‘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!

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.

Not sure what game to play, or maybe looking for something new on games night that you haven’t played before? Check our blog on how to play popular Japanese card game Daifugo here for a new challenge! Daifugo’s main aim is to get rid of the cards in your hand as fast as possible by playing progressively stronger cards than the previous player.

Best of luck in all your games, and we wish for you to always have a strong hand!

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!

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.

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.

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



4b92d30b-c836-4d12-b03b-7bb965d8c67a_shutterstock_146981616528129.jpg

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



7f6ffc4f-de39-4fa1-96de-a06835972fb3_shutterstock_1699413853.jpg

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.
8eb18e52-fa37-4e10-b1d0-a47c961ba7af_shutterstock_1371647495.jpg

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.
3ab80e9f-447b-4033-8341-20ddb64a1c63_shutterstock_1859928514.jpg

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.
1cd86edd-7b5b-4852-9155-a1677ebf8653_shutterstock_2008083872.jpg

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.
1ba23e95-9bbe-4dcc-bfc0-052d5f008d59_shutterstock_1882837369.jpg

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!

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!

Rare Catches in ‘Pokémon Go’​

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!

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
18c51ca5-b26e-4407-b183-76b366bbcc34_shutterstock_1065741323.jpg

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



1b744e6c-9f53-4eb6-b19a-e1bba7f8a99d_Pokemon-memes-thumbnail.jpg

Cover image source

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!

f1f68719-42e8-4b8c-9f33-fde20f553b7c_shutterstock_1262245318.jpg

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.
You don’t need to go far for the best kawaii Pokémon goods! YumeTwins sends them straight from Japan to your door each month!

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.
8a2d6efa-4b46-44b5-8ede-affc4436eaa7_aMZRwMP_700bwp.jpg

Team Rocket and Pikachu as “Lady yelling at cat.” Image via 9gag
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
4034b436-e1a4-4f39-a37f-9b9963641d07_pastedimage0.jpg

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.
1ba83ef4-1fa8-49bd-b08f-0ae8f9b5da2b_unnamed.jpg

Pikachu, taking over the internet one meme at a time. Image source
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.
38adbe46-3f3d-4d39-a12d-822543ea94fb_unnamed28129.jpg

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
67f63356-c426-40ee-af78-8b4e84034c2f_C1wJPhgVQAEjVTt.jpg

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?
Which Pokémon meme is your favorite? Have you got any gems that we left out? Let us know in the comments below!

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



f2073ca8-3122-43e0-89dc-1af565649ba4_shutterstock_1414727963.jpg

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.
730efd1a-fd6c-4347-b60b-5aaaf476e40e_shutterstock_1498020356.jpg

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.
f96716a2-91bf-4c88-b41d-a34e65d6a4e5_shutterstock_1375226426.jpg

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
a97d0fd2-ae34-4d8e-bc63-1b4517999cd4_shutterstock_468903047.jpg

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.
130c2374-9e96-4a03-8480-ce0e12b65b43_shutterstock_1884220351.jpg

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!
2b54f17e-33f4-4d48-9664-a7e916652eb3_shutterstock_1884220348.jpg

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
Pokemon x Mister Donut 2020 Collection

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
Baskin Robbins 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.

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.

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

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!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›YumeTwins | November 2021 Theme – Magical Level-Up

YumeTwins | November 2021 Theme – Magical Level-Up​

By James

October 01, 2021



974b7e2e-53e3-4868-af86-df54d9c18050_square-november-magical-levelup-min.png

‘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!
23dc8439-6792-4a9b-b0c5-84b5031ad70f_1-min.png

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?
17d8aa69-9c55-48a1-a7bd-165588d85dab_2-min.png

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.

Get ready to play card games with your Sailor Moon faves! Includes 54 unique illustrations to keep gameplay exciting.

Not sure what game to play, or maybe looking for something new on games night that you haven’t played before? Check our blog on how to play popular Japanese card game Daifugo here for a new challenge! Daifugo’s main aim is to get rid of the cards in your hand as fast as possible by playing progressively stronger cards than the previous player.

Best of luck in all your games, and we wish for you to always have a strong hand!

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

The Top 10 Cutest Bug-Type Pokemon​

By Alana

July 27, 2021



966edbf0-b7d5-42e1-8ad0-11395abe7454_shutterstock_46460680428129.jpg

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!

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.

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



4b92d30b-c836-4d12-b03b-7bb965d8c67a_shutterstock_146981616528129.jpg

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.

Choosing a Starter Pokémon​

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.

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.
1ba23e95-9bbe-4dcc-bfc0-052d5f008d59_shutterstock_1882837369.jpg

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!

Rare Catches in ‘Pokémon Go’​

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!

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
18c51ca5-b26e-4407-b183-76b366bbcc34_shutterstock_1065741323.jpg

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!
85306c30-e0f1-439e-87ab-182458cc8d61_shutterstock_1935835063.jpg

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!
bf618410-d828-4581-bc0f-e6b1602693d0_shutterstock_1884220336.jpg

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!

f1f68719-42e8-4b8c-9f33-fde20f553b7c_shutterstock_1262245318.jpg

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.
You don’t need to go far for the best kawaii Pokémon goods! YumeTwins sends them straight from Japan to your door each month!

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.
8a2d6efa-4b46-44b5-8ede-affc4436eaa7_aMZRwMP_700bwp.jpg

Team Rocket and Pikachu as “Lady yelling at cat.” Image via 9gag
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
4034b436-e1a4-4f39-a37f-9b9963641d07_pastedimage0.jpg

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.
1ba83ef4-1fa8-49bd-b08f-0ae8f9b5da2b_unnamed.jpg

Pikachu, taking over the internet one meme at a time. Image source
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.
38adbe46-3f3d-4d39-a12d-822543ea94fb_unnamed28129.jpg

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
67f63356-c426-40ee-af78-8b4e84034c2f_C1wJPhgVQAEjVTt.jpg

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?
Which Pokémon meme is your favorite? Have you got any gems that we left out? Let us know in the comments below!

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

By James

July 07, 2021



f2073ca8-3122-43e0-89dc-1af565649ba4_shutterstock_1414727963.jpg

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.
730efd1a-fd6c-4347-b60b-5aaaf476e40e_shutterstock_1498020356.jpg

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.
f96716a2-91bf-4c88-b41d-a34e65d6a4e5_shutterstock_1375226426.jpg

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
a97d0fd2-ae34-4d8e-bc63-1b4517999cd4_shutterstock_468903047.jpg

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!

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



616cff92-a159-46b0-a666-13640d794ed3_shutterstock_1824649247.jpg

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
Pokemon x Mister Donut 2020 Collection

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
Baskin Robbins 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

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!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›YumeTwins | November 2021 Theme – Magical Level-Up

YumeTwins | November 2021 Theme – Magical Level-Up​

By James

October 01, 2021



974b7e2e-53e3-4868-af86-df54d9c18050_square-november-magical-levelup-min.png

‘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!
23dc8439-6792-4a9b-b0c5-84b5031ad70f_1-min.png

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?
17d8aa69-9c55-48a1-a7bd-165588d85dab_2-min.png

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.

Get ready to play card games with your Sailor Moon faves! Includes 54 unique illustrations to keep gameplay exciting.

Not sure what game to play, or maybe looking for something new on games night that you haven’t played before? Check our blog on how to play popular Japanese card game Daifugo here for a new challenge! Daifugo’s main aim is to get rid of the cards in your hand as fast as possible by playing progressively stronger cards than the previous player.

Best of luck in all your games, and we wish for you to always have a strong hand!

Let Us Know What You Think!

What aspects of magical girl anime do you relate to the most?

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

The Top 10 Cutest Bug-Type Pokemon​

By Alana

July 27, 2021



966edbf0-b7d5-42e1-8ad0-11395abe7454_shutterstock_46460680428129.jpg

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!

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.

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



4b92d30b-c836-4d12-b03b-7bb965d8c67a_shutterstock_146981616528129.jpg

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



7f6ffc4f-de39-4fa1-96de-a06835972fb3_shutterstock_1699413853.jpg

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.
8eb18e52-fa37-4e10-b1d0-a47c961ba7af_shutterstock_1371647495.jpg

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.
3ab80e9f-447b-4033-8341-20ddb64a1c63_shutterstock_1859928514.jpg

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.
1cd86edd-7b5b-4852-9155-a1677ebf8653_shutterstock_2008083872.jpg

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.
1ba23e95-9bbe-4dcc-bfc0-052d5f008d59_shutterstock_1882837369.jpg

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!

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!

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
18c51ca5-b26e-4407-b183-76b366bbcc34_shutterstock_1065741323.jpg

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!
85306c30-e0f1-439e-87ab-182458cc8d61_shutterstock_1935835063.jpg

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!
bf618410-d828-4581-bc0f-e6b1602693d0_shutterstock_1884220336.jpg

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



1b744e6c-9f53-4eb6-b19a-e1bba7f8a99d_Pokemon-memes-thumbnail.jpg

Cover image source

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!

f1f68719-42e8-4b8c-9f33-fde20f553b7c_shutterstock_1262245318.jpg

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.
You don’t need to go far for the best kawaii Pokémon goods! YumeTwins sends them straight from Japan to your door each month!

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.
8a2d6efa-4b46-44b5-8ede-affc4436eaa7_aMZRwMP_700bwp.jpg

Team Rocket and Pikachu as “Lady yelling at cat.” Image via 9gag
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
4034b436-e1a4-4f39-a37f-9b9963641d07_pastedimage0.jpg

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.
1ba83ef4-1fa8-49bd-b08f-0ae8f9b5da2b_unnamed.jpg

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.
38adbe46-3f3d-4d39-a12d-822543ea94fb_unnamed28129.jpg

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
67f63356-c426-40ee-af78-8b4e84034c2f_C1wJPhgVQAEjVTt.jpg

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?

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.
730efd1a-fd6c-4347-b60b-5aaaf476e40e_shutterstock_1498020356.jpg

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.
f96716a2-91bf-4c88-b41d-a34e65d6a4e5_shutterstock_1375226426.jpg

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
a97d0fd2-ae34-4d8e-bc63-1b4517999cd4_shutterstock_468903047.jpg

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.
130c2374-9e96-4a03-8480-ce0e12b65b43_shutterstock_1884220351.jpg

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!
2b54f17e-33f4-4d48-9664-a7e916652eb3_shutterstock_1884220348.jpg

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



616cff92-a159-46b0-a666-13640d794ed3_shutterstock_1824649247.jpg

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
Pokemon x Mister Donut 2020 Collection

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
Baskin Robbins 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.

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

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!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›YumeTwins | November 2021 Theme – Magical Level-Up

YumeTwins | November 2021 Theme – Magical Level-Up​

By James

October 01, 2021



974b7e2e-53e3-4868-af86-df54d9c18050_square-november-magical-levelup-min.png

‘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!
23dc8439-6792-4a9b-b0c5-84b5031ad70f_1-min.png

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?
17d8aa69-9c55-48a1-a7bd-165588d85dab_2-min.png

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.

Not sure what game to play, or maybe looking for something new on games night that you haven’t played before?

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

The Top 10 Cutest Bug-Type Pokemon​

By Alana

July 27, 2021



966edbf0-b7d5-42e1-8ad0-11395abe7454_shutterstock_46460680428129.jpg

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!

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.

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.

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!

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



7f6ffc4f-de39-4fa1-96de-a06835972fb3_shutterstock_1699413853.jpg

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.
8eb18e52-fa37-4e10-b1d0-a47c961ba7af_shutterstock_1371647495.jpg

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.
3ab80e9f-447b-4033-8341-20ddb64a1c63_shutterstock_1859928514.jpg

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.
1cd86edd-7b5b-4852-9155-a1677ebf8653_shutterstock_2008083872.jpg

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.
1ba23e95-9bbe-4dcc-bfc0-052d5f008d59_shutterstock_1882837369.jpg

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!

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



f65c2ff3-7bda-48bf-9ab9-842c7570ef1e_shutterstock_1806142240.jpg

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.
35b63b94-97cb-4700-ac58-642a8654fc5d_shutterstock_263044619.jpg

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!
4877c264-4453-4700-980b-111a651c5808_shutterstock_764156146.jpg

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
18c51ca5-b26e-4407-b183-76b366bbcc34_shutterstock_1065741323.jpg

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!
85306c30-e0f1-439e-87ab-182458cc8d61_shutterstock_1935835063.jpg

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!
bf618410-d828-4581-bc0f-e6b1602693d0_shutterstock_1884220336.jpg

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!

The Best Pokémon Memes – When Fans Write the Script​

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!
f1f68719-42e8-4b8c-9f33-fde20f553b7c_shutterstock_1262245318.jpg

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.

Pikachu, taking over the internet one meme at a time. Image source
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
67f63356-c426-40ee-af78-8b4e84034c2f_C1wJPhgVQAEjVTt.jpg

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?

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

By James

July 07, 2021



f2073ca8-3122-43e0-89dc-1af565649ba4_shutterstock_1414727963.jpg

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.
730efd1a-fd6c-4347-b60b-5aaaf476e40e_shutterstock_1498020356.jpg

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.
f96716a2-91bf-4c88-b41d-a34e65d6a4e5_shutterstock_1375226426.jpg

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
a97d0fd2-ae34-4d8e-bc63-1b4517999cd4_shutterstock_468903047.jpg

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.
130c2374-9e96-4a03-8480-ce0e12b65b43_shutterstock_1884220351.jpg

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!
2b54f17e-33f4-4d48-9664-a7e916652eb3_shutterstock_1884220348.jpg

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



616cff92-a159-46b0-a666-13640d794ed3_shutterstock_1824649247.jpg

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
Pokemon x Mister Donut 2020 Collection

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
Baskin Robbins 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
Pokemon Cafe 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!

Pokémon-Inspired Fashion Never Misses a Beat​

By James

July 03, 2021

People all over the world, even people right down the street, can be very different from one another with their own likes and interests, not to mention personalities, that help to make them unique. This individuality is what makes the world go around and the main ingredient that adds spice to life. However, if there’s one topic that everyone can reliably agree on, it’s probably Nintendo’s Pokémon.
652937c7-eac5-4fdc-87ae-86ae2ea3fe7b_shutterstock_1617044308.jpg

Now, we can’t say that every single person is interested in the same types of Pokémon video games, for instance, or that everyone has a soft spot for this or that certain Pokémon character. But what can be said is that nearly all Pokémon fans would love to catch some stylish streetwear or accessories decorated or inspired by their own favorite Pokémon! It’s all about the fashion!
What we all do have in common, whether we are very conscious of it or not, is that we all aim to showcase our own sense of style through our clothes. The key is to let your personality shine through what you wear, and it’s a positive thing that can be a lot of fun to put together! You’ll definitely feel your best after wading through the clothing options that exist and finding what’s most suitable to your individual style. We’ve all gotta wear a fresh set of clothes each day, so for Pokémon fans why not test the waters with some awesome designs sporting your all time favorite characters?
All About the Collaborations
Throughout the twenty five years of Pokémon history, there have been all sorts of fun collaborations between the series and famous apparel brands. Sometimes these collaborations are low-key and meant to give the masses a simple yet satisfying fashion option. Other times these are high-end luxury brands that aim to offer an exclusive limited-edition collectible lineup, bringing our favorite characters to new levels! Then there’s a little bit of everything else inbetween as well. For instance, not just t-shirts and pants, but shoes, tops, jeans, accessories, and even underwear and socks that feature these characters or motifs inspired by them.


Let’s take a look at some of the most noteworthy clothing collabs between Pokémon and fashion houses. We’ll showcase some of the most iconic fruits of this labor from recent years and even a few that are currently available! Are there any that you recognize? Sit back and enjoy the ride!
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 Big Names


If there’s one name in the world of apparel that won’t be left unnoticed, it’s Japan’s Uniqlo. Known for being a purveyor of the basic essentials and must-haves, this brand is ubiquitous in Japan and you’d be hard pressed to find someone living in Japan who hasn’t heard of it, and even harder pressed to find someone who doesn’t own at least one article of clothing from this maker. Throughout the past ten to fifteen years, the clothing chain has expanded rapidly in North America, Europe, and Asia as well and has garnered a following as it sets out to make a name for itself beyond just its home market.


Despite being particularly ubiquitous throughout Japan, one way that Uniqlo successfully keeps its lineup fresh and entices customers to come back for more is through its always updated t-shirt collections. With the namesake of ‘UT Graphic Tees’, fans of the brand look forward to special announcements regarding releases with their best-loved characters, and the plethora of Pokémon collections throughout the years that there are always some fresh designs on the horizon! Many focus on Pikachu, but there have been other characters appear as well. You may have even seen some of these collections appear on social media after their initial release, as there are quite a few dedicated fans of the UT offerings.
Sometimes, these collections are only in Japan, but luckily this year the Pokémon graphic tees are available around the world! What do you think about the options? They really are a neat way to seamlessly blend a stylish dose of Pokémon into your wardrobe.
Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that not only does Uniqlo offer an array of Pokémon tees, but the brand has recently started offering Pokémon loungewear as well, perfect for a day at home or even as comfy pajamas!
Kawaii Chic


A list of Pokémon inspired fashion would be incomplete without mentioning Original Stitch. This Japanese brand has made a name for itself by offering very stylish and wearable Pokémon designs on all types of button-up and polo shirts. The perk though, is that these designs can be customized by none other than you! You choose your favorite Pokémon, choose amongst the designs offered, then pick a favorite color and shirt type, et voila! You’ve got your own original Pokémon wear ready to go! It’s hard to resist the contemporary yet everyday charm of this brand’s offerings.
From the Waist Down
Shoes, jeans, and undies, oh my! Don’t just deck out your tops in Poké-goodness, add some fun and uniqueness to your entire look! Starting with underwear, we’d be mistaken to not mention Japanese brand Hipshop. Known for eye-catching designs often featuring anime mascots, such as a popular Dragon Ball Z series, their undies are just plain fun and make for an interesting but surely memorable gift as well.


Who could go wrong with adding Pikachu-embellished jeans to their wardrobe? Levi’s has just the thing with their Pokémon inspired collection which includes t-shirts, sweatshirts, and stylish denim jackets too.


Last but not least, the shoes! Adidas decided to go retro with an 8-bit inspired Pokémon shoe design collection. Featuring an array of unique styles, it will be difficult to say no to these cool kicks!


The High-End Accessories


Although luxury goods can be out of reach for many people, it’s always fun to look at what the privileged few in this world are buying. We can only dream, right? French brand Longchamp had a very creative idea when it came to collaborating with Pokémon. The Pokémon x Longchamp bag, outfitted in Pikachu motifs, comes in 3D and 2D versions. What we mean by this is that the bag was introduced during an in-game event on Pokémon-Go during Paris Fashion Week. And if you’re a fan of it and want to bring the game to life, you can purchase it in the real world as well!
Share Your Thoughts
We hope you enjoyed this walk down the Pokémon runway! In the future, what other fashion brand collaborations do you hope to see with your favorite Pokémon? Do you notice any trends when you shop for Pokémon clothes yourself? And are there any other anime, manga, or video game titles and characters that you reckon would make a fantastic foray into the universe of couture? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Which Sanrio Character Matches Your Personality?​

By James

June 28, 2021



2dabd23d-1ab0-4ec8-ab70-0565deb414ef_shutterstock_1009419496.jpg

Take this quiz to find out which kawaii Sanrio character best matches your personality!

f899936b-743c-4206-a1ee-12976ef86c37_shutterstock_1813595266.jpg

When it comes to personalities, there’s definitely a Sanrio character to fit every type! Are you most interested in the cuteness of the individual characters, or do you like a bit of an edge? Are you drawn to certain color palettes, or do you love the assorted accessories and storylines behind some of Sanrio’s characters? Whatever you’re looking for in a buddy you will surely find within the range of characters that this company has brought into the world.
For instance, we can say with confidence that the character Aggretsuko and her companions are quite the model group when it comes to having a wide spectrum of realistic and developed personalities. This well-rounded mix of dynamic individuals require little time for audiences to get to know and understand them, and despite not being the most ‘traditionally’ kawaii brainchild of Sanrio, they are instantly lovable and wholly endearing right from the get-go.
0ed6932c-80ed-4570-8314-5f449dae8a9d_shutterstock_1115332136.jpg

One large factor that can’t be overlooked which makes Sanrio characters so easy to love amongst people from all over the world is that there are simply so many unique individual characters to meet! Not to mention, there’s a huge lineup of characters besides the well-known ones that have only appeared on limited stationery releases, for instance, but still remain part and parcel of the Sanrio canon. Of these hundreds of characters that occupy the Sanrio-verse, each one is bound to have particular personality traits or a backstory, ensuring that there’s always something for everybody.
Stay up to date with Japan's newest kawaii goods from Sanrio and other loved brands! YumeTwins sends you the best exclusives to your door each month!

On the other hand, ever wondered why Hello Kitty doesn’t have a mouth? Or why certain characters seem to be loved by people of differing age ranges? One common reasoning goes that this happens because many of the characters tend to be voiceless most of the time and therefore you can more easily attach your own individual persona to it. This makes these characters that are lovable from the get-go seem even easier to understand once you’ve taken a fancy to one. As a result, it’s not hard to find commonality between yourself and a cute character when you feel like they could definitely have your back.
Sanrio’s biggest challenge involving their characters going forward into the future is somewhat abstract, which is how to best continue creating surprises for fans. We may see more new characters pop up every so often, but it’s more likely that additional creativity and imagination will be put into mainstay characters like Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, My Melody, Cinnamoroll and others to keep them current and ever evolving with the times.
And without further ado, let’s have some fun and see which Sanrio character best matches your personality! Take our quiz now!

What do you think? Do your results match up with your all-time favorite character? Even if not, no need to worry! Each and every Sanrio character is lovable and awesome just as they are, so it can be pretty hard to separate them out individually sometimes! We hope you enjoyed taking the quiz, and be sure to let us know your results in the comments!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Shonen vs Shoujo: What’s the Difference?

Shonen vs Shoujo: What’s the Difference?​

By Jamilia

June 09, 2021



shutterstock_2077073509.png

The differences between various types of anime and manga series can be overwhelming for new fans. There seems to be a new series coming out every other month but many fans swear you need to watch the classics in order to truly get the medium.​

There are many different genres of anime but the two most popular are shoujo anime and shonen anime, but what does that mean? And what exactly is the difference between the two? In this article, we’re going to talk about what is shonen and shoujo anime and their differences to help you better choose between the two genres.

What does Shoujo and Shonen mean?

Shoujo and shonen are both Japanese terms commonly used as categories for entertainment media. Shoujo refers to young girls, often “magical girls” like Sailor Moon, and shonen respectively means young boys from about 12-18 years old. Many of the most popular anime in the world fall into either of these two categories. Although they’re both aimed at young boys and girls they have a lot of differences between them.
3e9b3a33-24d5-4c48-9c9c-44bcc7e8cd8a_shutterstock_164006459528129.jpg

Shonen x Shoujo Differences:

Target demographics

The first difference between the two is their intended target audiences. Shoujo anime is often marketed to young girls and shonen anime is often marketed to young boys. That’s not to say either gender can’t enjoy both equally. Shoujo and shonen anime are equally popular among boys and girls. However, the target audience does affect everything else from the themes, art styles, and even how words are translated from Japanese.

Can’t get enough of your favorite Shoujo stars?! YumeTwins is bringing you the cutest Shoujo merch straight from Tokyo to your door every month!


The protagonists

The second thing people notice is the protagonists of each genre. Shoujo anime of course features a large number of female protagonists. While shonen often has a large number of male protagonists. In shoujo anime, the female hero is a young girl usually in high school who has a reputation for being too shy or too bossy. In shonen anime, the male hero is a young boy as well who has a reputation for being weak or a troublesome delinquent.

The themes of Shoujo and Shonen

Many young girls dream about being a part of the cool girls, getting their first boyfriend, or getting married and the themes of shoujo anime often reflect those desires. Some of the most popular anime like Kiss Him, Not Me, Say I Love You, and Ao Haru Ride have love centered as the main character’s ultimate desire. Even when love isn’t the ultimate goal it’s still a defining theme of the show. Popular series like Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Yona of the Dawn have an action-heavy plot but there’s still an emphasis on romance throughout the show.
176c66f7-676c-4886-9235-37d17c282b87_shutterstock_183632572628129.jpg

Shonen on the other hand is more action-focused so therefore the themes in the show are often about courage, strength, and being the best. The young male usually starts as kind of weak and incapable of doing much on their own but throughout the show, they become stronger and become one of the most powerful beings on their team. Romance might be present in the show but it isn’t the main focus of the show, and very little screen time will be devoted to romantic relationships. Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Attack on Titan are all popular shonen anime that focus on strength and courage but also have a bit of romance tossed in as well.

The art styles of Shoujo and Shonen

In shoujo anime, everything’s meant to look pretty and cute. There’s often a lot of detail that goes into the character design and setting to really set the overall tone of the story. The female characters will often have large expressive eyes, you’ll often see many patterns with flowers or butterfly motifs throughout the series as well. The art lines are smoother and rounder to soften the characters too.
badaf684-bdb8-4373-bdf5-c70526cfaeb3_shutterstock_1325118347+%281%29.jpg

image via shutterstock.com
In shonen anime, the art design is much sharper. Characters no longer have large cute eyes, instead, they are small and dramatic. The backgrounds are often dark and the action lines are dramatic to emphasize the action on the screen as well. There might be a few cute characters in the show but overall, the characters are designed to be cool more than cute.

Fan service in Shoujo and Shonen

Fan service is material that’s put into the show intended to please the audience. We all love fan service even if you don’t know it, and both genres use fan service differently. Shonen anime has fan service that’s often more sexualized than shoujo anime. Usually, it involves something like beach episodes or bathhouse scenes. Shoujo anime is often more on the romantic side like seeing the main characters almost kiss or the male lead goes shirtless to tease the female lead.

Hopefully, this article will help you understand the key differences between shonen and shoujo anime a bit more. They’re both great and are enjoyed by people of all ages and genders. As you’re choosing the next series to watch use this as a guide to pick the best show according to your interest. If you’re an anime fan already are there any other differences you’ve noticed between the two? Leave a comment below!

8 Cute Anime Couples We Love to Love!​

By Jamilia

May 07, 2021



shutterstock_2033091758.png

People watch anime for so many reasons. It’s exciting, transports you to a different world and you can even learn something educational. Past all the great fight scenes and filler episodes the one thing that keeps us all on the edge are the cute anime couples. The “will they, won’t they” dynamics keeps viewers locked in and gives all something to root for. Even after the harshest battles love seems to make everything okay, and the hardest sacrifices worth it. Come fall in love with some of the cutest anime couples on TV.

Naruto and Hinata – Naruto

Fanart by @adicoon
Naruto might be a shounen anime but that doesn’t mean there isn’t time for a little romance. Despite all the silly jokes, and tragic events, the show is filled with unforgettable moments that bond the shinobi. Naruto and Hinata grew up together in the village of the leaves, fighting for the same cause. Although Hinata experienced love at first sight, Naruto’s one track mind made it nearly impossible for a deep relationship to blossom. Thankfully Hinata isn’t as timid as they may seem. After so many years of standing on the sideline, Hinata mustered up the courage to confess her love to Naruto! Her bravery and determination is just one of the many reasons why fans worldwide can’t help but cheer on this couple.

Kyou and Tooru – Fruits Basket

a3afbb70-e106-4fe4-9b64-f820af68d954_tohru-kyo-art-10.jpg

Fanart by @samairu
Every girl has loved at least one “badboy” in there lives. He’s handsome, strong, and doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him. That is until he falls in love. Kyou is the 16 year old troublemaker of the Souma family. He’s angsty and everyone does their best to stay away from him except for Tooru. As Tooru manages to get close to the Souma family they both eventually realize their feelings for each other and well there goes the badboy element. Although their relationship starts slow at first without either knowing their feelings for each other, the eventual growth of their relationship will surely fill your heart with warmth.

Misaki and Takumi – Kaichou wa Maid-Sama

41d8c820-3525-4de4-ba61-9e4e2dda3eeb_d3d97h8-55937e50-9cd4-478d-b815-a253832ffb46.png

Fanart by @deathrich
Romance anime come and go but Kaichou wa Maid-Sama has remained in the heart of love fanatics for over 10 years. This romance anime flips the love trope on its head by having the boy Takumi pin for the girl Misaki. Misaki is strong, smart and has a strong dislike for boys. Because her family is poor she moonlights as a maid in a cafe after school. Takumi eventually finds out her secret but decides to not tell anyone. As the two begin to trust each other more as they start to fall in love.

Mikasa and Eren – Attack on Titan

Fanart by @piccleficcle
Attack on Titan has made a huge impact in the anime industry over the past few years. The show’s main characters Mikasa and Eren are childhood friends who join the military to fight titans together. Mikasa often has trouble expressing herself but she’s determined to keep Eren safe. Eren has his sights on defeating the titans but often lags behind his teammates in skill and tactics. In the beginning, their relationship is more like a mother and child but throughout the series, they begin to grow passionate emotions for each other. Attack on Titan might be the furthest thing away from a romance anime but there’s nothing more romantic than being saved from being eaten by a titan.

Kirito and Asuna – Sword Art Online

Fanart by @jonatking
Reality is twisted into something like never before as the main protagonists find themselves sucked into a huge computer game. Kirito and Asuna are both excellent gamers, and think of nothing but beating the game. As their time in this alternate reality continues on the two begin to grow close to each other and start to think about protecting each other. Despite the huge odds stacked against them, they learn to think about more than their own success and fall in love.

Inuyasha and Kagome – Inuyasha

251119cd-f91f-4224-93cb-ebe3bca1a560_dptqz9-1bc9ea30-5376-47d5-9c36-49bbec00e64c.jpg

Fanart @mario162
Inuyasha shows us that true love can transcend across lifespans. The main character, Kagome, falls into a magical well that transports her back in time to Feudal Japan. There she frees a half-demon Inuyasha who was sealed to a tree by his past love Kikyo. Inuyasha constantly struggles between his feelings for Kikyo and Kagome who is in fact Kikiyo’s future reincarnation. As the show progresses Inuyasha eventually calms his inner demon and grows a deep relationship with Kagome. They grow to truly care for each other and want to protect each other at all costs.

Winry and Edward – Fullmetal Alchemist

Fanart by @yleyn
Fullmetal alchemist doesn’t appear to have a love story on the surface but as the story progresses anime fans will begin to see the relationship between Winry and Edward slowly blossom. They’ve been friends since childhood and Ed lost his limbs, it was Winry who built his mechanic arms and legs. Although Winry’s feelings for Ed grew quickly, it took him a long time to realize how much she means to him. Despite all the hardships they each face, watching their relationship will teach you that love is still possible even in the most adverse of situations.

Haruhi and Tamaki – Ouran Highschool Host Club

Fanart by @sunshineikimaru
Ouran Highschool Host Club has remained a fan favorite anime for over 20 years! It all starts with Haruhi and Tamaki’s cute relationship. Haruhi is a clever, and studious girl gains entrance to the illustrious Ouran High School, even though she’s much poorer than most of the students there. While at the school she cuts her hair to focus more on her studies and reduce any distractions from being successful. Tamaki initially assumes Haruhi is just a strange boy but eventually realizes that she’s a girl underneath all her baggy clothes. He rapidly starts to fall in love with her. The couple faces a whirlwind of misunderstandings, until the end when they realize they’re perfect for each other. Haruhi as a down-to-earth girl balancing Tamaki’s overconfidence, they make one of the best anime couples.
Anime isn’t all about the giant mecha fights and fun filler episodes. Any real anime fan knows what really pushes the storyline along are the relationships formed between the characters. This was our list on the cutest anime couples out there. How did we do? Are there any other couples that deserve to be on that list? Leave a comment below.

Rilakkuma Teaches Us How To Relax and Embrace a Stress-Free Lifestyle​

By Tanner

April 07, 2021

Rilakkuma is the infamous teddy bear with a zipper on his back, lounging, spending time with his friends and consuming 24/7.​

That zipper in his back caused a debate of whether he was just a man in a costume or if he was a real bear or not. Nonetheless, Rilakkuma and his friends have gained international recognition and acclaim, not only because of his cuteness, but for the idea he represents. Just like his name entails, Rilakkuma is a combination of “relaxation” and “kuma” (bear in Japanese). He is the antithesis of our consistently busy culture, reminding us of the importance of rest and relaxation.
Rilakkuma started to gain popularity early 2000s as Rilakkuma merch can be found in UFO machines across Japan. Soon after, production of Rilakkuma goods has dramatically increased and in 2010’s Character Databank survey, he was crowned as Japan’s fifth most popular character. Rilakkuma merch varies from practical goods such as bento boxes, bags, stationery, and handkerchiefs to limited edition plushies and keychains. There are many people in Japan and beyond that are avid collectors of Rilakkuma merch.

This adorable bear is the creation of Aki Kondo for San-X, the same company that created and produces Sumikkogurashi. Rilakkuma was initially featured in comics that started in 2003 called Rilakkuma Seikatsu that tells the story of Rilakkuma and his friends who lived in the home of Kaoru, a single office woman. In 2019, a Netflix series called “Rilakkuma and Kaoru” premiered and gave life to this complacent teddy bear. The director of the series, Masahito Kobayashi and his talented production crew created an animated stop motion world, which was painstakingly long and difficult to create, but resulted in an impressive and high-quality animation with heart tugging and relatable stories.
So, who are the other characters in Rilakkuma’s world?

Kaoru

Kaoru is the benefactor of Rilakkuma and his friends. They all live and spend their days in her apartment. While she spends day by day working in an office, she returns in the comfort knowing that they are there to take her stress away and help her relax. While she was actually initially featured as a faceless character in the comics, she was given a face later on the comics. She is also further fleshed out, given character and personality in the new 2019 Netflix series. She struggles with problems a lot of us probably go through like how to deal with uncontrollable online shopping compulsions, career goals and romantic woes. However, like us, she finds her solace at home with Rilakkuma and the small family that gathered around her.

Korilakkuma

Photo: “Rilakkuma and Kaoru” ©2019 San-X Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved
Korilakkuma is a white bear with a red button on her chest. No one knows where Korilakkuma comes from and like Rilakkuma, she suddenly appeared in Kaoru’s home. She is very energetic and mischievous. She likes tricks and pranks and likes to draw in Rilakkuma’s face when he’s sleeping. She also has a remote-controlled duck that she plays with often.

Kiiroitori

Photo: “Rilakkuma and Kaoru” ©2019 San-X Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved
Kiiroitori literally translates as yellow bird. He is Kaoru’s pet that lives inside a birdcage but is free to fly and leave it anytime he pleases. He often scolds Rilakkuma for his laziness and Korilakkuma for her naughtiness. Unlike the bears, he is portrayed as one with maturity and logic. Kiiroitori is a perfect balance to his housemates, and is the voice of reason. He likes to keep busy, clean the apartment and takes care of the bears when Kaoru is not at home.

Chairoikoguma

A new bear in the block that joined the family in 2016. Chairoikoguma is a bear who lives in a Honey Forest and was initially befriended by Korilakkuma. Unlike Korillakuma and Rilakkuma, he is most likely a real bear with fangs, paws, furry and a love of honey. He is also usually drawn in all fours. He also has a bee friend that is sometimes found attached to him, Kumanbachi.
Rilakkuma merch could be found scattered in Japan. In 2012, Rilakkuma was featured in Tower Records as its mascot, having a ‘Relaxed Tour 2012’ with special edition promotional goods. Special promotional Rilakkuma goods can be seen in Lawson and also enjoyed campaigning with the busy JR Yamanote Line in Tokyo. You could also enjoy original Rilakkuma merch in our Yume Twins subscription boxes delivered right straight to your home from Japan.
If you see Rilakkuma, remember that there is more to life than working all the time. Like Kaoru, a full day of work or school is enough, and home should be a place of solace and rest. Take your time to spend with your loved ones, no matter how trivial it could be. Only then you could be truly recharged and prepared to take on the world in a brand-new day.
Who is your favorite Rilakkuma character and why? In what way does Rilakkuma give you happiness? Is there certain Rilakkuma merch that you want to get your hands on? Let’s talk cute and gush about our favorite teddy bear (or is he?)!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Doraemon: The Cute Japanese Character That Stole Hearts Across the World

Doraemon: The Cute Japanese Character That Stole Hearts Across the World​

By Jen

January 18, 2021



f73a8457-a8ef-4b21-8fd7-681dd5790d79_unnamed284329.jpg

Since his debut in the original manga’s release back in 1969, the futuristic blue robotic cat Doraemon has been capturing the hearts of kids and adults alike.​

For many of us who didn’t grow up in Japan, Doraemon was our first introduction to Japanese culture. We got to see what a typical home was like for these cartoon characters and what their life in Japan was like, albeit with a little bit of extra hijinx sprinkled in.
Before we dive into the extent of the cultural impact and international influence that the Doraemon series holds, it’s worth explaining who and what Doraemon is for those who never got to know him.

The creation of Doraemon
Doraemon was created by Fujiko Fujio, which — you might be surprised to know — is actually the pen name for a duo of manga artists, Hiroshi Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko. The original published form of Doraemon first appeared in 1969 through the monthly children’s magazine, Shogakukan. Since the intended audience leaned towards the younger side, the story was written with a light-hearted tone to make it appealing to children.
The idea for the Doraemon series didn’t come as a single stroke of genius, but instead, as three very unconnected things. Hiroshi Fujimoto was said to have found inspiration because he tripped over one of his daughter’s toys, heard cats fighting in his neighborhood, and was also hoping for a machine to help him come up with a new idea for a manga. Interestingly enough, he combined all three of these incidents and arrived at the idea for what would later become a very “kawaii” character.
After seeing the popularity of the original manga series, there was an initial attempt to jumpstart an anime series back in 1973. However, it wasn’t until 1979 — during the second attempt at creating Doraemon anime — that the hit show we know and love today would be born.
Doraemon and his group of friends

The story of Doraemon
The story of Doraemon begins with the duo of Doraemon and Nobita. Nobita Nobi is a bespectacled Japanese fifth-grader who is depicted as uncoordinated, lazy, and bad at school. One day, Doraemon, a robotic cat from the 22nd century, gets sent back to the past via a time machine with a mission of taking care of Nobita.
From here, we are introduced to the variety of cute Japanese characters that are a part of Nobita’s life. Since Nobita is an only child, his parents Nobisuke, a typical Japanese salaryman, and Tamako, his stay-at-home mother, are constants in his day-to-day life. Despite being quite a caring mother, Tamako often ends up being disappointed with Nobita’s laziness and has to scold or punish him for him to do anything. Meanwhile, Nobisuke is the more easy-going parent and is the one who finds himself mediating between his wife and his son.

Bring home your favorite kawaii characters direct from Japan with YumeTwins – a kawaii subscription box with new adorable merch every month!

Other kids from Nobita’s neighborhood frequently join in on his and Doraemon’s adventures. Shizuka is a smart and pretty girl that serves as both Nobita’s best friend and love interest. Gian and Suneo are two other kids that sometimes hang around Nobita. Gian is described as the “local bully who likes taking other kids’ stuff”, and Suneo, on the other hand, is a rich kid who likes to show off his brand new toys, which then results in some jealousy and rivalry from Nobita’s side.
To help Nobita deal with the trouble he gets himself into, Doraemon provides access to all sorts of fascinating gadgets from the future. Some of the most famous ones include the “Anywhere Door”, which allows its users to transport anywhere in the universe by just saying the word, and the Time Machine, the same futuristic device that Doraemon used to land in the past. These gadgets are part of what made the series so famous, and they’re also why so many kids who read the manga or saw the show wished they could have their own futuristic robotic cat.

The Legacy of Doraemon
Over five decades since the manga was first published, the legacy of Doraemon is still going strong. In 2013, the movie “Doraemon: Nobita’s Secret Gadget Museum” was released, and it was a huge box office hit in Japan, reaching 3.98 billion yen and placing it as the 5th highest-grossing film in the country.
And thanks to its amusing story and light-hearted fun, Doraemon found itself an audience all over the world, with the anime series being available in over 30 different countries. An English version with accompanying English dubs was aired in North America, and in countries like Spain, China, and Korea, the show was also localized to appeal to their target audience.
In addition to being such a success all over the world, Doraemon also paved the way for other cute Japanese characters to make it onto the mainstream — characters such as Sanrio’s Little Twin Stars, an adorable pair of angel-like figures named Kiki and Lala, and Sumikkogurashi, a group of colorful animals that’s one of the newer kawaii characters that Japan has become obsessed with.
Doraemon the kawaii and loveable Japanese character

The story of Doraemon is one that anybody can enjoy. It’s been over 50 years since the original manga was first published, and Doraemon has proven himself not just as a unique and cute Japanese character, but also as an icon that transcends countries and generations.

Warm wishes to the Yumetwins family!

It’s that exciting time of year when many people are busy with preparation but looking forward to the hope and possibility that a new year promises! What kinds of traditions are you keen to celebrate this month? We hope that however your spend your festivities you’ll have a joyous time surrounded by love, family, and friends. This month we’ve prepared a festive welcome to 2020 with our bright and cheerful Tokyo Disney Parade box!

A Japanese New Years

The New Years holiday (お正月;oshougatsu) is traditionally the biggest event in the Japanese calendar. Preparation starts early, and many people clean their homes from top to bottom until they’re spick-and-span. It’s the goal of many people to have the lowest amount of work possible to do on January 1st, and as a result, much food preparation is done beforehand as well. Most people tend to be on holiday from work for a few days during this season, and they ring in the new year with their families in a very peaceful atmosphere. This is in contrast to the glitzy parties that are usual in many countries. How do you celebrate the arrival of a new year in your country? Would you like to experience oshougatsu in Japan someday?

Despite the quiet atmosphere that comes with New Years in Japan, the postal service has its busiest day of the year on January 1st. Why is this? The majority of people in Japan write special New Years postcards called nengajou to their friends and family to serve as the first official greeting of the new year. And keeping with tradition, these postcards are gathered and organized throughout December, and then delivered all at once to virtually every single household in the country on December 1st.

What kinds of designs are featured on nengajou? Well, it’s really up to you! Some people like to design their own with online tools offered by Japan Post, while others are happy to go shopping for their favorite cute ones in stores. Generally though, the most popular themes tend to be of the new year’s Chinese Zodiac animal. For 2020, the Zodiac animal is the mouse! There are all sorts of fun mouse motifs that you’ll be able to find, and everyone’s beloved Mickey & Minnie Mouse play a big part in our Tokyo Disney Parade YumeTwins theme for January, helping us all to welcome good luck in the new year!
It will be a busy month ahead for everyone, but we wish you the best of health and happiness as you ring in the new year with your loved ones. And if you try your hand at any Japanese New Year dishes, we’d love to hear about it with #yumetwins on social media!

6 Sailor Moon Cafes Are Coming to Japan This Fall!​

By Selly

October 04, 2019

After the Sailor Moon Restaurant got your cravings covered in August, LEGS COMPANY LTD has announced that they will open six Sailor Moon cafes simultaneously in Fall 2019. Are you guys excited?!
Since the Sailor Moon Cafe in 2017 was a huge hit, they are now planning to launch a new Sailor Moon Cafe this year with the concept of “Girls Night Out”. This concept refers to some of the dishes that will be only available at dinner time, which surely satisfy ladies on a night out. These Sailor Moon cafes will not only be open in Tokyo, but also in Osaka, Nagoya, Hokkaido, Fukuoka, and Saitama prefecture, one for each area.
Now, let’s see the menu line-ups which will be served in all six Sailor Moon Cafes!
Moonlight Risotto
edbee2c1-8a94-4b00-8890-57902d16a84a_unnamed281229.jpg

The risotto is shaped like a crescent moon and is made with delicious cheese for added creaminess. This dish is accompanied by four Inner Sailor Senshi symbol decorated sauces, and comes with a salad as the side dish. How pretty is this?
Tortilla Wrap Plate
e55cae7e-4028-4632-abd0-b8cc41ffda2e_unnamed281329.jpg

Which heroine is your favorite from Sailor Moon? Can’t choose one? Well, this dish has got your back since all of the Sailor Senshi heroines are represented in the Tortilla Wrap Plate, dressed with a green leafy salad and cherry tomatoes. Sadly, this dish is not available in the Saitama location.
Maiden’s Lunch Pancake
93366f96-c016-41d4-b379-0014b0d79a70_unnamed281429.jpg

The crescent moon and rabbit-shaped pancake dish is only available during lunchtime. It has fruit salad as dressing with a few strips of bacon.
Now, moving on to the dinner-exclusive dishes, there are:
Girls Night Out Chicken Steak
adff8acd-078c-43fd-9aa3-b7ebdd743d21_unnamed281529.jpg

This one is decorated with Sailor Moon symbols, doesn’t it look pretty?
Girls Night Out Lasagna

The Sailor Moon Lasagna has a touch of cinnamon, not to forget the symbols of our heroines on the sides as well.
Cosmic Heart Berry Sandwich
0b3851c2-cfd3-4cc4-bceb-fb4eaf8f36b0_unnamed281729.jpg

This berry sandwich which has strawberry and blueberry as its dressing is shaped beautifully as the Cosmic Heart Compact! How pretty is this?
Haruka and Michiru Night Drive Parfait
67b242ad-b5c6-4bff-bca8-75f02a5d9f16_unnamed281829.jpg

Made from pistachio ice cream and mint gelatin, this parfait perfectly represents the romantic relationship between Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune.
Speaking of Sailor Moon parfaits, you can order single-character parfaits saluting Sailor Moon’s mentor cats:
Luna Mini Jar Parfait
7f71a0d8-2c56-4852-b52b-adb48cd1a67b_unnamed281929.jpg

Any Luna fans here? You can order this Luna Mini Jar Parfait served with vanilla ice cream and grape gelatin.
Artemis Mini Jar Parfait
c9c65d18-adf8-41eb-ad18-d1a5fbb0321d_unnamed282029.jpg

The Artemis character Mini Jar Parfait is served with almond tofu, like a sweet almond flavored pudding almost. Sounds like such an interesting flavor, doesn’t it?
Diana Mini Jar Parfait
32a5a485-7772-4f47-9f33-be4ecc4e5c7c_unnamed282129.jpg

The apple gelatin is the main star in this Diana character parfait. Have you tried apple gelatin before?
Moon Knight Parfait
e808fb32-fb7c-461a-a6a6-451f64c40a1f_unnamed282229.jpg

An exclusive, you can only order this parfait at dinnertime. It’s inspired by Tuxedo Mask’s Arabian Knights phase.
There’s also a recreation of the apple pie made by Usagi Tsukino, paying homage to Sailor Moon episode 18:

You can also pick one of their non-alcoholic cocktails which you can see from the pictures below:

bfd3e271-ce6a-4174-93ab-ce2a5ee7d500_unnamed282829.jpg

Each cafe from all of the branches will also have an exclusive gift shop which is selling merchandise and goodies such as notebooks, clear files, smartphone cases, and dishware. You can also visit the Sailor Moon Store in Tokyo to get even more exclusive and rare merchandise of your favorite heroine.

Since the cafes will prioritize reservations over walk-ins, we strongly recommend that you visit the official website and maybe get a reservation booked first before going to the cafe. Would you participate in a ladies night out to the Sailor Moon Cafe?

Do You Know About Cinnamoroll?​

By Ana

August 06, 2019

Who doesn’t know about Sanrio? With its famous characters such as Hello Kitty, My Melody and Keroppi, Sanrio is dearly loved by many all around the globe. Sanrio actually has SO many characters that people might not even know about, check out the most hilarious Sanrio characters that you (most likely) have never heard of!
Another cute character that falls under the ‘famous’ category from Sanrio is Cinnamoroll. Created in 2002, Cinnamoroll is one of Sanrio’s characters that have their own series; definitely a famous character, right?
If you think Cinnamoroll is a female character, well… let us tell you that Cinnamoroll is actually a male white puppy character! With a pair of blue eyes, chubby pink cheeks, and a curly tail that resembles a cinnamon roll (hence his name, haha!), he looks so cute that a lot of people assumed he was a female character (even us!). Another distinct feature is his pair of long fluffy ears which also functions as his wings so he can fly around the cloud!
Before continuing about Cinnamoroll, make sure you have read our article about 5 facts you didn’t know about Cinnamoroll!
13c9a4cd0f6709036ba3168ae3e633a441a68af3_cin1.jpg

Cinnamoroll’s story took place in the Cinnamon Cafe and its surrounding. One day, the owner of Cinnamon Cafe, Belbel, was admiring the beautiful sky when she discovered a tiny white puppy floating in the sky. It was Cinnamoroll! Belbel thought that Cinnamoroll came by because he smelled the tasty smell of cinnamon rolls from her cafe, so she decided to give some cinnamon rolls to him. Cinnamoroll immediately fell in love with both her and her cinnamon rolls, so he decided to stay in the cafe. Belbel called him Cinnamon because of the unique shape of his tail.
With his cuteness, he became instantly famous as the mascot of Cinnamon Cafe. His manga and animation series tell us the story of his adventures around the town when he wasn’t taking a nap in the cafe terrace. Of course, as a famous little puppy, he has a lot of friends including Mocha, Chiffon, Cappuccino, Espresso, and Little Milk. Cinnamoroll also has to face the antagonist, a dark cloud named Cavity. Their adventures were fun and adorable to follow!
74728621e9a2ca8f0ef491a39728ec38991f927b_cin2.jpg

Cinnamoroll stars in a manga series titled “Fluffy, Fluffy Cinnamoroll” that was serialized in Japan from 2004 through 2008 and an animation movie titled “Cinnamoroll: The Movie” that was aired in 2007. Aside from the manga and animation movie, Cinnamoroll also appeared in two various animations, such as Lloromanic and Cinnamoangels. Don’t forget that he has his own novel adaptation titled “Cinnamoroll: Cinnamon’s Wonderland Trip” and several picture books!
42ec165411d2c0437fdc80a183612ce275cedb87_cin4.jpg

The popularity of Cinnamoroll is so great he won Sanrio Character Ranking two years in a row (2017-2018). Sanrio Character ranking is the biggest annual character competition held by Sanrio that started in 1986. In 2018, Cinnamoroll won the first place of the most famous Sanrio character, beating the other 100 characters by getting more than 520 thousand votes from the total 4.8 million votes. There are only a few characters who have achieved to become a consecutive winner, such as Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, and My Melody.
So, what do you think about Cinnamoroll? Do you think he will become a champion again this year?

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›Pokemon Mascots? Japans New Ambassador Craze!

Pokemon Mascots? Japans New Ambassador Craze!​

By Sabrina

July 24, 2019



2bdb8118c6812784346f1d9e85101e2f1c8c314c_mascotmain-1.jpg

Pokemon is an undeniable worldwide craze. It seems that nothing can stop the brands popularity, especially with the recent Detective Pikachu movie and the continued resurgence in popularity of Pokemon Go. So of course it comes as no surprise that Japan more than anyone loves their beloved home grown franchise. From Pokemon Onesies to Pikachu home goods and of course the well known Pokemon Cafe providing enough Pokemon themed food that you could almost literally eat, sleep and breath Pokemon! But who would have ever guessed that certain Pokemon would become so loved that they would get jobs within local politics and government?!
We’ve found four Japanese prefectures who loved certain Pokemon so much that they’ve been made into official mascots and even ambassadors for them. Let them guide you to their local specialties now!

1. Sandshrew: Tottori Prefecture​

2d25bb3a602c62ec411c06c3bf72aaa00bb9f63e_mascottottori.jpg

Tottori Prefecture was perhaps the first to trail-blaze this new craze of inviting Pokemon to become mascots to their prefecture. Why Sandshrew you ask? Well, Tottori prefecture is actually famous for being the only desert region on the main islands of Japan, making Sandshrew a perfect choice for their mascot! Since deserts aren’t really what you think of when you think about Japan’s nature, Tottori decided the cute shrew-like Pokemon would be the best at drawing attention to their less well known attractions.
In fact, this year Tottori ran the “Sandshrew, Come!” Festival in which 35 locations participated, visitors being able to purchase local goods or complete activities as part of a stamp rally. Getting a certain number of stamps earns you a certain kind of prize depending on the number collected. Pokemon Go players were even treated to special prize draws and the chance to get more Alolan Sandshrew more often!

2. Chansey: Fukushima Prefecture​

5596ce9e9c2856592ff7d36076fd55418e68b1f7_mascotfukushima.jpg

Fukushima made a wonderful choice for their mascot when they picked the pink Pokemon Chansey as their ambassador. The plump pink Pokemon, associated in the series for being an aide at the Pokemon Centers already seems like an apt enough choice to help ‘heal’ the prefecture after the 2011 disasters. Did you know though that Chansey is known as “Lucky” in Japan and Fukushima can be translated to “Lucky Island” in English? With all of that considered it seems like a match made in heaven! With the partnership lasting until after the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Fukushima is hoping that Chansey will help draw in more visiters to their area!

3. Slowpoke: Kagawa Prefecture​

84dd7ce8bd59d7ea8b278de7496d502b259c44cd_mascotkagawa.jpg

Back in 2018, Kagawa Prefecture in Japan and The Pokemon Company worked together to rename the prefecture Slowpoke Prefecture as part of an elaborate April Fool’s joke. Well, that didn’t last long as in a short campaign the lazy Pokemon became the official mascot of the region! Kagawa, well known for their Udon made the joke based on the Japanese name of the Pokemon, “Yadon” which sounds a little like “udon”. A little strange for English speakers, I know, but pretty hilarious in Japan! Once again, the collaboration involved plenty of Pokemon Go related goodies and local events. Probably a little too much for a true Slowpoke to handle!

4. Geodude: Iwate Prefecture​

bfa3775b6e12ff535e872503d51df8d5ce3ec744_mascotiwat.jpg

Iwate Prefecture stepped up to the plate next with their choice of the rock-ground type Pokemon, Geodude. Certainly not the cutest of Pokemon to choose to be the official tourism ambassador of your region, right? Well, it makes a little more sense when you know that Iwate’s kanji translates to both “rock” and “hand” making Geodude stand out amongst his fellow more furry companions! His costume might seem a little strange with the grey and white leg patterned legs, but this was to try and help visitors envision Geodude floating easier and to ensure everyone has a “pleasant encounter” with the mascot. You can even check out his official theme song here!

5. Lapras: Miyagi Prefecture​

0443983c72358df145a643a11311e23280acc171_mascotmiyagi.jpg

Lapras might have just stolen the title of cutest official prefecture mascot (unless you’re counting Pikachu and Eevee, of course!) from Sandshrew now that Miyagi Prefecture has launched their tourism campaign. The reason seems a little less clear than the others, however Lapras is certain to help the prefecture with their post-2011 recovery. Plus his waddling is super cute to say the least!

Who knows whether there will be more Pokemon mascots in the future? I’m sure we might see more in the coming months leading up towards next year and the Tokyo Olympics! Who would you want as your own personal Pokemon mascot? Let us know in the comments below!

It’s quite spacious as this cafe has 193 seats and is divided into 4 sections; “Mushroom Disco”, “Milk Stand”, “Bar Experiment”, and “Mel-Tea Room”. They describe their cafe as a “Monster” that gobbles things up and expands, creating a unique culture in the process. Since their opening in August 2015, this cafe has gained more and more popularity over the years. Now, to celebrate their 4th anniversary while at the same year Hello Kitty is turning 45, they’re presenting a special collaboration called Harajuku x Kawaii x Hello Kitty.

The highlight of this cafe is the special Hello Kitty Room in the Mel-Tea Room; one of the most popular sections of the cafe. Mel-Tea Room has temporarily went through a re-modification to change into a Hello Kitty design which is such a dream come true! You will be welcomed with all pastels decorating the walls, colorful and kawaii food, also plenty of Hello Kitty furnishings all around you throughout the interior. However, tables in this room are only available by reservation and the visiting time is limited to 2 hours. Well, that’s should be enough time to experience the Hello Kitty Paradise, right? Or, do you need more than 2 hours to cherish this Hello Kitty heaven? 😂
Did we mention about the colorful and kawaii food? Yup! Kawaii Coffee Monster also have an extra special menu of Hello Kitty-themed dishes, made up of eight colorful ingredients and garnishes. They are Hello Kitty Burger with a Rainbow Cheese Sauce and Hello Kitty Harajuku Rainbow Curry. How unique is that? The rainbow curry itself is designed as adorable as it can be. The rice is shaped like Hello Kitty, dipped in a creamy curry and rainbow sauce on top of the rice. These Hello Kitty dishes are definitely made up specially for you, Hello Kitty lovers!

But that’s not all though! When you order something off of the Hello Kitty menu, you will also be gifted a special limited edition coaster featuring Hello Kitty in Kawaii Monster Cafe fashion, the Cafe’s mascot Mr. Choppy, or both. If the cafe happens to get SUPER busy and you (sadly) can’t make it to get a reservation in, we have good news for you! The Kawaii Monster Cafe plans to release various Hello Kitty merchandise to be exclusively sold in Kawaii Monster’s merchandise shop which means….you can still get your limited-edition Hello Kitty goodies from Kawaii Monster such as keychains, mugs, cookies and many more, even when you don’t get to experience the cafe! But hey, do you need more girly merchandise? We recommend you to check Sailor Moon Store in Tokyo, especially if you love Sailor Moon!

That’s all we got from this exciting collaboration from Kawaii Coffee Monster x Hello Kitty. You definitely don’t want to miss this place especially if you’re looking for something colorful and everything kawaii, or even want to have a taste of Hello Kitty-themed dishes. In case you’re looking for another cute cafe but with different vibe from this cute, vibrant Kawaii Monster Cafe, you can look around the most popular pet cafes in Tokyo! Pet cafes are also cute but they’re usually more toned-down and lively 😊
Anyhow, make sure to get your reservation today, because the Mel-Tea room and all Hello Kitty foodies and goodies are only available until September 1st, 2019!

Do you like kawaii things? Lot of you may know what is kawaii, but have you known what kawaii really means? According to Wikipedia, Kawaii (かわいい, pronounced [kaɰaiꜜi]; “lovable”, “cute”, or “adorable”) is the culture of cuteness in Japan. It can refer to items, humans and even characters that are charming, vulnerable, shy, and childlike. Examples include cute handwriting, certain genres of manga, and characters like Hello Kitty and Pikachu.
The cuteness culture, or kawaii aesthetic, has became a thing in Japanese popular culture, entertainment, clothing, food, toys, personal appearance, and mannerisms. No wonder, there are many Japanese people, especially girls, that have incorporated kawaii culture to their lifestyle!
You may like kawaii things (who doesn’t like cute plushies???), especially since YumeTwins is all about kawaii items. You also may have kawaii corner in your bedroom, but you will be amazed with how these girls take kawaii lifestyle to a whole new level!

Who are the Little Twin Stars?​

By Sabrina

June 07, 2019



0f0ce739ed6d4eab4389303f01c09bde77d891e5_ltsthumb.jpg

Everyone knows about Hello Kitty and My Melody, but maybe some of you are less familiar with the adorable Little Star Twins? It might surprise you to know that this kawaii pair have been about since 1975! Σ(▼□▼メ) You’ve probably seen them featured on a lot of Sanrio related goods before, but maybe you’ve never felt the need to become a fan of this particular franchise? Well, we’re pretty big fans here at YumeTwins, so we thought we’d take the time to introduce you to them a little more, let you get to know them a little better and then maybe you’ll end up wanting to cute up your life with these cuties!
f11018e3063e97e1dad90a35437b80dc5d9905a7_lts4.jpg

Of course, as twins these guys are brother and sister. The younger brother Kiki, and the older sister Lala! Did you know that they were both born on Christmas eve? In fact, to be more specific, they were born on Christmas Eve on the Omoiyari Star in the Dream Star-Cloud! That’s a little bit of a mouth full, right? A^-^) Their dream is to become the greatest, shiniest stars in the sky and so to do so they decided to travel all the way to Earth to become the best they could be!
8af195b3ce133364bd1c75c5e3b4c45c89c5b487_lts2.jpg

Let’s get a brief introduction to both of these guys! First up is the Younger Brother Kiki! His most defining feature is his short baby blue hair (although he has been seen sporting a brown style too!). You wouldn’t think to look at him, but he’s actually pretty smart! In fact outside of star-fishing, his favourite hobby is to invent new things! Because of this he has a lot of curiosity, although this has lead to him being a little cheeky at times…
c198c4fa6c2d6a6a358526836c10f34fea5d8fb9_lts3.jpg

Next up is the Older Sister Lala! Much like her Younger Brother, Lala has eye catching coral pink hair (but she sometimes switches it up for a blonde look!). Despite being older her personality is a little bit more timid than her Brothers, but she’s pretty creative too! In fact, her favourite hobbies include writing poems, drawing and she’s pretty good at cooking too! In fact, she regularly looks for her Younger Brother… lucky Kiki!

Well, there you have it. A brief introduction to the kawaii Little Twin Stars! How do you feel about them now? Now you know a little more about them, how about cheering them on in becoming the best, shiniest stars they can be?!

These kawaii Pikachu home goods are a must have for any Pokemon fan!​

By Sabrina

May 22, 2019

Did you ever dream about having a cute pet, or perhaps even an even cuter monster as a pet when you were a kid? Maybe you thought about this whilst watching one of your favourite TV shows? I can guarantee that almost anyone who watched Pokemon as a child thought about becoming a Pokemon trainer at least once. Who wouldn’t want to dream about getting your first Pokemon before you set out on your own amazing journey. And surely if that dream came true, there would be only one choice for most fans for a first furry companion… Pikachu!
For anyone who grew up with the franchise, it’s been an amazing journey watching the creation from The Pokemon Company, a legendary collaboration between Nintendo, Game Freak and Creatures, evolve into one of the worlds most well known brands. The original idea was thought up by Satoshi Tajiri in 1995, a little fun fact for you! Do you know which came first between the animation and the game too? It might surprise some people, but the game came first! But for many people not into gaming at the time, their first taste of the world of Pokemon was with the cartoon. No matter how you first learnt about this exciting world, almost everyone is hooked on it now!
There have been many Pokemon added to the roster since the original 150, but for many the most iconic is the yellow ball of fluff mascot, Pikachu! Do you even need to ask why? With his striking mix of bright yellow fur, red cheeks and pointed ears, that’s already enough to make most people aww, add his cute voice into the mix and for most it’s love at first sight! It’s no wonder that fans of Pokemon and Pikachu alike go mad for any Pikachu themed merchandise!
We’ve all seen the usual t-shirts and blankets, but how about something a little more unique? Here’s a list of some of the best we found!

1. Pikachu Cake Pan​

Ever wanted to bake our own cute Pikachu but you don’t have the time or gentle hands to craft his iconic shape? Perhaps a shortcut is in order. How about this adorable cake pan!
a82f9e41e76c71f87ec2d6fad090fe3461ca7743_jlou_pikachu_cake_pan_inuse.jpg

This Pikachu Cake Pan is too cute! Simply pour in your cake mix, or even jello and cool/bake away to eventually reveal your own Pikachu! Adorable and delicious to boot!
Just simply add some decorating with cream and chocolate here and there to make it look more like the real thing!

2. Pokemon Light-Up Pikachu Lamp​

Did you ever have a novelty shaped lamp when you were a kid? If you did, tell us what it was in the comments below! But I can almost guarantee you didn’t have this one… your very own light up Pikachu! When you turn on this Pikachu’s lamp you’ll never be afraid of the dark again! You can imagine your yellow companion is about to use Thunderbolt on any scary shadows lurking! It’s sure to keep you safe overnight! Isn’t it too cute?
d56d6c7f3a130ad42dad74be865dfeba266d5289_jqmn_lightup_pikachu_inuse.jpg

Like the look of this lamp? Did you know that YumeTwins is currently running a bonus goodies giveaway if you subscribe to the Premium Prepay plan now with code PIKACHUBONUS! Check out the potential goodies haul below!

3. Pikachu Coin Bank​

Sometimes it can be difficult to have motivation to save your money rather than spending it on more cute plushies or Pokemon goodies. In this case however, spending money to save money might be the right thing to do. What better way to save than with this Pikachu Coin Box! Simply place a coin on the yellow Pokeball symbol and what happens next? A cheeky Pikachu comes out of hiding to steal your coins away! Pika Pika~!

4. Pikachu in the Forest Plate​

Feel like your kitchen items need a little more kawaii factor? Nothing could be better than this plate of Pikachu hanging out with his friends, Pichu and Oddish! This too cute to be true Pikachu Plate looks good enough to eat! Maybe seeing this sweet picture is the motivation needed to work through all those veggies you might have been hesitant to eat otherwise.

5. Pikachu Lunch Box​

Spring has arrived, and for many the best thing to do at this time of the year is to enjoy the weather with a picnic. Want to stand out from the crowd though? You’re sure to get some envious looks with this adorable lunch box! This bento style box has clasps on all four sides so your lunch will remain warm and most importantly safe. Fear not too, as you can get this lunch box in our shop immediately at JapanHaul! This even comes in kawaii mini size too!

These are some of the best we found but there are certainly a lot more than are still undiscovered out there. Pikachu fans, which one do you think is the most kawaii? Maybe you know of other Pokemon/Pikachu goods that are just as cute or cuter? Feel free to share your thoughts and finds, we’re looking forward to hearing from you!
By the way, psst… remember that Pikachu lamp you just saw? We’re giving away a super similar one as a bonus goodie giveaway if you subscribe to the Premium Prepay plan now with code PIKACHUBONUS! Sign up for a chance to grab this sweet swag now!

Pokemon Wedding Rings Captured Our Hearts​

Valentine’s Day is slowly approaching and romance is in the air! Within the themes of love and giving gifts, it only seemed natural for us to look into wedding rings for that picture perfect proposal! But of course here at YumeTwins, we couldn’t just settle for any old jewelry… we have discovered POKEMON WEDDING RINGS!
There are a lot of hearts out here and you can surely ‘catch them all’ with these rings… we taking it too far?
1faf2a29a995663dd0e30684392c1e6a6ff93449_pr-1.jpg

A Japanese jewelry brand by the name of U-Treasure released Pikachu wedding rings and bands for men and women around June of 2018. The Pikachu engagement rings of course feature our most beloved Pokemon character, Pikachu, being upscale and high class holding a compact melee diamond between his paws. His signature lightning bolt tale wraps around the slimming cut band designed to have the most flattering shape for your fingers. These designs clearly had a lot of thought put into them!

As for material you can choose between a mix of platinum 18-carat yellow gold, platinum, white gold and yellow gold mix, white gold, and yellow gold. All ranging from around 88,000 – 135,000.

U-Treasure also designed rings for the grooms as well with their Pokemon men’s wedding rings. The subtle design of the lighting bolt this shows off the fact that the groom is a Pokemon enthusiast without having to be very flashy.

And the best part? You can now propose with a POKE BALL! You read that right! The Poke Ball Accessory Case is the cherry on top to the fabulous Pikachu engagement and wedding rings. At this point we don’t care who proposes to us. We will shout a big fat “I DO” to anyone who would propose with a Poke Ball with a Pikachu ring inside!

YumeTwins Kawaii Culture Blog›8 Facts you didn’t know about Kuromi

8 Facts you didn’t know about Kuromi​

By Jojo

February 07, 2019



8d3ef248a993486161bc04296565083b58bb370c_100116-blog-main-img-oct-fotm-ku.jpeg

Cheeky, punky yet cute: that’s Kuromi! She’s been around for years yet we still know little about her besides the fact that she’s a character from Sanrio, the same company famous for Hello Kitty. If you’re curious about Kuromi then keep reading!
Kuromi is often seen together with Sanrio character My Melody but did you know that the two are actually rivals? My Melody made her debut in 1975 when she appeared as Hello Kitty’s best friend in the tv series The Adventures of Hello Kitty and Friends but Kuromi made her debut a lot later in 2005 in the tv series Onegai My Melody.
9679b23138295a3e8bbe9a4c1b8eba0430d226cd_onegai.my_.melody.full_.47587.jpg

The story:
“Kuromi, an escaped prisoner from Mari Land, has the Melody Key, an artifact with dream-corrupting powers, and she and her partner Baku have plans to gather 100 black notes to revive the Spirit of Dark Power. What for? To get back at her rival, My Melody, for the turmoil My Melody caused her (by accident, to be clear). When Kuromi ventures into the human world, she meets, teams up with, and even falls madly in love with Keiichi Hiiragi, a popular high school boy in Yumegaoka.
My Melody, with the Melody Takt, Melody Candies, and Melody Box in hand, ventures into the human world herself to gather 100 pink notes to stop Kuromi’s disastrous plans. There, My Melody meets Uta Yumeno and her friends and they become partners in the quest to stop Kuromi’s plans and save both the human world and Mari Land.” source
We knew that Kuromi was a bit cheeky but a prisoner?
yumetwins2F2aa9d548-102c-4bf4-9b48-d978b5a6b430_tenor.gif

Here are some more facts about Kuromi that you maybe didn’t know:
1. Kuromi and My Melody are rivals but the two don’t actually hate each other, when My Melody locked herself in a cabinet Kuromi told her that if she dies, who will she fight?
cbfc1bb0ff7b6634322283a6dd820c5ee8d87ae5_dfdfd.jpg

2. Kuromi is a tomboy but is secretly also very girly: she has a soft spot for cute guys.
yumetwins2F95b9139a-bd23-4f66-a648-78f19cf5de8d_dsdsd.gif

3. Kuromi’s favorite color is black (duh)
014ad0cdd6afda4f672ffcbe81728a536c3cce85_sdfsd.jpg

4. Kuromi’s hobbies include: writing in her diary, cooking and reading romance novels.
0613073d0ee24c342609e174859751b873423a51_sdsdfsdfsd.jpg

5. Kuromi is the leader of a biker gang (well they ride tricycles) the members of Kuromi’s 5 are: Nyanmi, Wanmi, Konmi and Chumi.
424c9073b5eccdf851a7413a02f9424338aa1d7a_100116-fb-fotm-oct-ku-ku5.jpeg.jpg

6. Kuromi’s sidekick is called Baku: a flying tapir.
4364e40a0399969b77b81fbd8ace630eaabf69da_f.jpg

7. Kuromi’s favorite food? Shallots!

8. Kuromi used to be friendly but became convinced that My Melody is trying to ruin her life because of some accidents that happened like My Melody ripping out Kuromi’s notebook.
ad17df5dff613a41ccccb7c17e70dea013a38df9_fgfgf.jpg

Let us know what you think of Kuromi! Who is your favorite Sanrio character? Personally I like her a lot because she isn’t overly sweet or innocent like Hello Kitty or My Melody and let’s be real: no one is! Sanrio characters like Kuromi but also the lazy Gudetama and angry Aggretsuko have gained more popularity the past years because people can relate to them.

I am in love with Kuromi!!!!!!!!!!! She is my favorite 💗I love the fact she isn’t a goody two shoes because no one is perfect meaning we are going to be little devils once in a while. But that doesn’t mean we should purposely be evil or unkind.

Kawaii Creed – Your one-stop shop for cute plushies and stuffed animals​

Cute plushies and kawaii stuffed animals are fantastic gifts for any occasion. They make great cute presents, cute birthday gifts, cute Christmas presents – you name it! There’s a cute stuffed animal or a cute plushie for every occasion. If you’re looking for cute stuffed animals and kawaii plushies, we have tons to choose from in our store!

Why kawaii plushies and stuffed animals are a great gift​

For most people, stuffed animals are a childhood relic. They’re probably sitting in the back of your closet collecting dust and worse than that – they might be one of those things you don’t even think about because it’s just too hard to throw them out. The very idea of giving someone an old teddy bear or some other toy animal might seem pretty weird.
But the truth is, there are lots of grown-ups out there who love stuffed animals and plushies – they may not have kids but they still want to snuggle up with a cute toy or just play pretend for fun. And what better way to make someone happy than by giving them something that brings back memories from their past. So, cute plushies and cute stuffed animals are fantastic gifts for any occasion.

Tips for buying the perfect cute stuffed toy for your loved ones​

-When shopping for an adorable plush toy or stuffed animal, make sure to think about the person you are buying it for. Pick something they will also enjoy. The best thing to do is ask them. It can be hard but making that effort and asking what they want will show you care about them a lot!
-If you’re not too sure what would be good, take a look at their social media accounts and see if that gives any indication of what the perfect gift might be. Maybe they post a lot about their pets, or they seem to really enjoy cute things.
-You can always give them the gift of choice! Ordering online for someone else might be easier than going into stores and looking around, but it’s not as personal. Make sure you tell your loved one why this item is perfect for them.

How to take care of your new toy so it lasts longer​

-Don’t use sharp objects, as it can tear or rip the fabric
-Be aware of what materials are used in your toy so you know how to take care of it properly! Different materials require different things. For example, stuffed animals and plushies made with wool might be more delicate than those that are not.
-Use a damp cloth to clean stains from the toy
-Clean the toy by hand rather than with harsh chemicals. You can use warm water and soap, or for stuffed animals, you might want to try using just distilled white vinegar instead of soap
-Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when it comes to dry cleaning your plushie!
-If your toy is made of materials that are sensitive to sunlight, remember not to leave it in direct sunlight
-Remember: plushies and stuffed animals can be a part of the family! They should get treated with care 🙂

What is the difference between a plushie and a stuffed animal?​

-A plushie is a stuffed toy that can be made of fabric or other materials (most often from felt) and they are usually smaller in size. Plushies are also called stuffed animals, but the term ‘plush toy’ usually refers to one that is made of a more durable and less expensive material such as polyester.
-The term ‘stuffed animals’ typically refer to ones with cotton stuffing, which come in all shapes and sizes! They’re the perfect gift for kids as well as adults.

Frequently Asked Questions​

How much is a plushie?​

A plushie starts at $20 USD on average and goes up to $150 USD.

Are plushies childish?​

Plushies are very popular with children and adults alike. They’re a great way to bring joy into your life, whether you’re feeling down or just want to treat yourself! Kids love to cuddle with plushies, while grown-ups often use them as decorations or gifts.

How long do plushies last?​

Plushies can last for several years. The lifespan of your favorite plushie all depends on how well it’s taken care of.

Where to put plushies?​

Some people store their plushies in a box or chest, while others might hang them on the wall. The choice largely depends on where one’s room is located and if they want to show off their collection of stuffed animals for everyone to see. There are plenty of other places to keep your plushies: under your bed, in a closet, in your dresser, under a desk, etc.

Why are plushies so cute?​

– They’re just so soft and huggable. Kids love to cuddle with them when they watch TV, take a nap, or play board games.
– The bright colors make us happy! Soft crinkly noise can also be soothing for babies who are learning how to sleep in their own cribs without the blanket of mom.
– The biggest reason plushies are so cute, is because they remind us of how much we need human contact. It’s a simple reminder that someone cares about you and wants to spend time with you. We can’t forget the power of touch.

About tokidoki​

tokidoki, which translates to “sometimes” in Japanese, is an internationally recognized and iconic lifestyle brand based on the vision of Italian artist Simone Legno and his partners, serial entrepreneurs Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold. Since debuting in 2005, tokidoki has amassed a cult-like following for its larger-than-life characters and emerged as a sought- after global lifestyle brand. tokidoki offers an extensive range of products which include apparel, handbags, cosmetics, accessories, toys and more. Simone Legno, tokidoki’s creative director, was born in Rome, Italy and from a very young age developed a deep love of Japan and a fascination with world cultures. Combining Legno’s unique talent and creativity with Mohajer’s business acumen, tokidoki has grown exponentially. As an innovative company, tokidoki is known not only for its eye-popping aesthetic and criminally cute characters but also its megawatt partnerships.

Simone Legno​

Simone Legno (Co-Founder/Chief Creative Officer) of tokidoki was born in Rome, Italy. Legno drew incessantly as a child. The boxes of chewed, broken and unsharpened pencils he adored as a kid were the beginnings of a passion for art that led to the eventual creation of tokidoki.
tokidoki means “sometimes” in Japanese. Legno, who has always had a deep love of Japan and fascination with world cultures, chose the word because he feels “everyone waits for moments that change one’s destiny, by chance or by meeting a new person”. Simone's special moment arrived when his designs drew the attention of entrepreneurs Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold, who spied the art on his personal website and convinced him to move to L.A. to build a global brand.
tokidoki has collaborated with many brands such as Karl Lagerfeld, Guggenheim Museum, Sephora, LeSportsac, Onitsuka Tiger, Marvel, New Era, Hello Kitty, Fujitsu, Levi's, Xbox, T-mobile, Medicom Toy, MLB, Barbie, and Canon.
Simone has become a sought-after speaker around the world at museums, universities and conferences, from MOCA to the Adobe MAX conference, Flash Film Festival, Art Center College of Design, Apple store in Osaka, Istituto Europeo di Design, STGCC, and Grafika Manila.

Donutella and her sweet friends​

Donutella comes from a planet where sugar is used as energy. One day while out scouting the milky way for a new fuel source in her donut U.F.O., Donutella discovered planet Earth. On Earth, Donutella was excited to find a lot of sweets and treats to fuel herself and her people. Almost instantly Donutella realized that it would be much better to start a sweet colony here and invite all of her friends than to go back home

Cactus Friends​

The cactus is a sign of protection. Kids are naïve and vulnerable and need protection. SANDy and her friends zip themselves into cactus suits because they think the world is a cold and scary place, and they need some armor to face it. The cactus is the conserver of water, and water means life. The Cactus Friends are the representation of life, of being fragile and strong at the same time… and pure like water.

Moofia​

Mozzarella leads the Moofia. The Moofia was assembled to extort milk from the lunchboxes of schoolyard bullies. Mozzarella is loving and kind to good kids but ruthless and feared by those who harass the innocent. By taking the milk from the bad and giving it to the good, the Moofia know the good will grow up strong and healthy to protect themselves. Milk is power. Milk is protection.

Unicorno​

The Unicornos were once simple little ponies that were out trotting and wandered into a magic waterfall. Passing through the waterfall, the ponies transformed into unicorns and found a hidden magical kingdom. The Unicornos live between the magic kingdom and our world.

'Til Death Do Us Part​

Adios spent 500 years in fire and brimstone before the Devil discovered his good natured ways and kicked him out of Hell. Too mischievous for Heaven, Adios was condemned to live forever on earth, in his modern grave-loft with his girlfriend Ciao Ciao and their cat Skeletrino. Together, Adios and Ciao Ciao wander the world, sharing with others how to make the most out of this life.

Mermicorno​

One special night, a group of Unicornos were flying in the direction of falling stars. The falling stars were disappearing into a sparkly sea which transformed them into star fishes, while changing snowflakes into jelly fish. They rode the tail of a shooting star into the magical sea turning them into enchanting creatures of half Unicorno and half fish. One day while following migrating dolphins, they discovered the surface of our world. Thus began the legend of the Mermicornos, rumored to only resurface during a lunar eclipse.

Chibi Clash Chibi Clash




the lore​

The gateway to Shintidi, a mysterious new world will surface every 5555 years. Anticipating the reappearance of the gateway, warlords across the realm have summoned 5555 legendary warriors to enter Shintidi in hopes to establish an immortal kingdom in these new lands. The first chapter of Chibi Clash begins…
Chibi Clash is a play-to-earn blockchain gaming universe featuring staking, recruiting, a multiplayer auto battler, and more. Players take on the role of Warlords to recruit legendary warriors with unique abilities, lead their troops into battles, build their dream kingdom, and expand their empire.
BUY IN OPENSEA


about​

NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS (NFTS)
Playable characters and other features in Chibi Clash are represented by non-fungible tokens which have unique value. Owning a Chibi Legend NFT from the genesis collection grants access to certain airdrop whitelists and the use of that warrior for staking and recruiting.

FUNGIBLE TOKENS
$SHIN is the utility token used for recruiting new Chibis. $CLASH is the governance token that assigns voting rights and purchasing rights to the holder.

DECENTRALIZED GOVERNANCE
$CLASH token owners will form a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) to govern the development of the Chibi gaming universe.

REWARDS SYSTEM
Players are rewarded based on their contribution of time and resources to the gaming ecosystem.

WHAT IS THE CORE GAMEPLAY LIKE?​

Before every skirmish and during the countdown until the next skirmish: Players can switch their Chibi Champion’s skills, recruit troops from a predetermined shared draft, upgrade troops, sell troops, and arrange the troops’ formation by placing each troop onto the battlefield. Troops have different synergies and abilities to buff each other or counter the enemy.

During the skirmish, troops will automatically use their skills and attack their opponents until no troops remain in either or both armies. The defeated army loses morale and then at zero morale, is eliminated from the rest of the battle. 6 players will fight a series of 1v1 skirmishes in a battle royale until the last one standing is the winner.

A bit more about us​

We've been creating art ever since we were children. Being twins, it was only natural to work together in our own stories. We used to put in paper stories about characters from cartoons we liked back then, but soon we started to develop our own characters and worlds...
Studio Image

When we began to feel he need to share our art with everybody, we decided to become professionals.
Although our style is greatly manga-influenced, we're open to many other styles, such as USA superheroes and European (Italian and French).
To learn and improve constantly is one of our main goals. We're always exploring new fields and trying to get out of our "comfort zone".
"If you stop learning, you're dead!" is our main motto.

RESUME​

Here you'll see a brief list of our main works through the years.
As our clients are mostly private, you will see here only those works that have actually been published, but you'll get an idea of how busy we are!

Top 11 Must Watch Harajuku Fashion Documentaries
The fashion industry is very diverse and has a very different approach worldwide. But it is recognized that Japan has the world's most unusual, innovative, and often very weird but otherwise cool fashion statements, and it is evident that non-Japanese people have noticed and used the current cultures and subcultures in the said country as their own declaration of individuality and fashion choice.

.
Quite frequently, these styles are seen in Tokyo's Harajuku district, where anyone can be themselves openly without restrictions. In reality, many people come here just to dress differently or to explore their own uniqueness, how much they want to alter themselves. We will have a deeper understanding of certain cultures with the aid of short documentaries on how and why peculiar styles have become the way they are and how people actually embraced them.
.

Listed here are some short documentary videos that would help you explore furthermore about Harajuku and it's famous reputation as the main fashion district of Tokyo.
.

Kuua is an artist and influencer who is embracing her look called Yami Kawaii (sick cute). The style is generally all pastel and soft colors, but with a touch of black or dark themes. Medical and disturbing themes are often incorporated with kawaii so there are a lot of contrasting elements. The prints and design are portrayed as cute but with dark messages or words along with it. Accessories with medical themes are often used for this look.
Bisuko, an artist and illustrator pioneered the trend and he's to discuss how this theme and designs came to be, and how he wants to change the negative image of mental illness through his vision. This documentary is discussing mental health and could be triggering to some, so watch at your own risk. Japan has the highest suicide rates in the world and this was somehow inspired by that. This video will make you have a better understanding why this become a trend.

Ah, the kawaii culture, this is will be one of those fashion trends that would never die down, in fact, it is extending internationally where non-Japanese people are making this their lifestyle and fashion statement.
Kumamiki is a designer from Japan whose primary focus is on this trend. This video looks at how her passion for Kawaii came to be in a very personal way. She also says that being young and feeling young at heart is never a bad thing and should be embraced.
.
She talks about where and how she gets her inspiration from and how she incorporates them into her design which is always on the kawaii side.

6. Tokyo's genderless look​

Photo: i-D​

Exploring this style where a boy can wear clothing for girls and girls can wear clothing for boys, but their sexuality has nothing to do with this. They express themselves like that, because it's what makes them happy and relaxed. As long as they adopt their chosen form or style, they are not afraid of judgment from anyone.
.


For this style, a mix and match of both girl and boy clothing is prevalent, such as boys wearing skirts and pants underneath.
.


The idea is, regardless of gender, that you can literally wear anything.

How would they feel if their were asked to remove their makeup in public while wearing their fashion style for the day? Will they do it for a price? How does it feel if they did and what is the impact of this to their confidence?

How to be Kawaii: 9 Steps and Tips - The Complete Guide to Kawaii​

Apr 22, 2020 by Modakawa
Being a Kawaii girl is easy, as long as you know exactly what it takes to pull it off flawlessly.
The word Kawaii is best described as being cute, and wearing cute items and accessories, which has been made incredibly popular thanks to Japanese culture.
Do you want to know how to be kawaii?
The following article will show you how!

What is Kawaii?​

What is Kawaii?
Kawaii means "lovable" "adorable" or "cute," and refers to a wide variety of concepts. It can refer to humans, animals and inanimate objects that have a childlike aesthetic.
Some examples of Kawaii include the cartoon character Hello Kitty, as well as Pikachu and other Pokemon monsters.
Kawaii is more than just the Japanese term for "adorable" or "cute." It's a way of life for so many people everywhere.
The kawaii look has many influences. It's influenced by Japanese manga or anime. It's influenced by the general styles that are seen on the streets of Harajuku in Tokyo, Japan as well.
If you've ever spent an afternoon chowing down on crepes with strawberries and whipped cream on Takeshita Street in the Tokyo neighborhood, then you most likely have gotten a close glimpse at the kawaii scene in all of its glory.
marianna-ole-WdTaA61KskQ-unsplash_large.jpg

How to look Kawaii​

1. Styles​

If you want to know how to look Kawaii, all you have to do is take a look at what's most popular among young women in Japanese culture.
Currently, the two top Kawaii styles are decora and lolita.
Lolita fashion is rather self-explanatory, and is the most recognizable Japanese Kawaii fashion style.
lolita

This style of clothing often exaggerates childlike dresses with lots of frills and pastel colors. Bo Peep collars, ruffled petticoats and clunky Mary Jane shoes are popular in this style.
There is also the style of "Sweet Lolita," in Kawaii culture, which is just like the standard lolita style, but with far more ribbons, bows and frills. Flamboyantly curled hair, and very light makeup is often worn in addition to this style.
Decora is a Kawaii style that employs the use of jewelry and other accessories to the point of being considered excessive under any other circumstances.
decora fashion

Decora Kawaii girls like to pile on lots of colorful bracelets, hair bows and other "decorations," in an attempt to look as colorful and vibrant as possible.
These Kawaii cuties really know how to stand out in a crowd! Are you more interested in the Lolita look or the Decora look?
Making this decision is the first step in learning how to be Kawaii.

2. Tops​

Do you want to master how to be kawaii?
If you do, then you need to select all of the right tops.
Kawaii girls are often big on hoodies that have urban appeal in droves. They're often big on classic T-shirts that are nostalgic and reminiscent of childhood as well. Opt for sweatshirts that are vivid and striking.
kawaii tops
(Click on the image to discover more cute tops from Modakawa)
Go for T-shirts that have girlish tones, too.
Light pink, baby blue and pale yellow all tend to work like a charm.

3. Bottoms​

Being kawaii is all about being girly.
Kawaii girls tend to wear lots of dresses and skirts day in and day out. You can explore all of your options in dresses that epitomize the "Lolita" vibe.
You can explore Lolita-influenced skirts all the same. Suspender skirts are all the rage in the kawaii universe. These kinds of skirts can contribute to sultry yet undeniably youthful and cute feels. They can even showcase gorgeous gams to the rest of the planet.


It can be a piece of cake to find dresses that are suitable for kawaii style approaches. Be on the lookout for the girliest dresses around. Look for dresses in colors such as pink, red and purple.
Look for dresses that are full of elements such as bows, frills, ruffles and lace. Picture the dress your favorite childhood doll wore. If you can emulate it well, then you can get on the fast track to being kawaii.

Some of the cutest dresses also feature undeniable floral designs. It can be a cinch to look kawaii in a dress that has flowers everywhere. Look for dresses that put roses, sunflowers, lilies and daisies on display.

4. Accessories​

There are all sorts of accessories out there that can make you feel and appear like a bona fide "kawaii girl." It's vital to invest in accessories that can make your hair look like a million dollars.
Kawaii gals tend to put a lot of time and energy into enormous bows. You should look for massive bows in all sorts of traditionally kawaii colors like pink. Distinctive headbands can make you look kawaii.
If you want your locks to genuinely pop, you should search for any and all accessories that include elements like glitter, stars and hearts. It may even be a fantastic idea to put adorable bunny ears in your hair.
bunny ears
Fluffy bunnies and the kawaii scene tend to go hand in hand. If you're keen on looking kawaii, then you should search for all of the cutest hair clips on the market.

There are other essential kawaii accessories that don't involve the hair at all. If you're keen on being kawaii, then you should put a lot of energy into your fingernails.
There are so many kawaii manicure options on hand these days. You can get a manicure that features the cutest animals possible. Bunny or kitty theme manicures can go a long way. It can also be wise to make your nails appear as glittery and shiny as possible. Subtle nails are in no way par for the course in the kawaii realm.

5. Shoes​

Footwear is and has always been a major consideration for people who want to epitomize the kawaii scene. If you're serious about looking kawaii, you may want to explore all of your choices in platform shoes.

Thick platforms can give your height a significant boost. They can also contribute to an undeniable kawaii vibe that's impossible for anyone to ignore. If you're not able to walk easily in platform shoes, you don't have to panic.
That's because some of the most kawaii gals around are just as passionate about Mary Janes. Classic Mary Janes can be reminiscent of schoolgirl vibes that are so common in the kawaii realm.

Don't forget for a second about footwear colors, either. Remember, the more vivid your shoe colors are, the better. Shoes that remind you of the rainbow may look amazing alongside kawaii outfits of all kinds.
Shoes that feature baby pink, pale blue, lavender and beyond can look just as incredible. Just make sure that you can walk properly in your footwear choices. If you constantly trip and fall, then your kawaii look just won't cut it in the end.

6. Bags​

If you want to be kawaii, you're going to also want to pick the right bag to carry with you.

Not all cute girls carry purses, but adorable little backpacks in the shapes of characters like Hello Kitty and Pikachu are always favored.
Purses shaped like colorful desserts like cupcakes, ice cream cones and cookies are also good choices. Remember, the cuter the item the more Kawaii you'll look.
You can also choose adorable Kawaii hair accessories, such as colorful hair clips or bows. Headbands with adorable animal and food prints also accentuate the overall look.

7. Hairstyles​

You should also do your hair in a style that is familiar to Kawaii Japanese culture. Lots of ringlets are one timeless look in this style of fashion.
Pastel-colored hair that resembles Anime and manga characters is also incredibly popular. A wide variety of Kawaii wigs exist, which makes it easier to change your hairstyles to go with every cute outfit you wish to wear.

Remember, too, that looking kawaii is all about exuding a youthful vibe. You can attain a youthful vibe by putting bows in your locks.
Wearing your hair in braids or pigtails can do the trick, too. Think back to your elementary school days and all of your favorite hairdos at that time.

8. Makeup​

If you're trying to look kawaii, and you've already chosen your clothing and accessories, you're going to want to do your makeup properly as well.
One of the most important aspects of being Kawaii is to look as cute and innocent as possible, as if no effort is made to look so flawless. Large, exaggerated eyes, glass skin and natural tones are preferred for this look.
kawaii makeup

Although you want to keep your base cosmetics minimal, it can help to concentrate on your eyes. The kawaii look is all about intense eyes. It can help to get eyelash extensions that are sophisticated and striking. You can curl your eyelashes.
You can use high-quality mascara, too. You may want to look into mascara brands that are widely known in Japan.
Kawaii eyes tend to be circular. Dark mascara can help make your eyes appear markedly wider and "girlier." Apply a lot of dark mascara on your upper and lower eyelashes. Be generous in your use of mascara. Don't make the mistake of scrimping.

Light lipstick is the way to go for people who dream about being kawaii. Refrain from putting on dark and dramatic red lipsticks. It can help to concentrate on lipglosses that are transparent. If you prefer lips with color, light pink is the right option to consider, period.

9. LifeStyle​

Now that you've figured out your clothing, accessories and makeup, you're on your way to being truly Kawaii.
However, being a Kawaii girl is more than just a look or sense of fashion. Part of this culture also involves changing your mannerisms and the way you use your voice so as to push the idea that you are youthful, energetic and cute.
Kawaii gals tend to be happy-go-lucky. They don't let the little things make them sweat. They grin a lot. They even do a lot of laughing.
If you're serious about being and feeling kawaii, then you need to adopt a carefree attitude. Kawaii gals don't waste time worrying about the little things. They take to take full advantage of their circumstances.
Practice being more "girly" in the mirror when you're in full costume, so you can get into your own Kawaii character. With time, it will all come with ease and you will truly be Kawaii!

To Wrap Up​

Any and all human beings can be kawaii, zero exceptions. You can be kawaii regardless of how "old" or how "young" you may be.
There are no age limitations in the kawaii world. You can be kawaii regardless of your gender identity. You can be kawaii regardless of race or ethnicity as well.
Kawaii is a concept that embraces all human beings equally. That's part of the reason it's such a welcoming and irresistible path for so many individuals everywhere.
There are no real rules in the kawaii scene. Kawaii options abound. Being kawaii is all about being liberated.
Being a kawaii girl is something that you can control.

‘Kawaii’: An Adorable Ice-Cream Collecting Card Game

Entertainment Games
April 23, 2020Sophie Brown

Kawaii is an adorable miniature card game from the makers of Bandido where you try to collect as many ice cream cards of your favorite shape and/or flavor as possible.
Please note: This post contains affiliate links.

Kawaii Components

  • 50 Ice Cream cards
  • 3 Closed Shop Cards
  • 2 Cherry Cards
  • 5 Favorite Flavor Cards
  • 5 Favorite Shape Cards
  • 10 Heart-Shaped Wooden Capture Tokens
Like Bandido, Kawaii comes in a tiny box measuring just 6.5cm by 11cm. The artwork is just as cute as you would expect from a game called Kawaii (kawaii is the Japanese word for cute or loveable if you were unaware) and the little red heart tokens just add to the overall adorable factor.

I was also pleased to note that there are no plastic components whatsoever. This, in addition to the small size, make Kawaii a highly environmentally friendly game.

How to Play Kawaii

Setup

Hand each player two Capture Tokens and place any extras into the box. Shuffle the five Favorite Flavor cards and give one, face-down, to each player. Do the same for the five Favorite Shape cards and discard any extras face-down into the box – they will not be needed during this game. Each player should look at and memorize their Favorite Flavor and Favorite Shape card.

Shuffle the ice cream cards and deal out the entire deck face-down evenly among the players. Depending on how many players you have, some players may have one more card than others but this will not impact the game. The players keep this face-down stack of cards in front of them and do not look at them.

Gameplay

The last player who ate an ice cream begins. This player takes the top card from their stack and places it face-up in front of them. The player to their left then does the same and so-on around the table with each player revealing their top card. When play returns to the first player, they take the second card from their stack and place it beside their first revealed card so that both can be seen. Play continues like this with all players gradually building a collection of revealed cards until a player sees a collection of cards they want to capture.

When a player decides to capture a set of cards (including their own) they take one of their Capture Tokens and place it on top of the set, saying “Kawaii” as they do. The game stops and these cards are collected by the player who placed the token and put into a Score Pile where they are safe until the end of the game. The player whose cards were just collected keeps the capture token unless the player captured their own cards in which case the token is discarded.
Players can capture as many card stacks as they have Capture Tokens, can capture more than one stack at a time (although players can only ever use one hand to place Capture Tokens), and can capture stacks while the game is stopped. Should two-players say Kawaii and place their Capture Tokens on the same stack, the fastest to place their token wins and in the case of a tie – the winner is determined by a round of rock, paper, scissors.
Play continues like this until either all the cards in the players’ reserves have been played and no one wants to capture any more piles, or no players have any capture tokens remaining.

End of Round Scoring

Each player now adds up their score from the cards they captured earning points as follows:

  • 1 Point for each ice cream of your favorite flavor
  • 1 Point for each ice cream of your favorite shape
  • 2 Points for each ice cream of your favorite shape AND flavor
  • 1 Point for each Cherry
  • Minus one point for each Closed Shop card UNLESS you have all three in which case three points are earned
  • 1 Point for each remaining Capture Token
Players note their scores down and the player with the least points begins the next round.

Final Scoring

Kawaii takes place over three rounds. The player with the highest score after the three rounds is declared the winner.

Kawaii: Verdict

While we didn’t enjoy Kawaii quite as much as Bandido, this is still a fun little filler game. The bright colors, cute artwork, and kid-friendly theme will make Kawaii ideal for family games nights and get-togethers while the small box size makes it easy to store and the small cards are well-sized for little hands.

Whenever color is a factor in a game I always consider color-blindness and I was pleased to note that in Kawaii, each different background color also has its own unique pattern, meaning that color-blind gamers will still be able to join in. The small cards might be a problem in some games but because there is almost no text (and the small amount present is both unimportant to the game and printed in a large font), it’s not a problem here.
Kawaii is an enjoyable little game perfect for summer days – the small size makes it great for travel too – although the theme will almost certainly have you craving a frozen treat before the end of the first round!

    VERY CUTE​

    Very cute sticker, looks exactly like what i ordered. The only thing i don't really like is that the stickers seem to have been cut out a bit too much, and are coming apart from the paper (the sticky part of the stickers are still attached to the paper, but the areas that were cut are disconnecting). Other than that, they are very nice stickers.

    CUTEST PIN SETS EVER!!​

    These were not only a great idea but they’re executed so well! The clothes fit both, as advertised, mixing and matching is the best part. The pin posts on the clothes are extra long so they fit perfect over the main pin. I really hope more come out!!

    ADORABLE BANNER​

    Adorable Banner. I love that it is two-sided as it gives me the opportunity to create more displays with one purchase. Unfortunately a string that hangs from the bottom has a burnt section (as pictured). I can simply cut it off, but I thought it was crucial to mention. My tassles also came slightly attached together and I had to separate a couple dozen by hand. When I push pins through and the material runs, I can still massage the material so that the run is not visible which is better than some bag inserts I own. Thanks for the banner!

    This pin is very high-quality and HUGE! I'm O- blood type, so I like to donate blood as often as I can. I know it's weird, but I'm proud of being a "universal donor" so I just had to get this pin. It's a cute, nerdy & unique addition to my ita bag / pin bag.

    PERFECT FOR CHRISTMAS!​

    I bought this at Youmacon in anticipation for Christmas. I've spent the last two months *intensely* jealous and a little sad I didn't buy two. I can't wait for my little sister to unwrap this, because I just know shes going to love it and that it's going to keep her warm. Honestly, it's too cute, just like her! Thank you, Kittynaut!

    THIS MAKES ME EMOTIONAL IN THE BEST WAY.​

    This pin has been a want for me since release but I just hadn't been able to until recently. Everything in this pin is meaningful to me, so I'm probably going to be speaking from a place of emotional bias, but I think this truly might be my favorite pin in my collection. The quality and details are great and I'm so happy I finally have this. (I kinda want a few more 😂!)

    THE DETAILS LOOK EVEN NICER IN PERSON.​

    I was a little nervous to get this pin in I'm not gonna lie, it has a lot of details that I was a little unsure of how it would look in hand- I was worried for nothing! It's so lovely and well done, it looks even better than it does in photos. I'm a bit sad I missed out on the mini-buns but the cuteness of the main kotatsu bun is out of this world!

    SO PRECIOUS! VERY PLEASED​

    The pin is such a nice size and it feels big for being an adorable lil bunny, but it looks incredible from afar and up close. The white really pops nicely against the other colors in person. The quality was superb even though it was a seconds, it was a very pleasant surprise.

    GOLDEN!​

    I got this as part of the Black Friday days in gold plate, it's absolutely precious! This is definitely a great lapel pin, it feels like it would be a very tight collar pin considering the length of the chain, but it would work for close placement. It's really nice, but for me personally I'd probably wear it more as a regular pin, it also in my opinion kind of works best that way.
