Kiddyland looks amazing but it's made me realize I know very few Japanese characters. I'd love to see you do a video on the Fuji Q Highland amusement park as well! Thanks for making such cute/informative videos. I always appreciate them.

@cakeswithfaces 5 жыл бұрын

I think often characters become popular in Japan, then later on we get to know them overseas if they're really popular (Japan is a bit ahead!). It's the same with fashion. I've actually not been to Fuji Q Highland, but if I do go I'll certainly make a video! :-)

I see Miffy (@8:41) is now also a thing in Japan after things kinda settled down. You gotta know that there has been a big war between Dutch original 'Miffy' and her Japanese counterpart 'Hello Kitty'. For decades Sanrio denied they based Hello Kitty off Miffy (original Dutch name: Nijntje...being short for 'konijntje' meaning small rabbit), but truth is they came up with Hello Kitty in the year Miffy made her appearance in Japan in 1964, while she was created in the Netherlands in 1953. Sanrio wanted to give her a more British feel, so they changed her into a cat and called her Kitty. To make a long story short:after decades of battling the creator sued Sanrio, the court ruled the creator in his favor in 2011....a monetary settlement was made, which was donated in it's entirety to a fund for Japanese tsunami victims. Don't think this battle is over for now, because the family members of the creator Dick Bruna (who passed away in 2017) are still fighting over the violation of creative rights and intellectual property with Sanrio. Just to give you a background story on The world famous 'Hello Kitty' Thank you ever so much for this very entertaining video.

@cakeswithfaces 5 жыл бұрын

Interesting.... thanks for sharing, I didn't know about that! They do look remarkably similar. I used to have the Miffy books when I was little. Hello Kitty's such a huge brand, that's a massive battle to take on! I've seen Miffy stores elsewhere in Japan too so she is clinging on!

( Can't believe it's still there actually!) Thanks Amy, looking forward to more . :)

Yes I think they have it at Kiddyland! I've seen a Sailor Moon shop in Laforet department store in Harajuku (basement level). Also check Yamashiroya, a toy store in Ueno (they have lots of character goods). As Sailor Moon's so popular you'd probably spot other things as you go around eg in make-up shops, etc. Happy hunting! :-)
