Focus on: MSN Downloads

For those who love chatting it up with your friends via MSN/Windows Live, this week's featured download item is especially meant for you!

SanrioTown offers its members to download emoticons and skins that they can use to personalize their MSN Messenger accounts. They can share their love for their favorite Sanrio characters by making use of these. The best part of this is that the downloads are absolutely free, like the other items on Sanrio - which means that they can save their favorite stuff without being charged for it!

Right now, the downloadable emoticons are that of Keroppi and Kiki and Lala, otherwise known as the Little Twin Stars.

For skins, they can choose Ahiru No Pekkle, Charmmy Kitty, or Shinkansen.

Another plus: the emoticons can be used also as mood icons on your SanrioTown blog, so it's dual purpose.

All About: Chippy Mouse, Charmmy Kitty, and Chibimaru

We decided to give Chippy Mouse some company in his feature, so he'll be sharing the spotlight with Charmmy Kitty and Chibimaru! We hope you enjoy this mouse, cat, and dog feature!

CHIPPY MOUSE
Year Created: 1995

A dancer, this little mouse is a native of Holland. He definitely loves music and his favorite cheese biscuits. Very curious, he's very proud of his tail that he can change into any shape he wishes.










CHARMMY KITTY
Year Created: 2004


Charmmy Kitty is a present to Hello Kitty from her beloved Papa and Daniel. Because they don't know when her birthday actually is, they decided to celebrate it on the day she was given to Kitty, which is October 31.


Although well-mannered, quiet, and obedient, Charmmy Kitty can still sometimes put on airs. Because she loves sparkly stuff, Hello Kitty gave her the shiny bow on her left ear as a gift. Her trademark is the key around her neck, which opens Hello Kitty's jewelry box.

Sugar

Sugar, given the name because of his color, was given to Hello Kitty the same time as Charmmy to keep them company. He's a white jungalian hamster whose birthday is May 1.











CHIBIMARU

Year Created: 2003
Birthday: February 2


One of a set of triplets, Chibimaru was born in a white house next to where he lives right now: a small red house with a red roof. Although he can be a bit cowardly, he's still very curious and loves to play tricks. You can tell if he's happy because he rotates his tail and sings. He loves going inside his owner's bag to explore places. He also loves his dog plush and bone-shaped milk cookies. When he grows older, his ears will stand up. Recently, he was able to walk while holding his front legs up.
