Hello Kitty, the most often licensed cat in the universe, turns another gadget into a pink, little girls dream device (see other Hello Kitty Gadgets below).

This time its the NHJ Che-ez! v:u2 Camcorder. The Che-ez! v:u2 is a 3.0MP MP4 camcorder. The digital camcorder can record video in 320 x 240 pixel (max. 20 frames/s) and 640 x 480 pixel (max. 12 frames/s) recording sizes. It has a 4x digital zoom and uses SD-Cards (max. 256MB).

For some reason, millions of people love Hello Kitty (my girlfriend among them), but there's never really been a Hello Kitty video game in America. Namco plans to change that. Working with Hello Kitty's creator, Sanrio, Namco will be publishing Hello Kitty Roller Rescue this August.

Prepare yourself, because the story gets a little wild. Block-O, a horrible blockheaded alien, has invaded Sanriotown. He sees that Hello Kitty and her friends give gifts to each other and then they throw away the block shaped boxes. Block-O will not stand for this, so he attacks Sanriotown to save his cardboard brothers. Oh no!

Hello Kitty laces up her roller skates along with Badtz-Maru, Mimmy, Keroppi and 17 other Sanrio characters to take back Sanriotown!

I'm not sure quite exactly how that will happen yet because Namco hasn't really released any gameplay details beyond "it's a 3D adventure". But they do plan to include five difficulty settings with many different ways to beat the game so that Hello Kitty fans of all ages can enjoy it.

Review from Amazon.com:

Cute! not entire collection cataloged but still good buy

As previous reviewers stated, this book does not have "everything" that's ever been Hello Kittied but still it's okay and a nice coffee table piece. My guests always reach for it when they wait for me on my couch and they enjoy looking at the cute pictures and are surprised to learn all the paraphenilia created by Sanrio. So it's quite entertaining and my friends and I have looked through it more than once even though we are not hardcore HK devotees. I did learn something about Hello Kitty's origins in the first few pages and the names of her friends so it's not a total loss. The items in the book need more organization - some are arbitrarily placed and there's no real sense of chronology in terms of dates (the years of the items emergence are all mixed up). The pages are nicely laid out but it did leave a feeling of wanting to see "more" from the collection because there are things I own that are HK that are not in the book. They can't include everything so maybe the name should be changed to "Hello Kitty Hello Something" lol. Nevertheless, it's really cute and eye catching and entertaining for guests (mostly female) and I'm happy to own it.

Hello Kitty's Tea Party is run by two people who do it for fun in their spare time (when they have some). We aren't some big corporation, and we don't get rich from Hello Kitty by having various ads around the site. The site has been running since February 96. The ads pay for the hosting costs. If it gets too expensive to run, we will take the site down, but because of the enormous traffic we get (thousands of people a day) and all the positive email we get, we figure people like it and so we'd like to keep it running. If you click on the ads on the site, we paid a little bit, which encourages us to update the site more often and make it better.

Hello Kitty is a cute kitsch Japanese cartoon cat that can be found on everything from coffee makers, toasters and TV's to jewelry and clothing. She even has her own theme park "Harmonyland" in Japan!

To celebrate Hello Kitty's 30th anniversary Sanrio the company behind the cat asked artists and designers from all over the world to create artworks to celebrate her birthday. They will be shown at an exhibition called "Kitty Ex" to be held in Japan later this year (2004). We were asked to create a 200ft cereal portrait of her in a wheat field at Yatesbury in Wiltshire.

Hello Kitty has a blog. It looks like she's been blogging since July. Unfortunately, it's in Japanese. The press release says that it is a joint project between Sanrio and NTT Data, but according to the blog, Hello Kitty is writing it herself. She asserts that this moblog picture was taken herself. Maybe that's why she's a bit out of focus. She should have had someone take the picture for her. Anyway, welcome to Blogging Kitty-chan.
