You might have seen a previous post i have done about the Rilakkuma Halloween candy buckets. Going to the game center, I had to wait while another person failed at getting one, so my BF and I played another catcher. My BF tried winning this pan first. He moved it good in two moves, but then got stuck and wasted a lot of money on it, and still couldn't get it. I told him to step aside, I popped in 200yen and GET!

Rilakkuma is celebrating the 7th anniversary this year, and they keep cranking out so many prices for the Game centers. While I love Rilakkuma, i would like to see more new characters released into the UFO catchers.

While this pan is small, and isnt great for practical cooking, it is the perfect size for hotcakes! Rilakkuma LOVES hotcakes!!

I LOVE RILAKKUMA, so of course I want to try and win new Rilakkuma prizes. The new series has him with Hotcakes! SO CUTE!!! There is another one with him lying down with the hot cakes i want to win. Maybe tomorrow ill try and get it.

I was wandering the area across from the shinjuku Ni-chome area after trying to find large size shoe, which was a lost mission. But looking for a place to grab dinner, i found this cute fat boy character eating a bowl of whatever. I wanted to eat there but the menu was all in Kanji and was too expensive, so i opted for just taking a picture of the mascot.

I live in the of Suginami http://www.city.suginami.tokyo.jp/ which is part of greater Tokyo. Now Japan is very know for its many many mascots from traincards to toilets. Suginami-ku had a contest for the city to make its own mascot.

Now I have no idea what these characters are, they looke like a mic of a dinosaur and a bug. Never the less, they are cute. Again Japan loves to make items limited time, so for a while 7-11 japan was selling this desert bread. The bread is slightly sweet with strawberry cream filling with the cute girl characters face ready for you to bite off!

Here is a video promoting the bread

For a short while at Lawsons convinnience store was having Hello Kitty promotions which included this cute pastry! Its apple pie in the shape of an apple all Hello Kitty style. I ate at least five of these during their promotion period, but like most items in Japan they are only for a limited time. When visiting or living in Japan, if you see something you want to try, TRY IT becuase it will most likely be gone when you go back.

One of the cutest things to be created as of lately in Japan. These little cat balls are know as Nemu Neko, which means sleepy cat. At the game center there is a little booklet about the nemu neko, and it like to bite little mice, but not eat them.

Here is the main site that promotes which one will be available at game centers for each month http://www.chara-hiroba.com/category20_list.php
