Thank you so much for getting all the product photos and prices up so early and releasing this video to help us all ruminate further and minimize the planner panic! Also, congratulations on being able to host the Hobonichi lineup preview event! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Yoseka]

I'm happy it's helpful! And thank you so much, we were so grateful to have been able to host the event as well 😁 -Ashley

Hi, thank you for sharing the Hobonichi highlight video! I actually went to Hobonichi Official Store in Tokyo yesterday, and it was so thrilling to see all the stuff they showcased. I personally love Yumi Katagishi and Hiroko Kubota techos, and their related stationery goods. It’s quite interesting to hear other’s opinions on which one is the best, what they are gonna get, and things like that. We count the hours. Happy Hobonichi Day everyone 🎉

[@ligli500]

I'm brand new to the Hobonichi world, planning on getting my first journal from them for 2024! But I'm actually traveling to Tokyo at the end of September. I'm hoping I can just get all my Hobonichi goods directly from their Tokyo store instead of pre-ordering, but I'm finding it difficult to figure out what is available. Is the store you went to called Tobichi?

[@explore_further_]

@@ligli500 Hi, new Hobonichi friend! I'm so glad to hear that you're gonna come visit Japan this month!! Must be so excited. Yes, the store I mentioned is TOBICHI Tokyo. I think you are so lucky enough to get some of the stationery stuff in Japan because lots of new techos are available from Sep., and the exchange rate is pretty good for travelers. Regarding the Hobonichi goods in stock, I'm not quite sure, but the staff at Tobichi are happy to let you know the latest situation if you call them asking whether or not the items that you want are available. If you have any further questions, you can give me a comment on my youtube channel :) Hope it helps!

[@1334cass]

Such a fun video! Thank you!! 😊 super excited for Hobonichi every year!!

[@wingedstarz]

Omg it’s here!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 the most wonderful time of year!! (Planners and hobonichi reveals!!!)

[@natii1232]

The characters on the one piece little stencil ruler are in order in which they joined the crew! That’s what each number means !! Once again love your videos and so excited for Hobonichi season!!!

[@Yoseka]

Oh my gosh!!! Love that detail! Thanks for sharing :) -Ashley

[@fossilimprint2954]

Love separate covers! Thank you for this video.

[@Linkuji-Ouji]

I’m in love with the HON guys I guess I gotta wait to get it from y’all!

[@krakentowa8727]

I couldn’t resist the A5 Taut Bordeaux leather. So beautiful. And looks like Cordovan leather, but much cheaper!

[@jeanettebg412]

I was watching Ame's stream last night and they really sold me on the twinkle tweed which conflicts me cause I thought i was gonna get the little gifts cover 😂 i am tempted to get both. After seeing the video where you show the cover. I feel even more in love with the Twinkle Tweed

[@vcrouch6041]

Hobonichi season! Can't wait.

[@heathergleiser]

Finally separate covers! I had to order off the Japanese site years ago to get a cover by itself and it really opens up the possibilities of pairing different planners with covers. I’ve got my A5 cover from the 2021 lineup still so I’m going to pair it with an A5 Take A Note from your store for next year. 😁

[@Yoseka]

We're super excited too! Love your planner combo! -Ashley

[@heathergleiser]

@@Yoseka Thank you for putting together such thorough videos for all the different planners! Your unboxing from last year helped me decide. I think I’ll like the Take A Note a little more than the Cousin because sometimes filling a page per day is hard and I’m a planner completist, haha. I hate wasting space.

[@stewartobrien7447]

I think Hobonichi needs to do more in support/theme of Hippopotomuses!!!

[@CaffeineByTwilight]

Bow and Tie does a zodiac year weeks every year and I love it!! The mythology behind the seahorse is that all dragons start off as seahorses and only some ascend to become a dragon. I was born in the year of the Fire Dragon, so I'm definitely getting one in weeks for memory keeping. Or maybe a Hon...Oh dear...I just put together my list to order. Oy. I'm in trouble!! This year has beautiful art and that's just my Hobonichi wants. I still have my Midori and TN lists to put together.

[@foggy_footsteps]

My pay period at work starts on Sunday so Sunday starts, for me personally, make for a good work-related techo. 👍

[@bobasaurirl7700]

Thank you for the video. Im obsessed with hobonichi

[@analog_planner]

Excited for separate covers and books!

[@JanuarieTimewalker13]

I always thought Sunday starts were odd and I was born and raised in the United States. The work/school week starts on Monday…I LOVE the Japanese format for that reason.

[@ameruu]

i’m dying i just realized the one piece stencil ruler the characters next to the numbers is the orders the crewmates joined LUFFY!!! 😢😢😢 SO CUTE they put so much detail… and since seeing them i think i will also add the One Piece HON to my order 😅!!! thank you for all the videos!!!! these are so fun and exciting!!!

[@maryannschuetz5155]

Thank you so much❣

[@louim6997]

So excited to order through Yoseka again this year!!

[@Andehzarz]

I need to get my hands on those Hobonichi one piece pencil boards.

[@susaninwmbg]

So looking forward to the English version Original A6 Techo!

[@bruin_tea_et_ecriture]

Oh heck yeah I'm excited!!!!

[@caelointheclouds]

Does anyone know why the Porter products are only available in Japan? I am so obsessed with those artifacts!!!

[@Jessieannnwade]

Love this video! I have a question on the Little Gifts a6 cover: are the colors pretty bright or more middle of the road? I’ve seen them vary in hobonichi’s photos and online now, so my muted-color-loving-self is curious. 🙂

[@cupcake32009]

Will the Hon be released Sep 1st?

[@Planwithtair]

Do you know if the A5 HON will fit in the cousin covers?

[@mogami4869]

18:33 Does the HON fit in the One Piece leather cover?

[@Yoseka]

We're not sure if it fits into the One Piece leather covers, but the HON is able to squeeze into regular leather covers by Hobonichi (such as the TS Basic Black or Water Green) - though it is a tight fit! - Ashley

[@MissMarilynDarling]

I want a sunday cousin :)

[@foggy_footsteps]

Wait. I can finally get JUST THE COVER I WANT without having to wait until the following year to see if *maybe* it's still available without a techo?!?!

[@heathergleiser]

Yep! 🎉🎉 I’m surprised it took this long for Hobonichi to sell separate covers in the US because they have in Japan for years. I might have to get the Little Gifts cover for a different A5 notebook I have.

[@lavinder11]

I'm confused. You could always buy the cover only from Hobonichi. When you select options, just cover has always been available.

[@samanthalayton2978]

Sunday start?!?!?!?!?!?! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AmandaLeins]

Do the grid sizes change for the English versions? I feel like we need a flow chart 😅

[@user-gt6to6bm5t]

OMG ONE PIECEEEE ORDERINGGGGG OCT 1

[@marilyngardner4269]

I'm glad to see a good selection of botanicals, as that is what I usually choose. I thought the Tiny Dragons Bow Tie design was meant to depict seahorses. 😅

[@chantalmarie8821]

It is! Hobonichi site says they chose seahorse motif. ‘Seahorse’ translates to ‘child of dragon’ in Japan.

[@marilyngardner4269]

@@chantalmarie8821 That's wonderful! They do indeed look like tiny dragons. Thanks for the information.

[@marisolscott6405]

Will you have them at your store on September 1st also?

[@Yoseka]

We will try our best, but we are currently still waiting on our full shipment of Hobonichi planners to arrive! Until then, we will have samples of every cover style at the store available for viewing only starting on the 26th. You can also place a Hobonichi order for local pickup starting August 31st at 10pm EST :) -Ashley

[@marisolscott6405]

@@Yoseka Thanks for your reply!

[@thecloudydesk]

Will you have the 5-year techo/covers?

[@thejournalingbroom]

So you won't have the Japanese Weeks, only English?

[@cupcake32009]

I really want to know as well. I was one of what seems to be the few that wanted the japanese weeks last year, but couldn't seem to get it.

[@Yoseka]

We will only be carrying the English version for now! The Japanese styles seem to be less popular at our shop, and since the cover designs are adhered directly onto the planner it's a bit difficult to choose which ones to get. But! if there's a specific style you'd like us to get, please email us at [e-mail] and we will try to see if we can get it during our October restock :) -Ashley @thejournalingbroom @cupcake32009

[@stareenafraser]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@malsbals]

I’m so confused by the little dragons….aren’t they seahorses? 🤔

[@ruthfeiertag]

The dragons look like seahorses!

[@kyris66]

They're sea dragons!

[@yumisoaresgjrum9493]

Sunday starts is not a Western thing 😊 No country in Europe use sunday start. I think only the US, Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia use Sunday start, I'm 94% sure 😅

[@jessplansandwrites]

From my understanding, it’s a Christian thing (on the seventh day after creating the world, God rested, which can either be taken to be Day 7 of Creation or the first day the world existed). I’m from Germany and I know the official first day of the week there/here used to be Sunday until 1970. Since then, Sunday start anything is not in use anymore. It’s been over 50 years; I am less than 50 years old, so of course I’m Team Monday start all the way. Sunday start monthly calendars are a source of confusion to me.

[@WendyMyFairOne]

I need Sunday start!!!!❤❤❤

[@Yoseka]

Wow, thanks for the info! Now that I think about it, my teacher did make us use Monday start calendars in our (Spain) Spanish class... 😅😅 -Ashley

[@Stormbrise]

Sunday start is based on the Bible and the day people go to church being most important. Learned this in a worlds religions course at university. Whereas the Monday start is the beginning of the work/school week. I have been using a Monday start since 1992, Sunday starts now drive me nuts,

[@bimgorling2036]

I'm thinking that a Sunday start might have been the practice in some places and for a period of time, but I doubt it's an old school traditionally Christian thing. 🤔 The Bible literally says Sunday is the last day of the week, so...

[@itogirls]

CHINESE VERSION LET’S GOOOO🧧🧧🧧❤❤

[@zap021]

They way I GASPED when I saw this. OMG.

[@christinecharbonneau4448]

The “dragons” are SEAHORSES. Seahorses are cute and magical in their own ways (the males carry the young) but they are not dragons.

[@WendyMyFairOne]

I want a Hobonichi cousin with weeks starting Sunday!!!!!!! I need a Hobonichi Cousin with weeks starting Sunday cousin…. How do I get a Hobonichi Cousin with Weeks starting SUNDAY??????❤❤❤😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂

[@jodibradley4937]

They are all sold out

[@arguchik]

They aren't sold out, they just can't accept any orders until 10pm on August 31st, which is the same time as sales open in Japan - 11am September 1st. (Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of New York City / US Eastern Time). Their product pages will say "sold out" until that time.

[@bimgorling2036]

I'm sorry to be that guy, but Sunday starts on a calendar was totally unheard of to me before I started watching American planner content on KZbin, it's absolutely not a "Western thing". And, totally irrelevant to the point I was making, my personal subjective opinion is that a Sunday start is absolutely ridiculous and stupid! 😅 It cuts off the weekend in half, since the workweek generally starts Monday it's much more logical to have your calendar do the same, and it's also weird to me that it originated from Christian countries since Sunday literally is the last day of the week in the Bible (even though we're secularised our calendar is still very much based upon Christianity). I get that if you've grown up with a Sunday start it's easier for you since you're used to it, but much like the way Americans weigh and measure it's dumb and makes zero sense to hold on to 🤣🫢
