4:54 This is a 90s Taiwanese pencil case. It's probably impossible to trace the original stationary company in Taiwan that made this but I'm sure someone does. They made a bunch of weird designs like Watches, VHS camcorders, Rotary Phones, etc. The plastic moulds are all unstamped and either come in a clear bag labelled "Pencil box" or a cardboard box with a simple "MADE IN TAIWAN" on the back, no way to identify the manufacturer.
I used to have those old-fashioned ones when I was little. I loved them, I still remember the feeling of pressing all the buttons and organising everything into the compartments. Thank you for bringing back the memories.
Oh that fairy one is so cute. It's just the sort of thing I would have loved as a kid and still do! Those soft old manga drawings are so good and I love all the compartments!
This is Soo nostalgic for me, I had a few of these growing up as a kid and Everytime I got bored in class I would often find myself fidgeting with these pencil cases. Please don't ever stop making these types of videos I look forward to them. 😊❤
I wonder if Denmark was notorious for importing a lot from Japan because as I got older i realized i had a lot of Arale stuff, and one of these stationaries too.
Minoriiiiiiiiiii ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I remember this pincel case before in your videos. 80th generation remember those cases for sure, that was a trend in our days at school 😊
I really love the fairy one!❤❤ It has a ton of storage and would be useful since I like to draw/sketch, I would also use the thin part for sticky notes or somethin. Love your videos❤❤❤
The one that has a hello kitty with a lot of slots was in the 80s. I remember almost every male and female student had cool pencil cases to show off with a lot of Mongol pencils, sharpener or cool erasers. I only knew few who used mechanical pencils as their writing instruments. There are a lot of students who want to show off, but there are some who forgot their pencils at schools. All of the functional pencil cases had popular and cute characters like Snoopy, Hello Kitty, Transformers and other cool designs of pencil cases in the Philippines.
I have one similar to the 2nd from the right, the red one. I bought it from a second hand market when I was a little girl and I was obsessed with it for a time. It was so gorgeous to me and I have never seen that design again. The Showa drawings are the best! Real art
I think it’s so funny that the Only pencil case I’ve seen before is literally the very first red Hello Kitty pencil case. My older sister owned one in the mid-late 80s. I remember playing with it as a small child.
We have a lot of these pencil cases as well in the ph, they got really popular when i was young. Usually youd get a pouch or one of those aluminum pencil cases, but the cool kids [who are also wealthy] get these multi use pencil cases. My mom never got me one cuz she said it was a waste of money.😂 she did get me aluminum ones that have multiple levels that open up like a caboodle which ended up lasting longer than these swiss army knife lookin pencil cases. Still it wouldve been nice to experience having one. The showa era designs look so precious. I think i prefer them over newer blockier cartoon styles.
So cute!!! I really need some of the pencil cases though. But at the same time I love the designs on each of them. It looks so retro (which already is) an I love it keep up the good work Minori ❤ and also I would choose the white one it looks cute and very useful
This made me so nostalgic! I am not Japanese, I am from South America, but I grew up in the 90s and loved these novelty pencilcases 😂 now I am tempted to get one for the office 😂
My European ass who never saw them before I saw Minori showing them in one of her videos months ago was like: "What the heck?" Here in Europe most primary school kids do own thse foldable pencil cases who have like 2-4 sides you can fold and than close with a zipper where you put pencils in (to make them hold in place there is a type of elastic band for every pencil) and later on most kids will have a round pencil case pouch or a pencil case where you store stuff loosly and only your most needed pencils (like ink pencil or graphite etc.) are stored on top with elstic bands (you can imagine it like you unzip a mouth and the tongue in the middle has these elestics for like 5-6 pens on there) and yeah it makes more sense to have these pencil cases that I grew up with since you need all sorts of pencils for school like highlighters, markers, colored pencils, graphite pencils, ink pens,... and especially in primary school we had a few more pencils we neede to own like ink pens that you can whipe off of plastic foil for example and some more. When I was in my last year of school I took a ink pen, a pen that removes ink and can corect the erea you removed, a graphite pencil, colored pencils. markers, fineliners, an ereaser, a triangle ruler, a sharperner, glue stick and scissors to school. You also had been the king or queen of the class if you brought duct tape to school
We had a lot Japanese stationeries in the 80s. They were cheap but well built. These pencil cases remained me of the ones i had in elementary school but none with buttons and secret compartments
Im from switzerland and i litteraly never saw anything comparable 😊 We just use the most simple bags made out of fabric and throw all the stuff inside. But now im looking for a stable one for my adult school, as i realized, how expensive pens and other supplies really are. 😅 Thank you for showing those very amazing and unic pencil cases ❤
I was so addicted to these Japanese pencil cases during elementary school and remembered having the Digimon Tamers version to show off my friends who likes Digimon like me😅. I personally love pencil cases version 1,2 and 3 and until these day, im still hunting down these pencil cases but the Digimon theme on it🥰🙈
I saw that first exact case at a Goodwill I did an on the job experience thing at. I was bummed when I got off a shift one afternoon and it was gone, as I wanted to buy it :(
For me the first video of this was actually my first time seeing functional pencil cases. Maybe we have kinda similar ones but in germany we either have just boxes out of metal or plastic but no functionality, just space or soft ones out of fabric and reinforcements inside (probably some kind of stiff cardboard).
Totally loved this !!! 🩷thank u for a fun video - it reminded me of days spent shopping around our Sanrio store for cute stationery and stuff back during school days 🥰
First looks at them before you show each ones features, the teal one is really pretty and I like it the most. Will post my actual favorite after I watch the whole video. See you then.
