Blog of the Week!

Ever since anime was introduced, it has steadily grown momentum and is now one of the biggest influences of pop culture. It appeals to people of all ages (much like Hello Kitty!) Here in SanrioTown, we've got a lot of anime fans on board, and our featured blogger is a part of that mini-community!

sugar_berii is an anime-and-manga fan, and it shows in her posts! Her posts show this interest. Her entries are actually more on the cutesy type, something that young people would surely love.

SanrioTown Dream Studio Video of the Week!

It's only five days until Christmas! Are you getting excited? We are!

During Christmas, we may ask for certain things that we would want to receive as our gifts. These usually come in the form of items: toys, gadgets, books, etc. Hajnee, however, has a different request and she expressed it in a very unique fashion: though a Dream Studio video!

"All I Want for Christmas" was made by the video creator as though she was writing to Santa Claus. While she says she doesn't want that much, at least nothing that could be gift-wrapped, she has one request, and she hopes that this will be granted come Christmas day.

You can find out what her wish is by going to http://video.sanriotown.com/video/76d9be35542c283b. It's a very cute slideshow that most of us can probably relate to, whether we admit to it or not.:D

Sanriotown Blog of the Week!

We've got another New Yorker as our featured blogger! Blog-Elie is not just a blog about the Big Apple, although we do get to read tales about it (ever heard about Oleg, the human computer/cab driver?). She also has stories to tell about her baking adventures, shopping finds, and of course, Hello Kitty sights and goodies!

The owner is a web designer whose "interests include archeology and dental floss". While she admits that her blog does not have a general theme and that her posts would be all over the place, we think this is what makes it interesting. After all, it's fun when you can't always predict what you'll see next, right?

SanrioTown Dream Studio Video of the Week!

Special occasions should be celebrated, and this week's featured video is putting one special event on the spotlight.


Happy Graduation shows fun pictures of the graduation of a class, complete with the cap-tossing and jumping. It's really a fun video. For those who have already experienced the thrill of graduation, it makes you reminisce the bittersweet memories of that special day when you said goodbye to your alma mater. For those who haven't, it's something that you can expect: an event that's both fun because of the friends that you have, but also sad because you'll be bidding them and your school farewell.

When you hear "Muffled Noise", what's the first thing that pops in your head?

a. Mess and chaos

b. Music

c. Confusion

d. This week's featured blog on SanrioTown?

If you answered B or D, you've got it right. Music buffs will surely love this week's featured blog on the Blog All-Stars. "Muffled Noise" is all about the beat, the sound, and the vibe. The blog owner does not discriminate nor stick to a specific kind of music: no matter what genre, performer, or band, you'll surely find at least a tidbit of it on this journal. One day you might find her blogging about R&B, the next, boy bands (admit it: you've listened to one of their products and enjoyed it at least once in your life). It's not just bare facts that she talks about on her journal though: she makes commentries on her features, so it adds to the pull of the blog to know what she thinks about the issues she brings up.

SanrioTown Dream Studio Video of the Week!

What do you get when you cross two different, brightly-colored socks, a cow, and a camera? Watch this week's featured Dream Studio Video of the Week and find out!


Entitled "Argyle and Stitches (Ep. 01)", this week's featured video is an almost sure-fire away of making its viewers laugh, not only because of its actual, unique content, but also because of the promise it holds. What's to watch out for? The video features sock puppets named Argyle and Stitches who are bent on world domination. If that's not funny enough, throw in a magical flying cow in the mix and you're sure to end up with mayhem! The video seems to be a silent movie and a comic combined, with the characters' (and the narrator's!) dialogue set in text instead of audio. Fun "silent movie" music accompanies the visuals, making it a very exciting and happy video to watch.

Since the title implies that there are more episodes to come, we can watch out for even more stories of the two socks' adventures. Will they end up ruling the galaxy as they planned?

Blog of the Week!

Hello Kitty's appeal is such that people from all over, no matter who they are or where they're coming from, will feel her pull. Today's featured blogger is a proof of this.

Her moniker Okasaneko (which is also her blog name), derived from the Japanese words "okasan" (for mother) and "neko" (for cat), says a lot about her. Not only is she a Hello Kitty fan (as evidenced by her Kitty-centric entries!), but she's also a wife and mother of two boys. This, however, isn't what makes her stand out, since there are also moms on the site. What makes her blog special is because she uses it as her medium to pursue her advocacy for autism. This is especially personal for her, since one of her sons has autism. A lot of her entries are focused on her stories about her family and their challenges when it comes to this. She is an inspiration not only because of this, but also because of her attitude in handling the situation: being grateful of what she has in life, and continuing to push forward in faith.

SanrioTown Blog of the Week!

This week's featured journal is another (proudly) pink blog. Daisychan's House ~Sanrio Way~ is our featured blogger of this week, and she's got a lot of stuff in her entries to go with the pretty color and banner she adds in every entry.


A little info about the writer: she is a self-confessed "otaku", who hails from Brazil. She is a huge fan of anime, manga, video games, and computer stuff, and her posts usually revolve around these topics. Her blog's main selling point would probably be AMVs that she has made herself, featuring scenes and characters from her favorite anime. Aside from this, she also features online games and snippets on her personal life, even lyrics of songs she listens to.

All About: KeroKeroKeroppi

KeroKeroKeroppi

Year Created: 1987

Real Name: Hasu No Ue Keroppi (Keroppi on the Lily Pad)

Birthday: July 10

Keroppi is the most popular frog of Donut Pond, the largest and bluest pond. He's fun-loving very adventurous, being fearless and very active. His talents are singing and swimming. Nothing discourages for long - this guy's an optimist and brings sunshine to the lives of his family and friends. He is part of the mischievous Ganta-Kyorosuke-Keroppi trio. Keroppi and his friends share his love for playing games, especially baseball and boomerangs.

He lives with his family in KeroKero house, found next to the Donut Pond. He is part of a triplet, her siblings being Pikki and Koroppi. They are masters of illusion: they can jump up and down so fast, they look like ten frogs instead of three!


Donut Pond


Keroppi's Family and Friends

Keroppi's Family

Keroppi's Family

Pikki: Pikki is Keroppi's sister, the only girl of the Hasu No Ue triplet. If Keroppi's the most popular frog in Donut Pond, she's definitely the head-turner, being really cute. Her hobbies and tree-climbing (she and Keroleen can make a mean batch of pancakes!) Since she's the favorite babysitter of the residents of Donut Pond, she knows all the kids there (being really great with names is a lot of help!)

Koroppi: While he and Keroppi are often mistaken for each other (they look almost exactly alike), Koroppi is actually the quieter one. He is a steady and hardworking worker, preferring to tinker with machines in his spare time. He has the best voice in the family, and his being a great singer earned him a spot in the KeroKero Choir.

Keroppa: Keroppa is the triplets' dad. He is the resident doctor of the Hasu No Ue Hospital, and he is able to help heal just about anyone who needs his help.

Keroma: Keroma, the triplets' mom, is a master chef! She runs her own small restaurant, but she always has time to make rice balls, Keroppi's favorite food (it gives him energy)!

Kerobah: She is the triplets' grandma. She loves to shop for hats.

Kerojee: She is the triplets' grandpa, and he loves telling funny stories.

Keroke: These brothers are the triplets' cousins, and they love watching Keroppi and his friends play baseball.

Keroppi's Friends

Keroppi's Friends

Keroleen: Keroleen has a kind and gentle heart, always there to offer a kind word or wipe away tears after an argument (she's a natural peacemaker). She is Donut Pond's resident fashionista, almost never seen wearing the same outfit twice (but she has her polka-dot dress as her favorite). She's a budding chef in training, being Keroppi's mom's protege. Her specialty is pancakes (which she sometimes makes with Pikki). Her birthday is on January 21.

Kyorosuke: Kyorosuke is wildly curious, always out looking for new things. Because he has superior eyesight (he can see things over half a mile away), he is often the first to pick up new information. He's a bit of a prankster, enjoying surprising people by suddenly leaping out of the water (since he is an expert in underwater swimming) - Keroppe is usually the one who ends up passing out because of this. He is part of the Ganta-Kyorosuke-Keroppi. His birthday is on April 22.

Ganta: He is the leader of the Keroppi - Kyorosuke - Ganta trio. He is the strongest frog in Donut Pond (at least, he likes to thinks so), but he is actually afraid of the dark. His special talent is to turn himself into a rock. His birthday is on October 10.

Noberu: Noberu is the thinker and the trustworthy one in this group of friends. He wants to follow the footsteps of his father and become a weather forecaster for the government weather bureau (he can predict hurricanes with amazing accuracy). While he is not much of an athlete, he more than makes up for it by conducting experiments and inventing stuff. When he and his friends go out for a swim, he uses his homemade camera to take pictures of them.

Keroppe: Keroppe is the new guy of Donut Pond, having just moved there from Hyoutan (gourd) pond, which is on the other side of the mountain. He zones out regularly, making him the target of a lot of practical jokes. When he is not sitting under any available leaf and vegetating for three days (which he is infamous for), he loves making toy boats and masks out of wildflowers. His birthday is on June 22.

Denden: Denden is Keroppi's constant companion despite their energy and activity levels. He is laid-back with a penchant for daydreaming. He loves playing in the rain. He spends a lot of time trying to catch up with Keroppi. His birthday is on April 22.

Teruteru: This little girl rain charm has the amazing ability of predicting the weather accurately. She loves collecting ribbons as a hobby. Her birthday is on May 18.

Hello Kitty To Make Her Debut in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

sanrio logo macy's thanksgiving day parade

SANRIO and Macy’s are pleased to announce that signature brand Hello Kitty will participate in the 81st Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. On November 22nd at 9:00am, the world famous pop icon will make her debut as a giant helium balloon soaring down Broadway in the unique entertainment extravaganza that serves as the official start of the holiday season.

“The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is such a great holiday tradition. We are so excited that Hello Kitty will be part of it,” says Andrea Sobel VP of Marketing for Sanrio Inc. “We can’t wait to see her flying over New York City!”

The Hello Kitty balloon, designed by the magicians of the Macy’s Parade Studio, will be in the “Hello Kitty Super Cute” design — a contemporary combination of superhero & Japan-esque graphics, in primary pop art colors. Complete with cape & tiara, “Hello Kitty Super Cute” will join the legendary line-up of giant helium character balloons, amazing floats, America’s best marching bands, performance groups, clowns, celebrity performers and the one and only Santa Claus. The Macy?s Parade marks the start of the Holiday season and is seen live by over 3.5 million spectators, and over 50 million television viewers nationwide. To mark this momentous occasion, SANRIO will produce a limited edition commemorative “Hello Kitty Super Cute” plush, that will be available to collector’s at select SANRIO stores and at the newly re-vamped www.sanrio.com.

“Hello Kitty is an international superstar, and this balloon has been on my personal wish list for as long as I’ve run the Parade,” says Robin Hall, executive producer of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. “I can tell you that everyone at Macy’s is as excited as I am to welcome Sanrio to the Macy’s Parade family.”

Before her big debut on Thanksgiving Day, the new Hello Kitty balloon will be officially unveiled, inflated and test flown at Macy’s Balloonfest on Saturday, November 3rd. All new balloons in the Parade line-up earn their flying credentials at this final test before their first flight down Broadway. Keep an eye on www.sanrio.com for additional events & www.macysparade.com for updated Parade information.

Manila Fashion Observer is our featured blogger this week, and her blog is a mixture of paradoxes.

First of all, she's not based in Manila. Secondly, her blog's not all about fashion, but also has food, make-up, sights, toys, Hello Kitty, and have we mentioned food already?:D It's really a cool mishmash of stories and ideas about New York (where she's writing from). If you want to visit the Big Apple without leaving your nice comfortable place, visit this blog because Manila Fashion Observer can be your virtual tour guide of the place, being your eyes, ears, and tastebuds of what the city has to offer.

What's New on SanrioTown

SanrioTown.com has a lot of surprises for its members this November! Cute wallpapers and calendars featuring your favorite Sanrio characters have already uploaded for your downloading enjoyment.

November Downloads

A new game has also been brought in the line-up! Called "SanrioTown Kart Madness", this will certainly be well-loved by people who love action.

Kart Madness

A player can choose to play as Hello Kitty, Dear Daniel, Bad Badtz Maru, or KeroKeroKeroppi (with their own specialized, custom-made vehicles!) Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses, so a person has to choose very carefully which one he wants to play as. S/he can unlock the second and third courses for each character by finishing the heat.

Kart Madness

S/he can win by finishing all three tracks for each character. Losing in just one race for one character would end the game, so better do it fast and well to earn a good score and possibly a place in the Top Five ranking.

Enjoy these and more fun stuff by going to SanrioTown.com!

Our chosen video this week not only is cute, but is also for a good cause.

Baby Seal Pics, made by mickey1928, shows exactly that: pups in different and various poses in their natural snowy surroundings all looking really adorable. The creator of the video, however, asks people to help preserve these, maybe because they're being hunted for commercial purposes.

SanrioTown Blog of the Week!

Who doesn't love random things to perk their day up? Virtual Rain definitely does, and we picked her blog because visiting her blog makes us chuckle just about every time.

Virtual Rain

"V i R t U a L r A i N" is a blog that its creator/owner proudly describes as "about everything and nothing... random, light, and fun," and it delivers just that. All its entries are humorous, and the topics varied: weird street signs, ads, and warning labels, strange items, and peculiar (if not downright disturbing) signs and pictures. It's a smorgasboard of all that is random, and it's really great fun to see and read.

Maybe that's the reason why the blog's icon is an umbrella: because it covers just about any topic that's under the sun... or rain.:P

They also have the traditional stockings usually hung over the fireplace or doors as decorations (or for Santa Claus to drop his present for you if you've been good the whole year :D).

SanrioTown Dream Studio Video of the Week!

Celebrating birthdays has got to be one of the most fun events in a person's life. It's that single day in each year where they get to feel even more special and good about themselves, surrounded by their family and friends. It's really great, knowing that you're also loved by the people you care about.

For the Sanrio fans out there, you probably know that one of your favorite characters celebrated her birthday just a few days ago. That's right: we're talking about Hello Kitty, and her sister too! November 1 marked the 33rd anniversary of her bringing happiness to the lives of people. A character she might be, but throughout the years, she's been considered as a close friend by a variety of individuals.

This week's video of the week shows Kitty and Mimmy being surrounded by their friends. Simply entitled "Kitty and Mimmy's Birthday Party," yoshisland made her video as the title said: favorite Sanrio characters like Chococat, Badtz-Maru, My Melody, and Pochacco got together to throw a party for the twin kittens, some even bearing gifts! The video's really fun to watch, because it created a sense of unity for the characters, by gathering them together to celebrate the birthday not only of one, but two of their own! It's really festive and fun, something that Hello Kitty and Sanrio fans would really love.

SanrioTown Blog of the Week!

During your visits to SanrioTown, have you ever wondered what it would be like if it became an honest-to-goodness, real village, where you and your favorite characters interacted and have fun the whole day? Lilybethflame has thought of the same idea, and because of this, we award her visual and written creativity by making her the newest addition of the Blog All-Stars!

Pink Bear, Blue Bear, Pink Cat, Purple Cat

Pink Bear, Blue Bear, Pink Cat, Purple Cat is quite unique because of a variety of reasons: not only is the writer situating herself in SanrioTown, but she also writes as Pink Bear, her very own, self-made character! She even included a back story for her, saying that she originally came from Daisyville, a village . She even included family and friends as part of the package, also self-created. What makes the blog even better is that she even includes images of Pink Bear and her family and friends hanging out, so you can really imagine what's happening and how the characters look like. She even interacts with the other blog members on SanrioTown, especially with the character blogs, making the concept of "SanrioTown" real, in a sense.

Hello Kitty Snowman Plush

"Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh..."

Since we're starting to hear this and similar songs wherever we go, it just means we're getting close to Christmas! It's a little more than a month before we reach the holiday season, and Sanrio's already feeling festive. Proof is that they released a plush Hello Kitty Snowman, white in the front and pink at the back. It also has a tiny Hello Kitty mascot in the back pocket you can remove to carry along in your bag or mobile phone. Now, people who live in tropical countries can still enjoy the wonders of snow in a cute and cuddly package.

This cute plush is currently priced at 3,675 Yen in Sanrio Japan. You may visit their site for more information.

SanrioTown Blog of the Week!

Boo! A lot of people at Sanrio Town have Halloween fever, and it spilled over on some of the blogs! From greetings to graphics to jokes, they're getting into it, and this week's featured online journal is no exception.

Hello Peanut *^^*, owned and maintained by od3sa, greets everyone a Happy Halloween with a homemade (?) "kitty o' lantern" to "guide those that are lost." We don't really know if that's going to be the case, but the carved pumpkin sure is cute!

Hello Peanut

She's got a variety of fun entries aside from her Halloween post. According to her, she's got "Project: Hello Kitty" going on, and she's now pretty busy "kittifying" not only her blog, but her life too, even defending the little white cat from her friends.
