[@jackieowen7717]

I live for when Chris gets aggressively cute.... "look at the headbands! LOOK AT THEM!"

[@triton6127]

She plays the trumpet in the SHOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!

[@ninfiali]

I love the genuine, positive vibe of each of your videos. I never miss one. You radiate good feelings

[@glamrockfoxy6667]

I know right

[@HopeDiamond101]

I love that you take the time to show the merch, tell us the price, and explain how to convert yens to US dollars. And the food looks SO good, oh my goodness! Thank you, and please keep up the great work!

[@JanellDixon-s9q]

I love the Cinnomoroll with the Sakura

[@genevieve2845]

I just kept crying throughout this entire video. Hello kitty makes me so happy

[@sachikomarino]

Was in Japan last June and actually saw you in USJ at the Jaw ride. I was so shy to say hi but it was great to see you. Thank you for the tips. Love your content 🥰

[@Jeshpii]

Thanks for sharing your trip! Was really nice! I especially liked the high tea with the hello Kitty tableware, and the hotel looked lovely and calm and spacious.

[@xanthonyjamesx]

Your laugh reminds me of the guy who saw the double rainbows, so happy & infectious 😂

[@Peajay007]

The red hoodie in large with the white scrunchie. BUT I just mentally blew my entire souvenir budget on all the merch 😂

[@beckylg8176]

I absolutely adore the seating for the lunch show. It looks so comfortable and i Love love love the big Hello Kitty to snuggle with next to you!❤

[@necroticboop]

Okay, but that little acrylic show ticket keychain ABSOLUTELY would have come home with me. And who would have guessed Kitty was a jazz fan?

[@noonie2738]

The tea cup and the plate that you got with your Matcha latte that would go right into my purse IMMINENTLY! 😂

[@thelberdos6344]

I love all your hello kitty contents!!!I've been a fan of hello kitty sanrio since 1984 and i still love them even up to now that im already 50...All ur videos in general i love it❤.

[@jennyr20_]

I love the tote bags, especially the denim one!! I would def buy it if I were there 😭

[@pommom-cm1ej]

Never have I enjoyed a Japan video more than this one! I am leaving in 20 days October 10th 2023 for Tokyo and then on to Osaka to see more best friend of 22 years who was an exchange student at my highschool. I was so delighted to see that this island didn't beside Osaka! Definitely adding this to my itinerary! Thank you so much for sharing. And I am also impressed that the places are vegan! I am vegetarian. Can't wait to see this place.

[@mamakat2727]

OMG I would get the mugs, tumblers, t-shirts, plushies, any of the exclusive items….I could go on forever because I am obsessed with Hello Kitty, Pochacco, Kuromi & My Melody🥰🥰🥰

[@justinecarreon1618]

I am loving all the merch especially the shirts, hoodies and totes!

[@dct9086]

Omg if I would have stayed the night in the hotel, I would wanted to take everything back with me. Everything is so beautiful.

[@Melissa-tw2gp]

It’s all so adorable!!! I would be broke by the end of the day. I recently got an astronaut Kitty from the Houston airport. She’s so cute.

[@rossyrossy2988]

Hello Chris , Thank you for featuring this Hello Kitty Tour, I truly love HK. I Been to Japan several Times, but hopefully this November I Will be able to visit Awaji Island and hug that big HK Head.❤😂

[@alliekuma4234]

Vegan food!!!❤❤ What a cute and lovely place. Thanks for bringing us with you 😊

[@michellecarr3449]

I didnt watch hello kitty on tv. But i would have if i had cable. Love the hello kitty wallets.😮❤

[@justanerdyhobbitgirl]

Thanks for recording part of the show; it's so amazing

[@pauladavitt7554]

Looks fantastic,. That bathroom looks amazing, that’s a definite soak in the tub type bath.

[@ojyochan]

I really appreciate that they have a vegan meal!❤❤❤

[@sanashi27]

Everything is super cute there!!! The food look really delicious, too!

[@elkeyes]

For merch, I'm similar to you I think, I like clear files (I used to also collect pencil boards but those aren't as common these days), or postcards/mini art boards. That way I can have a collection without taking up a ton of room and they usually have really pretty art! Some acrylic stands are nice too, but I know they get pricy. I will definitely be adding Awaji Island to a future trip plan, it looks like a nice place to check out Hello Kitty and then chill! :)

[@kayleywycherley4479]

I love the big sparkly red apple x

[@genevieve2845]

I love the mermaid theme pillows so much

[@JulieHC-lp6mb]

We love your food and merch videos! Now Dean needs to go to this island.

[@LaurensTravels]

This place seems so cute but definitely a place for younger kids to enjoy more. Wanted to see how this compares to the hello kitty theme park.

[@ChristineMPL]

You asked us what do we like on the stuff you showed ... I LIKE THEM ALL ❤❤❤

[@beckylg8176]

Omg i loved the Kimono Hello Kitty❤❤❤

[@Gennybean]

All I can say when seeing all the cute merchandise is "Take my money!"

[@andjames]

LOL Chris this was a great video, really enjoyable to watch. Felt like I was there right alongside you, and several parts made me chuckle out loud. Thanks!

[@michellecarr3449]

Yes. The head bands are super cute.😮😊❤🎉

[@PinkSwiftPenguin]

I love the HK mermaid and princess themes! 😻

[@creativelychristine17]

I adore anything Sanrio !! Pochacco is my favorite character love your content!!

[@Greenonion97]

I love your channel so much it always feels like im right there on the trip with you. Whenever im having a bad day i just come here to go on vacation ❤

[@tedisoriano1360]

Thank you for showing the merch! 🥰🥰🥰 My favorites are the zippered totebags with cute inner prints and the steel cups/mugs (since the logistics of bringing home the ceramic and glass ones would stress me out the whole return trip home, specially since most international airports outside Japan just toss check-in luggage). Clear files, character pens and magnets - stuff I can use constantly while working so I get inspired to save-up to return to the happy place sooner. ☺

[@norecipesnoborderschanel1449]

Omg !! I love it! We will stay on the island for 3 days next June. Thanks for sharing and your video are super!!! Can’t wait for next video about the Nigen No Mori!

[@michellemeentemeyer7047]

I love hello kitty island.

[@stacyscooby8488]

Beautiful my family and I went to the theme park while we were in japan. Now I want to come here . I want to go back to Japan again.

[@blueberymufn11]

The pink pochacco i love it so much 🥺

[@michellecarr3449]

I would eat ice cream out of those hello kitty bowls. And use the cups too.😊😮❤🎉🎉

[@loverrlee]

I’m so glad you bought the clear file I thought was the cutest one! 🥰 As someone who hopes to visit these cute Hello Kitty places in Japan someday, but I might never actually get to see them in real life, thanks for always making such fun content that really lets me feel like I’m enjoying the experience along with you! You’re the best Chris! ❤️

[@ashleyerffmeyer9399]

This island is amazing 😻

[@TechnoTina56]

So random but I really love that bowl for the onion soup! 😂 it’s interesting how the entire menu is vegan! I wonder why they chose to do that? Maybe Hello Kitty is vegan? 🤔 Really want that convertible car and Louis Vuitton heels 😆 but if I was there I’d probably buy those towels! They’re so cute! Love your videos and how you show the price of all the merchandise! ありがとう!

[@iamshannooo]

I don’t wanna sound weird but sometimes your videos are like ASMR to me ❤😂

[@jordanw3856]

[@tinakaykay]

Need a place like this in germany 😍 My fave is Hello Kitty but I like Cinemonroll and MyMelody too.

[@bonjouritsizzy3405]

Honestly this seems like a wonderful experience, I am not surprised that they have an actual island for Hello Kitty :D I grew up with Sanrio, so this is pretty cool :D

[@Yukoshionji]

I love your video thema ... 🎉 all about disney

[@Maddening_Music]

My favorite Sanrio character is Keropi, I do like Kuromi too

[@nunya96]

was wondering when you’d end up here, lol! first place I always go in shops is towards the plushies :)

[@primadiva420]

Bucket List!! 😮

[@LorettaCorona]

yes Chris I need to go to that island love all the experience 🦜

[@almasplushbin]

I did not know hello kitty could play the trumpet!! What can't she do? She is so talented 🤲💖

[@boomerantoinefamily4368]

Please do more of these things im so happy when you tour cool places because im to lazy lol

[@genevieve2845]

My favs are Kiki and Lala!!

[@thehapagirl92]

I love that the show is partly in English. Japan doesn’t cater to English speakers very well

[@Cynner1111]

Not a fan of Hello Kitty but this seems a lot of fun!!

[@Persephonenoele]

OMG! I want the convertible.

[@eleanorstarr6498]

Love your videos

[@lesliereynolds4492]

First I heard of this place. I will try to fit it in.

[@BreeandBlake]

Hello Chris! Hope you can make a review about the best hotels to stay in Osaka! 🥰

[@julez3161]

i like the tote bag

[@robertwalker9670]

Heading to Japan in April

[@annyhe2093]

Love your videos! Can you do a video showing all your clear files since you have so many 😅

[@tdrexplorer]

You can find the video on our Patreon! www.patreon.com/tdrexplorer

[@roxycruz13]

Hello!! Going to Japan at the end of October. I love your videos!! After watching your Puroland video I decided to buy a ticket. Any suggestions on how to get to the Hello Kitty Show Box from Osaka? Appreciate it!! ❤❤

[@andreatthatsme]

Hi hun. Found your video awesome. I'm a long time hello kitty fan for 40+ years. I lived in Japan 30 years ago and working toward moving back. I have a few questions... 1 - is Awaji near Kyushu? If not then what is the closest popular location nar it. 2 - is there a link to the hotel you stayed in so I can make arrangements? 3 - o you know of any nearby hotels not on the island? Thank you. My favorite of the video is the beginning with the 1st shop. I love tote bags. ❤

[@bsweeten901]

I would buy a sweatshirt, some bags, some cups, some keychains, plushies, hair scrunchies and maybe a few other things depending on what budget I have for this so I don't go crazy with my money 😂

[@michellecarr3449]

Its chocolate. Gimme gimme😮 ❤❤❤🎉😊

[@cakey138]

I never knew in Canada they pronounce decals like dekels 😂. In America we say Dee-cals.

[@cakey138]

I wish you would of went through the merchandise after the show you watched instead of the merch at the beginning of the video. All those rhinestones were so mesmerising

[@veronicahejny]

At the first store, there was a sequin Hello Kitty holding a sequin apple and that would ABSOLUTELY be coming home with me 😂

[@michellecarr3449]

COFFEE MUG😮!!!! 😊

[@c.urryrice]

hi! may i know this is not a disney video but perhaps can you tell me the difference between the stores at the front of the park and the smaller shops in the specific areas? (if you know what i mean 😅) for example the items inside pooh’s hunny hunt shop and the main street shop, is there any unique items compared to the bigger generic shops?

[@CCC-mq7ml]

❤ how do you handle your suitcases? I am thinking to check in first at 3pm then go explore the island but then next day I would have to check out by 11am😅. Do you think the hotel would help to keep my suitcases till I leave the island in the later afternoon on my 2nd day? Or do you recommend me store my big suitcases in Osaka? After watch your clip, I am ready to go now!

[@BLUE_BaoBaby]

I want that red hoodie!!!❤ do u ship to U.S.?

[@michellecarr3449]

I have a cat at home. His named after the singer bob marley. 😮😊❤. 🐾😃🤗😇

[@allysoncashdollar1119]

I just need to go to Japan. Like seriously

[@tdrexplorer]

There's an endless number of things to experience! I hope you get to visit someday.
