Harajuku Cat Street

2011-03-30T15:36:00.000-07:00

KC has been getting a few requests from readers about purchasing from Japan after the disastrous tsunami.

The shipping services (Japan EMS) were temporarily disabled due to the power failures and aftershocks that Tokyo and the rest of Japan were receiving.

It seems now however, that service has been resumed, although some delays may be expected.

After hearing alot of saddening news from Japan, here is something a little more uplifting.

Snoopy Town Japan is about to release a new line of Snoopy Products named "Harajuku Cat Street".

There are fun T-shirts and bags and some other nick-nacks to accessorize... all designed to lighten anyone's spirits!

Check them out and watch out for them as they go on sale on April 2, 2011.

Striking gold!!

2011-03-08T15:47:00.001-08:00

If you have ever been caught in a situation, like me, where you have to find someone with everything already... then you will be just as excited!!

KC has just located a site where they only specialize in Limited edition Premium Disney Character items!!!

When I saw "Premium" I thought the price tag would be marked to suit, but was surprised to find that it was more reasonable that I had imagined!

Although I was slightly dissapointed that their inventory was slightly limited.... well, I guess thats why they say "Limited editions" !

Pictured here is a Limited Bronze Mickey Statue, for example.

You don't come across these everyday.

Be that it might be heavy to ship, but again... it's a rare find!!

Finding it Rare!?

2011-02-22T16:24:00.000-08:00

So sometimes you stroll into an Antique shop and are lucky enough to find that rare Disney figurine or Sanrio treat... how does it feel??

Some would say it's as great a feeling as striking gold or winning lotto since vintage items are so very hard to come buy in good condition these days.

Alot of our readers are buyers online across the world searching and seeking that rarity!

Another country, or should I say, alternative to your search .... Yahoo Japan!!

Ebay is less popular and much less used by the japanese, rather you would find them posting some very unique items up on Yahoo auctions Japan.

Why not try your luck like I did!?

Note though that they are only in Japanese and generally do not ship outside of Japan.

If you would like help with purchasing items from these auctions, please drop us a line!!!

Here you'll find original licensed jewellery and watches and the occasional accessory or two.
Items are of very high quality and delightfully cute too!
Most items are not found in shops in Japan or even overseas, so you'll probably just see them here. Then also, you'll find alot of them are limited items, so its a "now you see it, later you won't" kind of situation.
Why not browse around and see if you can find that one-of-a-kind item!!

KC was devastated to learn that from the 31st March 2010, Dinos will no longer sell Peanuts & My Snoopy goods.

The ever-so-useful-bag!

2009-08-21T14:30:00.000-07:00

Just about 2 weeks ago, Japan's Shizuoka Prefecture had a scary wake to a strong earthquake.
Not the first earthquake to scare Japan, so as usual Japan and it's companies arm themselves by preparing for the worst.
Disney Japan is no exception and in answer to safety measures brought out the Natural Disasters Survival Backpack.

Packed in a small lightweight backpack is a radio and light, whistle, gloves, slippers, raincoat, heat sheet and towel. I might have missed out one or two items, but it is definitely packed in well prepared for almost any weather!

Insurance at a low 3990 yen and fit for any country! (except for the cell charger - Japan phones only)

Never too early

2009-08-10T21:57:00.000-07:00

Here's a present KC found for those very special occasions (or even those not so special!).

An online only special, offers two envelope charms (inc. 52cm chains) in 925 silver and Gold.

What's so special you say??

Well, besides the fact that this is a paired gift, the initials of the owners can also be engraved on the back including a date!
(eg. Trevor sends it to Janet, the engraving would be "T to J" and a date.)

With Mickey's stamp of approval (literally), this item is limited to one per customer and for a limited time only at 30,000yen for the pair.

2009-07-21T09:32:00.000-07:00

Sanrio had just brought out a new collection that was very original in design and japanese in concept. The classic and traditional styled wallets in Japan (which supposedly last for decades in use) were applied and combined to make the classic Japanese styled Hello Kitty Wallet and accessories.
The main characteristic of these is that the whole wallet is made of Deer Leather.
Almost within a day, all of the items sold out!!!
And those items don't come cheap... though lets hope they bring out some more for those who really want to own their own bit of Japan x Hello Kitty!

Here's a great idea for mother's day!!!
Saying it with flowers has always been the traditional way, but with a sweet Minnie to deliver those flowers, now thats what I call cute and sweet!
The pot (Minnie) is ceramic and 19cm high and the flowers are real.
The cost of it isn't that bad either, retailing 5000yen but there are only 5500 of them.
Whats more, its only in Japan.
Now, if only we can get it overseas while keeping the flowers fresh......

A Crash with a bang!

2009-03-12T06:32:00.000-07:00

Don't know whether I forgot to mention, or actually did a while ago, but here it is!
The new special site created by Sanrio and 0101 (Marui).
What you'll mostly find here is a collection of clothing and accessory items that are pretty much "styled up" with a touch of maturity for a feel.

A time for more McDonalds!!!

2009-02-24T22:43:00.000-08:00

When KC first saw this, the reaction was " oh-My-Goodness!"
And then it was just glee... how can this be true!?
Yep, it's true ---- McDonalds and Sanrio have brought out 36 different designs to go with each Happy Meal purchase!!
Each design is of the year that that design was released, which goes to say that this is an Anniversary celebration item - celebrating 36 years!!

Now, the only problem is how you would go about eating all those Happy meals...in Japan!!

Let us know if you have an idea ; p

But seriously, this is something that collectors may drool over or get excited about, and at 490yen each (with the meal purchase), these are surely going to sell like hotcakes. Very very hot cakes!

Sanrio Funberry

2009-01-27T18:29:00.000-08:00

KC has always been amazed at how expensive some of the Hello Kitty Jewellery can be, although gorgeous at the same time.

Though, browsing around, KC found Sanrio's Hello Kitty FUNBERRY range. Probably for the younger audience it might seem, but personally I don't feel it matters at all.

The middle necklace being 5000yen, it's all too affordable to say "no" to this range!
You'll also find SHINEBERRY, another jewellery range from the same site (http://www.sanrio.co.jp/goods/jewelberry/index.html). Check it out!

A New novelty!

2009-01-27T17:56:00.000-08:00

It's so good to finally find something new and nice to show our readers, and here is one!!
The latest from the Watch section of the Snoopy range.

Adorned with Crystals and a red wristband, you'll find Snoopy and Woodstock parading the hours away on your wrist! How cute is it!?

Although, yes, it is a bit of a shame that the stainless steel incased watch is only available in the red leather wristband, but with a little silver footprint (charm) stamp of approval, it's worth the catch at 29,300yen!

Getting ready for Valentines?

2009-01-12T15:32:00.000-08:00

With Valentines just around the corner, KC thought we'd introduce some ideas for the occasion.
Here we have some very cute tea cups/ coffee mugs that show the love!
Simple in design, but expressive with it's love heart shaped tops.

Pictures say more than words sometimes, so here
