One, two, three… let’s go J-News! For real-time updates of J-pop/Lolita/kawaii/Visual Kei news, you’re welcome to friend me on Twitter. Whenever I receive nifty special news, invitations, discounts etc, I immediately send a Tweet. Here’s the latest buzz…

6% DOKIDOKI (the legendary decora and fairy kei shop in Harajuku, as seen in Fruits) is having a meet-n-greet fan night. Founder Sebastian Masuda will answer questions, and you can “Find out the secret of Sensational Kawaii!” The event takes place on Sept 5 from 7-8pm, in San Francisco’s just-opened New People World.

† How about treating yourself to a cute bento box for back-to-school? J-List recently listed an adorable polar bear face lunch box among other kawaii bento goods.

† And if you’re pining for a back-to-school outfit, come check out the designer/vintage clothes from Hong Kong and Japan that I’ve listed in my Online Garage Sale. Tons of cute accessories added.

Video of a Japanese kitten with EYEBROWS! Enough said.

† A new obento iPhone app is on the market. It features cute sushi with happy faces. You can see more adorable food on my Cute Yummy Time blog.

    OOoh, I like, tho for a wee lil military wife like me, that $28 is a stretch. So I just have big love for your DIY, I was just thinking that route when I read on and saw you did the same thing. Having had only a few hours of broken “new baby” sleep over the last week, I thank you for your creativity!

    New People and Sweet Streets sound pretty cool (I really like this work from the exhibit)! But I'm on Oklahoma so…We don't have anything like that.
    I remember Yuka! She was working when I went to 6%DokiDoki, and she was so cute! I loved her outfit. I'm actually wearing the top I got from there today. :D But not in such a neon-bright DokiDoki fashion. :)
