Minus Kitty X Prefer Keropi: Sanrio Family

I am not a fan of Hello Kitty

on the verge of anti-Kitty

yet it was suppressed

because my niece and my besties

they are super fan of Hello Kitty

 

therefore

I keep tracks of Hello Kitty

from the perspective of an informer

and get envious of these Hello Kitty fans

due to the varieties of crossover

and the wide availability of merchandises in the market

from pocket tissues to debit cards

Hello Kitty Bags 

 

been wondering for quite sometimes

there are so many characters

under the flag of Sanrio

but why why why

Hello Kitty is the representative

and not Kerokeropi or Badtz Maru

recently playing this

because the customers look cute

with the Sanrio masks

no

I didn’t mean to download it for myself

I am just helping my niece out

so that she can achieve higher level soon

I hope they will just name the game as

sounds better, really

in short:

Sanrio is not all about Hello Kitty
