Kiss x Hello Kitty

2011-11-26T20:54:00.001-08:00

Two titans of popular culture are colliding. That’d be Kiss and Hello Kitty. The Hello Kitty Kiss Style Guide has been released and it features the approved images that the licensees can use to make Hello Kitty-themed Kiss items.

Before you go hemming and hawing about the band’s penchant for merchandising and branding reaching “jump the shark” status and effectively becoming overkill, take a peek at the designs. You have to admit they are cute, cool and kitschy, and certainly applicable for the female in your life who happens to like Kiss. Kiss are certainly reaching a new market by partnering with Sanrio and Hello Kitty. With her mysterious stare, there is more to Hello Kitty than meets the eye. Now she’s becoming a total rock star.

Gene Simmons tweeted about the collaboration, posting: “Nov 22nd- Hello Kitty-KISS exploding worldwide. 90 Country roll out. Wow!!!”

So 90 lucky countries will be make effective use of the collision of Kiss and Kitty. Will there be coffee mugs? Figurines? Toasters? Notepads? Lollipops? Lip glosses? Sanrio and Hello Kitty focus on cute, girly items such as the ones we just mentioned, so ladies who are Kiss fans are likely to take advantage of the items produced due to this partnership.

The images of Hello Kitty as the Star Child and the Demon look utterly amazing. One might think that anything to do with Peter Criss‘ Catman would be the most popular of the item, since they are both felines.

Kissopolis also posted a photo of the usable images.

These items will scratch and claw their way into retail outlets in the latter half of 2012. Let’s hope the images inspire licensees to come up with some amazing products.

Personalities supporting the event include model Ai Tominaga, prop stylist and flower master Musubi Aoki, flower artist Makoto Azuma, food artist Ayako Suwa, art director Rikako Nagashima, and costume designer Kodue Hibino. In addition, members of the K-Pop group KARA and the J-Pop singer ICONIQ were expected to be at the 'House of Hello Kitty' opening party, lending their support as well.

From Thursday, June 30th to Monday, July 10, 'House of Hello Kitty' visitors can participate in an "art object rally" and enter a specially designed Hello Kitty room, as well as purchase 31 Swarovski crystal-adorned Kitty goods - all to benefit the Japanese Red Cross Tohoku earthquake relief.

Popular self-serve frozen yogurt chain Yogurtland announced that it will partner later this month with Sanrio, whose most popular brand is Hello Kitty.

The Anaheim-based frozen yogurt chain plans to feature special Hello Kitty spoons and cups in stores later this month to celebrate the partnership, said Larry Sidoti, the chain’s vice president of development and operations. Yogurtland will also feature Hello Kitty merchandise in some of its stores.

“There’s a lot of cultural compatibility between the two companies—especially in business practices,” Sidoti said.

Yogurtland, which operates 130 shops, will host a launch party to celebrate the partnership at its Beverly Connection store in Los Angeles on July 20. Stay tuned for more details.

Theme Park in China 2014

2011-05-11T21:08:00.000-07:00

Kawaii!! Hello Kitty theme park coming to China in 2014

Office ladies rejoice! Plans have been announced for a theme park that would bring Hello Kitty and her blank-faced cohorts to China. Purveyors of kawaii kitsch Sanrio Co., Ltd. have reached an agreement to license their characters to Zhejiang Yinrun Leisure Development for a theme park project in Zhejiang's Anji county, an hour and a half's drive northwest from Hangzhou.

CNNGo reports that, at 1.5 billion RMB, the investment for Sanrio's park will be much lesser than Disney's 24.5 billion RMB investment in their new park. Construction for the new park is slated to begin next July, with completion set for 2014.

Though there are conflicting statements about the projected size of the park, with 0.6 km² and 0.095 km² both being reported, the park will still be significantly smaller than the new Shanghai Disneyland (4 km²).

The park will be Sanrio's first international outing, following Tokyo's Sanrio Puroland, and the Hu Jintao-pleasing Harmony Land.

And so China's tourists will soon have not one but two infantilizing multinational corporations vying for their hard-earned disposable income.

We once heard that Hello Kitty's success was related precisely to her lack of a mouth or any discernible expression, making her a blank slate on which her audience could project whatever emotion they wished.

Still, that's probably a lesser criticism than Charles Bukowski's rebuke of Mickey Mouse, who Bukowski referred to as a 'three-fingered son-of-a-bitch with no soul, for Christ's sake.'
