of receiving live bonus drinks The upper limit of the
number of times you can receive a live bonus drink is limited to free gifts, and there is no upper limit if you consume paid crystals and receive gifts.

○ Fixed bugs of earned event P according to remaining life As mentioned in
the in-game notice, the following bugs have occurred for the specification that event P is returned in a small amount according to the remaining life at the time of live clear. I was there.

・ I have been able to acquire more event P than I originally expected.・ The
remaining life to be returned is supposed to be up to 1,000 life, but it exceeds the upper limit and is returned to 2,000 life.

We will fix the above problems and adjust the upper limit of the remaining life return amount to event P and the remaining life return amount to 1000.

○ Fixing other bugs
Please check the "Fixing bugs" item for the bugs to be fixed.

Tutorial breakthrough reward content improvement​

All the items distributed in "Pre-registration campaign reward" and "Let's make together! Project Sekai costume design campaign!"

Taking this into consideration, we will change the total number of music cards from 30 to 50.

About the act (leak) of illegally acquiring in-game data and content and spreading it on SNS etc. before official release​

Hello, this is the "Project Sekai" development team.

Currently, we have confirmed that there is an act of illegally extracting data and contents (music, images, MV, etc.) that are not officially released and disseminating them on SNS and video sites.

As the "Project Sekai" development team, we would like to value the emotional experience such as excitement, happiness, and fun when you first come into contact with the content. If cheating causes the eyes of someone who is looking forward to it, that person's valuable experience will be spoiled.
In some cases, the original project may not be able to proceed.

The development team will continue to take measures against fraudulent activities, but even if you are in charge of fraudulent activities, and if you see them, they will not spread to each SNS or Please report from the medium.

Continue to "Project Sekai Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku ”, thank you.

Update note v1.4.0​

Welcome to the first update note for 2021!
"Project Sekai" development team.

In the v1.4.0 update, the "friend function (first)" that has been requested by many people and the "vocal card exchange ticket" that can be obtained mainly through the event will be implemented.

In addition, since it was confirmed that there is almost no problem with the virtual live "Number of people expansion β test version" that was held from v1.3.1, up to 100 people can participate in all virtual live from v1.4.0. Private rooms will also be available.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the beta test.

Implementation of "friends"​

Sorry to keep you waiting. "Friend function" will be implemented!

In this update, only basic functions such as being able to make friends with other players are implemented, but in the future it will be possible to invite to "Live with everyone" and "Virtual live". We are planning an update that will make it easier for friends to interact with each other.

Addition of "Vocal Card Exchange Ticket" and "Vocal Card Exchange"​

Another vocal card is extremely rare because it is available in a limited way and it takes too long to obtain it, making it an item that is "unreasonable and unusable".

Therefore, a "vocal card exchange ticket" that can be obtained mainly through the event and a "vocal card exchange" that can be exchanged for each character's "another vocal card" using that ticket have been added. Will be done.

There are two types of "vocal card exchange tickets", one that can be exchanged for the vocal card of the character of a specific unit and the other that can be exchanged for the vocal card of everyone, and the types of exchange tickets that can be obtained will change depending on the event.

Improved Challenge Live Rewards​

Even busy people can enjoy the rhythm game once a day, so they can get more rewards for challenge live than others, but it seems that its appeal has not been widely spread yet.
Therefore, we decided to revise the rewards for Challenge Live upwards.

・ Practice score: 40 beginners → 5 intermediates (2.5 times more EXP gained)
・ Gem of each type: Increases especially significantly when score rank C, and slightly increases after B
・ Miracle gem: 5 → 10
・ Event P / Badge: Instead of the event bonus not being added, the amount of event P / badge base earned will increase significantly (* Only this update will be implemented separately in early February *)

. We hope you enjoy the challenge live every day.

Other function implementation and improvement​

-The slider of "Event Exchange" will only reach the number that can be exchanged.
-When exchanging at the "Omoi no Kakera Exchange", you will be able to specify the number of exchanges with the slider and exchange.
-You can skip each company's call when starting the application by tapping.
-Some of the virtual live actions will now work endlessly.
・ We will change the creator name of some songs.
・ [For those using iOS 14 or later devices] IDFA acquisition is voluntary for customers.
* Please see the in-game notice for detailed instructions on acquiring IDFA.

Bug fixes​

-Fixed a bug that is not reflected when the image quality setting is changed from the menu option-Fixed a bug that
the last adjusted SE value becomes the system SE volume when the SE volume is adjusted by the option-
Login immediately after the first DL You can play the area conversation before the start of the bonus production, and fix the problem that only the animation part of the login bonus is displayed during the area conversation playback.

Project message vol.7 Balance between unit and character, prospect of virtual live​

Hello. "Project Sekai" development team.

In this project message, one month has passed since the release, and now we are thinking about the balance between the unit and the character, which is worrisome to some people, and to many people. I would like to tell you about the future prospects of the virtual live that you are enjoying.

Balance between unit and character​

With some events and content added since the release, "Isn't a specific unit being treated preferentially (or unfavorably)?" "In the future, units and characters that you like will appear as well. We are aware of and take it seriously that there are people who are worried about "equity of units and characters" such as "Will you do it?"

"Equality of units and characters", which can be said to be the basis of Project Sekai, was mentioned a little in vol.2 , but from September 30th, when Project Sekai was released, to the present. Since there are many people who have learned about Proseca for the first time, I think that we should convey our thoughts again, and we have posted this message.

From the conclusion, even if the balance of units and characters may be lost in the short term, we are always considering and planning to restore the balance in the medium to long term.
We also deeply understand that "the character you like is treated unfavorably" is the worst experience for fans, and we strongly believe that it should never be the case.
Continuing to create an environment where you can support Project Sekai's units and characters for a long time and with peace of mind is a particularly important position in our work, and we will continue to work toward its realization. I will continue.

(Only one point, the balance of the virtual singer who sings in the newly written song has a big influence on the software used by the creators, so there will be a bias, but this point is also the virtual of "Happy Synthesizer".・ Like the singer ver., We plan to continue efforts to close the gap little by little by adding different vocal versions to specific songs.)

Virtual live outlook​

"Virtual Live", which is also a special feature of Proseca, will be continuously updated to make it a better experience.
Currently, a development plan based on a long-term perspective that we want to realize more than a year ahead has already started, but since there are still many parts that we can not talk about, this message is a little closer, short-term ~ I would like to tell you about the medium-term outlook.

We believe that "oneness with other players" is one of the major factors in providing a better virtual live experience, but due to current system constraints, only up to 15 people per room can be used at the same time. Unfortunately, the situation of not being able to watch a live performance is a factor that hinders the improvement of that "sense of unity".
Therefore, we are starting with adjustments to expand the number of people per room to about 50 to 100 people.
For this adjustment, we have to modify the basis of the virtual live system, and although it will take some time, we will also update the waiting room at the same time, so that we can have a virtual live after gathering in the waiting room. We believe that it will greatly increase the "sense of unity with other players" in the "series of experiences" until you see it.

in conclusion​

What did you think.
The project message is not limited to this time, but I would like to regularly convey your doubts and anxieties, or future prospects for the project.

Thank you for your continued support of "Project Sekai".

Project message vol.5 Balance between additional pace of music and 3DMV ratio​

Hello. "Project Sekai" development team.
It's only a few days until the release.
The entire development team is looking forward to having everyone pick up "Proseca" and meet the 26 characters of Hatsune Miku and others.

By the way, in this project message, we will talk about the pace of adding "music", which is a very important element in rhythm games, and "how many 3DMVs are there?" I would like to talk to you.

How many songs should be added per month ・ How do you think about the balance of 3DMV ratio?​

When the project was first established, one big issue was "how many songs should be added per month".
The history of the Vocaloid scene has been accumulated for more than 10 years, and even if you cut out a part of it, it will take too much time to add it little by little.
On the other hand, it is also a fact that the number of 3DMVs that can be stably produced with "quality above a certain level" is limited.
Specifically, the number of 3DMVs we can produce per month is currently about "2".
We want to deliver more content to you as soon as possible, but creating one 3DMV requires a very complicated process, a lot of staff, and time. So, this number of "2" is the realistic one that we can provide to the maximum at present.

Against this background, we should "add only songs with 3DMV" at the pace of 3DMV production, or "so that you can enjoy more songs." I had to choose whether to add songs by interweaving 3DMV and 2D.
And, as I mentioned at the beginning, it is possible to respond to the long history of the Vocaloid scene and the request that everyone probably expects, "I want you to include this Vocaloid song (which you like)!" We chose the latter because we wanted to answer as soon as possible.

Currently, we are constantly adding about 4-5 songs per month.
Of these, about 1 to 2 songs will be newly written by the creators for each unit, and the remaining 2 to 4 songs will be recordings of existing songs that you are listening to on Youtube and Nico Nico Douga. ..
This number of "4-5 songs per month" is the best balance to add as many songs as possible in the last-minute line where the problem of "adding too often and not being able to do it" does not occur. We think.

Concept of adding other songs​

On the other hand, given the length of the Vocaloid scene and the abundance of songs, we thought it could be "slightly insufficient" to satisfy more users.
Therefore, in addition to the songs that are constantly added every month, we are currently considering adding songs through irregular campaigns.
For example, the "20-day continuous song addition campaign" announced today, which will be carried out in a hurry to commemorate the release, corresponds to this (I think that there are not many campaigns to add so many songs at once in the future. However
, we hope that these campaigns will be held irregularly, such as during the New Year, when there is a special period in which everyone can play a lot of games, or when something is commemorated. increase.

Also, since Project Sekai is a game created adjacent to the Vocaloid scene, songs created by more creators, especially creators who are active as amateurs, are regularly created in some way. I would like to add more.
I think there will be one announcement on this point in the near future, so please look forward to it.

in conclusion​

What did you think.
We hope that this message will convey our "feelings" for the addition of "music", which is a core element of a rhythm game.
Also, if you have any opinions or requests regarding this project message, please feel free to send an email to support.

Well then, it's almost time to release!
Thank you for your continued support of "Project Sekai".

Project message vol.4 Judgment and life balance, update for release version​

Hello. "Project Sekai" development team.

The trial version of the app "Rehearsal Edit." Released the other day was played by more people than we had imagined, and we received a lot of valuable opinions.
Each and every feedback from everyone is the key to making Project Sekai a better game.
We would appreciate it if you could send us your opinions and requests from the in-game "support" even after the release.

In this project message, from the opinions from everyone about the "rhythm game" and "virtual live" that could be played with the trial version application, it was newly decided to respond until the release, and the development has already been completed. I would like to pick up and tell you what was originally planned to be included.
In addition, since some people have newly followed Project Sekai as a result of the trial version application, some information that has already been announced is included. note that.
In addition, we will consider responding to opinions and requests that were not reflected in the release version in future updates as needed.

Judgment and life balance​

The most common opinions and requests in the trial version app were improvements to "severity of judgment" and "severity of how to reduce life".
Judgment and life balance were gradually relaxed after two closed beta tests, but after playing with more people with this trial version app, it was judged that there was still room for improvement, and the following adjustments were made. I decided to add.

It will be easier to get a 25% PERFECT judgment for Tap Notes (since there is no change in the number of GREAT judgment frames, it will be easier to connect combos).​

The judgment of tap notes in the trial version seems to be a little too strict in all skill bands from beginners to super advanced players. By adding this new change, it will lead to a better play feeling not only for beginners who are aiming to clear first, but also for super advanced players who are aiming to take "AP (ALL PERFECT)" with high difficulty. I think.

Life loss when MISS is reduced by 20%.​

It seems that beginners to intermediate players who play the NORMAL / HARD belt felt particularly severe about life balance. At the time of release, even if the existence of members with "stronger recovery skills" and the ability to organize recovery-based units are taken into consideration, the life balance will be further improved to "make it easier for beginners to intermediate players to aim for clearing". I decided that it was okay to arrange it.

The final note judgment for long slide notes is relaxed.​

Many people seemed to find it difficult to grasp when to release their fingers at the end of the long slide notes. I thought that having to take my finger off with excessive awareness of the timing would hurt the exhilaration of play, so I decided to relax the judgment range of both PERFECT and GREAT.

Operational performance is improved.​

We believe that this improvement in operational performance will have various positive effects on gameplay, but we believe that the problem of not being able to properly determine flicks due to the decrease in frame rate will be solved to a certain extent. Especially those who have been playing with the recommended terminal line such as iPhone 8 will feel more comfortable than before. However, I think there is still room for improvement in operational performance. We will continue to make improvements so that more people can enjoy Project Sekai comfortably.

The above changes will be mainly added, but we will keep an eye on the judgment and life balance even after the release, and make appropriate adjustments as necessary.

Other changes to rhythm games​

More songs will be recorded in the official release version! (This includes songs by virtual singers other than Hatsune Miku and Piapro Characters.) For details , please see the official website .​

You will be able to select "Show / Hide Skills" as an option so that you can concentrate more on playing.​

The "Tap to adjust function" of the optional "Timing adjustment" will now respond when you touch your finger instead of when you release it.​

　

Virtual live​

You will be able to coordinate your avatar freely!​

Various costumes and accessories such as happi coats for each unit are prepared in the virtual shop, and will be added in the future.

* Some avatar costumes and accessories can only be exchanged for paid crystals.

You will be able to exchange various actions in the virtual shop, backflip during live performances, and draw hearts with psyllium.​

Unique items created from the images of each character will be added to the virtual items for "all 26 people"!​

Tap another player in the waiting room to view your profile. You can also set up a Twitter account "arbitrarily" in your profile, and you will be able to connect with players you have become friends with through virtual live via SNS.​

You will be able to temporarily hide the UI during the live.​

The character production that appears on the screen during action times such as jump time is very modest so that you do not "get lost" in the best scene.​

The performance of the opera glasses has improved a little. You will be able to zoom farther.​

At the time of action time such as jump time, you can select whether to take action automatically from the options.​

As an option, you can switch ON / OFF of the viewpoint movement with the gyro.​

You can optionally choose to show / hide virtual items, stamps and names of other players.​

　　

in conclusion​

What did you think.
As mentioned at the beginning of this message, we will continue to consider how to respond to opinions and requests that were not included at the time of release in future updates.
For example, "a function that allows you to retry on the spot when your life reaches 0" and "a function that mutes users who repeat annoying acts in virtual live", which were often requested in the trial version application, are urgently available. We would like to develop it and update it as soon as possible.

It's almost time for the release date of 9/30.
In the release version, we have prepared a lot of functions and contents other than "rhythm game" and "virtual live" for everyone to enjoy.
We hope you will enjoy playing with us and send us your opinions from "Support".

Then, thank you for your continued support of "Project Sekai".

There is no maximum possession limit for "Gacha Seal Tickets" and "Limited Gacha Seal Tickets".

• How do I use the gacha seal ticket?​

  Gacha seal tickets can be used from [Menu]> [Exchange]> [Gacha seal exchange]. "Gacha seal ticket" can be used for member exchange other than limited and carafes limited. The "Limited Gacha Seal Ticket" can be used to exchange Gacha exchanges that include members limited to limited time and Karafes. In addition, you can use a total of 10 gacha seal tickets or limited gacha seal tickets for each exchangeable member of the gacha seal exchange.

• The app was forcibly terminated when the gacha was executed, and only the crystal disappeared.​

  If the game is forcibly terminated after the gacha is executed, or if the line is disconnected and the gacha result screen is not displayed normally, the members acquired by the gacha will be sent to the "member list" or "waiting room". If you cannot confirm the gacha result due to forced termination etc., tap "Entry procedure" from "Member sorting" in "Member list" or "Waiting room" and check if there are any newly acquired members. If the problem persists after checking the above, please contact us from [Menu]-> [Support].

• Please tell me the members and appearance rate that appear in the gacha.​

  You can check it from [Gacha]> [Provision Ratio].

• You cannot draw a gacha limited to once a day.​

  A paid crystal is required to use it. You can check the number of paid crystals you have from [Menu]-> [Purchase Information] or [Menu]-> [Crystal Shop]. If you purchase a colorful pass, the number of gachas per day will increase to 2 times, but you will need a paid crystal for the number of times you use the gacha.

• What is a gacha seal?​

  You can get it when you draw a specific gacha or exchange it with a "Gacha Seal Exchange Ticket (10)". Once you have collected the required number of cards, you can exchange them for the target member or "Gacha Sticker Exchange Ticket (10 cards)" from [Menu]> [Exchange]> [Gacha Seal Exchange]. In addition, some gachas may not be able to obtain gacha stickers. For details, please check the notice and [Gacha]> [Provision ratio]-> [Gacha explanation].

• The gacha seal I had is gone.​

  Gacha seals have a replacement deadline. After the exchange deadline, it will be converted into the same number of pieces and sent to the present. Please note that you cannot exchange your favorite pieces for Gacha Seals. For the exchange deadline, please check the notice and "Gacha explanation" in [Gacha]> [Provision ratio].

• What is a gacha bonus?​

  It is a bonus that you can collect every time you draw a gacha. It is applied except for some gachas such as limited time and limited to Karafes. The amount of increase in the gacha bonus that can be accumulated per gacha is as follows. ・ Consume free crystals: 0.5 increase ・ Consume paid crystals: 1 increase ・ Consume free crystals and paid crystals combined: 0.5 increase When a certain amount of gacha bonus is accumulated, ★ 4 members will definitely appear from gacha as a reward increase. In addition, the gacha bonus will be reset when 100 is accumulated and can be accumulated again from 0. If you accumulate 100 or more, the gacha bonus over 100 will be carried over. Gacha bonuses cannot be transferred to different gachas. You can check the gacha bonus on the screen of the target gacha.

• What is a gacha ticket?​

  A gacha ticket is an item that allows you to draw a gacha instead of a crystal. You can draw one gacha with one gacha ticket. If you have a gacha ticket, it will be consumed in preference to free crystals. However, it cannot be used for gachas that can only be drawn with paid crystals. * You can check the number of gacha tickets you have only on the gacha screen. In addition, in the gacha that is the target of the gacha bonus, the amount of increase in the gacha bonus that accumulates per gacha drawn by consuming the gacha ticket will be +0.5, as with the free crystal.

FIVE LIST

Top 5 Hobbies for a Kawaii Lifestyle – Kawaii Fridays!​

by Lunaria L Moon January 11, 2019

Ciao lovelies! Today here’s 5 “Kawaii Lifestyle” Hobbies!

Now before I begin, I want to say that these hobbies are NOT the only hobbies that can be included in a “Kawaii Lifestyle”! You could do anything for hobbies and still lead a kawaii life. These are just some hobbies that may be considered “Kawaii” traditionally/stereotypically.
So now, let’s get into this super cute hobby list!
#1- Toy Collecting! Many Kawaii Lifestylers that I know of, myself included, collect toys! Some collect vintage toys, some collect modern and some collect both! Toy collecting can be very fun for many reasons. For one, if you have a more childish nature/if you’re an age regressor, you can play with the toys! For two, your toy collection can make great kawaii décor! Toys come in all shapes and colors and sizes, so you can carefully select what you want to display! Some Kawaii toys to collect that I recommend: Num-Noms!
As well as: Calico Critters (also known as Sylvanian Families), Shopkins Lil Secrets (Which are a lot like old school Polly Pockets), Squishies, Molang figures, Monster High Minis….ect!
And going right along with toy collecting is…
#2- Toy Photography / Doll Photography! Another super fun and “kawaii” hobby is toy photography! Toys and dolls can be easier photo subjects (sometimes) than humans in my opinion because you can pose them exactly how you imagine, and you can take many shots while they hold the same pose! There are many highly poseable kawaii dolls like Monster High, Ever After High, Made-To-Move Barbie, and even BJD!
#3- Crafting/DIY! A big part of Kawaii subculture which isn’t really talked about enough in my opinion is the amount of crafty kawaii lifestylers! I’ve seen so many crafty kawaii lifestylers who make their own clothes, jewelry, accessories, décor… but yet I don’t see much discussion about it, and it can be hard to find good craft tutorials online for that specific niche! But crafty-ness is a big part of kawaii culture! I’ve even recently discovered a good place to get some kawaii stickers and beads for cute resin and jewelry projects, Blippo.com ! Blippo has many very kawaii items for pretty cheaply, just the other night I ordered a BUNCH of stuff for under $12 and free shipping, as well as a free mystery welcome gift! (my full review of Blippo is coming soonish, my orders are still in post). Another great place to find kawaii craft supplies is Aliexpress using search terms like “Kawaii Cabochon” and others like that. Just remember that Aliexpress is similar to Amazon/Ebay and you should always check the reviews before buying anything! (Note- this post was not sponsored by either of these sites, this is just my own opinion).
#4- Baking! Baking can be so much fun, and you don’t even need to make things from scratch to have a good time! Want to know a secret? Some of the best cakes I’ve ever made were with a modified box mix! One of my best tips is: “To make a boxed cake mix really amazing, follow the directions on the box EXCEPT: add 1 more egg than what it calls for, instead of using oil use melted butter (and double the amount), instead of water use milk!” This tip I found on Pinterest, and I’ve used it several times to make some of the best cakes and cupcakes I’ve ever made! ….So I bet you’re wondering how this hobby is particularly “kawaii”? Well, the decorating of course! Decorating cakes, cupcakes, cookies and more is one of the best parts of baking! You can make the baked good as kawaii as you want!
#5- Journaling! I know I mentioned this briefly in Wednesday’s post, but let’s talk quickly about how to make this kawaii.

Everything You Want to Know About “Kawaii” Culture- Kawaii Fridays​

by Lunaria L Moon June 01, 2018
Ciao lovelies, Lunaria here! Today for Kawaii Friday I though I’d make a comprehensive post detailing all you could ever want to know about “kawaii culture”; where it came from, naming some fashions within it (I’ll do more detailed posts on each fashion later), giving some resources on good places to begin reading more/ youtubers to follow/bloggers/Instagrammers, and even telling some about my own personal experiences with kawaii culture.

Personal Experience with Kawaii Culture​

As you may have noticed, myself and OFT are highly influenced by Kawaii Culture. Personally, I’ve been into kawaii culture since I was about 13 and a friend told me about Anime, Vocaloids, and the word “Kawaii.” Later I, thanks to the internet, discovered fashions like EGL, Decora, Hime Gyaru, Fairy Kei, and many others. My lifestyle and fashion style were heavily influenced by all these fashions and kawaii culture in general, and reflect these influences.
But enough about me, let’s talk about how it all started!

History of Kawaii​

Etymology speaking, the word “Kawaii” is believed to have come from the word “Kawayushi,” a word dating back to the Taisho era (1912-1926) meaning loveable, shy, and small.
A big influence on what is seen as “Kawaii” dates back to the first shoji and kawaii illustrator, Yumeji Takehisa, in 1914. Takehisa merged Eastern and Western art styles in his Chiyogami (flat woodblock print patterns on paper) and used the word “kawaii” to describe them. He was one of the first to use wide, round eyes in his works.
Another big influence on “kawaii” was shojo manga. Shojo Manga (Illustrated stories of a girlish nature), was said to begin with illustrator Katsuji Matsumoto, with the first Shojo manga girl being Kurukuru Kurumi-chan. She had big round eyes and a soft round face. (as seen in the pictures below). Kurumi-Chan was used as a source of encouragement for Japanese people during WW2.
Moving forward into more modern influences, as shojo manga developed we also saw the rise of Mahou Shojo (magical girl) genre of manga and anime. Characters like Sailor Moon brought forth the idea that kawaii could include flaws, and strong girls, but still maintained the air of childish cuteness.

What are some Fashions that are in the Kawaii Culture?​

Some fashions in the Kawaii Culture include:
-EGL (Elegant Gothic Lolita). This style has evolved over the years to include Sweet, Sailor, Classic, and many other sub-styles, but it’s root was gothic Lolita fashion. Hence where it gets it’s name. For more info, see THIS post.
-Decora. A style dedicated to lots and lots of accessorizing.
-Fairy Kei. Lots of sweet pastels and childish themes.
These are pretty central to the Kawaii culture, of course there are more styles, but I’ll get into that later.

Starting and Building Your Kawaii Wardrobe – Where to Shop, DIY's, and more! - Kawaii Fridays!​

by Lunaria L Moon January 04, 2019
Ciao lovelies! In the spirit of the New Year, I know some of you may have a New Year’s resolution to “Try new things” or “dress in cute fashion”, or something like it! Maybe your New Year’s Resolution is to try out dressing in kawaii inspired fashion! Maybe you already dress in kawaii fashion but are always looking to expand your wardrobe! Well, today’s post can help, because today we are talking about how to start and build a kawaii wardrobe! I’m going to be giving my shopping tips, links to plenty of DIYs, and more that can help you in your kawaii fashion journey! Let’s go!

Today I’ll be talking about general “Kawaii-Inspired” fashion, not one specific style of Kawaii fashion.

Finding Kawaii Inspired Clothing!​

- If you’re on a budget, my recommendation is to shop in Thrift Stores! You can find really cute pastel sweaters at thrift stores, you can find really cute skirts and dresses, and sometimes even really nice handbags! I have found lots of items that work for a general “kawaii-alternative” fashion look in thrift stores! You really never know what you could find there. I’ve found dresses, skirts, sweaters, bags, and blouses all for really good prices, and all worked for kawaii fashion. You can even find cute home décor and sometimes even cute jewelry! Unsure where to start when it comes to thrifting or just want some tips? Check out our top 5 tips for Thrift Shopping!
- Another great place to look for “kawaii-inspired” clothing is Hot Topic or Forever 21! You can find cute overalls/overall dresses, t-shirts, skirts, skater dresses, knee and thigh high socks, and other cute clothing! The only problem with these stores is that they can be somewhat expensive.
- Another option for getting kawaii clothing is to make it yourself! Fabric stores like JoAnn even have patterns you can use if you don’t like drafting your own. And there are plenty of good clothing tutorials online, Yumi King’s channel has many if you search far back in her videos (a good way to do this is to order the videos from “Oldest First”).
- If making clothes from scratch isn’t your thing, you can always modify clothing to suit your needs! We actually have some clothing modification tutorials, and I will be trying to make more this summer. Our Clothing-Mod tutorials include: Adding Cat Ears to a Hoodie, Shoe Upgrade, DIY Cutsew from a T-shirt, and DIY T-shirt into Tank Top.

Finding Kawaii Inspired Accessories!​

- You can always find kawaii looking accessories in certain shops, you just have to know where to look! Some good stores to look for kawaii accessories in are: Claires, Icing, and Hot Topic! My best advice is to always look through their clearance section! You can find really cute stuff on sale often there.
- Another place to find cute accessories is in the kid’s section of stores. This might seem weird at first, but kid’s necklaces can be altered into cute bracelets, and you can use charms and such from kid’s jewelry to make into earrings, rings, and brooches.
- Another great place to find cute accessories is Etsy! There are lots of stores on Etsy that sell cute handmade accessories! Same with Storenvy. The only downside to searching these places for cute handmade jewelry is the higher prices, but you are supporting small businesses, so I say it’s worth it!
- Lastly, you can also make your own kawaii jewelry! Kawaii charms and other jewelry findings can be bought rather cheaply in lots from Etsy or Aliexpress, and you can make yourself a whole collection of cute accessories! We also have some accessories DIY’s including: How to makeyour own Choker, Chokers level 2, How to make a bag from a dishtowel, … (To see all our DIY’s, check out our DIY tag!)
Starting and building a kawaii themed wardrobe isn’t hard and doesn’t have to cost a lot if you just know where to look and use a little ingenuity! Happy New Year, and I wish you the best of luck in all your kawaii clothing endeavors this year!

Kawaii AND Goth/Alternative Styles? – Kawaii Fridays!​

by Lunaria L Moon October 05, 2018
Ciao lovelies! Today for the first Kawaii Friday in the month of October, we’re talking about….”Kawaii And Goth/Alternatively Styled?”! In other words, can you be BOTH Kawaii AND Goth/Alternatively Styled? (WARNING- This post contains some mature themes like self-harm and suicide (because we talk about Menhera fashion), these themes are only briefly mentioned and never shown, but I thought I should include a warning.)
Now, if you’ve seen my YouTube video on the subject you know my answer is wholeheartedly YES, you can be both Kawaii and Goth. (If you didn't see that video, please watch it first!)
But I didn’t quite explain what I meant by Kawaii and Goth/Alternatively Styled.
There can be many definitions and outcomes of mixing Kawaii and Goth/Alternative styles and lifestyles! Today, let’s talk briefly about three: “Pastel Goth,” “Menhera Fashion/Yami Kawaii,” and “Being Goth/Alt/Kawaii with a healthy mix.”
So let’s begin with Pastel Goth!

PASTEL GOTH​

Definition: “[Pastel Goth] is a fashion and aesthetic that originated on Tumblr in late 2010. The fashion entails taking the basic elements of dark goth style and mixing it with pastel colors.”(Source- AestheticWiki – CAUTION -Strong Language used on images in the link, reader discretion advised.)
So what are the basic aesthetic elements of “Pastel Goth”?
Some are:
- Skeletons and bones
- Offensive text/quotes in kawaii fonts/colors
- Dripping things like font made to look like it’s “Dripping”
- Pastel hair (usually but not always)
- Platform shoes
- Garters
- Chokers
- Eyeball bows, horn hair clips
Here is a good reference for Pastel Goth Fashion Anatomy by rabudorimu on Deviant Art.
And more examples of Pastel Goth:
Now let’s move into Menhera Fashion!

MENHERA FASHION​

Defintion: “Menhera fashion focuses a lot on cuteness that had been tainted by sickness. This is reflected by characters that appear cute but may be in very poor health, have obscure interests or have very negative thoughts. The outfits usually consist of over sized top featuring Menhera art or hospital wear. Other traits are; seifuku collar, printed thigh highs, medical accessories, etc” (Source- Alternative Fashion Amino)
Before we go any further, Menhera fashion as a whole is NOT promoting self-harm/mental disorders/illness/suicide. Menhera fashion was created to shine a light on the darker aspects of people’s lives that they don’t really talk about in the kawaii subculture. While some people in the west use Menhera to glorify self-harm/suicide, that is NOT what the fashion was originally about. Please do not use this fashion to glorify self-harm. If you are having self-injury thoughts and or actions, please talk to a professional or call one of the helplines below:
The USA National Suicide Prevention Help Line : 1-800-273-8255
In the UK: Samaritans (Homepage) is a registered charity aimed at providing emotional support to anyone in distress or at risk of suicide throughout the United Kingdom. They provide a 24/7, toll-free crisis line, as well as local branches. Samaritans Helpline can be reached at 116 123.
In Australia: Lifeline (Lifeline Australia - 13 11 14 - Crisis Support. Suicide Prevention.) is a 24-hour nationwide service that provides access to crisis support, suicide prevention and mental health support services. It can be reached at 13 11 14.
For other countries please see this link (CLICK ME) to find your local helpline/emergency number. You are never alone.
I will not go further into Menhera fashion at risk of triggering anyone (as some aspects of this fashion get pretty dark.) If you’d like to learn more about this fashion/subculture, see the links below:
FyMenhera Tumblr About Page
TokyoTreat’s Article about YamiKawaii (another name forMenhera)
Lastly, let’s talk about having a healthy mix of both kawaii and alternative fashions in your life!

A HEALTHY MIX​

As with anything in life, a healthy balance/mix I feel is important. And for some people, that means mixing various fashion styles in their life.
For me, in my closet I have things that are EGL, Kawaii, Goth, Casual, etc. And I love to mix and match! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with mixing and matching fashion styles, especially because to me, fashion is an art, and art is all about expressing yourself!
As I mentioned in my video, I feel like too much “gate-keeping” happens within fashion communities. People are afraid to try new fashions for fear of ridicule by the more experienced in a fashion. People are afraid to be both Kawaii and Goth, or Goth and Kawaii, whichever way you have it. And that’s terrible! We just can’t live life being afraid to try new things for fear of ridicule.
So this post is to say that you CAN be whatever you want, whether that’s Kawaii and Goth, or Steampunk and Menhera, or Punk and Emo, or anything you want to be! That’s the fun of fashion!
So remember lovelies, you can be whatever you want. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Shopping/Thrifting for Kawaii Items In “Normie” Stores Part 1- Kawaii Friday​

by Lunaria L Moon May 25, 2018

Ciao lovelies! So today I’m assigning another day of our week! We have Royals Lessons on Wednesday and now…Kawaii Fridays! Where I post about all things kawaii! DIY’s, shopping guides, faves from different shops, talking about various kawaii substyles, photoshoots, and more! Today’s Kawaii Friday post is about finding kawaii things in normal shops and thrift shops! Buying kawaii things can be totally expensive, so finding items in normal stores or thrift stores can really take down the cost!

For today’s post, I went to a Goodwill Thrift store and a Walmart to find kawaii items to show you all! Some are clothing, some are toys, some are even bath products! I will explain each item and do my best to explain how it can be used in a kawaii lifestyle!! (Please note this is not a haul post!)
First up, from Goodwill I saw:
- A cute Minnie Mouse Shirt! I thought this shirt would be cute with a simple red or black skirt and maybe white knee high socks and black shoes! Maybe a black or red headbow to finish it off?
-This blue skirt had an interesting pattern and I had to wonder if it could be used potentially for Fairy-Kei ?
-This flowery layered skirt reminded me of Mori-Kei and looked very kawaii to me!
- I thought this Hello Kitty messenger bag was just so cute!
- These bow front heels were so cute to me. I thought they could be used maybe for Party-Kei or Hime Gyaru looks?
- These black Mary Jane heels were so cute! I wanted to get them, but they didn't fit me.
-I loved this geometric fox! I've seen similar designs at Target for higher prices, so seeing it at Goodwill was cool!
-I love foxes, so I thought this little fox vase was super cute.
-Lastly, was actually the first thing I noticed, this Pikachu cake pan! For making cute little Pikachu cakes!
Next, at Walmart, I spotted these finds:
These are less "Budget-y" (though I do have a more budget find below!). These are more so to show that you can find kawaii lifestyle items in normal stores too!
-So I saw some of these NumNoms plushies, I just think the packaging and such is soo cute.
-I saw this most ADORABLE unicorn squishy!! He is so so so cute.
-I also saw these cotton candy scented bathbombs! What scent is more kawaii than cotton candy? (Speaking of which, what's your fave scent? Leave a comment with your fave scent!)
-I saw more Shibajuku Girls dolls, if you remember we reviewed Yoko HERE. They only had Suki at the Walmart we were at.
-I saw this cute looking Icing Slime with sprinkles! It does freak me out that it looks so much like food, though.
-I saw this super cute unicorn waterbottle! Sure its "for kids" but don't let that stop you! Who said kids are the only ones who get the cute stuff?
-I saw this holographic shiny unicorn piggy bank! It's so magically cute!
-I also saw this owl mug! Owl designs are also really kawaii.
Then, I saw on sale:
Cat ears!!! They had such cute pairs of cat ears and each pair was only $2, I regret not buying any but I have to be careful with my funds until I get another job.
Thanks for reading! What do you think of the idea of making Fridays into "Kawaii Fridays"? Do you like it, dislike it? Let me know!
Oh, and DISCLAIMER- this post was not sponsored.

FIVE LIST

5 Kawaii Last Minute Gift Ideas - Kawaii Fridays!​

by Lunaria L Moon December 21, 2018
Ciao lovelies! Christmas is on Tuesday, and for those of us who celebrate it, most of our Christmas shopping is done, but if you’re stressing because you didn’t find that perfect kawaii gift for your loved one, never fear! Today I’ve got 5 last minute kawaii gift ideas for you!

These gifts range from DIY to Buy, but I’m sure your recipient would be happy to get them no matter what!
#1- Kawaii Art!
Making someone a one of a kind art piece is a great gift, and you can make a super kawaii gift out of it! This may seem like a daunting challenge at first, but painting a kawaii piece isn’t actually that hard! We have tutorials on three different kawaii paintings! (CLICK ME!)
#2- A Kawaii Mystery Box!
Putting together a Kawaii mystery box for your loved one is also a great idea! Basically you get a box and fill it with a bunch of surprises! You can wrap each surprise inside the box for extra fun!
If you don’t want to buy all the surprises, you can always hand-make a bunch of gifts and add them to the box!
#3- Kawaii Jewelry!
Making (or buying) your recipient some kawaii jewelry is a good option! If you can’t find anything that strikes you as “kawaii” then maybe buy some beads and make your own! Some cute themes for jewelry are things like: pastels, cotton candy, pink and purple…. You can even base the color scheme off their favorite Pokémon or Anime Character.
#4- A Teacup / Teapot!
You can find these in thrift stores and if you don’t like the pattern on it, you can repaint one yourself! Maybe you could even go to a painting-pottery store and make a custom set for your loved one!
#5- A Mix CD with their favorite Kawaii songs!
Making a CD full of their favorite songs is sure to be a hit, especially if they have a car with a CD player or a computer, as they can offload the songs from the CD into like iTunes! You can even put the CD in a decorated case !
Thanks for reading! Happy Holidays!

DIY Kawaii: Accessories!​

by Lunaria L Moon June 11, 2017

Ciao lovelies! Today, we're revamping an old series and bringing you some cute DIY kawaii accessories.

Kawaii is Japanese for cute, and is actually a whole subculture!

Today, we're bringing back THIS and THIS post(s)! I figured, instead of Princess household items, and accessories DIYs, we could make Kawaii DIY's! I plan on making a post for accessories (this post), school supplies, and household items- maybe more than one each!

So, let's make some kawaii accessories together!

To start, you'll need some bases. I'm using a couple different types of clips, hair ties, and safety pins!


You'll also need the desired decorations!


For the first project, we'll be making a simple flower hair clip!
To do this, you need a clip like the one shown below, then hot glue fake flowers to it! Super simple!


For the second project, we will be making a kawaii rainbow charm bow. For this, you'll need a rectangle of purple (or your color choice) craft foam. Fold it accordion style as shown below, then cut a long skinny rectangle of foam. Wrap this around the middle of the accordion shape and glue in place.

Then add a alligator clip and charm and your kawaii bow is done!


For the third project, we'll be making a some basic bows even cuter in less than a minute- by adding cute charms with hot glue!


For the fourth project, we'll be making a kawaii cat face hair clip in just two steps!
Step one- Draw kawaii cat face on a bead with a sharpie.
Step two- glue kawaii cat face to hairclip!
So kawaii!

For the fifth project, we'll be making another SUPER easy one- a bow hairtie! I'm sure you can guess how we will do this. Tie a ribbon in a knot around a hair tie. Then tie a bow!


For the sixth project, we will be making something a little harder. We will be making a kawaii letters alligator clip.
Clip your clip onto some foam, and glue on a ruffly ribbon! Then glue on another ribbon. Then glue on letter beads of your choice. I spelled out "Kawaii" since it's the theme of this DIY list!


For the last project we're making a ocean brooch! Brooches are actually very easy to make if you have safety pins! You'll need some craft foam, a safety pin, and decorations of your choice.
Start by cutting a circle and a small rectangle. Glue the safety pin on as shown below, then flip it over. Glue on your desired decor and you're done!


These projects, while super simple, are fun to make and you can make a lot in an afternoon!


Tune in next time (coming soon) where we will make a huge set of kawaii school supplies!

You can get daily updates if you follow us on Facebook, Bloglovin, or even our official Instagram!

Thanks for reading! See you in our next post!
Stay lovely!

Kawaii on a Budget? Blippo Kawaii Shop 9 Item Review – Kawaii Fridays!​

by Lunaria L Moon February 01, 2019
Ciao lovelies! Today for Kawaii Friday I have a very extensive review post for you all! If you were ever thinking of buying from Blippo Kawaii shop and weren’t sure about it, this is the post for you! Today I’ll be reviewing not only the shop itself but 9 unique items from it, including 3 sets of stickers, a stationary set, a bead set, a mini-bag, a pill box, rings, and socks! So, if you love kawaii stuff, deals, and reviews, stick around!

INTRODUCTION​

The main reason I found Blippo Kawaii shop was pretty simple- I wanted to find a place to buy kawaii stationary and other goods that wasn’t ridiculously expensive. If you love kawaii stuff you might know that it’s hard to find kawaii items that aren’t expensive. I usually turn to Aliexpress for things like this, but I wanted to find a place where I could get everything from one shop, and it would all come in one package. So first, I’ll review each item that I got, and then I will review the overall shop. Let’s get into the reviews!

SWEET BUNNY AND BEAR SPARKLE STICKERS​

These are totally adorable, and BONUS- They’re candy scented! These stickers have a sparkly backing and they’re 3-D with tiny beads inside. On two of the designs, there is a rhinestone heart. The designs feature various kawaii animals and have various shapes. My favorite design is the Merry-Go-Round (Carousel).

The price of these stickers was $1.33 (on sale) and I DEFINTELY think they were worth it. Overall: I rate these stickers on aesthetic and scent and overall cuteness: 5/5!

KAWAII HARAJUKU RING SET​

These are cute but not really the highest quality. The rings are super tiny and don’t even fit on my pinky, they definitely would work better for children, but then I would worry about a choking hazard. I think I will just use the charms off the rings for deco-den or other crafts. I think the charms by themselves in terms of Blippo’s stock are worth it because you can’t buy a set of 10 charms for any cheaper than this ring set’s price of $1 (as of 1/31/19). I wasn’t really impressed with this item, overall. The quality seems very cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for, and at least the charms are cute.
Overall I rate these rings – 3/5!

CUTE ANIMAL PILL CASE​

This is so adorable, I can’t get over how super cute this little animal pill case is. This pill case was $1.65 and I believe that it is well worth it. I love the design of it, and it seems like it shuts nice and securely so your pills or other tiny items won’t fall out. I will either use it for a pill box or for maybe storing earrings or other small jewelry? I haven’t decided.
Overall, I really love this item and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. 5/5!

CUTE BEAR STATIONARY SET​

So this set comes with 8 pencils, an eraser, pencil sharpener, and two pencil caps. The design of this set is very cute, the pencils and eraser have a little bunny design on them. I tested the sharpener with one of the pencils and it works well. The pencils also write well, and the eraser works as well. I don’t have much to say about this one other than: I will be using this so much in the future. I really love the design and think this set is so cute and worth the $1.55 I paid for it.
Overall, I think this set is adorable and I would give it a 5/5!

CUTE ANIMAL SOCKS​

These socks are so precious. They feature (what looks like) a hamster in a sailor scout looking outfit! How cute! The heart on the sailor uniform is stitched with some sparkly thread, but when I wore the socks, they didn’t feel scratchy. They were very comfortable and soft. I think that I would absolutely buy these socks again, especially because they were only $1!
Overall, I love these socks and have no complaints- 5/5!

FLOWER DIY BEADS SET​

This set was decent in my opinion, it includes a variety of cute little beads, unfortunately I feel as though most of the beads in this set you could probably find in an American dollar store. But, the price was only $1.75, and they do come in a cute flower case which could be reused. It also came with a small amount of clear elastic cord. But yes, I feel as though the price on sale ($1.75) was accurate as the beads in this set seem cheap. I also would not let a younger child play with this set as the beads could be a choking hazard. (Though I think that holds true for most beading sets!).
Overall, I wasn’t highly impressed with this item, but I think the low price and flower bead holder makes this item worth it. 4/5!

COLORFUL RIBBON PUFFY STICKERS​

What can I say except: I love these! These are so adorable. This sticker sheet features various cute bow designs in puffy sticker form. As far as I can tell, no bow design is repeated so this sheet features a TON of different designs of bows. I want to put these stickers on everything but also want to save them in their package….decisions, decisions.
Overall, I adore these stickers and would buy them again, especially at their list price of $0.90! 5/5!

MINI PINK RIBBON HANDBAG​

When they say mini, they really mean “perfect size for a stuffed animal.” Or “perfect size for an 18 inch tall doll like an American Girl.” This bag is bigger than I thought it would be, for sure. When I bought it, I thought it would be like maybe 3 inches by 3 inches, but it turned out to be like 6 by 6. So I’ll probably use it to hold cute charms and such. I originally bought it for my 17 inch Monster High doll Elissabat, but it is just too big for her. This bag is very cute, with no imperfections that I could spot. It closes with a Velcro strip and has two handles. Only the front is printed. It features a design with bows and the word “sweet.”
Overall I think this is very worth the $1 I paid for it. 5/5!

KAWAII DESSERT STICKERS​

These super cute stickers feature various dessert designs. Designs include but are not limited to: cake rolls, biscuit-cookies, macarons, cotton candy, popsicles….. Each design is very adorable. These stickers were $1.26. I think they were well worth the price.
Overall, I like these stickers and would buy more in the future. 5/5!

OVERALL SHOP REVIEW​

SHIPPING​

When they say “1-3 weeks no tracking” for free shipping to the US, they MEAN 1-3 weeks and absolutely NO tracking. I thought it would come in like 1 or 1 ½ week, but it took almost the full 3 weeks. I also noticed that one of my boxes (I made 2 orders) was bent up upon arrival, but it’s impossible to tell where the damage might’ve occurred.
Each box contained Styrofoam packing peanuts to protect the items, and included a few coupon codes for Kawaii Box and Japan Candy box. I’m not sure if I will use the codes yet or not.

PRICES​

I think this shop is definitely good for fair prices, especially if you shop sales. I bought every item listed here off the sale section, and I bought 9 items. It cost me just under $11. (plus I got free shipping and a free candy gift.) I think most of the prices in the sale section are plenty fair. You just have to know how to find a good deal. You can always check reviews as well to see what people thought of the item before you order it.

SELECTION​

Blippo has a wide variety of items to shop from and they add new items regularly. My only problem is that the sale section doesn’t get update very often so if you’re like me and pretty much exclusively shop sales, you’ll have to wait a while if you want new items to be added. My best advice is that if you want to shop from Blippo regularly, (like if you are buying stationary or charms that you like to stock up on,) make one big order per month and then wait until the next month to look in sales again.

OVERALL THOUGHTS AND RATING​

I think Blippo is a great place to find kawaii items if you’re on a budget, especially if you shop sales. If you’re looking for a gift for a kawaii lover, or just want to treat yourself, Blippo seems like a great option to me! My only complaints are: how long free shipping takes (see above), and the quality of some items. But overall I would rate Blippo Kawaii Shop 4/5!

The Hard Truth Behind “Forced Happiness” in Kawaii Culture- Kawaii Fridays!​

by Lunaria L Moon February 08, 2019
Ciao lovelies and happy Kawaii Friday. Today we’re doing a deep dive into a phenomena in Kawaii Culture that many Kawaii influencers face: Forced Happiness and lack of understanding from fans and content consumers.

First, what is “Forced Happiness”? It’s a term that represents the phenomena where fans of a kawaii influencer expect that person to constantly be happy, upbeat, and positive.
And, for the most part, many kawaii influencers are constantly upbeat, peppy, happy, and generally positive/optimistic. But that’s not feasible to be all the time.
A great deal of influencers in the Kawaii Community deal with their own personal struggles like mental illness, largely in the form of depression and burnout. (If you don’t know what Burnout is, see our post HERE!).
Influencers often face backlash from fans when expressing their less-happy sides. Often they feel as though they must keep up a happy, upbeat persona in order to stay in favor with their fans. They also feel as though they can’t take breaks without providing an explanation, and sometimes even get slammed for just taking a mental health break.
Of course, influencers of ALL kinds experience this, not just Kawaii Influencers. But in the Kawaii community there are underlying pressures to stay happy and stay upbeat and stay positive in order to stay relevant (and yes there are subcultures within the Kawaii Community like Menhera which shine light on the mental health issues in this community. But I’m speaking in general terms about the whole Kawaii Community.)
Something I feel that all people who consume content need to realize is that influencers of all kinds are people too. They aren’t just a face you see on screen, they’re a person with complex emotions and lives.
I’ve heard some say that influencers should expect this kind of treatment because they “signed up for it” when they decided to become an influencer. But I strongly disagree. For many influencers of all kinds, this isn’t their job. It’s just a labor of love. Not only that, but just because someone wants to share their art, their content, their interests with the world should not paint a target on their back for harassment if they take a mental health break.
Something I feel we all must remember is that success does NOT equal guaranteed happiness, and that influencers should be treated with as much kindness and empathy as you would give to anyone.

Thank you for reading, remember to love yourself, stay awesome, and I'll see you in our next post!

Some of My All-Time Favorite Kawaii Apps – Kawaii Fridays!​

by Lunaria L Moon July 06, 2018
Ciao lovelies! Today for Kawaii Friday I have a little list of some of my all-time favorite kawaii apps! From games to Puri-Kura!

Please note that all app links lead to Apple App Store. I am not sponsored or affiliated in any way by any of these apps or by Apple.
Please note that this list is in no particular order, and these are just some of my favorites, not all.

Pastel Girl​

An adorable dress up game app, this app is perfect for creating OC’s, getting outfit inspo (no, seriously), making icons or profile pics, or just playing for fun. In this game you dress up an adorable chibi girl in all sorts of kawaii fashions, all with a pastel theme. And, in the most recent update they included skin color changes and hair color changes! This game is free to play but you can purchase more clothing/hair/accessories packs. But the basics that it comes with without paying are awesome in my opinion!

Kawaii Amino​

What’s better than a community of likeminded people who all love kawaii things? I found out about Kawaii Amino through Yumi King, (one of my fave YouTubers). It was the very first community I ever joined in Amino! The community is very active and fun, and you can post about all things kawaii! This app is free.

PuriKawaii​

This app I just got recently and I totally love it. It’s a photo-decorating (also known as Purikura) app where you can add cute stickers and frames to your pictures! I like using it to make my photos much more cute. This app is free.

Snow​

This app is basically kawaii Snapchat, but I only use it for the filters. Snow has tons of cute face filters like cat ears, sunglasses, cat whiskers, bunny ears, flower crowns, and more. I like to use this app to take silly photos of myself when I am bored. This app is free.
What do you think of these apps? What are some of your favorite kawaii apps? Let us know in the comments below!

If you like what we do here, please follow us on our new Twitter, or our Facebook page, YouTube, or even Bloglovin!

If you haven't heard, we have new Merch! We just released some new designs!

Thanks for reading, I love you all, and I’ll see you in our next post!

Shopping for Kawaii Finds in "Normie" Stores Part 2 - Kawaii Fridays!​

by Lunaria L Moon August 24, 2018
Ciao lovelies! Today’s Kawaii Friday post is about finding kawaii things in normal shops! Buying kawaii things can be totally expensive, so finding items in normal stores can really take down the cost!

For today's post, I went to Target, Walmart, and Shein.com to find cute things for you all!
This is not a haul post, I didn't buy anything! (But I may be buying something from this post and doing a review soon!)
First up, Target!
-First we saw this adorable fox keychain! For the LIFE of me I cannot remember what this was called, I am so so sorry. But I think this little guy would be a cute addition to a purse or backpack!
-Next I saw this Shopkins Lil Secrets Locket. I thought it was SO adorable. They also had a little peach one that I want very badly. If I end up getting one I will have to struggle to decide between this one or the peach one...I will probably go with the one shown because it reminds me of Sailor Moon. Anyway this locket is $4 and has a mini playset inside! It's basically a Polly Pocket.
-Up next is this ADORABLE NumNoms Snackables Silly Shakes item. I have seen some reviews of this item and it seems each layer is different types of slime! That you can find NumNoms in!! So cute!!! Plus the slime containers come out of the main container so you could totally store cute stuff in the main cup container, like cute jewelry!
-Lastly for Target are these so kawaii fox socks! These were only $1.50 and I seriously debated getting them but I decided I needed to save my money. But they are so cute!!!
Now, for Walmart:
-First up I saw these super cute things called Glitzy Clips, which I think would look so cute on a purse or backpack. I was immediately drawn to this little cat with a crown!!
-I also saw the large version of Shopkins Lil Secrets, the big playsets were $10 at Walmart, though I didn't find the small lockets...
-Lastly for Walmart I saw these new Smooshy Mushy Baby bottles. They look super cute and apparently include a large and mini squishy inside! But this was $14 which I thought was a little ridiculous...
Lastly, I went on Shein.com to find some Kawaii Items!
-First up they had a two pack of these cute cat ear headbands! They're on sale currently for only $4!
-Next I found this super cute pair of overall shorts! I love the pink color! These overalls are $18.
-Next up I found this super adorable Angel Wings design backpack! It's $11 currently and though it seems a little small, I think it'd work great as a purse!
-Lastly I found this 4 pack of lace ruffle ankle socks for $9. This set comes with pink, white, beige, and black. I think these would be so cute with a pair of Mary jane heels!
Thank you for reading! Just a disclaimer, none of this is sponsored and I am not currently an affiliate with Shein (though I have applied to be one so that may change soon!) or any of the other stores mentioned.

there was a small village called Kamiki Village, where everyone from the villagers to the animals, lived in peace and happiness. But then one day, the legendary monster Orochi, came back to life and put an evil curse on the entire area. Everything that had a bit of life, disappeared from the face of the earth, and in their place was left a dreadful, barren wasteland.

Orochi's horrid curse spread all across the land, turning it into a veritable hell on earth, infested with countless monsters roaming the earth. But there was one hope. The majestic, wolf-embodied sun god Amaterasu.
One-hundred years ago, Amaterasu used the godly power of the Celestial Brush, to face Orochi. But their battle consumed them both, causing them to disappear from the world, with Amaterasu losing the thirteen Celestial Brush powers in the process.
Now in the present, Amaterasu stumbles upon a mysterious fairy sprite named Issun, and together they set out on an adventure, as Amaterasu aims to regain the 13 powers of the Celestial brush and defeat Orochi once and for all.

Originally released in 2006 for the PlayStation 2, Okami was heralded as one of the finest titles to grace the system. Praised for its beautiful artistry, captivating gameplay, and memorable cast, Okami was for many, the PS2's swan song. Wii and PS3 versions of the title were later released and were also met with critical success, with many reviewers stating that the "Celestial Brush" was a natural fit for motion controls.

Now, Okami finally graces a new generation of consoles on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch. With beautiful, high resolution graphics, Okami HD breathes new life into one of gaming’s timeless classics.

Sakura March Box a Delight
My favorite items from the March box are the milk carton sticky notes and the quill pen designs because as an educator hav to manage my different schedules for my different set of classes. I grew up going to the Sanrio store and buying planners and writing with cute pens! I felt nostalgic in a good way! I liked the card captor tumbler that I will gift to my best friend for their birthday later this month! I’m so happy I got my box delivery early this month and can enjoy the items with the rest of the YT community. The rest of the items I will be rewarding my students with! They loooooove the quality exclusive YT items.

Wonderful box !
Design is wonderful ! I absolutely loved the Sailor Moon figure ! It is a high quality figure and an official one. Delivery was super fast !

I love Yume Twins !
Roseline B.


Very happy
This was a fun box, I am not so familiar with sailor moon so I didn’t really know what to expect. But it was fun to get something I’m less familiar with. I was really happy to get the cinnamorol makeup stand. It has very cute design and will look perfect with my other Sanrio items. The delivery was very fast this time. Overall I was very happy with this box and the products are of good quality and very kawaii.

YumeTwins:

From one woman’s vision to a kawaii revolution!​

Our Story​

Spreading Kawaii Culture All Over the World!​

Tokyo native Ayumi loved sharing snacks with her friends overseas. Then she had an idea - to share Japanese snacks and her culture with the world! In 2015, she started TokyoTreat - a snack mystery box packed full of uniquely Japanese flavors and textures that represented Japan! But that was just the start.

When friends would visit her in Japan, Ayumi learned that cutely designed everyday items just weren’t that easy to find in other countries. Inspired to make kawaii culture available to people all over the globe, she launched a kawaii goods box featuring items often only sold within Japan.
From 2016, we were welcomed into the homes of so many Japanese kawaii culture fans across the world, more than Ayumi could have ever imagined. Now, with a small team of Tokyo-based kawaii experts by her side, her goal is to make everyday life kawaii continues, one YumeTwins box at a time.

Kawaii culture brings a smile to the faces of millions, for many giving them a way to express their identity and find their unique style.
However, these items are not always easy to come across outside of Japan. It’s our goal to make the experience of kawaii culture and discovery of this wonderful subculture not only easier to access, but also incredibly fun!”

Ayumi Chikamoto

Our Commitment​

With us - you’ll never miss out on the kawaii culture experience!​

From the very start, our subscribers and the wonderful support they give us has been a major source of inspiration to us. We will continue to provide this experience for as long as there are people who want to venture into the world of kawaii culture!

The YumeTwins team will give you exclusive access to Japan’s best kawaii finds from top brands like Sailor Moon, Sanrio, Pokemon, Sumikko Gurashi and more, as well as original collabs you won’t find anywhere else!

Behind The Scenes​

We love making every day kawaii!​

Our YumeTwins curation, design and marketing teams put all their heart into your YumeTwins box!

We carefully pick out a selection of plushies, homegoods, and more, create your kawaii culture guide, and share Japan with you through blogs and social media. Won’t you come on a kawaii adventure with us?

History of Kawaii​

See how the kawaii world that we know and love today come about.

Kawaii Timeline​

1960's

How ‘Kawaii’ Got its Start​

In the 1960’s, just like today, young trendsetters led the way. Japanese high schoolers started creating individual & artistic handwriting styles to show off their personalities at school. This was their way to prove to older generations that they were unique.

1970's

Evolution of Kawaii​

Clothing brands began experimenting with cute, colorful styles to help people to try new playful designs to match with their personalities.

• Sanrio, originally a sandal making company, began to make cuter character-oriented goods.
• Hello Kitty, the unofficial mascot of kawaii, made her first debut on a coin purse in 1975.

1990's

Kawaii, it’s What the People Want!​

The 1990s was when big brands realized that cuteness is what the people wanted! Media giants, toy companies, and even airlines boosted their appeal with kawaii mascots and the cutest ‘must-have’ characters!

• The release of ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ introduced the world to Studio Ghibli’s world of magic.
• Pokemon, was released in 1996 by Nintendo pitched by Satoshi Tajiri with an idea for Pocket Monsters

2000's

Step into Kawaii​

What’s more inviting than a kawaii reality you can step into and enjoy firsthand? Shareable experiences dedicated to the love of everything kawaii, like stage productions & museums, brought beloved characters & stories to life!

• Ghibli Museum, is opened in Tokyo, bringing Studio Ghibli movies to life.
• Sanrio Puroland, an indoor Mecca of kawaii goodness, welcomes record number of visitors year on year.
• Sailor Moon, musical stage productions renew interest in the beloved series.

2010s +

The Kawaii World is Your Canvas​

The story behind the world’s best loved kawaii brands, characters, and trends is all about people like you! Living a kawaii life is all about expressing your personality creatively through what brings you joy!

• Not only pink, kawaii fashion runs the color spectrum and is defined by adding a personal touch to clothes.
• Instagram feeds are full of inspiration! Kawaii-lovers share their fun spaces filled with their favorite merch!
• From stationery decorated with adorable stickers, to snacking on cute desserts, it's about making everyday kawaii!
• YumeTwins was invented to support fans of kawaii with curated boxes of Japan's newest kawaii finds!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›YumeTwins Member Spotlight #3

YumeTwins Member Spotlight #3​

By James

September 20, 2021

Hey YumeTwins Fam!​

Today marks our third Member Spotlight feature! We’ll be shining a light on unique members of our community going forward, so please stay tuned and join in the fun!​

Name: Leandra Campbell
Age: 25
From: Maryland, USA
Favorite Kawaii Character: Aggretsuko
Favorite Video Game: Kingdom Hearts or Pokemon
Favorite Anime: Cardcaptor Sakura
1) How did you first discover kawaii culture?
Probably around the time I discovered anime when I was 13/14. A lot of it bled into each other so I started looking at things like the phone charms and merchandise.
2) How did you first hear about YumeTwins?
December of 2019. I think an ad popped up on my webpage and they were advertising the Pokemon Parade and the Pokemon luggage tag and since I was going to be traveling over that Winter break, I had an immediate need for one.
3) What made you decide to join our community?
My last experience with a subscription box wasn’t that great. Their website interface was basic with no way of doing much other than choosing your shirt size and they didn’t even tell you when you paid because when I cancelled, they didn’t even tell me until after that my card was going to be charged since I apparently cancelled after they charged me. With YumeTwins, everything was laid out: when I paid, what my plan was, items coming in the box, this is where you can ask questions, this is where you can cancel your plan. Plus there were things in this box I actually enjoyed getting.
4) How do you usually enjoy the items in your box? Are you a collector, do you share with friends and family, etc?
A lot of the stationery items I use. I’ve finished school but am working as a freelance Stage Manager and a lot of the stuff ended up in my SM Kit. When I’ve gotten doubles I’ve shared it with my niece if it was Sanrio and a few of the things ended up as gifts to my friends for Christmas. A lot of the stuff is so useful like dishware that was a godsend when I moved and containers that make organizing easy.
5) What was your favorite YumeTwins box so far?
Probably the Ghibli boxes from 2020. I love Ghibli films so it was so nice to get stuff from different movies.
6) What is your favorite item from a YumeTwins box?
Hard question. I love the clear files I’ve gotten, they make it so easy when going for interviews and my resume isn’t squished. But I also love the lunchbox and different food containers.
7) What is your favorite thing about YumeTwins?
How obvious they care. It’s so easy to ask a question, sometimes even in the comments of social media and get an answer. Also the community it’s created. Seeing the reposted pictures of all the other subscribers enjoying their box in so many different ways is amazing. Not to mention, you can learn different things from them, like one of the people reuse their YumeTwin boxes and make them into shelves. I would have never thought of that!
8) What is a future theme you’d like to see us create?
Magical Girl. I missed out on Sailor Moon items when I had to stop for a little while and I feel like only bonus buyers get the Cardcaptor stuff, so it’d be cool to have a whole box dedicated to Magical Girls.
9) What kawaii items would you like to see more of in the future?
Stationery and universal tech items (that can safely ship).
10) What is your favorite part of Japanese culture besides kawaii culture?
I love the fashion, so many styles. Also, the fact that there’s a cafe for everything.
11) Have you ever been to Japan? If so, what was the best part of your trip? If not, what would you like to do the most if you plan on visiting?
I haven’t been to Japan (yet) but I really want to try on a proper kimono. My cousin had gotten me one when I was a kid, but the design wasn’t very cute, so I’d like to have a choice this time. I’d also love to go down to Akihabara and check out the gachapon machines.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›A New YumeTwins: Letter from Founder Ayumi Chikamoto

A New YumeTwins: Letter from Founder Ayumi Chikamoto​

By Ayumi Chikamoto

September 30, 2021

Hi there, I’m Ayumi, the founder of YumeTwins. I also founded its sister brands TokyoTreat, Sakuraco, and nomakenolife. I’d like to start by saying thank you for being here, whether you’re one of our wonderful YumeTwins subscribers, part of our community, or if you’re here for the first time. We can’t express how much we appreciate you.​

Since 2016, my team and I have been lucky enough to share Japanese kawaii goods and kawaii culture with the world. In Japan, sometimes we take this culture for granted. Whenever I would send care packages to my friends overseas, many would request Japanese plushies and unique items that I didn’t realize were rare overseas.
Thinking that there were many others who also wanted to own this little bit of Japan, and wanting to share kawaii culture with the world were my two big motivations for founding YumeTwins after the success of her sister brand, TokyoTreat. Our mission has always been clear: to spread the joy of authentic kawaii culture to everyone, everywhere around the world.
Over the last 5 years we’ve loved sharing our favorite kawaii goods with our family and fostering our wonderful community. We’ve also been learning more about you. Our large-scale survey last spring led to multiple group discussions where we met each other face to face. We were able to discover your stories and listen to your feedback. Your comments and opinions really do matter to us, and help us to grow so much. So from October 1st 2021, we’ll be refreshing and renewing YumeTwins, bringing you a whole new Japanese kawaii experience.

A Look at What’s New​

The most noticeable change to your YumeTwins experience are the items that you’ll be getting in every YumeTwins box. We’ve refocused our curation process to be more in tune with our community’s needs.
From here on out, we’ll be featuring 5-7 items with a greater focus on variety and quality. Expect stationery, household & lifestyle goods like kitchenware or blankets, and more character items from brands like Sailor Moon & Cardcaptor Sakura that you’ve been asking for.

YumeTwins Originals:​

One of our most exciting introductions are the YumeTwins Originals that we’ll be introducing periodically into your boxes. Created and designed by our in-house kawaii experts who take inspirations from the pop culture that surrounds us, look forward to YumeTwins originals such as plushies, electronics and more.

Our first Original comes in November 2021’s Magical Level-Up box, the Magical Nyan Nyan Plushie, designed with YumeTwins motifs like hearts and stars to commemorate the launch of our rebranded box.

YumeTwins Exclusives:​

We’ve been hard a work creating partnerships with both well-known and loved brands, as well as up-and-coming kawaii brands to bring you exclusive collab items. Keep an eye out for future boxes featuring exclusive anime and Sanrio goods you can only find through us.
November 2021 will see the latest addition to our exclusive item roster – the Cardcaptor Sakura Blanket.

Licensed Character Boxes:​

One of my favorite boxes to curate are the boxes where we feature a single brand, character, or series. For example, the YumeTwins June 2021 Ghibli Lunch Date box. There is a unique challenge to these boxes, finding items that truly blend and mesh well. But the final result always leaves me filled with pride. Seeing the reactions of fans from those series brings me true joy. Look forward to more boxes like this moving forward.

New Box Design:​

Beyond just the items, we’ve looked at how we can improve your experience in other ways. Starting with your box itself, we’ve redesigned it from scratch, removing wasted space so that we can pass the savings on to you. In addition, certain boxes will have limited edition designs that you can easily collect and enjoy for a long time.

Culture Guide:​

As a way to enrich your experience and further your connection to Japan’s kawaii culture, we’ll be including a 16+ Page Kawaii Culture Guide into your box. Written by our Tokyo based team, we’ll be sharing How-To’s, contests and interesting articles about the latest kawaii trends.

Website:​

Our website has been given a full makeover too, featuring new and improved background information on Japan’s kawaii culture and highlighting members of our community, who are at the heart of our service. See further information on your box items as well, and enjoy regularly updated blog content.

Improvements Born Through Challenge​

You might be asking ‘why did you decide to update YumeTwins?’, especially when we have been operating for 5 years. Our inspiration actually came from an unlikely place – the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2021.
During the height of COVID, we were forced to adapt to new situations every day. As a small company, when something unexpected happens it can have a massive impact on how the structure you worked so hard to create continues to operate. Shipping became a major challenge for us, and at times we didn’t think that we’d be able to recover.
But, knowing during those difficult times that YumeTwins was able to bring a little bit of happiness and connection to Japan when life was disrupted for many people meant that giving up was not an option.
We got creative with how we ship and deliver our boxes, eventually partnering with a high speed delivery service to deliver your boxes no matter what. However, that opened a new challenge – how efficiently are we using the space in your YumeTwins box? This led us to our next big and creative idea.
Simply by optimizing the size of your box and how we pack, we found a way to pass the savings on to you, by upgrading the items you receive in your YumeTwins box.
Although we’ve faced many troubles in the last year and a half, and are sure to face more moving forward, it’s thanks to your support that we have been able to grow and evolve. And we hope that you’ll continue to enjoy the product of that evolution through the unique and authentic kawaii experience of YumeTwins.

The Important Details​

Our renewed YumeTwins is available for purchase from Friday October 1st, 2021.
Due to the major improvements in quality and variety of our items, we will be updating our base pricing structure from $35.00 to $37.50 USD for our monthly plan from October 1st 2021. Please see this FAQ for further details on pricing increase per plan.
For New Subscribers:
You will join us under our updated pricing structure (starting from $32.50 per month).
For Current 3, 6, or 12 Month Subscribers:
The cost of your plan will not increase until your next renewal. If you decide to renew or extend your plan by November 1st, 2021, you can take advantage of the pre-renewal pricing.
For Current Monthly Subscribers:
The price of your plan will not increase until November 1st, 2021. Therefore, you will have a month-long period to get the improved YumeTwins with the same price as before.

Moving Forward Together​

At the heart of our business is you, our YumeTwins community. And often we take a lot of inspiration, energy and motivation from our interactions with you on social media and our community forum. If you haven’t joined in before, you’re more than welcome to be part of the fun. Seeing your messages and monthly photo contest entries with your YumeTwins items is something I and the team look forward to every month.
And as always, if you have any trouble or concerns, or if you can’t find the answer to a question that you may have on our site, please always feel free to contact our support team here.
The last year has been difficult for many of us. But it is also a time that we were able to grow and evolve. And knowing our community is there to support us fills us with so much gratitude. In turn we can share the amazing kawaii culture with our new and improved kawaii experience for many years to come.
We hope you’ll enjoy your YumeTwins box as much as we’ve loved getting it ready for you! Check this month’s item lineup here, and prepare for a kawaii ride!
Love,

Ayumi Chikamoto

I just want to say I am a 54-year-old geek and mother of 3 adult kids. I love your boxes and got my first one recently and the second is on the way! I love the content so much and am excited to hear you are including more stuff like Sailor Moon because that is one of the only anime my daughter got into so I can share with her!! I really am a big kid at heart. I have been into anime for almost 15 years. I never knew what anime was before I went to study Japanese at 35. I had no idea what anime was, even though as a child I had seen things like Astro boy and Starblazers etc! Any way, thank you so much for the awesome content of the Yume twins boxes. I really do love them and appreciate the hard work and thought that goes into making these boxes for us.
Kindest regards
Cathy

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›YumeTwins Visits the Sailor Moon Illumination Show

YumeTwins Visits the Sailor Moon Illumination Show​

By Serena

March 14, 2022

Is there anything more magical than a twinkling light show? What about a twinkling light show featuring Sailor Moon characters set to Sailor Moon theme music? We didn’t think so. This past winter, YumeTwins got to experience just that at the Sailor Moon Eternal Illumination at Sagamiko Pleasure Forest.​

Sailor Moon​

Sailor Moon Eternal is a two part animated movie that came out in Japan in 2021 that follows later parts of the Sailor Moon series written by Naoko Takeuchi. The series and the movies follow main character Usagi Tsukino, also known as Sailor Moon and friends as they continue to defend Earth, the moon, and the universe from different evils.
Sailor Moon Eternal is a continuation of the Sailor Moon Crystal series that came out in 2014 as a revamped version of the classic Sailor Moon animation that would more closely follow the original Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon manga.

Sagamiko Pleasure Forest​

Sailor Moon fans were in luck when Sailor Moon Eternal, the newest Sailor Moon movie, partnered with Sagamiko Pleasure Forest, a family friendly, outdoor amusement facility in a mountainous area of Kanagawa Prefecture. On a normal day the facility offers playgrounds and amusement areas small enough for young children but also interactive enough that the whole family can enjoy.

The Climb​

As for getting to the actual facility, it was a very long and steep walk or climb from the entrance to the actual park. We at YumeTwins enjoy curating the best kawaii goods for a living, and were not mentally or physically prepared for the climb that was involved to get to this park. With that being said, it was a lot of fun to go on an unexpected hiking trip in the mountains.
The park is enjoyable during the day with fun themed areas like Paddington Bear and Sumikko Gurashi play areas, rides, and a Muscle Monster endurance course.

The Food​

There are also food and dining areas to grab a bite to eat or have a picnic. We tried the Sailor Guardian Power Plate set and got Sailor Pluto. The set included a Japanese style glazed hamburger steak, kaarage (Japanese style fried chicken), a tomato based pasta bowl, fried cheese balls, a small salad shaped like a bow, and a commemorative place mat.

The Sailor Guardian Power Plate Set featuring Pluto’s planetary symbol.
Although that sounds like a lot it was not overly filling. The Japanese style hamburger steak was juicy and tender! Hanbaagu (hamburger steak) is one of our favorite japanese dishes. The pasta also used bowtie pasta reminiscent of the sailor scout uniform, which was an adorable touch!

The Main Event​

The real show however starts once the sun goes down and the lights come on. There are many twinkling lights to view at the main level but that was not our priority at the time. In order to access the Sailor Moon area you must go up the Sailor Guardian’s Planet Symbol Lift, which is a ski lift above a rainbow sea of lights.

The Sailor Scouts at the entrance to the ski lift that leads up to the Sailor Moon Illumination area.
At the base of the lift stands all of the Sailor Guardians wishing you a safe journey. Caution should be taken for those afraid of heights. If you are not a scaredy cat and can bear to keep your eyes open during the lift, it is sure to be a magical experience.

Love Sailor Moon and other anime and manga goods? Check out YumeTwins, the monthly kawaii subscription box with lots of kawaii goodies that is delivered right to your door!​

Photo Op!​

After you step off the lift, you are then able to start enjoying your Sailor Moon Illumination experience! At the entrance you can see a photo area in front of some recognizable illuminated Sailor Moon items and designs. Our favorite was the outline of the three cats Luna, Artemis, and Diane.

To your right you can see the Moon Castle outlined in beautiful white lights. If you venture further in you will be greeted by the giant Legendary Silver Crystal and can watch as it sparkles and changes colors. There is a beautiful photo opportunity in front of the Legendary Silver Crystal where you can stand between Super Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask!
Depending on when you visit the Sailor Moon Gondola Ride and Yell Swing might be running, but they were not operational during our visit.

The Moon Castle towards the entrance of the Sailor Moon Illumination area.
As you go deeper into the Illumination you will come across the individual Sailor Scouts lit up along the path as well. For those who need a refresher on the Sailor Scouts or want to learn more about them we have a two part series introducing them.
Towards the back of the area lies the beautifully lit Elysion whose lights bounce off the face of the water in the lake. And at the very end of your journey you will find and be welcomed to the beautiful Crystal Tokyo.

Entrance to the Crystal Tokyo Illumination Show at the end of the Sailor Moon Illumination area.
At this point we would like to point out that the journey to get to this spot, plus the music, and the lights was pretty moving and we did shed one whole tear while watching the light show. Without giving any spoilers to the series, this scene felt like a beautiful end to a beautiful movie and a beautifully long trip up a mountain.
For those living or staying inside of Tokyo, a trip to the Sagamiko Pleasure Forest is a nice day trip, overnight accommodations are not necessary. As much as we were expecting large groups of teenage girls, the Sailor Moon area seemed to be enjoyable for the whole family. Both fans and non fans of the anime and manga alike could enjoy the light spectacle and fun atmosphere
Looking for other Sailor Moon inspired trips around Japan? YumeTwins has also toured the real life places in Sailor Moon as well. Or check out some other cool anime and manga museums instead.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Five Nakayoshi Manga Everyone Needs to Know About

Five Nakayoshi Manga Everyone Needs to Know About​

By Catarina Guedes-Almeida

March 11, 2022

Did you know that many of the popular manga we know and love today were originally posted in the iconic Nakayoshi manga magazine?

What is Nakayoshi?​

Nakayoshi is a best-selling manga magazine first issued in December of 1954 and continues to publish new manga alongside colorful advertisements, posters, stickers, and other small gifts. The featured manga are published in increments, also known as serialization. These types of manga magazines are often called ‘phone book magazines’ because they resemble the size and thickness of phone books.
Nakayoshi means ‘Good Friends,’ a representation of its target demographic. It’s a shoujo manga magazine meaning it publishes manga targeted for young girls. There are also shonen magazines aimed for young boys and each genre has its own differences, as you can see in this shonen vs shoujo article. For the shoujo genre, the characters are often young schoolgirls who wear Japanese school uniforms and have a crush on their senpai (upperclassmen).

Manga magazines are still really popular in Japan, with many people reading whole sections of the manga in convenience stores. Image via Shutterstock
The cover of Nakayoshi is often bursting with light, colorful prints and flowers, creating an overall feminine look. Plus, Nakayoshi also has a trend of publishing manga related to magical girls, as we’ll see further on in this article.
In fact, many popular Japanese anime and manga began through Nakayoshi before being assembled into volumes. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular Nakayoshi manga series.

Sailor Moon​

“Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight, never running from a real fight, she is the one named Sailor Moon!”
Everyone knows that Sailor Moon is a classic and the ultimate magical girl, but did you know that it used to be published in Nakayoshi? Sailor Moon was created by Naoko Takeuchi. Between 1992 and 1997, 60 chapters of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon were serialized in this phonebook magazine. Actually, Nakayoshi continues to pay homage to this timeless manga, even releasing two original illustration special stickers in the March 2022 issue for Sailor Moon‘s 30th anniversary.

Yup, the original Pretty Guardian herself first premiered in Nakayoshi. If you look at the top row on the left, you can see the Nakayoshi magazine logo: なかよし. Image via Shutterstock
Sailor Moon’s whole persona and action-packed plot introduced a unique aspect to the shoujo genre. To give a brief description, schoolgirl Usagi Tsukino receives magical powers that allow her to transform into her alter ego Sailor Moon to fight villains and protect the Earth. Interested in learning more about Sailor Moon and her secrets? Check out this article on Sailor Moon’s origin.
Inspired by magical girls like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura? YumeTwins sends everything from Japanese plushies to stationery and more to make sure you can be your best magical girl self wherever you are!

Cardcaptor Sakura​

Cardcaptor Sakura is another all-time favorite magical girl anime. This classic is one of many iconic CLAMP anime and manga and was originally published from 1996 to 2000 in Nakayoshi.
Sakura Kinomoto, a 10-year-old girl, discovers magical powers after she accidentally frees a set of magical cards into the world from a magic book called the Clow. The story revolves around her efforts to retrieve these cards before they wreak havoc on the world, becoming Cardcaptor Sakura. Aspects like her iconic poofy dresses and star wand all contributed to the kawaii aesthetic of magical girls, influencing the shoujo genre.

Shugo Chara!​

Shugo Chara! is one of those series that many people know for its cute designs and the inclusion of magical boy characters. Image via Shutterstock
Shugo Chara! involves elementary school girl Amu Hinamori who, on the outside appears lively and outgoing, is actually introverted and shy. This original series was published through Nakayoshi from 2006 to 2009 with an added sequel series published in 2010.
One day, when she wishes to be a better version of herself, she discovers three eggs in her bed that hatch into her guardians. With these guardian characters, she’s able to have a full out magical girl transformation complete with a new outfit and special powers. Shugo Chara! not only has kawaii magical girls, but it also has magical boy characters such as the striking catboy, Ikuto Tsukiyomi.

Tokyo Mew Mew​

“Mew Mew style, Mew Mew grace, Mew Mew Power in your face!”
Tokyo Mew Mew is another big magical girl anime but with a twist! Published in Nakayoshi from 2000 to 2003, Tokyo Mew Mew gave us the magical catgirl we always wanted. The story begins with five girls who were infused with the DNA of endangered animals, giving them special powers to protect the earth from aliens.
Each girl transforms into a ‘Mew Mew’ with a mandatory magical girl transformation. The main character, Ichigo Momomiya, transforms into Mew Mew Ichigo (ichigo also means strawberry in Japanese) with the DNA of an iriomote cat. The other five Mew Mews each have their own transformation with special animal powers as well.
Their names are Mew Mew Mint, Mew Mew Lettuce, Mew Mew Pudding, and Mew Mew Zakuro (also known as Mew Mew Pomegranate). Whew, that’s a lot of Mew Mews but each girl represents different abilities and portrays the power of friendship.
Nakayoshi continues to publish Tokyo Mew Mew related works, like the 2003 to 2004 sequel as well as an all-new spinoff series called Tokyo Mew Mew Olé! that focuses on a new team of male Mew Mews.

On top of Sailor Moon, Nakayoshi also published the insanely popular Pretty Cure series and a classic from the same creator as Astro Boy. Image via Shutterstock

Princess Knight​

Let’s go back in time to Japan in the 60’s where Princess Knight was shaking up the manga world. One of the earlier manga to be released in Nakayoshi, Princess Knight is definitely one to remember.
The first remake was serialized as a sequel in Nakayoshi in 1958, with a third remake running from 1963 to 1966. Written by the same creator of Astro Boy, Osamu Tezuka, many think of it as the very first story manga for girls in Japan.
The plot revolves around Sapphire, a princess born with both a boy’s heart and a girl’s heart due to a mischievous angel. She is then raised as a prince since she was reported as a boy at her birth by mistake.
Because of Sapphire’s androgynous looks, she is both able to fight evil disguised as a prince and have a love interest with a prince named Franz. The idea of gender-bending, used greatly in Princess Knight, would then become a common trope in both shoujo and magical girl stories.
From Sailor Moon to Princess Knight, these are only a few examples of the many manga that Nakayoshi has published. Each one has its own kawaii characters and innovative stories that left an impact on multiple generations.
Are phonebook manga magazines like Nakayoshi still important today? Did we miss any of your favorites? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Get to Know the Sailor Scouts Part 1 :The Inner Planets​

By Serena

March 11, 2022

By now most people in the world have heard of or seen Sailor Moon, she has brand recognition that rivals Mickey Mouse and Hello Kitty. But, just because many people have heard of her, that doesn’t mean that everyone really knows about her and the rest of her planetary friends.​

That is understandable considering the series is quite spread out among storylines, mediums, and time. 美少女戦士セーラームーン also known as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon or Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon in English, written by Naoko Takeuchi, got its start technically in 1991 when it was serialized in Nakayoshi Comics. Though the idea and the basis of the series started earlier in 1991 with the series called Codename: Sailor V. The same Sailor V, or Sailor Venus, that shows up in the Sailor Moon universe. Check here for more information about the legend herself, Naoko Takeuchi.
In the first part of the series we meet the main character Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts or Sailor Soldiers for the rest of the inner planets closest to the sun. Here is a run down of all of those Sailor Scouts.

Sailor Moon – Usagi Tsukino​

Sailor Moon as she appears on the cover of the first volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
Our main character and the one at the heart of this story is Sailor Moon. She has gone by many names throughout her very long and reincarnated life. Originally born as Princess Serenity in the Moon Kingdom, she was later sent to Earth where she was reborn as a young Japanese girl named Usagi Tsukino. When translated and localized in English speaking countries her name was sometimes changed to Serena Tsukino, taken from her original name Serenity.
Our present day Usagi starts the story as a 14 year old middle school student who loves comics, video games, eating, and sleeping. Which is pretty relatable if you ask me. Her grades are average at best, and she is really just concerned with living a fun life with her friends. Many consider her an “airhead” and she often is the butt of many jokes in her friend groups.
After getting the power to transform into Sailor Moon she matures more with every new struggle or battle she faces. She demonstrates time and time again her strength and willingness to do what she must to protect those around her. She is fiercely loyal to her friends and fights for the safety of her planet. Since she is the main character, we have compiled more information about Sailor Moon for those who are still curious about her.

Sailor Mercury – Ami Mizuno​

Sailor Mercury as she appears on the cover of the second volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
Sailor Mercury’s name in the original series is Ami Mizuno, localized to Amy Anderson in some English versions. She is a classmate of Usagi and the first Sailor Scout that she befriends. Ami is a classic “bookworm,” as she is shy and often talks about studying and her grades.

Sailor Mercury’s powers are water based due to the Japanese mythology which has named the planet Mercury as suisei, 水星 using the kanji characters for water 水 and for star 星. When she transforms into Sailor Mercury, her analytical nature comes in handy since many of the series plots are shrouded in mystery. Plus it never hurts to have someone who can stay calm and collected during heated battles.

Sailor Mars – Rei Hino​

Sailor Mars as she appears on the cover of the third volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
Sailor Mars’ name in the original series is Rei Hino. It was localized to Raye Hino, as in short for the name Raven. She is the second Sailor Scout Usagi meets and befriends in the series. Rei attends a different private school than Usagi and Ami, and only meets Usagi by riding the same bus as her.
Even though their friendship started by Usagi’s deep admiration for such a “cool girl” on the bus, they often have a rocky relationship and bicker the most among the scouts. For many fans, anime and manga Rei and Usagi have the most differences in characterization of their friendship. Rei lives and works at Azabu Hikawa Shrine with her grandfather and possesses strong psychic and fortune telling abilities.
We took a trip to Azabu Hikawa Shrine so you can see what it is like in real life!

Sailor Jupiter – Makoto Kino​

Sailor Jupiter as she appears on the cover of the fourth volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
The next Sailor Scout that we meet is Sailor Jupiter. Her Japanese name is Makoto Kino but was localized to Lita Kino. She transfers into Juban Middle School where she meets Usagi and Ami. However due to her height she is forced to wear the uniform for her previous school because she can’t find a new one to fit her.
With her height and strength she is often thought to be a “tomboy” by other characters and many fans. This is however contradicted by her personality which comes across as quite feminie. She dreams of getting married and opening a flower shop and belongs to the cooking and gardening club. But that isn’t to say that she isn’t powerful, she is super strong and uses electric and plant based attacks.

Sailor Venus – Minako Aino​

Sailor Venus as she appears as Sailor V in the first volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
The last Sailor Scout that we meet in person in the first part of the series is Sailor Venus or Minako Aino, localized as Mina Aiko. Though we are introduced to the mysterious Sailor V from the very beginning of the series as Usagi idolizes her.
Sailor Venus is the first Sailor Scout to learn of their former identity as a Sailor Warrior thanks to the white cat Artemis. Since she predates Sailor Moon, they have very similar character designs. However their personalities are very different as Minako is very smart and hardworking, and even dreams of being a famous pop star.
As Sailor V and Sailor Venus, Minako is the strongest of the scouts since she has had the most training and the most time to get used to her role as a Sailor Scout. She is also the most focussed on the mission at which is to find a special silver crystal and to protect the princess of the moon.

Bonus​

Tuxedo Mask – Mamoru Chiba​

Tuxedo Mask as he appears in the begining of chapter 27 in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
I know this is supposed to be about the Sailor Scouts but a question that is often asked by those who are not familiar with the series is, where is Sailor Earth? Well in short Sailor Moon and the Moon Kingdom looks over and protects Earth. But Earth was not without another protector, Prince Endymion. Prince Endymion ruled on Earth until he fell in love with Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and died trying to protect her and both of their homes.
Prince Endymion was reincarnated on Earth along with the rest of the Sailor Guardians, and also had his memories wiped in the process as well. In the present day of the series he lives as Mamoru Chiba, localized to Darien Shields, as a high school student, while also aiding the Sailor Scouts as Tuxedo Mask.
Fans are often surprised by the change in attitude and personality from manga Mamoru to anime Mamoru since his mischievous and bickering relationship with Usagi is played up. In general he is a handsome and athletic young man with many admirers. He also has a sad past in which he lost his parents after being reborn in the modern age thus leaving him to live and grow up alone.
Enjoyed learning about the Inner Guardians from the Sailor Moon series? Stay tuned for part two where we take a closer look at the Sailor Scouts for the outer planets and Sailor Chibi Moon.

Sailor Moon Places in Real Life​

By Serena

March 08, 2022

Although we love Japanese anime and manga for their fantastical settings and locations, there is something so relatable about stories that take place in locations that exist for us in the real world too. Due to many of such stories taking place in our world, a newer trend has started among anime fans from around the world, the anime pilgrimage trip.​

On your anime pilgrimage trip you can stand where your favorite anime characters would have stood and see the sites that inspired your favorite manga artists and animators. You can spend a day in the neighborhood of an epic fight or a heartwarming moment. For those who live outside of Japan, these pilgrimages can be integral parts of your travel itineraries.
Today we are going to look at 3 places in Tokyo that appear in the Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Crystal universe that just also happen to exist in our universe as well.

Azabu Juban​

To start this list we are going to be looking at one of the most used places in Sailor Moon, Azabu Juban, 麻布十番, the real world location of the fictional life of Sailor Moon’s protagonist, Usagi Tsukino.

Patio Juban in Azabu Juban Tokyo where Sailor Moon and her friends often hung out.
Azabu, 麻布, is a cosmopolitan area with nine residential districts in the Minato Ward in Tokyo. Minato Ward is also where YumeTwins’ headquarters is! Azabu is a trendy area with many shopping areas, good food, and beautiful sites to see. Azabu Juban is one of those nine residential districts in Azabu and is where Usagi lives and goes to school. Coincidentally it is also where Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi lives as well.

Azabu Juban has been described as, “An upscale neighborhood with a downtown vibe” according to Go Tokyo. There are many beautiful neighborhoods that go into high price ranges. The area also houses many foreign embassies so it is quite multicultural as well!
Ms. Takeuchi included a lot of real world locations from Azabu in the Sailor Moon series. While some of them are direct copies, some of the names and the kanji for the names have been altered a bit.

Azabu Juban Station​

This subway station and transportation hub was kept the same when put into the Sailor Moon universe. This is a real subway station that you can take going in and out of the area in your everyday life. Azabu Juban Station is about 15 minutes away from the popular Shibuya Station.
Another location in Azabu that appears in the series is the school that Usagi attends, Juban Middle School and Juban Municipal High School. Neither of these schools really exists but there is a Azabu Junior and Senior High School in the Azabu District. This real life school is an all boys private prep school with a highly competitive entrance rate. Considering Usagi was known for her low grades, even if the school was co-ed, there is very little chance she would be able to attend.

The Azabu Hikawa Shrine that became the inspiration for the Hikawa Shrine that Sailor Mars lives and works at in the Sailor Moon sereies.

Azabu Hikawa Shrine​

Within the city of Azabu is the very real Azabu Hikawa Shrine that the very fictional Sailor Mars or Rei Hino works and lives at. Located in another one of the nine residential districts, Motoazabu, Azabu Hikawa Shrine is a Shinto Shrine with history that dates back to 938.
In the series, Sailor Guardian Rei works as a shrine maiden at the Hikawa Shrine that is managed by her grandfather. However, the name has been slightly altered for the Sailor Moon series.
In the real world Hikawa uses these two kanji characters, 氷 and 川 for the name. 氷 read as “hi” meaning ice, 川 read as “kawa” meaning river, 神社. However for the Sailor Moon series they changed the first character that reads as “hi,” to 火 which can also be read as “hi” but the meaning is fire.
This kanji change makes sense considering Sailor Mars’ fire powers and the fact that her own last name of Hino, 火野, uses the same fire kanji character.

Although we can not meet the real Rei Hino at this shrine, they do acknowledge their famous fictional worker at the shrine. To the right of the honden, or main building where the god is kept, is a small stall where you can buy omikuji (sacred lots). They have hung a small Sailor Mars plushie in the window of the stall for visitors to see. Sakuraco has a guide to Shinto shrines in Japan for those who would like more information about the sacred world.

Tokyo Tower​

By far the most famous locations and tourist attraction that was used in Sailor Moon is Tokyo Tower. Though to be honest, Tokyo Tower does show up in almost every piece of media that is set in Tokyo. Sailor Moon was created and finished before Tokyo SkyTree was built, making it the tallest broadcasting tower in Japan at the time.

Tokyo Tower, one of the many symbols of Japan seen through blooming cherry blossom trees on a spring day.
At the time of its construction, Tokyo Tower filled a need for a centralized broadcasting system and a power symbol to prove its technological advancement to the world. Since then, it has solidified itself along with Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms as symbols of Japanese culture. On a clear, beautiful day make sure you visit the observation decks 150 meters and 250 meters above ground level.
Want more Sailor Moon places to visit during your next trip to Japan? Make sure you check out the YumeTwins tour of The Sailor Moon Store in Harajuku, Tokyo as well. The flagship store is located right next to the famous Meiji Shrine which is dedicated to Emperor Meiji.
What places are you hoping to go to when you visit Japan?

YumeTwins Sailor Moon Store Tour 2022​

By Serena

March 06, 2022

Aside from being the setting of many popular anime and manga stories, Tokyo has some of the best spots for anime fans! Some may consider Akihabara to be the central hub of anime, manga, and game ‘nerdom’, but that’s not the only place.​

Fans of shojo and magical girl genres might want to set their sights on another popular tourist destination, Harajuku. Despite its reputation, Harajuku is not just the place for seeing wild fashion, it’s a great place to shop for branded kawaii goods.

La Foret Harajuku​

The Sailor Moon Store in La Foret Harajuku is where fandom meets kawaii. Opened in 2018, the flagship store is actually 2 separate stores on the B.5 level of this fashion forward mall and central hub of Harajuku fashion. The store is extremely popular with Sailor Moon fans since it is the first and only permanent Sailor Moon store open in Japan. Read our blog here for a tour of the Sailor Moon Store when it first opened.

La Foret Harajuku is just off the famous Takeshita Street, on the opposite side from Harajuku Station. It is also home to many lolita fashion brand stores like Angelic Pretty, Alice and the Pirates from Baby the Stars Shine Bright, and Metamorphose. Another anime famous for fashion, fans of the NANA anime and manga might also be interested in the Vivienne Westwood store located on the ground floor of this shopping center.

The Pink Store​

Like we mentioned earlier, The Sailor Moon Store is actually 2 different stores right across from each other. One of these stores has pink decor and is very lively with kawaii goods. At this store you can find plush toys, home goods, accessories, manga, DVDs, and more. Goods span across the original 90s anime, the newer Sailor Moon Crystal, the stage performances, and even the live action TV series.

Not just Sailor Moon but Sailor Mercury, Tuxedo Mask, and even the outer planets all have goods at this shop. They also have an elaborate display of non-purchasable Sailor Moon items behind the counter to make every Sailor Moon collector just a little bit jealous.
Sailor Neptune’s, or Michiru Kaio’s, birthday is March 6th, so there was also a table display dedicated to her at the entrance of the store. Another fun thing about this store is the music playing. “Moonlight Densetsu” is a great song but I imagine I would go crazy hearing it on a loop in the store if they played it. Instead they play songs from the many Sailor Moon musicals and stage performances.

Since these performances are only put on in Japan with limited ticket sales, this can be a fun chance to experience the music for those unable to go see it live. What if you like the music? Well they sell the DVDs and Blurays of many of the performances in the store!

The Blue Store​

Across the walkway is a darker more mature Sailor Moon store that sells more of their high priced items. Here you can find roomwear and other clothes, as well as cosplay and purses. In a glass case there is medium to high end jewelry and hair styling tools. This half of the store has a mannequin in full Sailor Moon cosplay!

Jewerly and accessories from the blue side of the Sailor Moon Store in a display case.
In addition to the beautiful Sailor Moon inspired jewelry there are many collaborations fashion items including Luna and Diana bathrobe from P-Bandai and Sailor Moon Crystal inspired lingerie sets from PEACH JOHN.
Outside of the blue store is also where you will find the Sailor Moon themed gashapon, or capsule toy machines. The prizes range from ¥300 to ¥800 and include things like keychains, figures, coasters, and stickers.

Window Display​

The fun doesn’t just stop at the two stores either! Around the corner from the blue Sailor Moon Store is their window display. The installation is changed out regularly to reflect current Sailor Moon information and collaborations.
Some notable displays include the Sailor Moon Wedding collaboration spread from the wedding venue Arc en Ciel and Sailor Moon wedding dresses by Maria Rosa. Another display showed the Sailor Moon x Alice and the Pirates Princess Serenity Dress Set that was also available for purchase.

I don’t know about you, but Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon is one of our favorite series, and this is one of our favorite stores in Harajuku. When you get to visit, don’t forget to get a point card and start earning points! With all of these kawaii stores in Harajuku we know it can be hard on the credit card and bank account! Make sure you plan accordingly when coming to visit. What store are you looking forward to visiting in Harajuku?

CLAMP Anime and Manga: A Magical, Mysterious Universe​

By Linh

March 04, 2022

If you’re a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura, it’s impossible not to know about CLAMP – a famous all-female manga authors group with many lifelong works. But do you know about the other outstanding works of CLAMP? Today we’ll introduce to you everything you need to know about CLAMP and the CLAMP manga and anime universe!

CLAMP: The Queen of Shojo​

CLAMP was born in 1989 as a group of 12 female manga artists specializing in drawing doujinshi, which means creating stories based on the plots and characters of famous manga works (like fan-fiction for manga).
It wasn’t until 1990 that they started creating manga on their own when some members left the group to pursue their own plans. Their earlier works include: Man of Many Faces, Tokyo Babylon, and Clamp School Defenders

Much like every big piece Japanese anime and manga, CLAMP got started by publishing their manga in manga magazines like this one! Image via Shutterstock
At this point, there are only four official members of CLAMP: Ohkawa Nanase (leader, script & content writer), Mokona (lead artist, colorist, art designer), Tsubaki Nekoi (illustrator), and Satsuki Igarashi (designer).
CLAMP’s manga doesn’t just have fascinating storylines. They also vary in genres from childish and comedic to tragic, dramatic stories giving deep lessons that are more for teenagers and adults.
In terms of art design and brush strokes, CLAMP is very meticulous in its works, from creating character costumes to shading with characteristic drawings. If you are a fan of CLAMP comics, you’ll immediately recognize their comic works by just skimming a few frames!

The CLAMP Universe’s Most Popular Works​

With many well-known manga works, most CLAMP manga series are adapted into anime, turning the manga lovers into CLAMP anime lovers too.

Cardcaptor Sakura​

This is probably CLAMP’s most famous manga series, widely loved by women, both children and adults all over the world. Of course, there are plenty of guys who like the series too.
The story follows a 10-year-old girl in 4th grade named Sakura Kinomoto who accidentally discovers a set of magical cards called Clow Cards in a book, accidentally releasing them into the world.
She is then tasked with collecting the cards to prevent dangerous catastrophes that threaten to destroy the world. Sakura has a close friend named Tomoyo, who was also the first to know Sakura as a cardcaptor. Later, the young boy Syaoran appeared, becoming Sakura’s “rival”.

Who could ever bring themselves to be Sakura’s rival when she’s this cute? Certainly not Hatsune Miku! Image via Shutterstock
And we can’t forget one of the cutest Cardcaptor Sakura characters, Kero-chan. He is Sakura’s guide along this whole adventure.
Cardcaptor Sakura was made into an anime series, first making its appearance in Japan in 1998. It was widely recognized for its unique storyline and creative drawing style. In 2001, Cardcaptor Sakura was awarded the Seiun Award for the Best Comic Series.

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle​

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle is a manga that reuses characters that are familiar to the audience from several of CLAMP’s popular manga.
The story is about Sakura, the princess of Clow Kingdom, who has the ability to see mysterious objects. One day, she visits her childhood friend Syaoran at the excavation site where he works. There, she sees a strange symbol and gets sucked into it when a pair of wings appear behind her back.
Syaoran tries to pull her back from the strange symbol but suddenly her wings fly away, making Sakura lose consciousness. A mage named Yukito (another Cardcaptor Sakura character) appears, saying that the wings are the princess’s memory, and without them, Sakura will die soon.

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronice’s Combined Universe​

So, Yukito sends Syaoran to get help from Yuuko (xxxHolic) – “the witch of space” – to find the feathers of Sakura’s memory that have been lost in another dimension. Joining their journey are Fai, a wizard who left his world to escape the evil king; Kurogane, a ninja banished from his world by Princess Tomoyo (Cardcaptor Sakura); and Mokona (Magic Knight Rayearth & xxxHolic).
The series is highly praised by both Japanese and foreigners audiences, but this can be confusing for young readers.
Actually, the Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle hasn’t ended yet. Although a completed part 2 was released, it left many big questions for readers of this series.

xxxHolic​

Anyone who’s read xxxHolic or Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles knows about the iconic character, Yuuko. Image via Shutterstock
xxxHolic is a story about Watanuki Kimihiro, a high school boy with a special ability to see spirits. The story begins with a chase that pushes Watanuki away from the ghosts, stepping into a strange shop that specializes in granting people’s wishes. Wantanuki wants to get rid of his supernatural vision so he agreed to pay for his wish by working for Yuuko Hajiwara, the owner of the shop.
xxxHolic is an important series in the CLAMP universe because it contains many mysteries and explanations for other series as well. This manga series blends the humor from Carcaptor Sakura and the mystery from Tsubasa while still managing to keep its very own color.
This is a series worth reading whether you are a fan of CLAMP or not. It’s also one of the series geared towards young men, as opposed to shoujo anime for young women. However, it’s a pity that xxxHolic also has never made a comeback for a long time like Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.

Magic Knight Rayearth​

In this classic magical girl anime, Fate has tied up 3 high school girls – Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu. On a day when the three are at Tokyo Tower, a light flashed, and they all disappeared. When they opened their eyes, they realized they had been transported to the world of Cephiro.
There they met Clef, Cephiro’s mage, who told them they were the magical knights of legend – prophesied to protect Cephiro’s pillar, Princess Emeraude. To return to their own world, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu must become “miracle knights” to save Princess Emeraude who is being held by Zagato. But behind this story there is a hidden truth.
Although there might be some emotional intensity and violent scenes, in general, this series is an easy-to-follow and standard series that even young children can enjoy.

Kobato​

Kobato is a story about a strange girl named Kobato, who has an extremely innocent view of the world. She has a secret “mission” to fill the glass vase with the suffering hearts of other people. In order to collect these hearts, she will have to heal their wounds first.
Kobata is one of the most loved series of CLAMP because of its well-established and healing story plot. Like many other CLAMP manga series, Kobato, composed of sad stories of many different fates, helps to deliver a positive message about life: at the end of every pain, there is always a warm and bright light watching over us.

Clover​

The story revolves around Clover‘s world, governed by 5 spells. The government here seeks to control people who have special powers, with a “clover” tattoo marking these people. The 1-pointed leaf is the weakest level and the strongest is the 4-pointed leaf.
Being a 4-leaf clover with unusual strength, Sue was imprisoned by the government to prevent her from contacting other people. The story follows Kazuhiko, who is assigned to escort Sue to a place she needs to go. On the escort road, various dangers arise. With the help of Ran, another clover, Kazuhiko tries to help Sue achieve her wish.
Clover published in Amie magazine between 1997-1999 but had to stop due to many objective reasons. In 2014, the official website’s introduction to the work put Clover on the list of completed manga, even though the series was only halfway through 4 volumes, causing controversy in the international CLAMP fandom.

CLAMP’s Legacy​

CLAMP’s legacy is one that even leans into iconic shows like Code Geass. Image via Shutterstock
CLAMP is still considered to be a monument in the magical manga and anime world with unlimited creativity and epic series, taking us to mysterious and strange new worlds. That’s why they were even asked to provide character designs for the show Code Geass.
If you ever read a CLAMP manga, you’ll find yourself wishing you were one of their characters with the same amazing power, exploring these magical worlds.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›A New YumeTwins: Letter from Founder Ayumi Chikamoto

A New YumeTwins: Letter from Founder Ayumi Chikamoto​

By Ayumi Chikamoto

September 30, 2021

Hi there, I’m Ayumi, the founder of YumeTwins. I also founded its sister brands TokyoTreat, Sakuraco, and nomakenolife. I’d like to start by saying thank you for being here, whether you’re one of our wonderful YumeTwins subscribers, part of our community, or if you’re here for the first time. We can’t express how much we appreciate you.​

Since 2016, my team and I have been lucky enough to share Japanese kawaii goods and kawaii culture with the world. In Japan, sometimes we take this culture for granted. Whenever I would send care packages to my friends overseas, many would request Japanese plushies and unique items that I didn’t realize were rare overseas.
Thinking that there were many others who also wanted to own this little bit of Japan, and wanting to share kawaii culture with the world were my two big motivations for founding YumeTwins after the success of her sister brand, TokyoTreat. Our mission has always been clear: to spread the joy of authentic kawaii culture to everyone, everywhere around the world.
Over the last 5 years we’ve loved sharing our favorite kawaii goods with our family and fostering our wonderful community. We’ve also been learning more about you. Our large-scale survey last spring led to multiple group discussions where we met each other face to face. We were able to discover your stories and listen to your feedback. Your comments and opinions really do matter to us, and help us to grow so much. So from October 1st 2021, we’ll be refreshing and renewing YumeTwins, bringing you a whole new Japanese kawaii experience.

A Look at What’s New​

The most noticeable change to your YumeTwins experience are the items that you’ll be getting in every YumeTwins box. We’ve refocused our curation process to be more in tune with our community’s needs.
From here on out, we’ll be featuring 5-7 items with a greater focus on variety and quality. Expect stationery, household & lifestyle goods like kitchenware or blankets, and more character items from brands like Sailor Moon & Cardcaptor Sakura that you’ve been asking for.

YumeTwins Originals:​

One of our most exciting introductions are the YumeTwins Originals that we’ll be introducing periodically into your boxes. Created and designed by our in-house kawaii experts who take inspirations from the pop culture that surrounds us, look forward to YumeTwins originals such as plushies, electronics and more.

Our first Original comes in November 2021’s Magical Level-Up box, the Magical Nyan Nyan Plushie, designed with YumeTwins motifs like hearts and stars to commemorate the launch of our rebranded box.

YumeTwins Exclusives:​

We’ve been hard a work creating partnerships with both well-known and loved brands, as well as up-and-coming kawaii brands to bring you exclusive collab items. Keep an eye out for future boxes featuring exclusive anime and Sanrio goods you can only find through us.
November 2021 will see the latest addition to our exclusive item roster – the Cardcaptor Sakura Blanket.

Licensed Character Boxes:​

One of my favorite boxes to curate are the boxes where we feature a single brand, character, or series. For example, the YumeTwins June 2021 Ghibli Lunch Date box. There is a unique challenge to these boxes, finding items that truly blend and mesh well. But the final result always leaves me filled with pride. Seeing the reactions of fans from those series brings me true joy. Look forward to more boxes like this moving forward.

New Box Design:​

Beyond just the items, we’ve looked at how we can improve your experience in other ways. Starting with your box itself, we’ve redesigned it from scratch, removing wasted space so that we can pass the savings on to you. In addition, certain boxes will have limited edition designs that you can easily collect and enjoy for a long time.

Culture Guide:​

As a way to enrich your experience and further your connection to Japan’s kawaii culture, we’ll be including a 16+ Page Kawaii Culture Guide into your box. Written by our Tokyo based team, we’ll be sharing How-To’s, contests and interesting articles about the latest kawaii trends.

Website:​

Our website has been given a full makeover too, featuring new and improved background information on Japan’s kawaii culture and highlighting members of our community, who are at the heart of our service. See further information on your box items as well, and enjoy regularly updated blog content.

Improvements Born Through Challenge​

You might be asking ‘why did you decide to update YumeTwins?’, especially when we have been operating for 5 years. Our inspiration actually came from an unlikely place – the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2021.
During the height of COVID, we were forced to adapt to new situations every day. As a small company, when something unexpected happens it can have a massive impact on how the structure you worked so hard to create continues to operate. Shipping became a major challenge for us, and at times we didn’t think that we’d be able to recover.
But, knowing during those difficult times that YumeTwins was able to bring a little bit of happiness and connection to Japan when life was disrupted for many people meant that giving up was not an option.
We got creative with how we ship and deliver our boxes, eventually partnering with a high speed delivery service to deliver your boxes no matter what. However, that opened a new challenge – how efficiently are we using the space in your YumeTwins box? This led us to our next big and creative idea.
Simply by optimizing the size of your box and how we pack, we found a way to pass the savings on to you, by upgrading the items you receive in your YumeTwins box.
Although we’ve faced many troubles in the last year and a half, and are sure to face more moving forward, it’s thanks to your support that we have been able to grow and evolve. And we hope that you’ll continue to enjoy the product of that evolution through the unique and authentic kawaii experience of YumeTwins.

The Important Details​

Our renewed YumeTwins is available for purchase from Friday October 1st, 2021.
Due to the major improvements in quality and variety of our items, we will be updating our base pricing structure from $35.00 to $37.50 USD for our monthly plan from October 1st 2021. Please see this FAQ for further details on pricing increase per plan.
For New Subscribers:
You will join us under our updated pricing structure (starting from $32.50 per month).
For Current 3, 6, or 12 Month Subscribers:
The cost of your plan will not increase until your next renewal. If you decide to renew or extend your plan by November 1st, 2021, you can take advantage of the pre-renewal pricing.
For Current Monthly Subscribers:
The price of your plan will not increase until November 1st, 2021. Therefore, you will have a month-long period to get the improved YumeTwins with the same price as before.

Moving Forward Together​

At the heart of our business is you, our YumeTwins community. And often we take a lot of inspiration, energy and motivation from our interactions with you on social media and our community forum. If you haven’t joined in before, you’re more than welcome to be part of the fun. Seeing your messages and monthly photo contest entries with your YumeTwins items is something I and the team look forward to every month.
And as always, if you have any trouble or concerns, or if you can’t find the answer to a question that you may have on our site, please always feel free to contact our support team here.
The last year has been difficult for many of us. But it is also a time that we were able to grow and evolve. And knowing our community is there to support us fills us with so much gratitude. In turn we can share the amazing kawaii culture with our new and improved kawaii experience for many years to come.
We hope you’ll enjoy your YumeTwins box as much as we’ve loved getting it ready for you! Check this month’s item lineup here, and prepare for a kawaii ride!
Love,

Ayumi Chikamoto

I just want to say I am a 54-year-old geek and mother of 3 adult kids. I love your boxes and got my first one recently and the second is on the way! I love the content so much and am excited to hear you are including more stuff like Sailor Moon because that is one of the only anime my daughter got into so I can share with her!! I really am a big kid at heart. I have been into anime for almost 15 years. I never knew what anime was before I went to study Japanese at 35. I had no idea what anime was, even though as a child I had seen things like Astro boy and Starblazers etc! Any way, thank you so much for the awesome content of the Yume twins boxes. I really do love them and appreciate the hard work and thought that goes into making these boxes for us.
Kindest regards
Cathy

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›YumeTwins Visits the Sailor Moon Illumination Show

YumeTwins Visits the Sailor Moon Illumination Show​

By Serena

March 14, 2022

Is there anything more magical than a twinkling light show? What about a twinkling light show featuring Sailor Moon characters set to Sailor Moon theme music? We didn’t think so. This past winter, YumeTwins got to experience just that at the Sailor Moon Eternal Illumination at Sagamiko Pleasure Forest.​

Sailor Moon​

Sailor Moon Eternal is a two part animated movie that came out in Japan in 2021 that follows later parts of the Sailor Moon series written by Naoko Takeuchi. The series and the movies follow main character Usagi Tsukino, also known as Sailor Moon and friends as they continue to defend Earth, the moon, and the universe from different evils.
Sailor Moon Eternal is a continuation of the Sailor Moon Crystal series that came out in 2014 as a revamped version of the classic Sailor Moon animation that would more closely follow the original Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon manga.

Sagamiko Pleasure Forest​

Sailor Moon fans were in luck when Sailor Moon Eternal, the newest Sailor Moon movie, partnered with Sagamiko Pleasure Forest, a family friendly, outdoor amusement facility in a mountainous area of Kanagawa Prefecture. On a normal day the facility offers playgrounds and amusement areas small enough for young children but also interactive enough that the whole family can enjoy.

The Climb​

As for getting to the actual facility, it was a very long and steep walk or climb from the entrance to the actual park. We at YumeTwins enjoy curating the best kawaii goods for a living, and were not mentally or physically prepared for the climb that was involved to get to this park. With that being said, it was a lot of fun to go on an unexpected hiking trip in the mountains.
The park is enjoyable during the day with fun themed areas like Paddington Bear and Sumikko Gurashi play areas, rides, and a Muscle Monster endurance course.

The Food​

There are also food and dining areas to grab a bite to eat or have a picnic. We tried the Sailor Guardian Power Plate set and got Sailor Pluto. The set included a Japanese style glazed hamburger steak, kaarage (Japanese style fried chicken), a tomato based pasta bowl, fried cheese balls, a small salad shaped like a bow, and a commemorative place mat.

The Sailor Guardian Power Plate Set featuring Pluto’s planetary symbol.
Although that sounds like a lot it was not overly filling. The Japanese style hamburger steak was juicy and tender! Hanbaagu (hamburger steak) is one of our favorite japanese dishes. The pasta also used bowtie pasta reminiscent of the sailor scout uniform, which was an adorable touch!

The Main Event​

The real show however starts once the sun goes down and the lights come on. There are many twinkling lights to view at the main level but that was not our priority at the time. In order to access the Sailor Moon area you must go up the Sailor Guardian’s Planet Symbol Lift, which is a ski lift above a rainbow sea of lights.

At the base of the lift stands all of the Sailor Guardians wishing you a safe journey. Caution should be taken for those afraid of heights. If you are not a scaredy cat and can bear to keep your eyes open during the lift, it is sure to be a magical experience.

Love Sailor Moon and other anime and manga goods? Check out YumeTwins, the monthly kawaii subscription box with lots of kawaii goodies that is delivered right to your door!​

Photo Op!​

After you step off the lift, you are then able to start enjoying your Sailor Moon Illumination experience! At the entrance you can see a photo area in front of some recognizable illuminated Sailor Moon items and designs. Our favorite was the outline of the three cats Luna, Artemis, and Diane.

To your right you can see the Moon Castle outlined in beautiful white lights. If you venture further in you will be greeted by the giant Legendary Silver Crystal and can watch as it sparkles and changes colors. There is a beautiful photo opportunity in front of the Legendary Silver Crystal where you can stand between Super Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask!
Depending on when you visit the Sailor Moon Gondola Ride and Yell Swing might be running, but they were not operational during our visit.

As you go deeper into the Illumination you will come across the individual Sailor Scouts lit up along the path as well. For those who need a refresher on the Sailor Scouts or want to learn more about them we have a two part series introducing them.
Towards the back of the area lies the beautifully lit Elysion whose lights bounce off the face of the water in the lake. And at the very end of your journey you will find and be welcomed to the beautiful Crystal Tokyo.

At this point we would like to point out that the journey to get to this spot, plus the music, and the lights was pretty moving and we did shed one whole tear while watching the light show. Without giving any spoilers to the series, this scene felt like a beautiful end to a beautiful movie and a beautifully long trip up a mountain.
For those living or staying inside of Tokyo, a trip to the Sagamiko Pleasure Forest is a nice day trip, overnight accommodations are not necessary. As much as we were expecting large groups of teenage girls, the Sailor Moon area seemed to be enjoyable for the whole family. Both fans and non fans of the anime and manga alike could enjoy the light spectacle and fun atmosphere
Looking for other Sailor Moon inspired trips around Japan? YumeTwins has also toured the real life places in Sailor Moon as well. Or check out some other cool anime and manga museums instead.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Five Nakayoshi Manga Everyone Needs to Know About

Five Nakayoshi Manga Everyone Needs to Know About​

By Catarina Guedes-Almeida

March 11, 2022

Did you know that many of the popular manga we know and love today were originally posted in the iconic Nakayoshi manga magazine?

What is Nakayoshi?​

Nakayoshi is a best-selling manga magazine first issued in December of 1954 and continues to publish new manga alongside colorful advertisements, posters, stickers, and other small gifts. The featured manga are published in increments, also known as serialization. These types of manga magazines are often called ‘phone book magazines’ because they resemble the size and thickness of phone books.
Nakayoshi means ‘Good Friends,’ a representation of its target demographic. It’s a shoujo manga magazine meaning it publishes manga targeted for young girls. There are also shonen magazines aimed for young boys and each genre has its own differences, as you can see in this shonen vs shoujo article. For the shoujo genre, the characters are often young schoolgirls who wear Japanese school uniforms and have a crush on their senpai (upperclassmen).

Manga magazines are still really popular in Japan, with many people reading whole sections of the manga in convenience stores. Image via Shutterstock
The cover of Nakayoshi is often bursting with light, colorful prints and flowers, creating an overall feminine look. Plus, Nakayoshi also has a trend of publishing manga related to magical girls, as we’ll see further on in this article.
In fact, many popular Japanese anime and manga began through Nakayoshi before being assembled into volumes. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular Nakayoshi manga series.

Sailor Moon​

“Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight, never running from a real fight, she is the one named Sailor Moon!”
Everyone knows that Sailor Moon is a classic and the ultimate magical girl, but did you know that it used to be published in Nakayoshi? Sailor Moon was created by Naoko Takeuchi. Between 1992 and 1997, 60 chapters of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon were serialized in this phonebook magazine. Actually, Nakayoshi continues to pay homage to this timeless manga, even releasing two original illustration special stickers in the March 2022 issue for Sailor Moon‘s 30th anniversary.

Yup, the original Pretty Guardian herself first premiered in Nakayoshi. If you look at the top row on the left, you can see the Nakayoshi magazine logo: なかよし. Image via Shutterstock
Sailor Moon’s whole persona and action-packed plot introduced a unique aspect to the shoujo genre. To give a brief description, schoolgirl Usagi Tsukino receives magical powers that allow her to transform into her alter ego Sailor Moon to fight villains and protect the Earth. Interested in learning more about Sailor Moon and her secrets? Check out this article on Sailor Moon’s origin.
Inspired by magical girls like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura? YumeTwins sends everything from Japanese plushies to stationery and more to make sure you can be your best magical girl self wherever you are!

Cardcaptor Sakura​

Cardcaptor Sakura is another all-time favorite magical girl anime. This classic is one of many iconic CLAMP anime and manga and was originally published from 1996 to 2000 in Nakayoshi.
Sakura Kinomoto, a 10-year-old girl, discovers magical powers after she accidentally frees a set of magical cards into the world from a magic book called the Clow. The story revolves around her efforts to retrieve these cards before they wreak havoc on the world, becoming Cardcaptor Sakura. Aspects like her iconic poofy dresses and star wand all contributed to the kawaii aesthetic of magical girls, influencing the shoujo genre.

Shugo Chara!​

Shugo Chara! is one of those series that many people know for its cute designs and the inclusion of magical boy characters. Image via Shutterstock
Shugo Chara! involves elementary school girl Amu Hinamori who, on the outside appears lively and outgoing, is actually introverted and shy. This original series was published through Nakayoshi from 2006 to 2009 with an added sequel series published in 2010.
One day, when she wishes to be a better version of herself, she discovers three eggs in her bed that hatch into her guardians. With these guardian characters, she’s able to have a full out magical girl transformation complete with a new outfit and special powers. Shugo Chara! not only has kawaii magical girls, but it also has magical boy characters such as the striking catboy, Ikuto Tsukiyomi.

Tokyo Mew Mew​

“Mew Mew style, Mew Mew grace, Mew Mew Power in your face!”
Tokyo Mew Mew is another big magical girl anime but with a twist! Published in Nakayoshi from 2000 to 2003, Tokyo Mew Mew gave us the magical catgirl we always wanted. The story begins with five girls who were infused with the DNA of endangered animals, giving them special powers to protect the earth from aliens.
Each girl transforms into a ‘Mew Mew’ with a mandatory magical girl transformation. The main character, Ichigo Momomiya, transforms into Mew Mew Ichigo (ichigo also means strawberry in Japanese) with the DNA of an iriomote cat. The other five Mew Mews each have their own transformation with special animal powers as well.
Their names are Mew Mew Mint, Mew Mew Lettuce, Mew Mew Pudding, and Mew Mew Zakuro (also known as Mew Mew Pomegranate). Whew, that’s a lot of Mew Mews but each girl represents different abilities and portrays the power of friendship.
Nakayoshi continues to publish Tokyo Mew Mew related works, like the 2003 to 2004 sequel as well as an all-new spinoff series called Tokyo Mew Mew Olé! that focuses on a new team of male Mew Mews.

On top of Sailor Moon, Nakayoshi also published the insanely popular Pretty Cure series and a classic from the same creator as Astro Boy. Image via Shutterstock

Princess Knight​

Let’s go back in time to Japan in the 60’s where Princess Knight was shaking up the manga world. One of the earlier manga to be released in Nakayoshi, Princess Knight is definitely one to remember.
The first remake was serialized as a sequel in Nakayoshi in 1958, with a third remake running from 1963 to 1966. Written by the same creator of Astro Boy, Osamu Tezuka, many think of it as the very first story manga for girls in Japan.
The plot revolves around Sapphire, a princess born with both a boy’s heart and a girl’s heart due to a mischievous angel. She is then raised as a prince since she was reported as a boy at her birth by mistake.
Because of Sapphire’s androgynous looks, she is both able to fight evil disguised as a prince and have a love interest with a prince named Franz. The idea of gender-bending, used greatly in Princess Knight, would then become a common trope in both shoujo and magical girl stories.
From Sailor Moon to Princess Knight, these are only a few examples of the many manga that Nakayoshi has published. Each one has its own kawaii characters and innovative stories that left an impact on multiple generations.
Are phonebook manga magazines like Nakayoshi still important today? Did we miss any of your favorites? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Get to Know the Sailor Scouts Part 1 :The Inner Planets​

By Serena

March 11, 2022

By now most people in the world have heard of or seen Sailor Moon, she has brand recognition that rivals Mickey Mouse and Hello Kitty. But, just because many people have heard of her, that doesn’t mean that everyone really knows about her and the rest of her planetary friends.​

That is understandable considering the series is quite spread out among storylines, mediums, and time. 美少女戦士セーラームーン also known as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon or Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon in English, written by Naoko Takeuchi, got its start technically in 1991 when it was serialized in Nakayoshi Comics. Though the idea and the basis of the series started earlier in 1991 with the series called Codename: Sailor V. The same Sailor V, or Sailor Venus, that shows up in the Sailor Moon universe. Check here for more information about the legend herself, Naoko Takeuchi.
In the first part of the series we meet the main character Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts or Sailor Soldiers for the rest of the inner planets closest to the sun. Here is a run down of all of those Sailor Scouts.

Sailor Moon – Usagi Tsukino​

Sailor Moon as she appears on the cover of the first volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
Our main character and the one at the heart of this story is Sailor Moon. She has gone by many names throughout her very long and reincarnated life. Originally born as Princess Serenity in the Moon Kingdom, she was later sent to Earth where she was reborn as a young Japanese girl named Usagi Tsukino. When translated and localized in English speaking countries her name was sometimes changed to Serena Tsukino, taken from her original name Serenity.
Our present day Usagi starts the story as a 14 year old middle school student who loves comics, video games, eating, and sleeping. Which is pretty relatable if you ask me. Her grades are average at best, and she is really just concerned with living a fun life with her friends. Many consider her an “airhead” and she often is the butt of many jokes in her friend groups.
After getting the power to transform into Sailor Moon she matures more with every new struggle or battle she faces. She demonstrates time and time again her strength and willingness to do what she must to protect those around her. She is fiercely loyal to her friends and fights for the safety of her planet. Since she is the main character, we have compiled more information about Sailor Moon for those who are still curious about her.

Sailor Mercury – Ami Mizuno​

Sailor Mercury as she appears on the cover of the second volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
Sailor Mercury’s name in the original series is Ami Mizuno, localized to Amy Anderson in some English versions. She is a classmate of Usagi and the first Sailor Scout that she befriends. Ami is a classic “bookworm,” as she is shy and often talks about studying and her grades.

Sailor Mercury’s powers are water based due to the Japanese mythology which has named the planet Mercury as suisei, 水星 using the kanji characters for water 水 and for star 星. When she transforms into Sailor Mercury, her analytical nature comes in handy since many of the series plots are shrouded in mystery. Plus it never hurts to have someone who can stay calm and collected during heated battles.

Sailor Mars – Rei Hino​

Sailor Mars as she appears on the cover of the third volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
Sailor Mars’ name in the original series is Rei Hino. It was localized to Raye Hino, as in short for the name Raven. She is the second Sailor Scout Usagi meets and befriends in the series. Rei attends a different private school than Usagi and Ami, and only meets Usagi by riding the same bus as her.
Even though their friendship started by Usagi’s deep admiration for such a “cool girl” on the bus, they often have a rocky relationship and bicker the most among the scouts. For many fans, anime and manga Rei and Usagi have the most differences in characterization of their friendship. Rei lives and works at Azabu Hikawa Shrine with her grandfather and possesses strong psychic and fortune telling abilities.
We took a trip to Azabu Hikawa Shrine so you can see what it is like in real life!

Sailor Jupiter – Makoto Kino​

Sailor Jupiter as she appears on the cover of the fourth volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
The next Sailor Scout that we meet is Sailor Jupiter. Her Japanese name is Makoto Kino but was localized to Lita Kino. She transfers into Juban Middle School where she meets Usagi and Ami. However due to her height she is forced to wear the uniform for her previous school because she can’t find a new one to fit her.
With her height and strength she is often thought to be a “tomboy” by other characters and many fans. This is however contradicted by her personality which comes across as quite feminie. She dreams of getting married and opening a flower shop and belongs to the cooking and gardening club. But that isn’t to say that she isn’t powerful, she is super strong and uses electric and plant based attacks.

Sailor Venus – Minako Aino​

Sailor Venus as she appears as Sailor V in the first volume of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
The last Sailor Scout that we meet in person in the first part of the series is Sailor Venus or Minako Aino, localized as Mina Aiko. Though we are introduced to the mysterious Sailor V from the very beginning of the series as Usagi idolizes her.
Sailor Venus is the first Sailor Scout to learn of their former identity as a Sailor Warrior thanks to the white cat Artemis. Since she predates Sailor Moon, they have very similar character designs. However their personalities are very different as Minako is very smart and hardworking, and even dreams of being a famous pop star.
As Sailor V and Sailor Venus, Minako is the strongest of the scouts since she has had the most training and the most time to get used to her role as a Sailor Scout. She is also the most focussed on the mission at which is to find a special silver crystal and to protect the princess of the moon.

Bonus​

Tuxedo Mask – Mamoru Chiba​

Tuxedo Mask as he appears in the begining of chapter 27 in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
I know this is supposed to be about the Sailor Scouts but a question that is often asked by those who are not familiar with the series is, where is Sailor Earth? Well in short Sailor Moon and the Moon Kingdom looks over and protects Earth. But Earth was not without another protector, Prince Endymion. Prince Endymion ruled on Earth until he fell in love with Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and died trying to protect her and both of their homes.
Prince Endymion was reincarnated on Earth along with the rest of the Sailor Guardians, and also had his memories wiped in the process as well. In the present day of the series he lives as Mamoru Chiba, localized to Darien Shields, as a high school student, while also aiding the Sailor Scouts as Tuxedo Mask.
Fans are often surprised by the change in attitude and personality from manga Mamoru to anime Mamoru since his mischievous and bickering relationship with Usagi is played up. In general he is a handsome and athletic young man with many admirers. He also has a sad past in which he lost his parents after being reborn in the modern age thus leaving him to live and grow up alone.
Enjoyed learning about the Inner Guardians from the Sailor Moon series? Stay tuned for part two where we take a closer look at the Sailor Scouts for the outer planets and Sailor Chibi Moon.

Sailor Moon Places in Real Life​

By Serena

March 08, 2022

Although we love Japanese anime and manga for their fantastical settings and locations, there is something so relatable about stories that take place in locations that exist for us in the real world too. Due to many of such stories taking place in our world, a newer trend has started among anime fans from around the world, the anime pilgrimage trip.​

On your anime pilgrimage trip you can stand where your favorite anime characters would have stood and see the sites that inspired your favorite manga artists and animators. You can spend a day in the neighborhood of an epic fight or a heartwarming moment. For those who live outside of Japan, these pilgrimages can be integral parts of your travel itineraries.
Today we are going to look at 3 places in Tokyo that appear in the Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Crystal universe that just also happen to exist in our universe as well.

Azabu Juban​

To start this list we are going to be looking at one of the most used places in Sailor Moon, Azabu Juban, 麻布十番, the real world location of the fictional life of Sailor Moon’s protagonist, Usagi Tsukino.

Patio Juban in Azabu Juban Tokyo where Sailor Moon and her friends often hung out.
Azabu, 麻布, is a cosmopolitan area with nine residential districts in the Minato Ward in Tokyo. Minato Ward is also where YumeTwins’ headquarters is! Azabu is a trendy area with many shopping areas, good food, and beautiful sites to see. Azabu Juban is one of those nine residential districts in Azabu and is where Usagi lives and goes to school. Coincidentally it is also where Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi lives as well.

Azabu Juban has been described as, “An upscale neighborhood with a downtown vibe” according to Go Tokyo. There are many beautiful neighborhoods that go into high price ranges. The area also houses many foreign embassies so it is quite multicultural as well!
Ms. Takeuchi included a lot of real world locations from Azabu in the Sailor Moon series. While some of them are direct copies, some of the names and the kanji for the names have been altered a bit.

Azabu Juban Station​

This subway station and transportation hub was kept the same when put into the Sailor Moon universe. This is a real subway station that you can take going in and out of the area in your everyday life. Azabu Juban Station is about 15 minutes away from the popular Shibuya Station.
Another location in Azabu that appears in the series is the school that Usagi attends, Juban Middle School and Juban Municipal High School. Neither of these schools really exists but there is a Azabu Junior and Senior High School in the Azabu District. This real life school is an all boys private prep school with a highly competitive entrance rate. Considering Usagi was known for her low grades, even if the school was co-ed, there is very little chance she would be able to attend.

The Azabu Hikawa Shrine that became the inspiration for the Hikawa Shrine that Sailor Mars lives and works at in the Sailor Moon sereies.

Azabu Hikawa Shrine​

Within the city of Azabu is the very real Azabu Hikawa Shrine that the very fictional Sailor Mars or Rei Hino works and lives at. Located in another one of the nine residential districts, Motoazabu, Azabu Hikawa Shrine is a Shinto Shrine with history that dates back to 938.
In the series, Sailor Guardian Rei works as a shrine maiden at the Hikawa Shrine that is managed by her grandfather. However, the name has been slightly altered for the Sailor Moon series.
In the real world Hikawa uses these two kanji characters, 氷 and 川 for the name. 氷 read as “hi” meaning ice, 川 read as “kawa” meaning river, 神社. However for the Sailor Moon series they changed the first character that reads as “hi,” to 火 which can also be read as “hi” but the meaning is fire.
This kanji change makes sense considering Sailor Mars’ fire powers and the fact that her own last name of Hino, 火野, uses the same fire kanji character.

Although we can not meet the real Rei Hino at this shrine, they do acknowledge their famous fictional worker at the shrine. To the right of the honden, or main building where the god is kept, is a small stall where you can buy omikuji (sacred lots). They have hung a small Sailor Mars plushie in the window of the stall for visitors to see. Sakuraco has a guide to Shinto shrines in Japan for those who would like more information about the sacred world.

Tokyo Tower​

By far the most famous locations and tourist attraction that was used in Sailor Moon is Tokyo Tower. Though to be honest, Tokyo Tower does show up in almost every piece of media that is set in Tokyo. Sailor Moon was created and finished before Tokyo SkyTree was built, making it the tallest broadcasting tower in Japan at the time.

Tokyo Tower, one of the many symbols of Japan seen through blooming cherry blossom trees on a spring day.
At the time of its construction, Tokyo Tower filled a need for a centralized broadcasting system and a power symbol to prove its technological advancement to the world. Since then, it has solidified itself along with Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms as symbols of Japanese culture. On a clear, beautiful day make sure you visit the observation decks 150 meters and 250 meters above ground level.
Want more Sailor Moon places to visit during your next trip to Japan? Make sure you check out the YumeTwins tour of The Sailor Moon Store in Harajuku, Tokyo as well. The flagship store is located right next to the famous Meiji Shrine which is dedicated to Emperor Meiji.
What places are you hoping to go to when you visit Japan?

YumeTwins Sailor Moon Store Tour 2022​

By Serena

March 06, 2022

Aside from being the setting of many popular anime and manga stories, Tokyo has some of the best spots for anime fans! Some may consider Akihabara to be the central hub of anime, manga, and game ‘nerdom’, but that’s not the only place.​

Fans of shojo and magical girl genres might want to set their sights on another popular tourist destination, Harajuku. Despite its reputation, Harajuku is not just the place for seeing wild fashion, it’s a great place to shop for branded kawaii goods.

La Foret Harajuku​

The Sailor Moon Store in La Foret Harajuku is where fandom meets kawaii. Opened in 2018, the flagship store is actually 2 separate stores on the B.5 level of this fashion forward mall and central hub of Harajuku fashion. The store is extremely popular with Sailor Moon fans since it is the first and only permanent Sailor Moon store open in Japan. Read our blog here for a tour of the Sailor Moon Store when it first opened.

La Foret Harajuku is just off the famous Takeshita Street, on the opposite side from Harajuku Station. It is also home to many lolita fashion brand stores like Angelic Pretty, Alice and the Pirates from Baby the Stars Shine Bright, and Metamorphose. Another anime famous for fashion, fans of the NANA anime and manga might also be interested in the Vivienne Westwood store located on the ground floor of this shopping center.

The Pink Store​

Like we mentioned earlier, The Sailor Moon Store is actually 2 different stores right across from each other. One of these stores has pink decor and is very lively with kawaii goods. At this store you can find plush toys, home goods, accessories, manga, DVDs, and more. Goods span across the original 90s anime, the newer Sailor Moon Crystal, the stage performances, and even the live action TV series.

Not just Sailor Moon but Sailor Mercury, Tuxedo Mask, and even the outer planets all have goods at this shop. They also have an elaborate display of non-purchasable Sailor Moon items behind the counter to make every Sailor Moon collector just a little bit jealous.
Sailor Neptune’s, or Michiru Kaio’s, birthday is March 6th, so there was also a table display dedicated to her at the entrance of the store. Another fun thing about this store is the music playing. “Moonlight Densetsu” is a great song but I imagine I would go crazy hearing it on a loop in the store if they played it. Instead they play songs from the many Sailor Moon musicals and stage performances.

Since these performances are only put on in Japan with limited ticket sales, this can be a fun chance to experience the music for those unable to go see it live. What if you like the music? Well they sell the DVDs and Blurays of many of the performances in the store!

The Blue Store​

Across the walkway is a darker more mature Sailor Moon store that sells more of their high priced items. Here you can find roomwear and other clothes, as well as cosplay and purses. In a glass case there is medium to high end jewelry and hair styling tools. This half of the store has a mannequin in full Sailor Moon cosplay!

Jewerly and accessories from the blue side of the Sailor Moon Store in a display case.
In addition to the beautiful Sailor Moon inspired jewelry there are many collaborations fashion items including Luna and Diana bathrobe from P-Bandai and Sailor Moon Crystal inspired lingerie sets from PEACH JOHN.
Outside of the blue store is also where you will find the Sailor Moon themed gashapon, or capsule toy machines. The prizes range from ¥300 to ¥800 and include things like keychains, figures, coasters, and stickers.

Window Display​

The fun doesn’t just stop at the two stores either! Around the corner from the blue Sailor Moon Store is their window display. The installation is changed out regularly to reflect current Sailor Moon information and collaborations.
Some notable displays include the Sailor Moon Wedding collaboration spread from the wedding venue Arc en Ciel and Sailor Moon wedding dresses by Maria Rosa. Another display showed the Sailor Moon x Alice and the Pirates Princess Serenity Dress Set that was also available for purchase.

I don’t know about you, but Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon is one of our favorite series, and this is one of our favorite stores in Harajuku. When you get to visit, don’t forget to get a point card and start earning points! With all of these kawaii stores in Harajuku we know it can be hard on the credit card and bank account! Make sure you plan accordingly when coming to visit. What store are you looking forward to visiting in Harajuku?

CLAMP Anime and Manga: A Magical, Mysterious Universe​

By Linh

March 04, 2022

If you’re a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura, it’s impossible not to know about CLAMP – a famous all-female manga authors group with many lifelong works. But do you know about the other outstanding works of CLAMP? Today we’ll introduce to you everything you need to know about CLAMP and the CLAMP manga and anime universe!

CLAMP: The Queen of Shojo​

CLAMP was born in 1989 as a group of 12 female manga artists specializing in drawing doujinshi, which means creating stories based on the plots and characters of famous manga works (like fan-fiction for manga).
It wasn’t until 1990 that they started creating manga on their own when some members left the group to pursue their own plans. Their earlier works include: Man of Many Faces, Tokyo Babylon, and Clamp School Defenders

Much like every big piece Japanese anime and manga, CLAMP got started by publishing their manga in manga magazines like this one! Image via Shutterstock
At this point, there are only four official members of CLAMP: Ohkawa Nanase (leader, script & content writer), Mokona (lead artist, colorist, art designer), Tsubaki Nekoi (illustrator), and Satsuki Igarashi (designer).
CLAMP’s manga doesn’t just have fascinating storylines. They also vary in genres from childish and comedic to tragic, dramatic stories giving deep lessons that are more for teenagers and adults.
In terms of art design and brush strokes, CLAMP is very meticulous in its works, from creating character costumes to shading with characteristic drawings. If you are a fan of CLAMP comics, you’ll immediately recognize their comic works by just skimming a few frames!

The CLAMP Universe’s Most Popular Works​

With many well-known manga works, most CLAMP manga series are adapted into anime, turning the manga lovers into CLAMP anime lovers too.

Cardcaptor Sakura​

This is probably CLAMP’s most famous manga series, widely loved by women, both children and adults all over the world. Of course, there are plenty of guys who like the series too.
The story follows a 10-year-old girl in 4th grade named Sakura Kinomoto who accidentally discovers a set of magical cards called Clow Cards in a book, accidentally releasing them into the world.
She is then tasked with collecting the cards to prevent dangerous catastrophes that threaten to destroy the world. Sakura has a close friend named Tomoyo, who was also the first to know Sakura as a cardcaptor. Later, the young boy Syaoran appeared, becoming Sakura’s “rival”.

Who could ever bring themselves to be Sakura’s rival when she’s this cute? Certainly not Hatsune Miku! Image via Shutterstock
And we can’t forget one of the cutest Cardcaptor Sakura characters, Kero-chan. He is Sakura’s guide along this whole adventure.
Cardcaptor Sakura was made into an anime series, first making its appearance in Japan in 1998. It was widely recognized for its unique storyline and creative drawing style. In 2001, Cardcaptor Sakura was awarded the Seiun Award for the Best Comic Series.

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle​

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle is a manga that reuses characters that are familiar to the audience from several of CLAMP’s popular manga.
The story is about Sakura, the princess of Clow Kingdom, who has the ability to see mysterious objects. One day, she visits her childhood friend Syaoran at the excavation site where he works. There, she sees a strange symbol and gets sucked into it when a pair of wings appear behind her back.
Syaoran tries to pull her back from the strange symbol but suddenly her wings fly away, making Sakura lose consciousness. A mage named Yukito (another Cardcaptor Sakura character) appears, saying that the wings are the princess’s memory, and without them, Sakura will die soon.

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronice’s Combined Universe​

So, Yukito sends Syaoran to get help from Yuuko (xxxHolic) – “the witch of space” – to find the feathers of Sakura’s memory that have been lost in another dimension. Joining their journey are Fai, a wizard who left his world to escape the evil king; Kurogane, a ninja banished from his world by Princess Tomoyo (Cardcaptor Sakura); and Mokona (Magic Knight Rayearth & xxxHolic).
The series is highly praised by both Japanese and foreigners audiences, but this can be confusing for young readers.
Actually, the Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle hasn’t ended yet. Although a completed part 2 was released, it left many big questions for readers of this series.

xxxHolic​

Anyone who’s read xxxHolic or Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles knows about the iconic character, Yuuko. Image via Shutterstock
xxxHolic is a story about Watanuki Kimihiro, a high school boy with a special ability to see spirits. The story begins with a chase that pushes Watanuki away from the ghosts, stepping into a strange shop that specializes in granting people’s wishes. Wantanuki wants to get rid of his supernatural vision so he agreed to pay for his wish by working for Yuuko Hajiwara, the owner of the shop.
xxxHolic is an important series in the CLAMP universe because it contains many mysteries and explanations for other series as well. This manga series blends the humor from Carcaptor Sakura and the mystery from Tsubasa while still managing to keep its very own color.
This is a series worth reading whether you are a fan of CLAMP or not. It’s also one of the series geared towards young men, as opposed to shoujo anime for young women. However, it’s a pity that xxxHolic also has never made a comeback for a long time like Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.

Magic Knight Rayearth​

In this classic magical girl anime, Fate has tied up 3 high school girls – Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu. On a day when the three are at Tokyo Tower, a light flashed, and they all disappeared. When they opened their eyes, they realized they had been transported to the world of Cephiro.
There they met Clef, Cephiro’s mage, who told them they were the magical knights of legend – prophesied to protect Cephiro’s pillar, Princess Emeraude. To return to their own world, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu must become “miracle knights” to save Princess Emeraude who is being held by Zagato. But behind this story there is a hidden truth.
Although there might be some emotional intensity and violent scenes, in general, this series is an easy-to-follow and standard series that even young children can enjoy.

Kobato​

Kobato is a story about a strange girl named Kobato, who has an extremely innocent view of the world. She has a secret “mission” to fill the glass vase with the suffering hearts of other people. In order to collect these hearts, she will have to heal their wounds first.
Kobata is one of the most loved series of CLAMP because of its well-established and healing story plot. Like many other CLAMP manga series, Kobato, composed of sad stories of many different fates, helps to deliver a positive message about life: at the end of every pain, there is always a warm and bright light watching over us.

Clover​

The story revolves around Clover‘s world, governed by 5 spells. The government here seeks to control people who have special powers, with a “clover” tattoo marking these people. The 1-pointed leaf is the weakest level and the strongest is the 4-pointed leaf.
Being a 4-leaf clover with unusual strength, Sue was imprisoned by the government to prevent her from contacting other people. The story follows Kazuhiko, who is assigned to escort Sue to a place she needs to go. On the escort road, various dangers arise. With the help of Ran, another clover, Kazuhiko tries to help Sue achieve her wish.
Clover published in Amie magazine between 1997-1999 but had to stop due to many objective reasons. In 2014, the official website’s introduction to the work put Clover on the list of completed manga, even though the series was only halfway through 4 volumes, causing controversy in the international CLAMP fandom.

CLAMP’s Legacy​

CLAMP’s legacy is one that even leans into iconic shows like Code Geass. Image via Shutterstock
CLAMP is still considered to be a monument in the magical manga and anime world with unlimited creativity and epic series, taking us to mysterious and strange new worlds. That’s why they were even asked to provide character designs for the show Code Geass.
If you ever read a CLAMP manga, you’ll find yourself wishing you were one of their characters with the same amazing power, exploring these magical worlds.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Cute Japanese Stationery to Kawaii-fy You Life

Cute Japanese Stationery to Kawaii-fy You Life​

By Kim Kahan

March 01, 2022

It’s nearly back-to-school season in Japan (Japanese schools start in April), which means that there’s plenty of cute Japanese stationery on sale. So let’s have a look at some super cute kawaii (cute, again) stationery that you’ll love to make a whole set of.

Pencil Case – Squishy Cat Pencil Case​

Okay, so first things first you’ll be wanting the cutest pencil case, right? This pencil case ticks off everything ‘kawaii.’ The pastel color (whether you fancy pink, green or purple), the cute animal, and the squishiness! How adorable.

Cardcaptor Sakura Characters: A Main Character Intro Guide​

By Linh

March 01, 2022

If you love Japanese pop culture, especially anime and manga, you must have heard of or even been a big fan of Cardcaptor Sakura. Originally written in 1996 by CLAMP, Cardcaptor Sakura still remains one of the most popular magical girl anime and manga series of all time. Its unique and adorable character lineup is definitely one the biggest attractions contributing to the series’ success! Let’s look through the main Cardcaptor Sakura characters of the series again to see if you still remember their charms!

Sakura Kinomoto​

Our protagonist is a 10-year old girl studying at Tomoeda Elementary School. Sakura is a cute young girl with big bright eyes, small plump lips, and short hair that hugs her chubby face.
Despite being the guardian of the Clow cards and potentially the strongest magician in the Cardcaptor universe, Sakura is indeed just like any other ordinary girl: innocent, always cheerful yet can be clumsy and clueless sometimes. And according to her older brother, she tends to walk very heavily.
She is also very active and cheerful with slightly tomboyish hobbies like playing sports, roller skating, and playing video games. However, she hates math and is afraid of ghosts.

Why We Love Sakura (and Her Outfits)​

Sakura’s optimistic and reliable personality allows her to be friendly with everyone. She’s very outgoing and gives her all towards the friendships she creates with everyone, whether they’re strangers, acquaintances, or rivals.

Sakura is a popular cosplay and figure option thanks to just how many cute outfits this magical heroine (left) has! Image via Shutterstock
The most impressive thing about Sakura is definitely her outfit collection. Her most iconic everyday outfits are her Japanese school uniform – a sailor-type uniform – and combat outfit, which changes depending on the episode (usually tied to whatever magical cards she has to capture that day).
Thanks to her friend Tomoyo, Sakura always appears adorable and charming every time she takes on a new mission in her Cardcaptor adventures.
If you are looking for a kawaii aesthetic-inspired outfit, we recommend checking out the combat outfit collections of Sakura: from cute animals, like cats or sheep, to cool unique styles, like Prince Charming. It can be said that Sakura’s outfits in every episode is what contributes most to her cuteness! It’s hard to resist falling in love with Sakura as both an amazing Cardcaptor and a lovely cute preteen girl!
Want to learn more about who Cardcaptor Sakura herself is? Check out our other blogs.
Are you a big fan of Cardcaptor Sakura other kawaii (cute) characters? You’ll love what YumeTwins has for you! YumeTwins sends character goods including Japanese plushies, stationary, and many more kawaii goods right to your door, so you can enjoy a magical life at your own convenience!

Tomoyo Daidouji​

She is Sakura’s closest friend and maternal cousin. Like a living doll, she has long, loose, dark violet hair with cute bangs, and big sparkling eyes.
Tomoyo is the daughter of the President of Daidouji Toy Company, Daidouji Sonomi. So, she has a whole team of female bodyguards accompanying her to protect and help wherever she goes. Despite her wealth, she’s never arrogant or conceited because of it. On the contrary, Tomoyo is very affectionate, kind, and generous with everyone.
As for Sakura, she has always had a secret love for her friend as you can tell through her attentive care towards Sakura.

Tomoyo (left) may not be as popular of a cosplay option, but she’s just as cute and is a great option for anyone going with a Sakura cosplayer. Image via Shutterstock

Why We Love Tomoyo​

In the Japanese version, she always speaks using formal conjugations and expressive expressions, giving her an air of sophistication & uniqueness among the characters.
Tomoyo was the first to know Sakura was a Cardcaptor and kept this secret. She also took charge of filming Sakura’s battles and enjoys making costumes for Sakura to wear in each battle. In addition, she is also one of Sakura’s most effective supporters with her keen intelligence, exquisite observation ability, and boundless enthusiasm for her close friend.
Who wouldn’t love to have such a lovely and encouraging friend like Tomoyo in real life, right? That’s what makes her one of the most adorable Cardcaptor Sakura characters in the whole series.

Cerberus (or Keruberosu)​

Keruberosu, which is often shortened to Kero-chan or Kero, is the summoned beast that rules over the Fire and Earth Clow cards, with his symbol being the Sun. Kero was assigned by Clow Reed, the creator of the Clow cards, to find a new owner for the cards when he died.
After Sakura accidentally released the cards, Kero selected her as a candidate and taught her the basics of capturing cards.
His true form is pretty stunning – a giant leopard or lion-like creature having huge wings and wearing a beautifully decorated armor plate. However, you’ll mostly see him in a cuter version since he usually disguises himself as a yellow stuffed animal with small white wings.

If you’re lucky enough to visit the Cardcaptor Sakura cafe, you can see this little guy in ice cream form too! Image via Shutterstock

Why We Love Kero​

Kero is quite bossy, demanding, and has a great appetite, but he really cares about Sakura and believes that she will become the next owner of the Clow cards. That’s why he acts as a guide for Sakura as her magical powers develop.
Because the Clow deck was located in Osaka for a long time, naturally Kero speaks with an Osaka dialect, known for its relaxed manner and unique slang words. In stuffed animal form, Kero speaks in a high-pitched, child-like voice, but in his full form, his voice drops to an adult-like low. It is the duality between the two sides of Kero that makes him stand out among all of the Cardcaptor Sakura characters as both funny and entertaining to watch!

Syaoran Li​

Syaoran Li is another main character of the series and a distant relative of Clow Reed – creator of the Clow cards. As a member of the Li clan in Hong Kong, to which Clow’s mother was a member, Li Syaoran believes that he is the rightful owner of the Clow cards and not Sakura.
Syaoran has short, chestnut hair and large, amber eyes. Unlike Sakura who is always active, Syaoran is a kind, shy, gentle boy who learns magic, reads the books Clow Reed wrote, and hates Japanese grammar. His magical abilities means that he fits into the magical boy anime character type as well!
Syaoran first appeared as Sakura’s rival in the story, capturing a few strong cards for himself (and with the help of his cousin in the anime). His initial attitude towards her was cold, critical, and awkward, to the point of never even calling her by her first name until the third season. In fact, he often bluntly criticized her for her shortcomings and clumsiness.

Sure, Syaoran was a little cold, but Sakura quickly won him over as an ally with her charm. Image via Shutterstock

Why We Love Syaoran​

However, as the series progresses, and especially after Sakura is officially made the new master of the cards, Syaoran abandons his antagonistic attitude, and becomes a trusted ally and a dear friend.
As they spend more time together, Syaoran begins to develop intimate feelings for Sakura and becomes annoyed when she pays a lot of attention to another guy. You might think he is a bad guy at first, but you’ll realize he is actually a cool kid with a heart of gold as he gradually matures throughout the series.
Each of the Cardcaptor Sakura characters is charming and loveable with their own unique personalities and adorable look. That’s what lands this show in many people’s top 5 shoujo anime (young women’s anime) list.Who is your favorite main character in Cardcaptor Sakura?

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Jump Into the World of Cardcaptor Sakura

Jump Into the World of Cardcaptor Sakura​

By Serena

February 26, 2022

Love, hate, or feel indifferent to them, as long as there are hero stories there will continue to be their counterpart; magical girls and their stories. You know the ones, girls using the power of love, justice, friendship, and magic to fight bad guys while looking extremely cute and marketable. Girls who are just trying to go to school and live a normal life while also saving the world in between classes.​

Believe it or not, the magical girl genre actually got its start in the 1960s when two iconic series were created, Sally The Witch, and The Secrets of Akko-chan. Both of these stories featured young female protagonists who were able to use some form of magic to help others while still showing the daily struggle of young, modern girls.
The magical girl genre looks a little different today. Modern magical girls in anime and manga are characters like Sailor Moon and the Sailor Guardians, Cardcaptor Sakura, and the young girls from Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Pretty Cure or PreCure.

Who is Cardcaptor Sakura?​

We are going to focus on one of these iconic and influential magical girls, Cardcaptor Sakura. As iconic as she is, it’s okay if you don’t know a lot or remember much about her.
For starters, the series is about a young girl named Sakura Kinomoto who stumbles upon some magical cards called Clow Cards and accidentally releases them across Tokyo. We follow her on her quest to capture the cards and restore balance to both Western and Eastern inspired magic.
We go into more depth and detailed information about Sakura Kinomoto and Cardcaptor Sakura so check it out if you have more questions. But, if you think every magical girl and their stories are the same, you are mistaken my friend. We have also broken down Cardcaptor Sakura and what makes her different from other magical girls, so feel free to check that out as well.

Are you a modern day magical girl with a love for kawaii goods? Check out YumeTwins for your monthly dose of anime and kawaii goods delivered right to your door!​

What is CLAMP?​

The stylization of the character designs and the overall feel of Cardcptor Sakura and related works definitely speaks to the cohesion of CLAMP’s works. But what or who is CLAMP? Not a lot is known about the specific members of CLAMP due to their private nature but we do know that they are an all female manga creator group that currently has four members.

Image Source
CLAMP has been called some of the best known manga artists from Japan both in and outside the country. Any fan of Japanese culture in North America or Europe, for instance, will surely recognize their name. They are also credited as helping bring the manga boom to America in the early to mid 2000s.

The CLAMP group has brought us not only Cardcaptor Sakura and Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card but also Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Chobits, and Magic Knight Rayearth. They also supplied the character designs for Code Geass as well. For those who want more information about CLAMP, we have an article chock full of interesting tidbits, like what the CLAMP name means.

The Fashion​

One thing that really resonates with fans of Cardcaptor Sakura and other magical girl series like Sailor Moon is the attention that is paid to the outfits and costumes of the characters. Not only do they break up the monotony of a long and drawn out adventure, but they provide fans with an endless supply of cosplay possibilities.

Unlike other magical girls and heroes, Cardcaptor Sakura does not have one hero costume, nor does she have a costume that levels up with her progress. Sakura has actual costumes that are made by her very rich and very supportive best friend Tomoyo, and they change for every battle.
Another great thing that Cardcaptor Sakura does and that Sailor Moon does as well is how the characters have an eye for fashion. I am not talking about their battle clothes or their school uniform, but their casual clothes. Usagi Tsukino as well as the rest of the cast of Sailor Moon, much like Sakura, often look like they are starring in clothing ads for popular looks of their day.

There are of course the recognizable costumes like her school uniform that doesn’t really change much and a few costumes worn in the opening theme. With the help of cosplayers, we made a list of the top 7 Cardcaptor Sakura costumes.

The Cafe​

Not good with a sewing machine? Another fun way to interact with Cardcaptor Sakura is through the theme cafes and events that are held. Although the original Cardcaptor Sakura manga and anime came out in the early 2000s, the continuation series, Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card, came out more recently in 2017. This second series puts new energy into the series and the fandom.

We can see this new energy play out in the theme cafes that have popped up around Tokyo since the release of the second series. In 2018 a Cardcaptor Sakura Cafe opened up near Tokyo SkyTree in Sumida, Tokyo. The cafe was “run” by our lovable yellow mentor Kero-chan and his favorite takoyaki, or battered and fried octopus balls, were featured heavily on the menu. There were also sweet things like fruit salads, foamy drinks with latte art, and ice cream. Check out TokyoTreat’s review of the kawaii 2018 Cardcaptor Sakura Kerochan Pop-up Cafe.
Another Cardcaptor Sakura theme cafe opened in 2021 focusing on the Clear Card series. Again, takoyaki was featured for a Kero-chan inspired dish but there were a lot more options for those not fond of octopus. Check out YumeTwins’ review of Cardcaptor Sakura Cafe “Colorful à la mode” here. Looking for other kawaii places to eat in Japan? Check out this guide to Harajuku cafes.

From the characters, to the storyline, to the makers and the fandom, what is your favorite thing about Cardcaptor Sakura?

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Japanese School Uniforms: A School Symbol of Youth

Japanese School Uniforms: A School Symbol of Youth​

By Linh

February 25, 2022

If you’ve ever been to Japan, you’ll notice that school uniforms appear everywhere, from young boys and girls in uniforms strolling on the streets to anime, manga, advertising, and TV shows. Apart from its original intention as a uniform, Japanese school uniforms have become a way for students to express their individuality and ace the kawaii aesthetic by coordinating their whole outfit from the shirt and skirt to the accessories–ties, bags, and all.

The Origin of School Uniforms in Japan​

Japanese uniforms were introduced almost 155 years ago with the initial purpose of closing the gap between the rich and the poor, as well as connecting students in schools. The first student uniform design was created during the Meiji period: a shirt with kimono (traditional Japanese robes) and hakama pants (pants that look like pleated skirts).
After that, when Western culture came to Japan, school uniforms experienced many changes in its style and design, some of which students are still wearing today.

The Japanese Schoolboy Uniform​

The black parts of the Demon Slayer uniform are actually stylized versions of boys’ early uniforms. Image via Shutterstock
Gakuran is the name given to uniforms worn by Japanese schoolboys, whose design was originally inspired by European military uniforms. The Gakuran’s color is usually black, but some schools also use navy and dark blue.
Gakuran stands out with a collared white shirt combined with an outer vest having a high and stiff collar, buttoned all the way to the neck. Pants with dark belts, leather shoes, or sports shoes will complete the standard look of this uniform for boys in Japan. Many boys these days wear white t-shirts or their school’s P.E. shirt under their jackets too.
Also, because of Japan’s hot summer climate and cold winter climate, there are usually summer and winter versions of uniform styles. In summer, boys switch to a short-sleeved, collared shirt with no jacket.
Inspired by the kawaii Japanese school uniform look? YumeTwins sends everything from Japanese plushies to stationery and more to your door every month, so you can have all the accessories needed for a kawaii lifestyle, in or out of school!

Did you know that…?​

One of the most interesting things about Japanese school uniforms is their role in school love lives. After graduating from high school, girls can confess their feelings to their crush by asking for a “daini” button – the second button on the gakuran shirt. If the guy has the same feelings, he’ll remove the second button and give it to the girl as a confession of love.
In other cases, male students can also give it to their lover if the two are already a couple. The reason for choosing the second button on the shirt is because it’s the button closest to the heart – being a presentation of young love during the high school years.

In recent years, many schools also use a blazer and tie uniform for boys, but the tradition still persists. Image via Shutterstock

Japanese Schoolgirl Uniforms​

Unlike schoolboy uniforms, Japanese schoolgirl uniforms (especially high school uniforms) are more diverse, with different types and styles depending on the school.

Sailor uniforms​

This is the first design for schoolgirl uniforms, being the one with the longest history in Japan. Appearing around 1920, sailor uniforms were inspired by sailors’ outfits in the navy, including sailor collar shirts, pleated skirts, and accessories like neckerchiefs or detachable bows.
Nowadays, not many high schools adopt this style of school uniform anymore, but it’s still the main trend when it comes to Japanese school uniform cosplay.

You may notice that these people are too old to be students. One tip-off is the makeup. Students aren’t allowed to wear makeup with their school uniforms. Image via Shutterstock

Blazer​

Highly regarded for its stylishness, blazer and skirt uniforms have been popular since the 1990s and are the most popular type of uniform in Japan nowadays. Girls usually wear a collar shirt tied with a cute ribbon or a blouse under a knit or V-neck sweater vest to dress up the blazer.
Ideally, coupling a blazer with a shorter skirt (or one shorter than the old sailor uniform’s skirt) will make you look cuter. However, a pleated skirt around the knee is more suitable to wear at schools.

Jumper Style Skirt​

As the name suggests, this is a one-piece dress without sleeves. So, girls usually wear long or short sleeve blouses underneath based on the season, sometimes adding a cute ribbon. Jumper style skirts generally offer a girlish look, and when combined with a bolero jacket, becomes more stylish.
Because of the ease of movement, this used to be a popular summer uniform at many schools around Japan, especially elementary schools. However, in recent years, since fashion has outweighed the importance of function, jumper skirt uniforms are seen less in Japanese high schools.

Bolero Jacket​

Bolero is the general name for cropped jackets that come to just above the hips, ending around the waistline or shorter with no buttons in front. As a uniform, the bolero jacket is mainly worn over the jumper skirt mentioned above in winter.
The bolero and jumper skirt combo also appears a lot in anime (especially magical girl anime) and is common for Princess-type characters since this style gives a more feminine vibe than other uniforms. In fact, the bolero uniform is not as common as sailor or blazer uniforms, but it’s still popular among fancier schools for those with a good family background.

The bolero style isn’t so common these days, but the shirt commonly worn underneath is still common for school uniforms. Image via Shutterstock

Eton school style uniform​

Eton is a famous college in England with many well-known alumni. ‘Eton jackets’ are the collarless coat uniforms that are usually seen in elementary or secondary schools in Japan. However, generally speaking, the Eton jacket is not that common as a uniform outside of private schools.

The World of Uniform Accessories​

Japanese schoolgirl uniforms have a unique feminine, pure, and graceful impression. Dispelling worries about students’ expression of individuality, today’s Japanese uniforms are often creatively combined with many accessories. Many students learn how to accessorize from their friends and quickly master it.

Cardigan and Vest​

In the winter, a lot of students wear wool cardigans and sweater vests under their coats to keep warm and look fashionable at the same time. The colors can be gray, milky, navy blue, white, pink, and more. But usually, they’re gray or caramel colors.

Vests, cardigans, and bows are really common style options for students these days, with some of the more stylish anime characters in school dramas rocking them too. Image via Shutterstock

Socks​

The socks worn with the uniform are usually black, navy blue, or white with a length below the knee. Some schools have strict rules about the length and color of socks, but most often allow students to choose according to their preferences.
The socks that Japanese students usually wear have changed over the years. There are not only socks to keep feet warm in winter, but also change the overall outfit. One type of sock that is also quite popular is the 2/3 length from the knee to the heel.
Plus, there’s a pretty cool type of sock that Japanese schoolgirls are very fond of, which are cute, ruffled, loose socks also featured in some Japanese street styles, like the 90s Japanese fashion trend: Kogal.

Ribbons and Ties​

Schoolgirls often wear ribbons or ties at the collar, showing their personal taste. Depending on the mood, the girls choose different styles and colors of ribbons and ties as long as they match with other parts of the outfit.

Shoes​

Most students wear black or dark brown loafers. Others choose sneakers. Recently, loafer shoes have been produced with higher heels to help “cheat” the leg length of female students.

Bag​

It may sound strange, but school bags are also school accessories. Some schools designate their own bag style, but many students can choose the type of bag they like. A typical high school bag in Japan is made of leather or plastic and can be a bag or backpack. Students decorate their school bags with keychains or other pretty wearables depending on their personalities and preferences.

A Fashion Trend and Symbol of Youth​

A uniform isn’t just clothing. It’s a symbol of youth that students find ways to personalize, with some even mimicking the look in their fashion after graduating. Image via Shutterstock
For Japanese students, there are ways to use school uniforms to express their own style. Boys often unbutton the top button or roll their sleeves or pant legs to look cooler. Meanwhile, girls love keychains with their idols or favorite characters as bag accessories. BT21 products, from keychains to folders, have been especially popular these past few years.
Japanese students love uniforms as a fashion and beauty standard. So, Japanese schoolgirls wear uniforms not only at school but also when hanging out with friends on weekends as a unique street style.

How is Cardcaptor Sakura Different From Other Magical Girls?​

By Serena

February 22, 2022

What is a Magical Girl​

If you are familiar with Japanese anime and manga then you are probably familiar with the magical girl genre. Stories in this fantasy genre usually have a female main character or group of main female characters that have special powers and can use or process some kind of magic.​

These girls and their relationships with magic and each other form the basis for their stories. This includes how they interact with the world around them and generally right wrongs. Of course, as the genre develops the more nuanced and complex these ideas have become.
The genre came about first by two popular stories in the 1960s, namely Sally the Witch who was based off of the American character Samantha from Bewitched, and The Secrets of Akko-Chan. Both stories were aimed towards girls and feature a young woman with special powers who help others in some way.

The genre has continued to grow since the 60s into today, though modern audiences might be more familiar with series such as Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Check out this blog about why the magical girl genre is one of the most influential genres in anime.

Who Is Cardcaptor Sakura?​

Cardcaptor Sakura is a fantasy story about a young girl named Sakura Kinomoto, who happens upon a book filled with magical cards called Clow Cards. This kick starts her magical quest to capture and control said magic cards.
By finding and capturing the Clow Cards, Sakura can use the power from each card to help her on her quest. We also have more background information on Cardcaptor Sakura, for those who want a deeper look into the series.

How Sakura Kinomoto is Different from other Magical Girls​

Magical girl anime may all seem the same, girls with their flashy outfits and their love of friendship and love of well…love. But that does not mean each of their stories are all the same. Aside from Puella Magi Madoka Magica which is a bit of an outlier since it is a deconstruction of the magical girl genre, most of the magical girl series are pretty similar. How, then, is Cardcaptor Sakura different?

Age​

One of the main and obvious things that sets Sakura apart from other modern magical girls is her age. While other girls are often in junior high or high school, Sakura starts her adventure in elementary school. This makes her one of the youngest protagonists in the modern magical girl genre. Though it is important to note that Sally Yumeno from Sally the Witch from the 1966 series also appears quite young when she enters our world.
By having a younger main character with magical powers Cardcaptor Sakura is able to appeal to an even younger and more impressionable audience. This also means that the things that Sakura goes through in her story are a little different from her older counterparts. Although it is possible to have romantic story lines for young kids, their scope and how they are handled is a bit different from those who are 17 and almost adults.

She Isn’t Fighting Evil​

Another thing that sets Sakura apart from other characters in the genre is the enemy she “fights.” While other magical girls are fighting pure evil incarnated, Sakura is really just dealing with restless spirits that don’t want to be confined or controlled again…and to be honest that’s fair.

The cyclical and repetitive nature of many popular anime and manga series can either feel cohesive and necessary or frustrating and stressful. Cardcaptor Sakura does a good job of making the weekly “villain” trope feel bearable and interesting. These are not just copy and paste villains of the week but unique characters. There are also fewer fillers in each episode such as action hero screams or a transformation sequence. The use of different attacks on said villains also keeps the show feeling like it is moving at a faster pace.

Does Not Transform​

Another big point that separates Sakura from some of the other magical girls is her costume. First of all, the obvious one is that her costumes are actually that, costumes that are made by hand and put on by hand. We don’t really know the mechanics behind how the Sailor Scouts get in and out of their magical outfits other than….magic and glitter?

Sure, Sakura possesses and can use magic to help her in her adventures but that is not extended to shape changing clothes or beams of light that vaporize and materialize clothing. Nope, Sakura has more in common with standard and old school superheroes who need physical costumes.
What she does have though is a very rich best friend with an eye for fashion who has made it her personal mission to make sure Sakura looks good on her missions. That’s right, her best friend Tomoyo makes and provides Sakura with all of her costumes and a large van to change in when she knows she is going on a card capturing mission. Check out our pick for Sakura’s top 7 best costumes.

Impact​

What is Sakura’s Impact on the Real World? Cardcaptor Sakura’s LGBT+ influence has had a profound effect on many of the not only the women and girls who are fans of the series but boys, men, and non binary fans as well. Cardcaptor Sakura has multiple same sex couples portrayed without any mentions of homophobia, along with gender nonconforming characters as well.

In addition to being progressive, the series empowers young girls to stand up for themselves, their beliefs, and the people around them. The show does a good job of telling generations of young girls that emotional strength and kindness is a super power in itself and is just as necessary as something like super strength or speed.
Are there any differences we might have missed in our list? Comment below and let us know.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›5 of Our Favorite Clow Cards and Abilities

5 of Our Favorite Clow Cards and Abilities​

By Serena

February 19, 2022

As the name might suggest, Cardcaptor Sakura is a Japanese animation and manga series about a young girl named Sakura who is on a grand adventure to fight and capture magical cards that contain immense power. Once she has successfully captured a card she is then able to use its power for future situations and battles.​

What Are Clow Cards?​

The cards were created by powerful wizard Clow Reed who used his American & Chinese identity to combine Western & Eastern magic into a set of cards similar to tarot cards. Realizing their power and the danger they pose if they were to fall into the wrong hands, Clow Reed sealed the cards into a book before his death and appointed one of his guardians, Cerberus, to watch over them.
However, as luck would have it, Cerberus fell asleep during his long guarding assignment. This, coupled with the curiosity of our young protagonist Sakura Kinomoto, allowed the cards to break free of their seal and scatter across Tokyo.
As mentioned before, Sakura goes on an adventure to capture these cards and use their power to help her on this journey. The cards lend their powers to Sakura as well as lend their powers to tarot readings that allow Sakura to have a deeper look into the future.
After collecting the cards, Sakura eventually transforms them into Sakura Cards through her own magic abilities. A later series, Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card sees the cards turn blank when Sakura gets older and becomes unable to control her growing magic.
The Clow Cards are present in the anime and manga, but there are some differences in appearance and ability. For starters, the Cardcaptor Sakura manga only names 19 Clow Cards while the anime series has 53 cards.
Check out our article if you want more information about Sakura and the Cardcaptor Sakura series. And without further ado, here are our picks for the top 5 Clow Cards and abilities.

The Windy​

The Windy Card is one of the original 19 Clow Cards that appeared in the manga. It is ruled by the power of the moon and thus falls under the protection of Guardian Yue. This card is also an example of Eastern magic. Windy appears as a beautiful woman with long hair and feathered wings.
Windy is one of the first cards that we encounter in the series. In the manga, Windy returns peacefully back to Sakura and the book after the cards are scattered, but in the anime Sakura accidentally uses Windy when she reads the name of the card, causing the other cards to fly off in a whirlwind. Thus, because she was holding The Windy Card it is one she does not have to go out and capture.
As for her personality, Windy is generally calm and well mannered. She generally does not like to fight so her powers are often used for non attack reasons. Her wind can be used as normal wind to blow things away or to act as a cover and blind others. Windy is also one of the most used cards by Sakura, making her a great ally.

The Fly ​

The Fly Card is made from The Windy Card so it has the same attributes as Windy. It is controlled by the moon and Guardian Yue, it uses Eastern magic, and was one of the original 19 cards from the manga. The Fly Card takes the form of a giant crane-like bird.
There is a bit of a difference in how Fly was captured between the manga and the anime. In the original manga Sakura attempts to catch Fly using the powers of Windy. However, because Fly is made from the same power as Windy this does not work. Sakura eventually learns in a dream that The Fly is actually hurt, so when she returns to capture him she uses The Jump to just hug him to show that she means him no more harm. This touches Fly deeply and he ends up going with Sakura willingly.

This is different from the anime in which The Fly Card is the first card that Sakura catches in the first episode of the anime simply by using Windy. The Fly Card goes on to be one of the most used cards as it can be used as an escape or mode of transportation for Sakura.
The Fly Card normally has a nice temperament, and we learn that he was only causing damage due to being scared and in pain from his injury. Fly can grant the ability of flight to whoever uses it. He often appears as the wings on Sakura’s wand and sometimes on her back to allow her to use his ability together with other cards.

The Sword​

The Sword Card falls under the power of The Firey Card which means that it is under the power of the sun and Western magic. This also means that it is protected by Guardian Cerberus. It was also one of the original 19 cards from the manga.
The Sword Card is one of the more violent cards as it is often shown being chained down. It is also capable of changing form and possession as we first meet it while it is in the form of a brooch and in possession of one of Sakura’s friends, Rika. Through Rika, Sword attacked Sakura and was only able to be defeated when Sakura used The Illusion card to distract Rika and separate her from Sword.
The Sword Card is quite powerful in that it is also able to fight against other cards. For example we see him cut through The Shield Card and pin down The Shadow Card. Although Sword is stronger, it does not do damage against Syaoran’s jian, or Chinese longsword.
Sword normally looks like a European Rapier, which is slender with a two-edged blade, with wings on the hilt and gems in between the hilt wings and one on the pommel. Although this card has a violent nature, it proves to be a powerful and high quality ally to Sakura.

The Mirror​

The Mirror Card falls under the magic of The Earthy Card making it also fall under the power of the sun and protection of Cerberus and Western magic. This card is also one of the original 19 cards from the manga.
The Mirror Card is interesting because at first Mirror was very mischievous. She is a shapeshifter and when we first meet her she is causing mayhem as Sakura. While as Sakura, she tricks and badly hurts Sakura’s older brother Touya by causing him to fall off of a cliff. After being confronted with the real Sakura and the pain that she has caused, coupled with Touya’s forgiving nature she feels deep remorse.
After her capture Mirror goes on to become one of Sakura’s best allies amongst the cards, often taking her place when Sakura needs to sneak away. Mirror is also the only card able to speak to Sakura, so she often speaks on behalf of the other cards without a voice. Due to this unique trait she is also able to give Sakura verbal encouragement during her adventure.

The Dream​

The Dream Card is the first card on this list that is not part of the original 19 cards named in the manga. The Dream falls under the magic of The Dark Card, making it a part of Eastern magic and thus ruled by the moon and guarded by Yue.
The Dream Card has the ability to give a few different types of dreams. She can show people their greatest wishes, a fortune, or their future. In the anime we first meet Dream as a blue butterfly who shows visions to Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo as they tour Tokyo.
Dream gives the most information to Sakura, showing her a battle that she has been dreaming about for a while but from a different angle. When she starts to panic, Dream also tells her through a dream image of herself that she will surely be okay in the future.
We later catch The Dream Card with the help of Syaoron and The Time Card when he realizes that she had The Dream Card, the blue butterfly, stuck under her foot at Tokyo Tower. Although everyone was surprised and a little shaken after their encounter with The Dream Card, it was able to give Sakura more insight into what will come for her and some much needed encouragement.
There are so many different Clow Cards, Sakura Cards, and Clear Cards that it can be hard to keep them straight. But we can definitely agree that some cards are more useful than others.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Magical Boy Anime and Characters We Love to Talk About

Magical Boy Anime and Characters We Love to Talk About​

By Catarina Guedes-Almeida

February 14, 2022

Every anime fan knows about magical girls, but did you know that magical boys and magical boy anime also exist? While there are magical boys that follow the magical girl genre tropes, there are also mysterious yet cute magical boys that deviate from the usual kira-kira (sparkly look キラキラ) we know.

What is a Magical Boy?​

Magical girl anime are all about girls with magical powers fighting evil forces and saving the world through colorful, exciting transformation sequences and girl power. One popular example is Sailor Moon. She gains powers from a magical brooch given to her by a talking black cat named Luna and transitions from junior high school girl Usagi Tsukino to her magical girl outfit-wearing alter ego Sailor Moon. But what about magical boys?

Speaking of Sailor Moon, the show introduced one of the most iconic magical boy anime characters of all time: Tuxedo Mask! Image via Shutterstock
Some of the most well-known magical boy anime characters include the loveable quintet from Cute High Earth Defense Club Love!, known as Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu Love! In Japanese. All five magical boys include Yumoto Hakone, En Yufuin, Atsushi Kinugawa, Io Naruko, Ryuu Zaou, and of course, not to mention the pink wombat who appeared and gave them their magic powers.
Despite being male characters, they embody the magical girl genre from the transformation sequence into color-coordinated costumes to fighting the green hedgehog creature Zundar from conquering Earth.
Want to bring more kawaii to your life? Check out YumeTwins! YumeTwins sends character goods including Japanese plushies, stationery, and much more, right to your door so you can live your best magical girl or boy life.

Another famous magical boy anime called D.N. Angel follows Daisuke Niwa who, on his 14th birthday, undergoes a genetic transformation that turns him into a crime fighting, phantom thief called Dark Mousy. In a romantic twist, he only transforms into his alter ego when thinking about his crush, Risa Harada, and vice versa. A charming, mystical fantasy that portrays a dynamic, unrequited love and a compelling love triangle between Risa, Daisuke, and his alter ego, Dark.
Other notable magical boys include the charming catboy, Ikuto Tsukiyomi from Shugo Chara!, sweet Henri Wakamiya from Precure, and Chrono Harlaown from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. We also can’t leave out the magical boy love interests: Syaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura or Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon.
There are also other male anime characters that you wouldn’t consider to be a part of the magical boy genre, but still retain some of the genre’s aspects.

The Secret Hidden Magical Boys​

It may sound a bit strange, but there are plenty of characters in shounen (boy’s) manga that actually check a lot of the magical girl boxes, like Saint Seiya or Black Clover. Image via Shutterstock
There are magical boys that don’t usually share the kawaii appearance of the usual magical boys, but they are still boys with magical powers! These magical boys are hidden within the shounen (young male) genre. Despite these magical boys deviating from the classic transformation sequence or alter ego, these male characters possess powers needed to fight bad guys and protect the world.

My Hero Academia​

One such example is My Hero Academia. My Hero Academia is one of the most popular anime and manga in recent years. In a world where everyone (well, almost everyone) is born with superpowers called Quirks, there are plenty of boys with somewhat magical powers. Shouto Todoroki for instance has a Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk, giving him powers that control both the fire element and ice.

We know that Midoriya or Todoroki aren’t exactly a mirror to magical girls, but they tick a lot of boxes in the “Action Girl” subgenre for magical girls. Image via Shutterstock
Another character, Eijiro Kirishima, has the ability to harden and sharpen his body which allows him to shield against attacks with his arms. Despite the lack of an alter ego and transformation sequence, Todoroki and Kirishima’s magical powers and ability to fight villains earns them the title of magical boys, albeit unique ones. The addition of hero costumes (which are very popular for cosplay events or Halloween in Japan) is the cherry on top.

Re: Zero – Starting Life in Another World​

Another example is Subaru Natsuki from Re: Zero − Starting Life in Another World. Natsuki, a hikikomori (shut-in) withdrawn from society, is suddenly summoned to a mystical, fantasy-like world. He realizes that he now has the power to turn back time after he dies.
With his ability, which he calls “Return by Death”, Natsuki aims to protect his friends and the one he loves, Emilia, from magical beasts. While it is not exactly an alter ego, Natsuki’s ability keeps him from telling others his power which unintentionally gives him a secret identity he struggles with.

Anime like Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Shugo Chara also featured magical boy characters as both love interests and villians. Image via Shutterstock

Bungou Stray Dogs​

Bungou Stray Dogs can also be claimed to have a magical boy within itself. While saving Detective Osamu Daizai from drowning, Atsushi Nakajima discovers that he has a secret ability that transforms him into a white tiger in the moonlight. He is then recruited by Daizai into a detective agency where he meets others with their own supernatural powers.
There, he uses his ability to fight the Mafia and their seedy actions within the Black Market. While this is a more unique transformation as he develops fangs, tiger-like eyes, and tiger limbs, with his magical abilities and vigilante mentality, he could definitely be considered a magical boy.
As you can see, magical boys can range from many genres and anime, yet they all have the similar characteristic of –well, being magical! And they deserve some recognition in comparison to magical girls. They are, after all, saving the world while looking their best!
What are some of your favorite magical boy anime and characters? Please let us know your favorites in the comments!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Cardcaptor Sakura’s Top 7 Best Costumes

Cardcaptor Sakura’s Top 7 Best Costumes​

By Serena

February 10, 2022

What’s even more iconic than a magical girl? Their magical costumes! Many magical girl series have given us some of the most recognizable costumes–truly a cosplayer’s dream. Focusing on one of the most iconic magical girls, Cardcaptor Sakura, what makes her costumes unique is that she doesn’t use magic to change into her magic fighting outfits.​

Unlike Sailor Moon who spends roughly 40 seconds every episode twirling in a kaleidoscope of colors & sparkles, Sakura Kinomoto has to put on all of her costumes by hand just like the rest of us. Not only does she have to get dressed like your average human, her costumes aren’t magic. All of her costumes are exactly that, a costume that has been gifted to her by her very best and very rich friend Tomoyo Daidouji.
When fighting in a magical girl story half of your power comes from your heart and the love that your friends and family give you, while the other half is from your amazingly adorable costume. Of course my math might be off a little there, but it works out.
Without further ado, here are (in no particular order) seven of Sakura Kinomoto’s best costumes from her anime and manga, plus one bonus!

Catch You, Catch Me​

A post shared by Ryunelia (@ryunelia)

The OG costume, the one worn in the first anime’s opening animation and in many promotional materials is the red and white frilly dress with the beret. If you know nothing about Cardcaptor Sakura but went near an anime convention at any point in the past two decades then you have probably seen this costume recreated many times by cosplayers.
This costume is so iconic that an updated version of it was created for the second series, Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card, for her first battle costume in the second episode.

Episode 2: The Shadow Card​

View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Amy (@amy.redpanda)

The next Cardcaptor Sakura costume on this list is special not only because it is a leotard with the most dramatic of capes and bows, but because it is the first costume that Tomoyo makes for Sakura, as well as the first costume she wears on her adventure to capture the cards, specifically The Shadow Card.
This costume appears in the second episode of the first anime, Sakura’s Wonderful Friend, but was however not included in the English dub version called Cardcaptors that was broadcast in North America.
This costume has elements that definitely seem easy to move around in, like the stretchy leotard. However, there are also elements that seem like they negate this feature, like the long billowing cape. Either way, this costume is adorable on Sakura and looks like such a fun cosplay costume to wear for warm weather shoots and conventions.

Check out YumeTwins for a chance to get Cardcaptor Sakura and other popular characters in your monthly kawaii subscription box straight from Japan!​

Episode 12: The Time Card​

A post shared by わたあめ＠ (@wataame_o_o)

This next Cardcaptor Sakura cosplay and costume come from episode 12, Sakura’s Never Ending Day, while trying to capture The Time Card. This light green and yellow tutu dress with wings gives strong ‘princess of the pixies’ vibes. Though it’s the little bloomers under the frilly tutu-like skirt and the little shoe pom poms that really tie this costume together.

Episode 24: The Little Card​

A post shared by sshoda (@sshoda.cos)

This next costume might be a little familiar even to people who have never seen an anime once. Worn in episode 24, Sakura’s Little Adventure, this blue dress with a white apron might remind you of another young girl who accidentally shrinks to the size of a teacup.
Yes, this Alice in Wonderland-inspired costume is worn by Sakura who is shrunk by the magic of The Little Card. The only difference in this costume is the color of the hair bow, Alice’s bow in Disney’s animated movie is black. However, for Sakura’s costume the bow is very large and blue in the manga and red in the anime.

Episode 31: The Big Card & the Create Card​

View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Lexiiek (@lexiiekcosplay)

Perhaps a controversial opinion, but the next costume on this list is the battle costume from episode 31, Sakura and the Nameless Book. In this episode she captures The Big Card and The Create Card. Made by her friend Tomoyo, this outfit has strong futuristic and regal vibes.

Platinum​

View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Ying瑛cosplay｜travel｜lolita｜ (@yingying_twcosplay)

This next costume is not a battle outfit but one that shows up in the third opening of the first anime series. Although the costume isn’t present in the series, that did not stop cosplayers from falling in love with this beautiful dress and making it a popular Cardcaptor Sakura cosplay. As is a common motif in not only Cardcaptor Sakura but many CLAMP series, wings are present in this costume.

Clear Card Episode 3: Aqua & Reflect​

View this post on Instagram
A post shared by @mimori_art my Artaccount (@mimori_cos)

This list would be nothing if it didn’t include the absolute best costume, froggy raincoat. This costume is brought to us from the second anime series, Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card, which takes place after Sakura enters middle school. This froggy raincoat appears in the second episode, Sakura’s Heavy Rain Alert. The coat’s yellow & green vinyl is designed to resemble a frog, with the eyes on the top of the hood.

Bonus – Costume Making​

View this post on Instagram

It would not be fair to have a list of Cardcaptor Sakura costumes without talking about the girl behind the designs of said costumes. As depicted with these two cosplayers below, Tomoyo designs and makes all of Sakura’s costumes.
Being described as mature for her age and having extreme selflessness towards Sakura, Tomoyo constantly puts Sakura and her feelings above her own. It is no secret that Tomoyo is a best friend to Sakura, but she also thinks of Sakura as her most loved person. Take that how you will, but it means that these costumes are all an extension of Tomoyo’s love for her best friend.
So if you are looking for your next con cosplay or some Halloween costume ideas, hopefully this list was able to help or at least gave some inspiration. If not, check out this article for Japanese Halloween costume ideas. And if you are into cute costumes or magical girl anime, and liked this list, then check out our favorite magical girl outfits we would love to have.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Who Is She?​

By Serena

February 08, 2022

Whether or not you are familiar with the anime and manga, if you are a fan of anime and Japanese pop culture, you have probably heard of Cardcaptor Sakura.​

Heck, if you were a 90s kid then you probably remember it being on TV at some point muddled in with a bunch of other anime characters like Goku and Sailor Moon. Although those in America might only remember it as simply Cardcaptors, as the title was changed during the localization process.
Either way, there is a chance the name rings a bell somewhere in your mind or in the dark recesses of your memory. Whether you are taking a stroll down memory lane or here to finally learn about that small girl in the pink and white costume, here is a brief overview of the Cardcaptor Sakura series.

Background on the Series​

Cardcaptor Sakura or カードキャプターさくら, is a series that spans across 2 separate manga runs, an anime, and two animated movies. The manga was written by CLAMP, an all female Japanese manga artist group, starting in 1996.

It was originally published in a monthly shoujo manga magazine called Nakayoshi and later published as a stand-alone manga by Nakayoshi’s parent publishing company, Kodansha. This is the same path that was taken when they published Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon a few years prior.
You may be familiar with CLAMP as they are also the group that brought us other popular manga series like, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, XxXHolic, and others. Even if you haven’t read one of their titles, there is a lot of character crossover between series. That means yes, the Sakura and Syaoran from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles are kind of the same characters from Cardcaptor Sakura.

Plot and Themes​

The series revolves around the main character Sakura Kinomoto who is a young girl living in a fictional city in Tokyo. One day she hears a funny noise and happens upon a mysterious book in her basement. After some investigation, magical tarot-like cards, called Clow Cards, are released into the world when she opens the book.
Each card holds powerful magic relating to natural forces, elements, and objects. Once freed from the book they begin to cause havoc around Tokyo, leaving Sakura to rise to the challenge of battling the magic in the cards to gain control over them and subdue them. In order to do this, Sakura must work together with her new found mentor, Guardian Cerberus, to harness the power of the magic that is already inside of her.

Within this fight to regain control of the cards, the series touches on a lot of topics, some of which were considered quite progressive for the late 90s and early 2000s, both in Japan and in other parts of the world.
The main theme that is quite common across the magical girl genre in general is that of love and friendship. This is a theme that is present in Cardcaptor Sakura as well. Sakura’s ability to see the good and pure heartedness of others is a driving force of many of the plot points within the series.
This is most notably seen in the main relationship between her and Syaoran Li, a person who starts out as an antagonist but later turns towards friendship and love due to Sakura’s kind and gentle nature towards him.
With such a heavy focus on the relationships of the characters, the series also heavily features many LGBT+ themes and relationships. Although some may claim that there are heterosexual explanations for many of the LGBT+ themes, the story lines that feature them were and are deeply impactful for many LGBT+ readers and watchers of the series.

About Sakura Kinomoto​

Sakura Kinomoto is the main and titular character of the Cardcaptor Sakura series. When the manga and anime starts she is a 9 year old girl in her 4th year of elementary school. She lives with her older brother and father after the death of her mother.
The second series, Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card, picks up after the events of the first series a few years later when she is 14 years old and in middle school.

Sakura is often depicted as being a bit of a tomboy, she is an active girl who loves sports, video games, and rollerblading. She is also generally very happy and upbeat, often seeing the brighter side of things even when in difficult situations.
So, even though Sakura doesn’t have a transformation sequence, or fight dark forces of evil, she still has the power of friendship and she is one of the most recognizable magical girls in the world of Japanese comics & animation. So if you are a fan of deep meaningful friendships, cute characters, magical powers, and adventure, I recommend you check out Cardcaptor Sakura.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›YumeTwins Visits the 2022 Cardcaptor Sakura Theme Cafe

YumeTwins Visits the 2022 Cardcaptor Sakura Theme Cafe​

By Serena

February 02, 2022

One of the popular wonders of kawaii Japan is the theme cafe or collaboration cafe filled with cute food. Think of any character that might be popular in Japan, there is a good chance there is or at one point was a cafe with that character as a theme.​

Theme cafes in Japan aren’t always limited to just specific characters though, sometimes they are immersive experiences. Maid and butler cafes are pretty well known, but did you know there is also a Vampire Cafe and a Ninja Cafe?
The beautiful yet sad thing about a lot of these character cafes though, is that they are often temporary.
Just like the cherry blossoms which bloom for about a week and a half, theme cafes pop up in event spaces and existing cafes, only to be gone in a blink of an eye. What makes it even harder to get into these limited time cafes is that they usually require an online reservation in advance. And since these are popular destinations open for a very limited time, the spots fill up fast. So do be quick!
The 2021 to 2022 Cardcaptor Sakura Cafe ‘Colorful à la mode’, was no exception. The theme cafe opened in November 2021 and was set to close January 10th, 2022. However, by popular demand, they extended the closing date to February 6th to allow more fans to experience the overwhelmingly cute cafe.
The Cardcaptor Sakura cafe set up shop in an existing event space called Tokyo Parade, which has hosted many limited time theme cafes in the past. Tokyo Parade is located inside of the Shibuya Parco, a newly built shopping center about a 5 minutes walk from Shibuya Station. On the same floor as Tokyo Parade there is a Nintendo store, a Pokemon Center, a Shonen Jump Shop, and a Capcom store for all of your fandom needs.

Want to know more about Cardcaptor Sakura either the anime or the manga series? Check out this intro to Cardcaptor Sakura article for more information.

About the Cafe​

The cafe was reservation only, and cost about $7 to make. That reservation comes with 1 of 3 special invitation cards with Sakura Kinomoto on them, in various costumes. Once you arrive for your reserved time, you are given one hour to eat your food and take pictures of the expertly designed interior.
As for the actual food at the cafe, it was pleasantly delicious. Those who are familiar with theme cafes in Japan will know that you are not going to these cafes to eat, you are going for the experience. The food, while good quality, can often come in portions that can be finished in a few bites. Considering you are paying anywhere from $15 to $30 dollars a plate it can be a little disappointing. The food here was actually delicious and full of more substance than most theme cafes. Though the price still stayed at the top of the theme cafe bracket.

Sakura and Syaoran Nakayoshi (Close Friendship) Plate Set​

The Sakura and Syaoran set came with thick cut cubes of Chinese braised pork, no doubt inspired by his and Clow Reed’s Chinese heritage, a thick fluffy omelet from Sakura, a strawberry parfait, and a cute card featuring both Sakura and Syaoran.

The meat was deliciously tender and paired well with the Japanese style rolled omelet. The strawberry parfait had ice cream, corn flakes, jelly, and strawberries for a sweet end to a wonderful meal.

Kero-chan Creamy Takoyaki Gnocchi​

One of the most adorable meals available at the cafe is the Kero-chan Takoyaki inspired seafood gnocchi. A very round ball of mashed potatoes with pickled ginger and octopus, tako, inside dons the face of our lovable mentor Kero-chan. Aside from the tako mashed potatoes, this meal also comes with seafood gnocchi in a cream sauce.
Overall this plate was delicious! The cream sauce was lovely and the fried gnocchi very flavorful. Also serving takoyaki filling inside of mashed potatoes was clever and tasty. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Hot Tea with Character Sugar – Kero​

One of the many adorable drinks on the menu was the Hot Tea with Character Sugar. We got a small crystalized Kero-chan as our character sugar cube. The character was at random, so we felt pretty lucky with what we were given.
As cute as the sugar was, it took about 10 seconds before it was nothing but a pair of wings floating in the hot tea. Another 10 seconds before it was nothing at all.

Interior​

As far as cafe interiors go, this shop was modern and a bit fancy. The shop was of course expertly decorated with Cardcaptor Sakura fans in mind. The walls alternated between digital panels that showed rotating images of the menu, and cute Cardcaptor Sakura themed wallpaper. The wallpaper had still shots from the anime depicting important scenes and featured the whole cast. Sections of the wallpaper also had the many Sakura Cards and Clow Cards that are present in the series.

On one wall of the cafe a large screen played the opening animation to the first Cardcaptor Sakura anime series, as well as key scenes from the Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card anime. Another wall showcased the life-sized cast of Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card.

Shop​

After exiting the cafe, customers were able to shop at a specialty gift shop. Many limited edition items were available for purchase only at this location. Due to how the cafe was themed, many items in the store revolved around cooking and food. A special edition apron with the main design from the cafe wallpaper was one of the more expensive items available. More affordable items like plastic containers, food shaped hair accessories, and branded keychains were also there.

So the next time you are in Japan and thinking about where you might want to grab a quick bite to eat, consider a theme cafe, you will be able to find cute character food from your favorite anime and manga. Curious about past cafes? Check here for a look at when TokyoTreat visited the 2018 Cardcaptor Sakura Cafe.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Who is Hatsune Miku? A Look Into a Japanese Culture Icon

Who is Hatsune Miku? A Look Into a Japanese Culture Icon​

By Terrell

January 28, 2022

Japan has plenty of iconic singers including Utada Hikaru, LiSA, and kawaii fashion icon Kyary Pamyu-Pamyu. That being said, you can’t talk about famous Japanese singers without bringing up the adorable Hatsune Miku! You may have heard of her or seen her in videos, video games, and more. But who is Hatsune Miku and why is she a Japanese culture icon?
Let’s learn all about this unique, kawaii character and singer!

Who is Hatsune Miku?​

Her iconic look includes her blue pigtails, but they often change color to match events or outfits, like this white and blue one for winter. Image via Shutterstock
Simply speaking, Hatsune Miku is a 16-year-old celebrity from Sapporo, Hokkaido who has sold out concerts, performed with and for celebrities like Lady Gaga and Pharrell Williams, and even made an appearance on David Letterman’s show. She has gorgeous blue hair (well, technically it’s cyan), and a signature long pigtail look similar to Usagi from magical girl anime Sailor Moon.
Oh, we almost forgot! Hatsune has been 16 for about 15 years now. Confused? Well, she’s not a normal girl by any means.
She’s actually not physically real, being the face of the Vocaloid software for the company Crytpon Future Media.
Looking to add a bit more kawaii to your life? Check out YumeTwins! YumeTwins sends all of your fave character goods from cute Japanese plushies to stationery and more, straight from Tokyo! You may even get some Hatsune Miku merch!

Who is She Really?​

‘Hatsune’ comes from the two kanji that together mean ‘first sound’. Meanwhile, ‘Miku’ means future. Put them together, and you get “the first sound of the future”, which is exactly what this virtual singer is. Not just in her design, especially those futuristic ribbons in her hair, but also in her origins.
She is literally a voice synthesizer, released in 2007, that many music creators have used to make well over 100,000 songs of their own. Her voice is based on the Japanese voice actress Saki Fujita, which turned out to be extremely popular with music makers who often shared their finished work with other creators.
Even now, there are tons of YouTube videos featuring Hatsune Miku and her music. Her most popular songs then go on to become the ones featured in her concert tours and performances.

She’s also a race car driver… well, she’s on a race car. That counts, right? Image via Shutterstock

How Does Hatsune Miku Perform?​

Contrary to what you might think, Miku has performed live many times to packed and sold-out venues from Tokyo to Los Angeles. Her live concerts involve 3D performances of her singing and dancing to her most popular songs with live musicians.
Again, her songs are created by others, making her a completely crowd and fan-sourced Japanese pop star. The 3D creation really is amazing and the technology behind it is super cool.
Like we mentioned, she even opened for the first month of Lady Gaga’s ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour. Even cooler from a technical view, she once did a music video with Japanese band Bump of Chicken, where she performed alongside the group in real time with no after-editing!

How Did She Become So Popular?​

She’s so popular that she’s even on Sapporo trains. How did she manage that? Image via Shutterstock
Well, the answer is kind of long. First of all, the first vocaloid pack that came out didn’t initially feature our favorite virtual singer and was intended more for pro music producers. She was only created for the second version of the software and was a super cute mascot that attracted music enthusiasts instead of just pros. With her pack, she was given her signature anime fashion look, an age, height, and weight, but no real personality description.
Without a set personality, artists could create any song or video they wanted, and it would still fit Hatsune Miku. On top of that, platforms like YouTube and the Japanese Nico Nico Douga, creators could share their content featuring the android pop star herself, with the most popular videos going viral to a certain extent.

How Did She Become a Cultural Icon?​

Much like many pop artists, Hatsune Miku doesn’t just sing. For starters, she’s appeared or has had references in various video games. Sega has featured her in rhythm video games ever since her debut in Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA, and she’s now one of the cutest Sega characters ever. She also had a Nintendo 3DS game called Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai.
She even has a variety of cameo or costume appearances in both Japanese games like Persona 4: Dancing All Night and Western Games like Just Dance and Skullgirls.

Fun Fact: Her long pigtails actually made her a prime target for merch since her pigtails allow for dynamic poses! Image via Shutterstock
More than just video games, she is also a character who represents Japan itself. Not only is she a great example of Kawaii culture; she’s also an unofficial mascot for Hokkaido. There are tons of Hokkaido goods featuring the iconic singer in all kinds of cool winter outfits.
But even more than that, she was chosen as a representative of Japan after the 2011 tsunami that hit Japan. By that time, she was already a well-known character among young people, with her image appearing in music textbooks. So, after the earthquake, she became a mascot for Cheerful JAPAN!, a fund-raising event selling special figures where part of sales went to charities related to earthquake and tsunami relief.
Hatsune Miku is a true icon of both Japan and Japanese technology. If you have the time, check out some of her concerts on YouTube!
Or if you’ve already heard her music, what’s your favorite Hatsune Miku song? Would you ever go to one of her 3D concerts? Let us know in the comments below!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›5 J-Pop Songs For Valentine’s Day

5 J-Pop Songs For Valentine’s Day​

By Serena

January 26, 2022

Holiday music can be a real hit or miss, and can evoke strong feelings no matter if it’s good or bad. Although we might be more familiar with Christmas songs, there are actually other holidays with popular music written about them.​

You might be surprised to know that there are popular Valentine’s Day songs considering…aren’t all love songs Valentine’s Day songs? Well, not quite. In Japan specifically, Valentine’s-themed songs are a popular festive addition to department stores lined with shelves of cutely wrapped chocolates and goodies.
Looking specifically at J-pop music, where the “J” stands for “Japanese” we can see quite a few chart topping Valentine’s Day-themed songs from popular artists. For those who are also into K-pop check here for an article comparing J-pop and K-pop and see which one is leading the game.
Whether you love or hate to celebrate the holiday there is no denying that it can be fuel for some pretty good bops. Want to update your track list for a February 14th trip to karaoke? Here is a list of popular J-pop Valentine’s Day songs.

Bummed you aren’t spending Valentine’s Day in Japan? Check out YumeTwins’ subscription box for your monthly dose of kawaii culture and goods straight from Japan!​

Sayuri Kokusho: Valentine Kiss バレンタイン・キッス (1986)​

Starting this list with an oldie but goodie is the OG of Valentine’s Day songs in Japan, Sayuri Kokusho’s Valentine Kiss from 1986. Valentine Kiss was the first solo song for Kokusho, who was previously promoted as part of the all-girl idol group Onyanko Club. The song went on to be a chart topper and won a Japan Golden Disc award for the Best Single of the Year in 1987.
Although the song debuted in the 1980s it was intentionally given a retro “doo-wop” feel. Both the instrumental and the harmonization gives the impression that this song could be a lot older than it actually is. The dance is quite simple and easy to imitate as well, which might have led to its popularity and success.

Perfume: Chocolate Disco チョコレイト・ディスコ (2007)​

One of the most internationally popular Valentine’s Day songs from Japan is Perfume’s Chocolate Disco from 2007. Perfume is a 3 girl group that specialize in high energy techno pop songs with intricate dance moves that are often set to visually stunning light shows. Perfume has also reached worldwide fame and recognition as well as had their techno pop songs featured in many international movies and shows.
The chorus of the song is in English and repetitive so many Japanese and international fans can sing along easily at karaoke or in the car. The lyrics tell a story about a girl working hard on making chocolate for a boy who is pretending not to care, but is secretly excited to receive some chocolate from her. The dance for the song is fun and quirky with some shoulder and leg shimmies and a part in which they mime the act of chopping, stirring, and tasting chocolate.

AKB48 Subunit Watarirouka Hashiritai 7: Valentine Kiss (2011)​

AKB48’s subunit named Watarirouka Hashiritai 7, came out with this remade Valentine’s Day song in 2011. Yes, this is the same song from earlier on the list with a more updated feel.

AKB48, standing for Akihabara 48, is a large idol group based in Tokyo where they have a resident theater they perform at. The 48 in the name comes from the original 48 members who were broken into smaller subgroups to allow more variety of daily shows at their theater. The roster often changes as older girls graduate out of the group and new trainees are brought in.
The subgroup Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 contained 7 girls when they promoted Valentine’s Kiss, an equally high energy song to match the original. The music is updated for a modern audience but is still reminiscent of the original “doo-wop” style.
The music video for the song shows the girls gearing up for a Valentine’s Day celebration with their special someone as they try to make their Valentine’s Day gifts of chocolate. Fans of the original and the remake can watch a special video of both Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 and Sayuki Kokusho performing the song together, live on a variety show.

μ’s (Muse): Mogyutto “love” de Sekkin Chuu!! (2012)​

Anime and rhythm game fans will enjoy this next song on the list by the animated group μ’s, pronounced ‘Muse’. Love Live School Idol Project is a rhythm game and anime that follows 9 high school girls who dream of becoming the next School Idol Champion at an annual competition called Love Live. The group of girls self-write, compose, arrange, and choreograph songs that appear in the game and anime.
Mogyutto “love” de Sekkin Chuu!! (もぎゅっと“love”で接近中!), or Approaching Tightly with Love!!, was released the day after Valentine’s Day in 2012. The video for the song shows all 9 animated members of μ’s in varying maid style costumes as they sing about nervously wanting to give their chocolate to a special someone on Valentine’s Day. Fans of the series were also treated to live performances of this song by the seiyuus or voice actors for the animated characters.
If you love watching Love Live School Idol Project, check out this list of 7 of the cutest anime songs.

BabyMetal: Gimme Chocolate (2013)​

Both J-pop fans and metal heads are a surprising fan base for this next song on the list. As their name suggests, BabyMetal was originally 3 young girls who liked to rock out to a fusion of pop and metal music.
While Gimme Chocolate is not exactly a Valentine’s Day song per se, it is a song about aggressively asking for someone to give you chocolate, which is pretty on par with the theme of the holiday. Also, everyone reading this list can benefit from a little pop metal rock out session.
The song has heavy metal drums and guitar mixed with pop and techno beats. This is combined with the three vocalists’ high-pitched and sweet singing. The fusion isn’t just in the music, the dance and costumes are also a seamless blend of the two genres. Fast back and forth movements are mixed with cute faces and poses to create a high energy dance. Costumes are layered and frilly like many sweet j-pop idol costumes, but are black and red leather with chains and studs for a cute yet hardcore look.
Whether you are spending Valentine’s Day with a romantic partner, friends, or alone, but aren’t yet sure of how you plan to celebrate, why not consider singing songs and eating yummy foods for a stay at home karaoke party? For a more Japanese Valentine’s celebration, try to add some Japanese pop music to your list of karaoke songs! In the end, no matter how the day is celebrated, just make sure you have fun!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Who is My Melody? A Guide to One of Sanrio’s Cutest

Who is My Melody? A Guide to One of Sanrio’s Cutest​

By Terrell

January 14, 2022

My Melody (Mai Merodi マイメロディ) is probably one of the most popular Japanese kawaii (cute) characters – right up there with her fellow Sanrio character Hello Kitty. You’ve probably seen the iconic white fur, red or pink hood, and long bunny ears on plenty of Japanese goods. But who is My Melody?
We’ll tell you exactly who she is, as well as how she got and stayed so popular? Let’s get started!

Who is My Melody?​

It’s hard to believe that this adorable, youthful character is almost 50 years old, right? Image via Shutterstock
Simply speaking, My Melody is a white rabbit girl from Mariland (in London) with a red or pink hood that covers her ears. But why the hood? Well, the answer is simple. Her initial release was in 1975 (a year after Hello Kitty) and portrayed the iconic fairytale character Little Red Riding Hood.
Actually her grandmother made her (originally) red hood, and although they eventually stopped the fairytale connection, she keeps it as a keepsake.
With how deep the Sanrio universe is, of course My Melody has hobbies, friendships, a rival, and a nickname. She loves to do crafts and bake cookies with her mother, and her favorite food is almond pound cake. She is best friends with a cute little mouse named Flat, as well as the iconic Hello Kitty. Hello Kitty and My Melody are only one year apart in age and both from London, so they get along beautifully.
On the flip side, this little bunny was given a rival of sorts in 2005 named Kuromi. Kuromi debuted in the My Melody anime, Onegai My Melody (literally Please, My Melody). Kuromi was so cute and popular that she became an official part of the Sanrio crew, becoming the other half of an iconic frenemy duo. In fact, Kuromi often calls My Melody by her nickname – My Mel (or Mai Mero in Japanese).

The History of My Melody​

My Melody has a history as interesting as the history of Hello Kitty. As we mentioned, her debut was part of a unique Sanrio version of Little Red Riding Hood in 1975. That same year, her first bit of merch was released and sold very well. Thanks to her kawaii aesthetic, young girls really took to the little hooded rabbit, and she only became more popular with different ages and boys with the explosion of kawaii culture.
However, in the late 1980s, she started to lose popularity, and Sanrio started to make less and less My Melody goods. You could really only find the iconic character on smaller Japanese stationery items or candy. The world went with limited kawaii rabbit goods for about ten years until 1996, when the Sanrio magazine Strawberry News did a survey.

It’s hard to believe that this character lost popularity. Just look at that face! Image via Shutterstock
With the survey results, they found out that people still loved My Melody! In fact, she was one of the most popular Sanrio characters in the survey. So, lucky for us, Sanrio listened and started releasing more goods, like bags, clothing, socks, umbrellas, and more.

How This Cute Character Has Stayed Relevant​

My Melody didn’t just stay on top with cute merch; she made a name for herself as a Japanese anime and video game hero too. Like we said before, 2005 saw the release of Onegai My Melody. This anime had four whole seasons with 52 episodes each, an anime film, and a light novel.
The anime series follows My Mel as she goes to the human world to save it from her rival Kuromi’s antics. To be fair, Kuromi doesn’t know that her antics will release darkness on the human and Mariland worlds. And My Melody didn’t just do it once; she saved both worlds four times over with her trusty weapon the Melody Takt.
What helped My Melody to stand out was the fact that this series didn’t really rely on other Sanrio characters. Don’t get me wrong – Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty make cameo appearances in the show. However, My Melody is the main character, and the show didn’t rely on other characters.

Of course My Mel can stand alone, but we love to see her with her fellow Sanrio veteran, Hello Kitty. Image via Shutterstock
The anime even spawned a few video games for the Nintendo DS that again saw her as the star against her adorable rival Kuromi. Each game included super cute environments and even more characters to flesh out the Sanrio extended universe. It also showed that this particular character could stand alone and still be successful, with or without her other Sanrio friends.
With her super cuteness, kind personality, and ability to stand alone, it’s no wonder that My Melody is so popular in Japan and around the world. Hopefully, this nearly 50-year-old character will be around for many more years.
Are you a My Melody fan? Are there any other Sanrio characters you love? Let us know in the comments below!

Hello Kitty x Japanese Folktale Heroes​

By James

December 23, 2021

Be inspired by a Japanese New Year’s themed item from our YumeTwins January 2022 box lineup, the Hello Kitty Illuminated Crystal Ball. The famous Sanrio mascot appears as characters & personas from Japanese folktales and stories. Learn more about these famous personalities here!​

Each character, appearing in stories passed down by generations and beloved by people both young and old, is embedded with a message of positivity and encouragement. Hello Kitty is a master of disguise and can easily pull off just about any look she’s tasked with as well, which she does with aplomb here, just as expected!

Maneki Neko​

Symbol of: Good luck, connections, and prosperity
Where: At restaurants & businesses
Features: Holds a coin and raises other paw in a welcoming manner

Details: Generally they’re depicted as calico Japanese Bobtail cats, although different cat breeds may be seen. It’s said that the infamous Meowth character from Pokemon was inspired by the Maneki Neko.

Daruma​

Symbol of: Rising above adversity & challenge
Where: Get one from a Buddhist temple to take home
Features: Red in color and made of papier-mâché
Details: The name comes from Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk who lived 1400 years ago. Daruma eyes are blank. This is to give you time to think of a goal, and you draw in one eye once you decide your goal. The second eye is drawn in once you’ve accomplished said goal.

There’s no need to go far for the best kawaii Japanese goods! YumeTwins sends them straight from Japan to your door each month!​

Inu Haruko​

Symbol of: Safe childbirth and protecting children
Where: Decorates homes and nurseries
Features: They carry a ‘dendendaiko’ drum on their backs, a traditional toy used to calm babies.
Details: Crafted in the same papier-mâché method as Daruma, these charms are made in the shape of dogs, as they’ve been considered guardians of the home & family since the Edo period (1603-1867).

Shichifukujin​

Symbol of: Good luck and happiness

Where: Special shrines & temples dedicated to the Shichifukujin throughout Japan
Features: Often depicted together on a treasure ship called the ‘Takarabune’ in a lighthearted mood.
Details: ‘Shichifukujin’ means ‘Seven Gods of Good Fortune’, and this group of deities is well-known and extremely popular. They sail to the human realm on the first three days of New Year celebrations to bring blessings along the way. Originally from Buddhism, Taoism, and local Japanese origin, they’re all now revered as a single unit.

Shigaraki Tanuki​

Symbol of: Joy, good luck, and fortune
Where: Displayed outside homes, restaurants and shrines
Features: Wears a straw hat and carries a bottle of sake
Details: The tanuki, also known as the Japanese raccoon dog, is depicted in Japanese folklore as mischievous & clever, yet fun-loving and easily distracted. A play on the name ‘tanuki’, ‘ta’ means ‘others’ and ‘nuki’ means ‘to surpass’, which is why spotting a tanuki in the wild means your goals will be supported.

Cherry Blossoms​

Symbol of: Hope & new beginnings
Where: Mainly in Japan & East Asia
Features: Seen in varying shades of pink & white; some varieties have up to 50 petals per flower.
Details: When this popular symbol of Japan blooms in spring, they have a short stay of about two weeks. This fragility is meant to remind onlookers of life’s delicateness.
And there you have it! Did you know any of these characters or personalities beforehand? Or are there any that particularly stand out to you? Additionally, do you notice any similarities between folktales from your own country and these? Let us know in the comments below!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Magical Girl Quotes for Some Kawaii Inspiration

Magical Girl Quotes for Some Kawaii Inspiration​

By Terrell

November 22, 2021

Magical girls are not just fun to watch, they are also very relatable. They’re young women who go through the same struggles, triumphs, and journeys that we go through… minus the magical battles. It’s no surprise then that there are so many great magical girl quotes out there that inspire our inner kawaii (cute) warrior to tackle our problems.
Let’s check out some of our favorite magical quotes that motivate us!

“You Will Have All The Strength You Will Need Inside. And You Have A Future Only You Can Create.” – Clow Reed from Cardcaptor Sakura​

Cardcaptor Sakura is full of memorable magical girl outfits, sweet moments, and great quotes. With so many kind words being exchanged between the titular Sakura, her friends, and the magical Clow Cards, how can there not be? However, our favorite quote comes from the creator of the Clow Cards himself, Clow Reed.
Clow gives Sakura some encouraging words as he passes on his power and blessing to her. She may not have been confident in her abilities at that time, but Clow lets her know that she is already strong and that her future as a magic user is hers alone. Much like Sakura, we all already have a massive amount of inner strength that helps us to forge our own unique future.

I’m going to aim to be my own kind of princess. – Usagi from Sailor Moon​

Usagi Tsukino really became the kind of princess people around the world strive to be! Image via Shutterstock
Usagi Tsukino is a true legend of the magical girl anime world. Next year will be the 30th anniversary of the Japanese premiere of Sailor Moon, and Usagi is still influencing the genre while inspiring everyday magical girls around the world.
Part of her success comes from the fact that Usagi is not your typical reincarnated moon princess. Instead of being a stereotypical princess, she strives to just be herself while also doing what’s right and looks fabulous while doing so. We should all follow her example and be who we want to be.

There’s nothing more boring than a perfect heroine. – Drosselmeyer from Princess Tutu​

Princess Tutu is definitely a unique show within the magical girl genre. Opting for dance over violence, it really feels like a magical fairy tale on a ballet stage. The story follows a duck named… Duck who transforms into the titular Princess Tutu.
However, the character responsible for the quote is actually the writer and narrator of the story, Drosselmeyer. Duck isn’t the perfect heroine, and Drosselmeyer actually appreciates that. Much like Duck, none of us are perfect, and we all have flaws or things that make us unique. And that might actually be for the best.
Perfect can be boring, so let’s enjoy our flaws, the flaws of others, and our journeys to improve.

No matter what changes, I’ll still be me. And I can be whoever I want to be. – Amu Hinamori from Shugo Chara!​

Shugo Chara! is really a great show to check out if want to see magical girls fight alongside magical boys. Image via Shutterstock
Shugo Chara! may have slipped under some people’s radar, but it is an interesting and fun show with a solid story. It also adds a bit of fun by incorporating magical boys into the cast of characters!
Main character Amu Hinamori is the coolest, spiciest girl in her school and is full of confidence… on the outside. Actually, despite her super cool anime fashion sense, she’s a super shy girl who wishes to show her true self to the world. From this wish, she inadvertently creates her guardian characters (shugo kyara) who help her to find herself while also battling an evil organization.
As Amu starts to come into her own, she realizes that no matter what changes around her, she’ll always be herself, and she can become any kind of person she wants with some effort and change of thinking.

If you have the chance to think really hard about what you want, you should take as much time as you need. – Mami Tomoe from Puella Magi Madoka Magica​

Puella Magi Madoka Magica, debuting in 2011, explored the idea of junior high school girls becoming magical girls in exchange for any wish of their heart’s desire. The show doesn’t take this exchange lightly as the struggle of being a magical girl is a massive one.
Our lovely senpai (senior) Mami gives this particular piece of advice to two friends who are considering making the deal. Her advice doesn’t just ring true for this situation, but for many situations. When you have an important decision to make, it’s important to think it through and take your time to make the best decision for you!

Madoka Magica really made waves in its initially release after being marketed as just another magical girl show. Image via Shutterstock

If someone ever tells me it’s a mistake to have hope, well then, I’ll just tell them they’re wrong. And I’ll keep telling them til they believe! No matter how many times it takes… – Madoka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica​

Puella Magi Madoka Magica may be a bit dark as a magical girl series, but main character Madoka brings a hope and brightness to the show that persists throughout the show. With this quote, we see Madoka full of resolve and telling the world that she’ll always hold onto hope for a better future regardless of nay-sayers – something that we should all be doing! So fight on, kawaii warriors!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Manga Every Independent Kawaii Girl Will Love

Manga Every Independent Kawaii Girl Will Love​

By James

November 17, 2021

The world of shoujo manga, closely related to the myriad famous magical girl anime series such as Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura that are loved across the globe, is wide ranging but has certain characteristics common to many within the genre. These include romance, school life, magic, and even action.​

This genre is often thought of as one of the most kawaii as well, as there is a heavy usage of what’s generally considered ‘feminine’ colors, intricate aesthetic motifs, and epic love stories that beat the odds. Many stories also utilize supporting characters often in the shape of cute animals who speak with a human voice, helping the heroine on her journey.
This world may seem to have very straightforward ‘rules’. However, if we delve a little deeper there are many great manga to be found that can be considered shoujo but go against the grain in some respects. The characters and the stories tread new ground and explore complex human feelings and relationships.
Based on your personality and interests, there are bound to be some new titles to discover that you’ll really enjoy. There a whole slew of manga series that you may be interested in once hearing about them, but we’ll introduce three definite winners that tend to draw in a wide range of fans.

Nana​

This series was written by Ai Yazawa and was produced from May 2000 to May 2009. It even has an anime series and two popular live-action movies with acclaimed music that has its own strong following. The art style is very intricate and widely acclaimed for its quality.
What makes this series stand out is that it involves two main characters, both named Nana, who come from completely different backgrounds. One comes to Tokyo to follow her boyfriend with the hope of living her life together with him, while the other comes to Tokyo in order to make her punk-rock band famous. Essentially, one seeks love and happiness while the other seeks to be famous. The two girls have very different personalities, but this doesn’t make them enemies. Instead, they come to respect each other and experience the step by step road to their individual dreams together.
It’s a story where the strength of girls is really front and center, and in which opposing personalities learn to live together and support each other whatever difficulties life throws their way. The moral of the story is that everyone is sure to find their way in life when they are themselves.

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts​

Written by Yu Tomofuji and published from November 2015 through October 2020, this story is an interesting take on a quintessentially romantic tale, and even references a few other series as you may notice reading through the volumes.
Starting off with a rather gruesome plot point, main character Sariphi is brought to the castle to be a sacrifice to the King of the Beasts and Demons. However, she shows no sign of fear and because of this, rightly so, she piques the interest of the Beast King who spares her life.
The King then keeps her at the castle and eventually Sariphi becomes the Queen of the Beasts and Demons. The story centers around how Sariphi learns bit by bit of the true character of the King by remaining calm and lending a listening ear. The story is somewhat like a fairy tale and the readers learn how to uncover the goodness that lies within.

Aishiteruze Baby​

Written by Yoko Maki and originally published from April 2002 to January 2005, this manga series also has a 26 episode anime series to go along with it. Starring teenage boy Kippei, who has to suddenly become the ‘mother’ to his little 5-year-old cousin Yuzuyu after her mother leaves her with Kippei, this manga specializes in mixing human drama involving serious situations with a light-hearted and hopeful tone.
Kippei is a simple 17-year-old flirty high school boy who has practically taken up flirting as a sport. However, by having to suddenly take care of his cousin, he learns the importance of considering the feelings of others. Importantly, a classmate named Kokoro, originally a quiet personality, decides to help Kippei raise Kokoro, and as a result Kippei then begins to care for Kokoro as well.
This story centers on character development that progresses with teamwork, as each has to depend on the other and show their true strengths and weaknesses while doing their best.
Have you heard of any of these three manga stories before? Do you have any other recommendations for stories that deviate somewhat from the norm? Do you prefer a story that’s relatable or one with more fantastical plots? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

By James

October 01, 2021

‘Welcome!’ to a brand new YumeTwins experience! This box theme marks YumeTwins’ renewal, and to celebrate we knew that magical girl items were an absolute must!​

Magical girl themed series, such as Sailor Moon & Cardcaptor Sakura, are continuous favorites of kawaii culture fans everywhere. With their casts of ordinary characters who possess extraordinary powers, the stories are as inspiring as they are relatable. Our Magical Level-Up box captures this nostalgic goodness and we hope you love it!

November Box Sneak Peeks!​

Take a look at just a few of the exciting kawaii items that are coming in your ‘Magical Level-Up’ box!

We’re proud to share our first original plushie – wholly designed by YumeTwins – with you! Crafted in the spirit of the ‘sidekick’ or ‘mascot’ character that plays a quintessential role in magical girl anime (popular examples include Luna from Sailor Moon, or even Jiji from Kiki’s Delivery Service), we hope this plushie will help you to feel in on the action as your own sidekick.

We’ve decorated it with hearts & stars motifs to match the new YumeTwins box, and it even wears our logo on the back so that this feline won’t be mistaken for anyone else. You’ll love the soft & squeezy texture that it’s made with, we can’t seem to put it down!
Question of the Day:

In the spirit of magic, imagine that your favorite plushie suddenly sprung to life one day and became your real-life sidekick. What characteristics & special abilities would you want it to have?

Available only through YumeTwins, beat the cold of autumn & winter, and double-up on the coziness at nap time with this blanket featuring a colorful design with Cardcaptor Sakura & her sidekick Kero! Fuzzy and ultra-comfy, it’ll lull right to sleep.

Did you know?

Rather than sporting the same dedicated outfit each time, as is usually the case in magical girl series, Cardcaptor Sakura is one of the very few heroines in anime who frequently has a costume update when battling a new enemy. In the story, each costume is hand-sown by Sakura’s good friend Tomoyo.

The fact that it’s quite rare to see Sakura in the same look is one of the key characteristics that fans appreciate about this popular series, and always adds to an element of surprise.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›The Top 10 Cutest Bug-Type Pokemon

The Top 10 Cutest Bug-Type Pokemon​

By Alana

July 27, 2021

Are you scared of bugs? Don’t worry, these cute crawlies are far from frightening. They’re more interested in worming their way right into your heart. Here are our picks for the top ten most adorable bug-type Pokemon.​

1. Combee​

Elemental Type: Bug/Flying
Cute level: 6/10
Evolves from: N/A
Evolves into: Females evolve into Vespiquen
The emoji-faced Combee is hard not to love with a single bee having three adorable faces in each of its hexagons. Even better, the bees can be as sweet as the honeycomb they look like. In the first episode that Combee were introduced, they helped Ash and his friends find the Enchanted Honey.

2. Caterpie​

Elemental Type: Bug
Cute level: 7/10
Evolves from: N/A
Evolves into: Metapod
This little caterpillar is very hungry indeed, eating hundreds of leaves a day. It has big black and yellow ringed eyes, and a little, wriggly green body. Caterpie is easy to catch and evolve to a Butterfree, making it a great starter Pokemon. It was even the first Pokemon Ash caught in the wild!

Image via Shutterstock

3. Butterfree​

Elemental Type: Flying/Dragon
Cute level: 8/10
Evolves from: Metapod
Evolves into: N/A
Caterpie’s final evolution is the equally cute Butterfree. It has an adorably chubby body and beautiful wings. Ash also evolved his Caterpie into a Butterfree, leading to the touching moment when Ash decides to release his own Butterfree to be with its mate.

4. Ledyba​

Elemental Type: Bug/Flying
Cute level: 6/10
Evolves from: N/A
Evolves into: Ledian
Ladybugs are one of the cutest bugs in real life, so logically, the ladybug-inspired Ledyba has to be one of the cutest bug Pokemon! Ledyba are very social creatures, getting sad and shy when left alone. They also play a role in pollinating the plants of the Pokemon world, making them very important for the environment!

5. Joltik​

Elemental Type: Electric/Bug
Cute level: 6/10
Evolves from: N/A
Evolves into: Spewpa
Before Lucas the Spider took over the internet, there was Joltik, another big-eyed, fuzzy spider-oid. It is one of the smallest of all Pokemon, with a height of just 1 centimeter. While it's small enough to fit in your pocket, its electric attacks pack a big punch! Arguably, it is one of the cutest electric type Pokemon as well. Its evolved form, Galvantula, is also one of the more powerful bug types there is.

Image via Shutterstock

6. Scatterbug​

Elemental Type: Bug
Cute level: 7/10
Evolves from: N/A
Evolves into: Spewpa
Scatterbug’s single bucktooth, perpetually dismayed expression and small size make it look like a little lost child, and as a larval Pokemon, it technically is one. Its little legs, round black body, and oversized head only add to its cuteness. Who wouldn’t want to adopt this little guy?

7. Snom​

Elemental Type: Bug/Ice
Cute level: 7/10
Evolves from: N/A
Evolves into: Frosmoth
Another larval Pokemon, Snom is a snowy blob supported by four stubby legs and covered in a translucent shell of ice. When it’s not sleeping or eating, it’s looking for food. Snom depends on friendship to level up, so make sure to spend plenty of time feeding it!

8. Swadloon​

Elemental Type: Bug/Grass
Cute level: 8/10
Evolves from: N/A
Evolves into: Sewaddle
Swadloon looks like a grumpy toddler wrapped in a blanket. This “blanket” is actually a cloak made of leaves, which it uses to keep warm. Despite its grumpy face, Swadloon is a friendly Pokemon. It’s so friendly, in fact, that it needs high friendship to level up. It levels up into Sewaddle, then Leavanny, which are equally adorable in design. For other cute Grass-type Pokemon, be sure to check out our article!

9. Cutiefly​

Elemental Type: Bug/Fairy
Cute level: 9/10
Evolves from: N/A
Evolves into: Ribombee
Cutiefly has the word cute right in its name! Its appearance lives up to expectations, with an ovular body, disproportionately big eyes, and a pair of tiny wings. It is one of the smallest of all the Pokemon and the lightest of all Bug-type Pokemon. The Cutiefly can detect the aura of living things, and so tends to gather around people with strong emotions.

10. Ribombee​

Elemental Type: Bug/Fairy
Cute level: 10/10
Evolves from: Cutiefly
Evolves into: N/A
Ribombee has fairy wings… need we say more? It evolves from the Cutiefly at level 25. Its face is very expressive for a bug-type, with a small smile and white hairs over its eyes that look like eyelashes. It even has a brown “scarf” around its neck, furthering its humanoid appearance. As a dual bug and fairy type, its design certainly does a good job of blending both!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Pokemon Cafe Tokyo: 10 Things to Know Before You Go

Pokemon Cafe Tokyo: 10 Things to Know Before You Go​

By Alana

July 27, 2021

If you love Pokémon, then you have to visit Tokyo’s Pokémon Cafe. Everything from the food and decor to the giant chef Pikachu helps to welcome and immerse you in the world of Pokémon. However, there are a few things you need to know before going. We’ve put together a complete list to make sure your experience at this cute cafe is Pokémon-perfect!​

1. It’s the World’s First Permanent Pokémon Cafe​

Before the construction of Tokyo’s Pokémon cafe in the Pokémon Center Tokyo DX, there were only temporary Pokémon pop-up cafes around Japan. Despite there being several Pokémon centers, this cafe is the world’s first permanent Pokémon-themed cafe. As of now, there is only one other permanent Pokémon cafe in the world located in Osaka.

2. The Pokémon Cafe Tokyo is Reservation-Only​

Before visiting the Pokémon cafe, you must make a reservation in advance and can reserve a slot on the official Pokémon website. They accept reservations up to 30 days before your visit. However, we recommend reserving as far in advance as possible to ensure you get the day you want because the cafe is very popular. Also make sure to arrive on time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your reservation will be canceled. After arrival, you have 90 minutes to enjoy the cafe.

3. Pre-Order Special Goods When You Reserve​

If you want the Pokémon cafe’s exclusive special goods, you need to order them when you make your reservation. You can only order up to three per person but they are worth checking out. The goods include adorable chef and waitress Pikachu mascot keychains and Pokemon-decorated plastic sleeve sets.

You don’t need to go to the café to get kawaii Pokémon goods! YumeTwins will send them straight to your door with our monthly subscription box.​

4. Take Public Transportation​

The Pokémon café is located in central Tokyo in an area called Nihombashi. As the area around the café is crowded and doesn’t have much parking, the café itself recommends taking public transportation there. The cafe is located inside the Takashimaya Shopping Center East Building on the 5th floor by the Pokémon Center Tokyo DX (the largest Pokémon center in Japan).
The café is 5 minutes on foot from JR Tokyo Station, via the Yaesu North Exit if you’re using a JR line. Or, you can use the Nihombashi Station’s B2 Exit if you’re taking the Tokyo Metro Ginza and Tozai Lines!

5. You Order via Tablet​

Ordering is very easy, even if you don’t speak Japanese. Each table gets a tablet with a selection of languages and pictures of the food to help you choose. Simply tap the food items you want and press order! The café staff will bring your food right to the table.

6. The Menu​

There are a few menu staples you can get year-round at the café, such as the ever-popular Pikachu and Eevee plates:

• With the “Everybody's Favorite Pikachu Plate!” (1,848 yen), you get a Pikachu-shaped omurice (ketchup rice covered in a layer of tender egg), and side dishes like the monster-ball-shaped macaroni and cheese. All of this is served on a Pikachu-shaped plate with Pikachu-themed sides.
• If you’re in the Eevee camp, you can get “Eevee's Have-it-all Meal” (1,848 yen) instead. The plate comes with an Eevee-shaped rice burger and side dishes like a cream croquette, star-shaped French fries, pasta, or salad. The set is served on a cute Eevee-shaped plate.

For an extra fee, you can even keep the Pikachu and Eevee plates, so make sure to eat it all up!
The café also has drinks and desserts themed after many other popular Pokémon. The rest of the menu is constantly changing according to the season, but you can check their current special menu items on their website. If you have dietary restrictions, they also provide a list of the allergens in their food for you to check.

7. Say Hello to Chef Pikachu or Eevee​

Keep your eyes peeled for a sight of Chef Pikachu or Eevee. These two adorable Pokémon performers wander through the café at random times to greet guests, around 6-8 times per day.
Just imagine the Insta-worthy photos with one of the cutest electric-type Pokemon and one of the cutest normal types in adorable chef costumes.

8. The Pokémon Cafe is Pricey But Totally Worth It​

While a typical drink at a café in Tokyo might cost anywhere from 200 to 700 yen, at the Pokémon café, drink prices range from 660 yen to 1760 yen. Likewise, the meals are more expensive than the usual café prices. While the café offerings are more expensive than you might expect, you are paying for the experience as much as the meal. If you’re a die-hard Pokémon fan, we think you’ll agree it’s worth it, though!

9. You Get Free Things​

There are a few extra perks to eating at the Pokémon café! All food and drink orders come with a free Pokémon placemat for you to keep. On top of that, you get a free coaster when you order a drink! To determine the kind of coaster you get, you get to play a game of luck on the ordering tablet. However, not all drinks come with a coaster, so make sure to check before you order.

10. …And the Chance to Buy Exclusive Merch​

If you missed the chance to pre-order the special goods, you can still buy plenty of cute café-exclusive merch like Chef Pikachu plushies, Pokeball mugs, and more at the cafe’s shop before you leave.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Choosing a Starter Pokémon

Choosing a Starter Pokémon​

By James

July 16, 2021

Picture this: you’ve been waiting and waiting for what seems like forever to get your hands on the newest Pokémon video game for your Nintendo Switch. It’s felt like an eternity since you first heard the announcement about the newest game’s upcoming release, and today the wait feels all worth it, as it’s finally the first day that it goes on sale!
You go to your favorite video game shop nearby, you tell them your name and that you’ve had the title reserved, and the staff member hurriedly gets you your very own copy that’s been waiting for you and places it in your hands. This is exactly the moment that you have long been waiting for! So, you make your way home, and as you pass by familiar sights and think about what kind of snacks would be good to enjoy with your new game, it suddenly hits you! There’s a very important choice that you must soon make, and it will affect how you go about gameplay, how quickly you progress through the game’s world, and whether your battles with Pokémon go smoothly or become dragged out and strenuous.

What could this gnawing question entail? And why is it seemingly so important? As a gamer on the way to become a Pokémon master, it’s the most pivotal choice that you will have to make as you set about your journey. The golden, all-important question is this: ‘Which starter Pokémon should I choose?’
And indeed! Exactly which starter Pokémon should you be choosing? It surely is a difficult question to answer, and there is plenty to consider before coming to a conclusion and making your selection final. However, it is also great fun to go through a list of all the pros and cons and compare the strengths and weaknesses of each possible starter character that could end up being your main sidekick.
You don’t need to go far for the best kawaii Pokémon goods! YumeTwins sends them straight from Japan to your door each month!

The starter Pokémon is your go-to partner as you battle and trek your way through the Pokémon world and meet new friends within the game. As a gamer, you’ll need to choose a Pokémon who suits your own personality and gaming style well. Surely, it may be best to avoid selecting a Poké-partner who is difficult to tame or who is too aggressive for your style, and instead choosing one who is mostly skilled at technique and fast surprise attacks. But also on the other hand though, if you are ready to power through the game and not willing to play second fiddle to anyone, then a Pokémon who has higher strengths, stronger attacks, and a skilled agility when it moves around on the battlefield is the kind of battle partner that you should seek.

At the very beginning of the Pokémon series within the first game (and also at the start of the anime series), players are informed that there are three possible starter Pokémon that could be chosen to go along with you on your travels. These three are extremely well-loved and dear to many players’ hearts. They are none other than the Poké-trio comprised of: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle!
It is nothing but natural and expected that these three cute and lovable Pokémon would be close to the hearts of so many gamers around the world. The world first got to know about the Pokémon world through these three starters, and each one of them is very cute in their own way, yet they can all evolve into a stronger and bigger version of their great selves once it is finally the time to evolve into the next form in the evolution cycle. The bond between an aspiring Pokémon master and their starter Pokémon is unbreakable and there will be nothing but loyalty between the pair.

That being said, it is absolutely the furthest thing from a secret that the main human character throughout the Pokémon series itself, Ash Ketchum, had a far from usual experience when it came to selecting his starter Pokémon. Ash is the odd one out, and instead of having the chance to traverse the world with Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle, Ash instead is very lucky to be given the opportunity to explore the world of Pokémon with cute electric mouse-looking Pikachu!
What do you think? Would you rather go ahead with a member of the original trio? Or are you one hundred percent team Pikachu? There’s no right or wrong with this question, as either option opens up fun possibilities and unique chances throughout your journey through the video games.
In recent years, however, another super lovable and kawaii trio of starter Pokémon has come to the fore and made a name for itself. This group of three is none other than Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble from the Pokémon Sword and Shield video games! What do you think? Which is your favorite one out of this neo trio? It’s really hard to choose, as they’re all great battle partners with unique strengths and power as you progress through the game.

Are you the type of gamer who would prefer to just choose any random Pokémon at all that you wish to be your starter partner? Or are you totally okay with having to choose one of the prescribed starters? We think that no matter what Pokémon you end up selecting as your starter, you will surely grow as a team and have the best journey together as you work your way through battles of strength and ability that will test your skills (not to mention constantly having to dodge Team Rocket’s random appearances!) as you get closer to your ultimate goal of becoming a Pokémon master!
With that, here are some key facts for some of the most popular starter Pokémon out there!
Bulbasaur

Type: Grass, Poison
Abilities: Overgrow, Chlorophyll
Japanese Name: Fushigidane
Charmander

Type: Fire
Abilities: Blaze, Solar Power
Japanese Name: Hitokage
Squirtle

Type: Water

Japanese Name: Zenigame
Grookey

Japanese Name: Sarunori
Scorbunny

Type: Fire

Japanese Name: Hibanii
Sobble

Japanese Name: Messon
We hope we've helped you out with your decision as to which starter Pokémon you'd like to choose when you start your next Pokémon video game! And if you're already on your journey battling to becoming a Pokémon master, we hope we've brought back fond memories of the early days when you first had to make your decision about who would be your first Pokémon friend!
Who do you think is the best or most battle-ready starter Pokémon, and which starter Pokémon do you think has the most potential as they evolve to help you win the most battles? Do you wish that any character in the Pokémon world could be a starter? Which Pokémon have you chosen as your own starter before? Let us know in the comment section below!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Rare Catches in ‘Pokémon Go’

Rare Catches in ‘Pokémon Go’​

By James

July 14, 2021

When the mobile game app Pokémon Go was released in 2016 on iOS and Android, it took nearly no time at all for it to become one of the biggest gaming hits ever, and it’s by far the absolute biggest hit the world has seen yet for an augmented reality game!
A product of a gargantuan collaborative effort between Nintendo and software company Niantic, games that make it this big and that receive acclaim from all different sorts of demographics and age ranges are quite rare and a huge feat to accomplish! All across the world, people were downloading the game and heading outside to see what kind of virtual reality Pokémon characters would appear in their neighborhood and local hangouts, sharing their finds and catches on social media, making selfies with Pokémon ubiquitous.

Positive Effects
Huge crowds of people could be seen traversing the outdoors, whether it be urban or rural, and positive stories about weight loss and people feeling healthier due to getting more exercise from the game abound. In fact, there are numerous heartwarming stories related to this hit game, such as parents having an easier time bonding with their children, people being able to make new friends based on shared love of the game, and it’s even helped people to fight off depression!
You don’t need to go far for the best kawaii Pokémon goods! YumeTwins sends them straight from Japan to your door each month!

The biggest hit factor behind this mobile gaming phenomenon is that Pokémon Go brings what was once a world only accessible on a TV screen or gaming console like the Nintendo Switch into the real world itself! It’s nothing but a thrill to be able to open up the Pokémon Go app on your phone, take a little walk, and then open up your camera to find that there are Pokémon hanging out in your favorite spaces.
Staying Power
The draw that keeps people enamored and coming back to still play throughout the past few years is the fact that you can collect all sorts of lovable Pokémon characters. There are a few characters that seem to pop up anywhere you go in the world. But the biggest excitement is when you have a certain handful of Pokémon in mind, your absolute faves. Some of the favorite Pokémon tend to be a bit rare, so you may have to do some research and quite possibly take a short trip here and there, discover some new places along the way, and then finally battle to capture your long sought after Pokémon!

In fact, for super rare Pokémon from Pokémon Go, such as Legendary or Mythical type Pokémon, these are often located (on purpose) in only certain select countries or regions of the world. With a passport in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, a few die-hard gamers have made the needed treks around the world to battle and capture the rarest and most fabled of Pokémon in the game!
Our Favorite Rarities in Pokémon Go

To start with, based on info shared by players and general trends within Pokémon Go itself, if you’re asking about the absolute rarest Pokémon in the game at the moment, it seems that these are the Top 5 most elusive: Axew, Unown, Chimecho, Tirtouga, and Archen.
However, we’d love to share some of the most kawaii of these rare Pokémon characters within the game!
The kawaii trio of Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie
These three Pokémon, also known as the Lake Trio, are exceedingly rare and difficult to locate within Pokémon Go. However, as cute as they may be, they have quite an interesting and regal backstory. Their names are inspired by the three Imperial Regalia of Japan. These are composed of a mirror that represents wisdom, a jewel signifying wisdom, and a sword symbolizing valor.
Unown
A super rare Psychic type Pokémon, one of the interesting points of its design is that there is more than one, quite a few perhaps, and each variant shape of this Pokémon represents a letter of the Latin alphabet. Apparently there is no rhyme or reason as to where exactly might be the best area in the world to try catching it. If you locate one of these you are lucky for sure!

Shiny Pokémon
This category in Pokémon Go is interesting in that it’s comprised of not entirely uncommon characters, but these Pokémon are made extra special because they’re colored quite differently than usual!

Pikachu Libre
This variant of Pikachu outfitted in a Lucha libre type outfit is unique in that it’s not necessarily impossible to find, but you’ll need to be at a super high level within the game in order to battle and capture it.
Do you have what it takes to catch some of these super rare finds? We believe in you! Let us know in the comments what some of your favorite Poké-rarities are, and if there are any in particular that you’ve already caught or that you’re trying to catch! Best of luck in the game!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›The Best Pokémon Memes – When Fans Write the Script

The Best Pokémon Memes – When Fans Write the Script​

By James

July 09, 2021

From shocked Pikachu, to ageless Ash, to terrible at being terrible Team Rocket, the internet loves a good Pokémon meme. Indeed, even your grandmother probably recognizes the cute electric mouse. So with each new social media platform that emerges, it’s only a matter of time before the meme battles begin!

Memes have been bringing joy and giggles pretty much since the dawn of the internet, but it was Tumblr that really helped them take off. While every fanbase has their favorites, the sheer amount of Pokémon material available (thanks to 1100+ episodes to sift through) means there are Poke-memes for every occasion. Is there anyone left on the planet who hasn’t seen shocked Pikachu? Let’s check out some of the ones that captured our hearts!
What is a Meme?
First things first, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page here. Broadly speaking, an internet meme can mean many things: a catchphrase, an idea, or a concept that is spread by the internet, usually on social media. But, what is now more typically considered a meme is a combination of visual media (image or GIF) with captions added on top. Often the image or text is a reference to popular culture, usually with a comedic or witty agenda.

Team Rocket FTW
A Pokémon version of the classic ‘woman yelling at cat’ meme, this version has transformed the ladies into team rocket, and the cat to none other than Pikachu. The original meme was actually a combination of two separate images; a screenshot from a 2011 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and someone’s cat who is rather unimpressed with being served veggies.
The emotional upheaval of Housewives cast member Taylor Armstrong, alongside Kyle Richards, telling off a smirky feline struck internet gold back in 2019. From the moment it was first posted on Twitter, this meme has been edited for every fandom and current event under the sun.

Given the eternal rivalry between Team Rocket and Pikachu, the side by side images perfectly capture the personality of the characters as well as how pretty much every episode of Pokémon ends: with Team Rocket in complete meltdown mode.
One Does Not Simply…Recognize Team Rocket
This is another Pokémon version of a classic internet meme, this time taken from the fantasy epic Lord of the Rings. Boromir’s famous words, “one does not simply walk into Mordor”, along with his serious expression and hand position to form a ring, was quickly edited with the basic formula of: One does not simply + action

Where does Team Rocket find tailors on such short notice? Image source
Given Team Rocket’s habit of hilariously bad disguises (that somehow fool Ash every single time?), it was only a matter of time before this meme was applied to their seemingly endless supply of outfits. Even though these memes are all technically different, since it's a collection of screen captures but with the same text, we think it still counts as one entry onto this list.
Team Rocket are lovable, bumbling villains, and their flair for fashion just makes us (kind of) root for them even more.
Shocked Pikachu
This classic meme was first uploaded as a reaction to a post on Tumblr on September 26th, 2018 and was taken from Season 1, Episode 10: “Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village”. Since it was first posted, the image quickly gained popularity as a comical way to feign surprise at a predictable or mundane event.
Whether this meme was created organically by a fan or was a stealthy marketing campaign, Wired actually has a whole article examining the rise in popularity of the image, which happened at the same time as the release of the Detective Pikachu movie. We’re just here for the wholesome Pikachu images, but make of it what you will.

In fact, the meme is so well known people no longer have to post the image, they can just reply in a comment with *shocked Pikachu face*, and everyone gets it. Well done, Pikachu!
Dexter x Ash
Ash Ketchum is like many animated characters in long-running series, he mysteriously seems to stay the same age. His journey to become a Pokémon Master began when he was just 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days old, and yet, it’s been almost 25 years since the debut of the first Pokémon episode and he looks suspiciously the same age. Either he has access to an incredible skincare routine or there’s some strange Pokémon magic going on here.

Growing Dexter x Ageless Ash. Image source
This meme combines the classically quizzical character of Dexter from Dexter’s Lab and Ash to highlight the existential crisis we all face when we grow older than our animated idols.
Ash vs Voldemort

Ash’s secret past, defeating the Dark Lord. Image source
Two infamous pre-teen characters collide with this Harry Potter x Ash Ketchum meme. The beloved British book series revolves around the boy with the lightning bolt scar, so one astute fan found it mighty suspicious that Ash seems to have two of them on his cheeks. Naturally, the only conclusion one could draw from this design choice was that the Pokémon Master-in-training had secretly defeated the Dark Lord, not once, but twice, before turning away from the world of magic. The secret is out, Ash!
So Many Memes, So Little Time
The beauty of meme culture is that it is always evolving. Someone will dig up a cultural gem and bring it to life again (please, no more Rick Rolling), or a new series will take over the zeitgeist. Because of that, it’s a given that there will always be more Pokémon memes to explore and chuckle at. And with meme generator websites a dime a dozen, you can easily contribute to the canon. If you can’t be a Pokémon Trainer, how about a meme master instead?

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›How Well Do You Know Pokémon Evolutions? Take Our Quiz!

How Well Do You Know Pokémon Evolutions? Take Our Quiz!​

By James

July 07, 2021

When it comes to Pokémon and their evolutions, there are a multitude of characteristics, themes, trends, and even a few one-off stylistic choices that sometimes make perfect sense, but at other times could possibly throw one for a loop (in a good way, though!).
All throughout the popular anime series, which has over 1,110 episodes at time of writing, viewers and fans get a chance to meet new and exciting Pokémon, while adding to their lists of favorites. And if you’re a fan and purveyor of the universe of exciting Pokémon video games from Nintendo that have been released through the years, you probably have an even deeper understanding and familiarity with how these hundreds of characters change throughout their life cycles.

Evolutionary Characteristics
You have likely heard in school before of the name Charles Darwin the scientist and his Theory of Evolution. However, in a Pokémon game or in the anime series, these evolutions aren’t exactly like that. Instead of gaining one or two new traits over a long period of time, a Pokémon evolution is a complete and instant shift, where one Pokémon character immediately becomes an entirely new being with a completely new look! This is definitely a new-fangled type of evolution for sure!
You don’t need to go far for the best kawaii Pokémon goods! YumeTwins sends them straight from Japan to your door each month!

The more episodes you’ve watched and the more Pokémon games you’ve played, the easier it is to know about which characters advance into which forms. And you may also know that most evolutions involve said Pokémon gaining an increase in strength, power, and resilience, not to mention sheer size. Not yet evolved Pokémon generally are perceived to be on the cute side of things, whereas their evolutionary forms tend to look strong and fierce in appearance. There are a few instances, however, in which this isn’t necessarily the case, and a Pokémon will evolve into a seemingly more kawaii form when compared to the appearance of its previous form.
Evolutions of Note
When thinking about Pokémon evolutions, what is the first duo or trio that comes to mind? Due to their similarity in name, in shape, in ubiquitousness, and in skills, one of the first evolutionary Pokémon pairs that may come to mind is likely that of Pikachu and its next stage of being: Raichu. Ash Ketchum’s best pal, however, doesn’t seem to ever want or even need to evolve into Raichu, so despite the well-known existence of this character we don’t get to see as much of Raichu as one might expect. The example this pair give us though is the quintessential formula of leveling up within this series. Raichu’s base stats and strengths are about 165 points higher than the base stats of Pikachu’s are.

Pikachu and Raichu aren’t the only ones in this family tree though! There’s another member of this electric mouse family that comes before Pikachu, however, and that’s none other than the kawaii and petit Pichu! Pikachu and Pichu are great pals and it’s easy to see that Pikachu cares deeply for this little cutie!
And to top it all off, there’s actually a final member of this all-electric clan. If you’re in the Alola region of the Pokémon world in any of Nintendo’s video games of either Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon, then Pikachu has a chance to evolve into a special form of Raichu. This Raichu has a more saturated orange color than does the usual iteration, plus ocean-like blue eyes instead of the usual black colored ones. But surely the most significant difference between Alolan Raichu and non-Alolan Raichu is that the former one is not just an Electric type, but a combination Electric and Psychic type Pokémon!
Evolutionary ‘Families’
There are three specific variations of evolution styles amongst the range of Pokémon characters. For instance, certain Pokémon only have one possible other Pokémon that they will ever have a chance to become, meaning that the total number of Pokémon possible in this ‘family’ is just two. Then, the most common example would be Pokémon that have a base form, middle form, and then a final form, leaving three possible members in this ‘family’ tree. Next, there are the rare Pokémon that never evolve and only have one possible identity. In general, these non-evolving Pokémon characters are ones that are either Legendary type or Mythical type.
Unique Cases

In addition to these three main groups of evolutions, there are also a few Pokémon, such as Eevee, whose second or third evolution will allow them to turn into just one of a number possibilities of different types of variants based on what exactly the trigger for the evolution was in the first place. After Eevee who will it be that you meet? Will it be Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or maybe Sylveon? So many possibilities! It’s definitely exciting to see who exactly will appear and under what circumstances!
Dratini – Dragonair – Dragonite, Our Favorite Evolution
One of our favorite evolutions is that of Dratini, a dragon-type Pokémon, who might be most well-known as its middle evolutionary form, that of Dragonair. Dratini and Dragonair are both sky-blue colored, almost snake-like (in a super cute way!) Pokémon who look very similar to each other. In fact, you’d surely be forgiven if you somehow confused the two, as their likenesses are similar enough at first glance.

Why this evolution is our favorite though is because of what happens next. At the time when Dragonair evolves, its next form is the lovable Dragonite. But, when taking a look at Dragonite’s first two forms, you might begin to wonder how it’s possible that the first two forms look so similar, and that the final form is, dare we say it, quite a random outcome!

Dragonite is not just a Dragon type Pokémon, but also a Flying type. Not to mention, it’s a completely different shape than the first two members of this family tree. Instead of being designed in a snake or serpentine shape, Dragonite has two legs plus a pair of (tiny!) wings. And the most striking difference may be the color difference. Dragonite is draped in a creamy orange color while its first two forms are of a sky blue hue.

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Pokémon Sweet Treats & Snacks: Catch ‘Em All, With A Plate!

Pokémon Sweet Treats & Snacks: Catch ‘Em All, With A Plate!​

By James

July 04, 2021

When it was first broadcast to audiences outside of Japan, nobody could have imagined the iconic status these adorable Pocket Monsters would reach. Twenty five years later, Pokémon, especially Pikachu, are recognized all over the world. Avid fans, who maybe started with cards (are we dating ourselves here?) can now access almost any kind of merch featuring their favorites, from figures, to fashion, decor, to decals.
But who doesn’t love a sweet or salty treat? Let’s take a look at some of the wacky and wonderful edible Pokémon delights out there. You might be surprised just how Pokémon your diet can be!
Eevee Tail Apple Pie Frappe
Released in fall 2020, this caramel-hued drink is inspired by the delightful seasonal flavor of apple pie. Infused with crisp apple flavor, this slushy drink is both sweet and tart with a generous whipped cream topping, sprinkled with pie crust. But why is “tail” in the name? Because we saved the best for last: the frappe is topped with a cookie in the shape of Eevee’s tail!
For the ultimate Eevee fans, there was also the option to buy the Eevee-shaped fuzzy cup sleeve. Perfect for the cutest ever drink photo-op and for keeping your hands from getting too hot or too cold while sipping away.
Pokémon x Mister Donut

Pokémon x Mister Donut 2020 Collection

Mister Donut is all over Japan and the go-to place for affordable, delicious donuts. They often collaborate with big brands and even famous patissiers to create gorgeous limited-edition collections. In 2019, they joined forces with Pokémon to create this adorable selection of donuts, including, of course, their famous mochi donuts. There was even a spherical Poké Ball donut filled with whipped cream and coated in a shiny strawberry-flavored glaze.
Even though this collection is no longer available, not to worry, it’s actually one of many collaborations between Pokémon x Mister Donut. So some version of adorable donuts featuring your favorite characters are likely to come around again soon!
Pikachu Ice Cream Cake

Pikachu Ice Cream Cake at Baskin Robbins Japan

When you’re a kid, the best birthday parties seem to always have an ice cream cake. Something about layers of creamy ice cream, a cookie crumb base, and icing decorations made us kids lose our minds with excitement. But who says ice cream cakes have an age limit?
Baskin Robbins (sometimes known as “31” in Japan), has a slew of character-themed cakes, including Pokémon. There’s the “Surprise Cake” decorated like a Poké-Ball, the ‘Pallet Cake’ which feature Pikachu, Eevee, Yamper, and Scorbunny, and finally, the most kawaii cake ever, a dome cake decorated like Pikachu. Released in 2020, the Poké-themed cakes have proven so popular that they are now part of the regular cake selection.
You don’t need to go far to get the best kawaii Pokémon goods! YumeTwins sends them straight to your door with our monthly subscription box!

Pikachu Puré Lemon Gummies
Not sure about getting a whole cake? How about some Pikachu-shaped candy to satisfy your sweet tooth? These pure candies are so called because they are packed full of lemon flavor for a seriously sweet and sour experience. Plus, there are 8 different versions of the packaging, all featuring the ever photogenic Pikachu.
Pokémon x Tohato Vegetable Salad Bites

Pokémon x Tohato Vegetable Salad Flavored Snacks featuring Fennekin

Does vegetable flavoring count as a vegetable? These crunchy corn puffs are stamped with Pokémon characters and are the perfect crunch to go along with your next Pokémon marathon or Pokémon-Go excursion. Tohato is a hugely popular snack brand in Japan and has paired up with Pokémon many times to create special edition releases, just like this one.
Pokémon Noodle Cup
That’s right, even noodle cups have received the Pokémon treatment! Noodle cups were created in Japan, so of course, Japanese people slurp them up like no one’s business. There are even whole rows at the supermarket filled just with endless flavors of the popular instant-snack.
So of course, it came as no surprise when Pokémon released their own version of the classic dorm room cuisine, partnering with instant ramen king – Sapporo Ichiban. Available in soy sauce and seafood flavor, both versions feature Pikachu on the packaging, a Poké-ball-themed lid, Pokémon stickers inside, and, wait for it, Pikachu-shaped fish cakes! Affordable, delicious (and maybe a little nutritious), you can’t go wrong with this one.
Pokémon Valentine’s Day Chocolates

Japan (along with other Asian countries) has actually split Valentine’s day into two separate holidays. February 14th is when women give sweets to men, and then on March 14th, otherwise known as ‘White Day’, men return the favor.
Every year, companies rev up their chocolate game and create beautiful collections that would make a sweetheart swoon. Pokémon, of course, is right in the middle of it all and this year released several assorted chocolate collections. The one in the video above features Pokémon, Eevee, and Mew!
Pokémon Café Pikachu’s Genki Curry

Pokémon Café Pikachu’s Genki Curry

OK, we know we said snacks and sweets, but we just couldn’t resist with this curry plate from the Pokémon Café. Opened in 2019, this Poké-centric eatery has become a mecca for all Pokémon fans. The menu is filled with instagrammable sweets and treats, from cupcakes and lattes, to pancakes and curry.
This Genki Curry (‘genki’ means happy & healthy in Japanese) is based on the school lunch favorite of curry rice. It’s a pork-based curry packed full of veggies and potatoes, which are cut into stars, and is topped with a serving of rice, colored yellow and molded into the shape of Pikachu’s head!
While the Pokémon Café may only be in Tokyo and Osaka for now, you can still get a bit of the experience with this Marumiya x Pokémon curry which includes a sticker!
Always More Pokémon
Of course, with the popularity of Pokémon showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, there are always new snacks and sweets to discover, so we’ll be sure to keep you updated!
Have you tried any of these Pokémon-themed snacks? Which ones have now been added to your must-try list? Let us know in the comments below!
