I find it really interesting how with many popular, long lasting toy brands they usually go through reboots or redesigns (e.g., Mickey Mouse, Barbie, My Little Pony). But Hello Kitty is pretty much the exact same as she was almost fifty years ago.
i remember listening to a podcast about a girl with autism and they talked about how she was so obsessed with this one thing and i thought “that sounds so cool, autism must be cool but i’m not like that.” then got home and planned my whole hello kitty life. got diagnosed with autism like 10 years later hehe
i’m also so happy sanrio is making a comeback here in the western world! i’ve been a hello kitty and just sanrio in general fan my whole life thanks to my momma. as i got a little older other kids would tell me i was too old to like hello kitty but that never stopped me. when i entered 6th my teacher was obsessed with hello kitty and sanrio too and it reminded me hello kitty is for everyone of all ages. i’m glad everyone is remembering that now and allowing themselves to indulge their interests especially in sanrio!
After remarking to my therapist that Hello Kitty was my favorite show at age 2 and then playing Slayyyter's "Hello Kitty" on repeat the last few days, I can't help but feel I manifested this💅🏻...Your contributions with the editing and all that are appreciated tho.
4:34 You’re right. If that precious pudding puppy does not make you reanalyze your life’s purpose every time you see his lil :3 face on a random object, you don’t truly understand the wonder that is Pompompurin. I’ve been a hello kitty girlie since I was a kid but I saw him on a makeup pouch, found out he was a walking flan w/ a caramel beret, and I cried in the aisle at Daiso. Like he is everything to me now😭
silly little thing about me: chococat is my EVERYTHING. I resonate with him so intensely it's INSANE. chococat was born and raised in chocotown colorado, his parents are divorced and he is also a big tech nerd who uses his whiskers to intercept information and radiowaves and stuff! he definitely isn't the most obscure of sanrio characters but I am constantly fighting for my LIFE to find chococat themed things 😖
I remember watching "the toys that made us" episode on this. It was insane finding out how big of a phenomenon Hello Kitty is. Even crazier knowing her lore. (I even had a VHS of her show as a kid)
My family was stationed in Japan for 3 years starting when I was in kindergarten and the mall on the island had an entire Hello Kitty store. It was literal heaven as a child and I was so confused when I lived back to the states around 2010 and Hello Kitty wasn’t nearly as widespread as in Japan. I truly had everything I could get my hands on: clothes, stuffed animals, pillows, notebooks, keychains, backpacks, and, of course, a coin purse. Child me lived a breathed Hello Kitty and I have never stopped
one of my sisters was obsessed with hello kitty when she was a teenager and she was super quiet and to herself so having her not have a mouth was a huge thing for her to identify with
When I was a kid with no concept of money, I did a mail in order to join the Hello Kitty fan club. I got one or two pagackages before my parents figured it out and canceled it. They were super cute box gifts though, so I don't regret it one bit!
I was heavily into Hello Kitty when I was a tween in the early 2000s. I had a few other Sanrio characters but Hello Kitty was my favorite because she was a cat- or so I thought.
I love most Sanrio characters but recently i was bewitched by Keroppi. There's just something about him... Everytime i see my Keroppi socks, i'm filled with peace and joy 💚
When I was little I had a Hello Kitty movie, which I cannot remember the title, that scared the hell out of me. It featured hello kitty and her sister and they went on a mission through snow and there was a witch. I don't know if this movie even exists but if anyone remembers it, please let me know that my memories are real.
Love this! Literally could have watched an hour of hello kitty lore 😂 definitely feel the resurgence especially with all the collabs she’s gotten in the past couple of years
I think this is my first time commenting on youtube ever..I just want to say that I really like your way of expressing yourself! And as a sanrio obsessed girl since child, I rally like so much this video of yours, thank you! 🩷💖🌸 (also, sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language)
I remember when the "controversy" over Hello Kitty not actually being a cat hit. I think a lot of people who were more than casual fans already knew (I mean, she has a pet cat! If she was actually a cat that would be....really weird). Western media has been a little inconsistent as well over the years, some of the cartoon dubs describe her and her family as cats, either because the company doing the dubbing didn't care, or because they thought american kids wouldn't get it. They might have been right, I don't know. Still, the Hello Kitty Paradise theme is a bit of a jam! The coolest Sanrio toy I have is a mini-plush box set of Hello Kitty as Alice In Wonderland (with Dear Daniel as the Mad Hatter, and a tiny White Rabbit My Melody). Got it at a gift shop specializing in Japanese imports in maybe 2003, where I also discovered San-X and Gloomy Bear. I love weird cute culture things!
@@jordysyoutubechannelI was typically a Melody fan! Their stuff was so expensive though so the most I could get my mom to buy me were pens and pencils😭💕
My Animal Crossing pocket camp character is wearing a Hello Kitty inspired outfit with the red bow of course and carrying a My Melody Plush 🥰 Loved this video!
i love cinnamoroll so much. i don't even own any sanrio stuff and i have zero idea what cinnamoroll's personality is. it could be a war criminal for all i know but it's so cute and i love them
a lot of people will just say hello kitty isn’t a cat and it’ll be a tiktok like every few months where everyone is like omg she’s human so i was relieved when you explained further what was actually said in the statement that people like half quote
Not even one second and my nan just broke her toe, my dad left with milk, my mom just died, my great grandparents got in a car crash, my sister in law literally had a heart attack, my uncle came back from prison, my cousin went missing and my brother, uh im not sure what happened with him.
This video got me hooked on your channel. Cant wait to see you blow up, I think your humor and the quality of your videos so far is excellent :) The whole Hello Kitty not being a cat thing blew my mind
In the Netherlands we had a character since 1955 : Nijntje=Miffy; a little rabbit who appeared in Children's books written and drawn by Dick Bruna.The designer always thought the Hello kitty design was copied from the Miffy character. I remember when first seeing Hello kitty it did have a mouth which looked just like Miffy character. I later found out that there was another children' s book writer/drawer: Ray Goossens a Belgian author who made stories about Musti a cat who looks suspisciously like Miffy since 1969.
I’m a cat lover and have a twin sister so I love love love hello Kitty and Mimmy! When we were babies my sister had a pink blanket and I had a yellow blanket so I always identified with the red and yellow color identification for the kitties🥰
In the disney movie alice’s cat is named dinah and i can never forget it because of the scene when she falls to wonderland she yells “goodbye dinah goodbyyyyyye”
Love the new video, Jordy!! (And congrats on 30K!!!!!!!!🥰🥰) I was never one of those people who got hooked on Hello Kitty which is really weird because cats are my favorite animal. 🤔
Loved this video, honestly I believe a Pusheen video would be cool too! I remember Pusheen was my thing rather than hello kitty. But also, hello kitty deserves big respect for how long she’s been popular!
So embarrassed that Hello Kitty was the only Sanrio character I knew of until I GRADUATED 😥 IN 2020 😬 How did I not stumble up on other Sanrio characters??? I've been chronically online since I was 11
I never got to get into hello kitty or sanrio as a kiddo so I'm thrilled that theres so much merch 🥺 💜 gudetama is my lil guyyyy Also not sanrio, but summikko gurashi (spelling?) is also adorable!
When I was little I would play with this hello kitty candy themed dollhouse from the 80’s(?) at my grandmas. It was my moms when she was little 5:00 there was a yellow and red hello kitty toy in the set I never knew it was her twin lol
“Everybody calm down we’re talking about a man in a video of hello kitty” me being a male sanrio fan in my room with hello kitty posters and a sanrio painted MURAL
me watching this in my sanrio filled room, drinking in my hello kitty cup, eating hello kitty jellies , and wearing my hello kitty pajamas " oh wow that's interesting"
Jordy, I'm so proud of you for getting sponsors and getting recognized for your great work. When I helped you with the RE7 game stream, yes, I'm that Neba. No, no ,no, put those flowers down. I'm just some dude. But ever since that stream, you had me at (British accent) "Helloo" ❤
