    The age of Ahoges?

    Recently "Ahoge"'s have been popping up in Japanese fashion snaps. 

    What is an Ahoge?
    They are an visual trait usually seen in manga and anime where a small strand of the hair is separated.
    The aim is to bring 2D Moe into the real world.

    What is moe?
    Moe is an Japanese slang word which is often used to refer to anime characters. Moe refers to feelings of affection towards something cute.

    Colomoooo, from the Candye Syrup store in Shimokitazawa  is the chairman of the Ahoge Kyoukai. Click here to go to her twitter.

    Ahoge kyoukai
    The Ahoge association (Kyoukai) is a small club for people who style their hair with an ahoge.It doesn't matter your gender or nationality and you just send an  image of you with an ahoge and send it to the link above.

    Ita Bags - The Next Big Otaku Trend?

    Nisan 22, 2015 0
    Ita Bags - The Next Big Otaku Trend?





    Online, more and more pictures of bags heavily decorated in anime badges have recently increased. 

    The nickname for this new trend is "Ita bag" or "Painful bag" (Since the bags get heavier decorated in badges)

    The bags themselves are usually tote or school bags.Each bag tends to focus on one anime character that the owner loves however more then one character can also be seen. The bags are used to express their love for an anime character or series. Since the idea is to cover the bag, it can be an expensive hobby.



    While in Japan you could easily get one badge for 200 yen (About £1.20) however online or at conventions the price of one bage can be higher. Also the plushies or keyrings used don't always come cheap. 

    Helpful links: 

    If you want to join in on this new trend here are some helpful links to places selling badges that are not too pricey to make your own bag!
    • Aliexpress has a wide range of badges ranging from Attack on Titan, Naruto  to Black Butler and more. 
    • eBay also has a wide collection of badges however they might not  be as cheap as ones on Aliexpress however there is a lot of options to choose from. 
    • Etsy and Storenvy both features a lot of different designs


    So what do you think? Do you think this might be the next big trend. Have you decorated your bag like this?

    Kawaii Surprises Japan - Review

    Şubat 14, 2015 0
    Kawaii Surprises Japan - Review


    Today's post is a review of the Storenvy shop, kawaii-surprises-japan which sells Japanese candy and snacks, squishes, stationary and other Kawaii things. Click here to go to their twitter.

    I brought the Pretty cure card and gum packet that has two cards inside (I somehow decided to start collecting cards) and a Sanrio lucky pack which you could choose your character (Hello Kitty, My Melody or Little Twin stars)


    Stock photo's.


    The lucky pack information says that there would be inbetween 5 and 7 items inside. 

    My photo's


    When I opened my parcel I found this inside.

    Inside were a couple of free gifts. The little note is so cute with the Sakura petals and the little mount fiji. It added a cuter touch to it!


    On the back was also printed with Sakura and taped down with Deco tape. 

    The free gifts:


     Candy!  It has a strange colour though although it tastes good.


     Inside was a chocolate shaped like the picture on the wrapper.



    Here is a picture of the chocolate inside.

    The items I brought:


    Besides the free gifts were the items I brought which were all wrapped separately with a rose patterned deco tape.


    Once you take out the wrapper this is what you see. There were no damages which is good.


     The front of the cards packet showing some of the characters from the anime


     The back of the wrapper.


    Inside were two cards. One was of Cure Honey 



    The card has been printed with really good quality

    The second card is of Aino Megumi (Cure Lovely) who is the energetic main character from Happiness Charge.


    Just like the Cure Honey card, Aino Megumi's card is also printed clearly with no mistakes.


     The back of the cards are really pretty

    The next part of the review is of the surprise pack. The character I picked was My Melody.


     The surprise pack came in a pink and white sealed party bag styled packaging.

    Let's look inside!


     Inside I got a packet of Kuromi tissues, A piano paper clip, My melody candy, Stickers, a pencil and a notebook. A total of six objects.


     This was one of my favorite items from the surprise pack. The paperclip of Piano is sparkly which is really cute!

    A packet of stickers. Good quality and cute.


    A packet of Kuromi tissues. To be honest I do not see the point in these since its too cute to use.


    A Japanese candy with Piano and My Melody printed on the wrapper. The candy is pink and tastes slightly like strawberries.


    A My Melody notepad. The size is sensible enough to fit in your bag.


    A punk My Melody styled pencil.


    Here's a closeup of the My Melody print.

    Click here to buy the lucky pack!

    Overall scores:

    Shipping/Price:
     The lucky pack was $5.99. I could not find the link to the card pack on the store however the price was under $2. It took about four weeks to arrive and seeming it was Christmas time it was pretty good. 

    Quality: 
    The quality of all the goods are in excellent condition. There were no marks on the packaging or damages. 

    Final verdict:
    For what I got I don't think it was worth it for the price I spent all together to be honest. It's likely that you will get different contents to the lucky bag then me.

    Warm And Kawaii - Tips For Winter

    Warm And Kawaii - Tips For Winter

    Liz Lisa winter outfit


    It's getting colder however there are still some ways to live like a Princess and keep warm when at home.
    Hope you enjoy this post!

     Kotatsu's
    Kotatsu's are a low, wooden table used in Japan and are often seen in Anime. They are used to warm you up in the winter and are used for relaxing. While Kotatsu's can look boring, you can also buy Kawaii ones like the one above. You can buy Kotatsu covers from a variety of places for example, here. You can also find them on eBay (However the covers do cost a lot!)


    Kigurumi's
    While some people don't like the idea of Kigurumi's, they do help keep you warm. As well as keeping you warm and cute, they are also comfy.  Storenvy and eBay are good places to look for them! However they can be a little awkward when you need to pee!


    Kawaii slippers
    Keep your feet cute and warm with Kawaii character slippers. All sorts of animals can be bought as slippers. You can even get character slippers from series such as Studio Ghibli, Sailor Moon and more. Click here to see the Alpaca slippers above. 



    Gyaru room wear 
    Gyaru brands such as Dream V have made room wear perfect for Princesses. The designs are both cute, conformable for lazy days and are for a good price.

    That's it for today's post. What do you do to sat warm AND kawaii in the winter time?
