If you enjoyed our Future Kawaii posts in the past then you’ll be pleased to hear they have a brand new home. It kind of went against the SCK policy of showing you cute things you can buy right now since a lot of them will never make it out of Japan. Instead I’ll be [...]

It’s time for another peek into our kawaii crystal ball – this time I have cute musical accessories! For instance, how about a cute Gloomy Bear keyring speaker? Not sure you can trust him not to claw your mp3 player to death though. Or you could ask Doraemon the robot cat to sit on your [...]

Whe I finally make it back to Japan this year, you can bet your boots I’ll be stocking up on things featuring everyone’s favourite kawaii bean dog Mameshiba! Let’s see what crazy new products are on their way. Let’s start off with the relatively sane – Mameshiba key caps! Just think, you could have a [...]

One the funniest new characters we discovered on our last trip to Japan was Kapibarasan, a kawaii Capybara. He wasn’t available on much then but these days he’s all over everything. Let’s take a look at what crazy stuff is coming to shops soon. I never had any need for a tissue box cover until [...]

Rilakkuma and friends are still some of our favourite kawaii characters so here’s a peek at some of the new products coming your way very soon. Rilakkuma cupcakes anyone? The detail on these is amazing – I love the sprinkles on the ears and the cherry on top! There are also matching tiny Rilakkuma cakes [...]

It’s another look into our kawaii crystal ball, except I’ve actually been hoarding these Winter themed products for ages and they should be in shops right now. Check your favourite kawaii stores! Nothing better than a cosy blanket when it gets chilly, and even better if it sports Mameshiba in the snow wearing a hat [...]

Can we post about Halloween now? Can we? Can we? YAY! These, um, delightful cats are called Hangry and Angry but they look a bit more like Dead and Scary. The best part is, you can unzip their stomachs and keep stuff inside them! Why don’t we feature Gloomy Bear more often? I mean, who [...]

Rilakkuma has to be one of my very favourite kawaii characters – I love how generally unimpressed he looks at all the ridiculous costumes and situations the San-X designers put him into. This is the new Bath House range, and I dare you not to actually laugh out loud at the face mask plastered Rilakkuma. [...]

Once again, we take a look into the future at the kawaii products you’ll be buying next year. This week’s examples worry me slightly, in that the range is called Hello Kitty’s Kitchen, implying that this is what Hello Kitty herself uses while she tosses eggs and eats giant apples. If so, isn’t boiling milk [...]

Your last kawaii peek of the week but we’ll be bringing you plenty more over the coming months. Since it’s the weekend, here’s something to think about. The question being, WHAT IS GOING ON? You put it in your teapot?! For why? Does it keep your teapot from being invaded by evil spirits? Or just [...]
