Okay, we've been cruising the YouTube archives too long. But we just had to post these kawaii videos of some of our favorite childhood cartoons. All of these hail from the beloved 80's show Pinwheel. Remember some of these...

Get yer Cinnamon Roll here!

2008-01-09T18:13:00.000-05:00

In 2002, Sanrio hit a kawaii home run when it released its newest character Cinnamonroll (initially known as Baby Cinnamon). We instantly fell in lubb with Cinnamonroll's floofy ears and curly-bun tail. Especially after seeing this promo vid. It's been around awhile and even was turned into a real toy that performed the same dance and song. But seeing Cinnamonroll rock it out kawaii-style is still kyoot today.

Cinnamonroll even had his own movie! Check the trailer...

So durn cute...

Musical Cuteness

2007-03-08T23:50:00.000-05:00

Electroplankton is one of the cutest games and unique games I have seen in a long time. Interactive media artist Toshia Iwai created this Nintendo DS game in which players move a series of "plankton" creatures to create music. The music sounds futuristic and drip-droppy. We found it strangely calming.

The site features short video clips of the game. It also has wallpaper and screensavers you can download.

Plushie delight

"How ridiculously cute is this iBabe Plush Keyring from the fabulous Maz? You may remember Maz from her rave review on The Bag Lady, where we gushed about how much we love all the lovely plush badges and accessories on her Vox blog. I now refer to Maz as my Cute Dealer, as she was kind enough to send me a parcel of delight, filled with little bits of plush goodness. I nearly died from the cuteness, but was able to recover long enough so that I can now ~~sing~~ blog her praises."

We concur!

Can lunch be cute?

2007-03-08T22:47:00.000-05:00

What a silly question! Of course it can! Just ask Ngoc, owner of the Cooking Cute site. She demonstrates how to make and pack the most delectable bento boxes. Great recipes and resources for those of us whose tummies cannot take wheat or gluten. Now all we need is a Chococat bento box...

And speaking of cute food, the artistry this Japanese mother displays in creating bento boxes is amazing. I see why she has a blog recording her creations...wonderfully kawaii...

Also be sure to check out these too-kawaii to eat wiener bunnies! Even gives instructions on how to make them...(in Japanese) via zannah @ #!/usr/bin/girl

*Sniffles* Excuse us, as we are in the process of moving. We were once on another Blogger-dy Blog, but our previous template became a wee bit unstable now that Blogger is out of beta. So, we'll be lovingly moving old posts, one at a time, to our new home here. Please be patient with us during this process. Thank you! Kerchew!

Hello Kitty phone!

DreamKitty is selling the Okwap A236 HK phone. It is a PDA as well, offering a cute HK calendar with cute HK icons and cute HK animations... **hyperventilating** However, the $699 price ended our sugar buzz. Maybe we'll add it to our wishlist... and make a wish...

Welcome!

Moshi moshi, everyone! Welcome to Hello Kawaii, the blog devoted to all things cute, cute, cute! Check here often to find out about the best sugariest-sweet sites the web has to offer. Well, that's enough yip-yap -- let's get down to business!!

Where, oh, where did the this cutie Cinnomonroll come from? Check out the Cute Spot, home of adorable SayClub animations such as these. For those who are not familiar with the SayClub, it is a Korean site of the most loveliest animated avatars that can be downloaded to your kitputer and cellie. Here at Hello Kawaii, we would readily give our right pinkies if we knew how to download such avatars to our cellies. But alas, we do not...*sigh*... One day, perhaps...one day...
