Koochie Koo....
Some of them are so in love with Hello Kitty they'll pay $2,500 for a robot that sings - http://www.robots-dreams.com/2005/11/hello_kitty_rob.html flashes its lights, and waves its arms.
Must... resist... Wife... must... not... see... that!
46 results for Hello Kitty.
Am I missing something here?
Hmmmm...where do you plug the headphones in?
Did anyone read the Google translation of the Japanese? Great stuff...
4# The engadget crew is metrosexuall.
I love this one from the very beginning:
'Hello Kitty MP3 播 releasing machine, at the time of hardness watching arriving'
Maybe the hardness they get at the releasing of the machine is why they are so obssesed?
amiga_tone: you plug it in below left ear, you also use the same connector for USB syncing.
Miles Mendelson: it's Chinese, not Japanese.
Mac - really? The translator claims it is japanese....
yeah its chinese, i tried reading it not translating it and it turned out chinese. even the box has chinese all over it
that is so gay, way past Liberace gay, somewhere around MJackson gay.
Until I moved to Japan I didn't realize the extent of their obssession with all things cute (kawaii). It's amazing to see so many grown men with hello kitty dolls on their desks, or Sesame Street bags, or Disney scarves.
Ok new product idea: its called good bye kitty! :O)
Seriously, its not gay, its just not really for adult men. Its for girls, and cute women who are into that tokyo style which I personally find very attractive.
Good looking out guys- the site is in fact Chinese. For some reason my original Japanese to English translation accepted the Chinese characters and returned a result that wasn't much more garbled than the usual Google/Babelfish fare.
Anyway, thanks again for the notification (and for not calling me an idiot).

There's something about Hello Kitty that just scares me.
Hahaa its a Taiwanese website.. Google rocks my socks!! eg. "Now we have one more option for a gift for our girlfriends" becomes "Sending woman friend 禮 thing watching 來 and multi Ryo one 樣 selections 擇 Ryo? -" and "this is an mp3 player, in a hello kitty body" becomes "這 engaging in right MP3 播 releasing machine, Hello Kitty die body." ROCK ON GOOGLE.
Way to demoralize cats in general. I have a craving to now put my neighbors cat in the microwave. And yes, this puts you past the point of being a FOMO (fake-homo aka metrosexual)..."guess who has an Innie instead of an outie for a wee-wee?"
-M.
The translations is great. Almost like the chineese HDTV forum I use for torrents. Looks like pictogram -> character based language is hard to do
ok... since no one else has had the balls to ask this... where can I pick one of these up. As annoyingly "cute" as this is, it would give me some serious cool points with my little Hello Kitty lovin' lady if I could snag one of these as a stocking stuffer...
this would be an amazing gift for the girly girl in your life.
where can I get one?
no place has these, more than likely do not even exist.
