② Tenkasu Trio’s “Eien no Trinity” I had planned on doing it from the start, but then I heard about Momoka’s graduation* and I wanted to sing it to the best of my ability. I really love this song, and Tenkasu Trio is eternal!! I had a text exchange with Hinata saying we should sing it together, too!♪

Also, ⑩ Chiyu’s solo song “Naite nanka Inai yo” Chiyu acoustic guitar x Conan keyboard

Conan played for me quite a bit, thank you so much! Please collaborate with me again♪ I also got to sing a song that I wrote at the end! I forgot to switch the guitar I was playing so I ended up a bit wobbly at first, but everyone listened the who~le way through and that made me happy!!! My handwriting is super messy, but I’ll post this for you! lolol

So this is how I started my 20th year! I can still see many challenges ahead of me, but I want to clear each one and challenge different things and become a super adult Chi~yu~! To those who couldn’t come to the show thank you for your celebratory messages! The people who put up posters around town, the different shops who put them up, I felt so much love from all of you ♡ For people to be this kind to me, to put their all into a unifying force, to always be supporting me, you’ll always be close to my heart ♡ Meeting all of you, the fans, has been my greatest treasure! Please keep taking care of me♪

Cutie Reviews: Doki Doki June 18

I was hoping to get this done a day or two, or three ago. But with Thanksgiving coming up (and a sudden allergy attack) I’ve been forced to slow down a little bit this week. I wasn’t even sure I would be able to write this with how bad I felt when I woke up this morning. My face felt so stuffed and uncomfortable, and my head was in pain- but I didn’t have a headache? it was a sinus thing I guess, and despite only being awake for a half hour or so after sleeping almost seven hours, I was extremely tired.

Anyway that cleared up and I’m a lot better now!

Theme of the month: ✧˖° Sparkling Summer ✧˖°

This month’s theme is “Kirameki no Natsu“, meaning “Sparkling Summer”. We’re here to make yu look just as sparkly and pretty as the ocean or pol on a sunny, summer day. So go on, dive into this month’s crate!

Alright! So this is the obligatory summer box for this years Doki Doki crate. Let’s see how it holds up!

Suteki Crate

What caught my attention (besides how adorable everything is) is that it indeed fits the summer theme! Either in use, or design, it screams summer fun. Out of all of the items, my most favorites are the My Melody Air Freshner (I’m obsessed with my diffuser I got recently), the ice cream shaped light, and the alarm clock. But everything is really cute.

Bottle Cover

Our first item is this adorable bottle cover that looks like a sock. I’ve seen these tons of times, I’ve seen gachapon dedicated to stuff like this (they’re also known as PET bottles in Japan). You can take them or leave them. For this month we have adorable bottle socks inspired by Mt. Fuji. They are available in a few varieties of color but generally have the same aesthetic going on.

Of course I did try it on my foot just to kind of see how it was on par with an actual sock. It nearly fit my entire foot and of course feels like an average sock- except the toe and heel area is excluded for obvious reasons.  

Basically, the concept behind this is to use the drink sock as a cover for wet or super-chilly bottles. Not only does it collect the condensation, but it will stay cold but give you “padding“ so you’re not freezing yourself trying to hold it.

On a side-note, I noticed that on this Pepsi bottle it fits nice and snugly. But on smaller or different shaped bottles (like coke or something), the top seems a little loose but it still holds fine, that doesn’t change.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

As cute as the concept is, I never actually saw much purpose to things like this. I mean yes, I do understand what it’s for, and I get that, but it’s not something I’ve ever said “oh yes I need one!“. But now that I actually have one, I can see the appeal behind it. I don’t plan on going out to buy more- but I appreciate it.

If anything, I did notice that when I went to grab the bottle my hand slipped by an inch or so. It didn’t make me drop it or anything, but I felt it was worth mentioning.

Shiba Inu Towel

Towels are a necessity for those summer outdoorsy or beach trips, plus they can make cute bathroom decor ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ Here we have some shiba inu inspired towels in a few varieties of colors and patterns.

This a thinner, but long towel, so it takes up less space and still provides enough fabric for toweling off or cleaning up a spill.

A towel is a towel. I prefer kitties over dogs, but I found these doggies to be charming in their own way. Especially the black one~

Sumikko Gurashi Ice Pack

I’ve been waiting to use this! I see orbeez-filled ice packs all the time but I never bought one. I’ve always wanted to but I wasn’t sure how they would work out and kept putting it off. I’ve heard good things though so I was hopeful.

Each ice pack is made to resemble a character, and even though I didn’t get my favorite, I love the pretty blue color with this one, so I don’t mind much. Although, I bet each and every one is adorable~

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Besides just being adorable, these little guys do a great job! When you pop it into the freezer it doesn’t freeze into one giant piece, it kind of gains a slushy consistency. It’s a lot of fun to play with frozen and un-frozen too, it was kind of addictive to squish~

I also used it on my head this morning o(*>ω<*)o it felt so good...

Refreshing Glass Cup/Sanrio Slim Glass

Our next item is an adorable frosted glass covered in Sanrio kawaiiness~

There was 2 cups available, including My Melody or Rilakkuma. The glasses have two alternating designs on them, and this adorable little addition:

As much as I love glass cups, I try not to use them much because cats. But how could I resist this little sweetie? It’ll go perfectly with my other sanrio-themed cups and glasses. And I have a lot.

Sanrio Beach Tote

Our final item for the month is this fun, clear vinyl bag perfect for any beach trip. With it’s material, it’s water-resistant and is big enough to hold everything you would need. It was available with Little Twin Star or Pompompurin.

You know, looking back at it, almost all of my items had a color theme match. This bag, the cup, and my ice pack feature a pretty light blue (and pink in 2 cases) theme. I love when stuff like that connects!

I also noticed that the drink sock I got would have fit the Pompom, rilakkuma, and Neko (and the tan doggy) pretty well. I wish I had gotten the light blue cover to match the colors I got.

Ratings: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

I love how it looks (and smells... am I the only one who likes smelling clean vinyl/plastic/new shoes?), I really wish I got a chance to use it. I had made plans to visit the beach this past summer, but they fell through. But I could always use this bag if I go out one day and it’s raining.

The only problem is you gotta make sure you dry this kind of material off. I had a vinyl umbrella I was obsessed with a couple years back, but because I kept forgetting to wipe it off after use, the plastic stuck together and it ended up ruining parts of it (I don’t have it anymore though. The wind ended up breaking it one day and now I have a really cute, new, non-vinyl umbrella).

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - 4.5 out of 5. Nothing really spectacular or anything, but I found every item to be really cute and it did suit its purpose. I can’t say there’s anything useless in here or necessary.

Quality/Price - 5 out of 5. Everything is really nicely detailed, no stitch out of place or damage in sight. In terms of price... I want to say you could probably get similar items at like a dollar store or something- but for the sake of them being name brand and high quality, I could say they are worth the price.

Theme: 5 out of 5. If everything I said to this point didn’t help seal the deal, maybe the front image of the booklet will. You can literally take these items out to the beach and use them! I also like how they featured summery colors to kind of seal the deal.

Total Rank: 14.5 out of 15 Cuties. I loved the high amount of quality and detail flowing out of this box. While did have my tiny nitpicks like usual, I was very impressed by the full-on theme follow through and practicality of the items. That always plays a big part in my reviews. Once again, I felt that it was very heavy with Sanrio items; but I adore Sanrio series, a lot. I could almost make a whole bedroom themed after sanrio (and lets be honest I probably will one day).

Maybe one box themed after everything Sanrio (or at least hello kitty PLEASE), then step away for a box or two. I feel like it could refresh the brand a little, but who knows, maybe I’m the only one a bit bothered by it? I see a lot of sanrio since I order multiple boxes.

♡ Cutie Scale ♡

1. Glass Cup - I mean come on, wasn’t it obvious? It’s covered in adorable pinkness! 

2. Ice Pack - It was going to be cute either way and I knew that; I especially like this light blue color of the orbees. They look comforting and cool~

3. Beach Tote - I mentioned this before, but I love translucent colorful things. I also see this as being super practical, and the design on the front is precious.

4. Bottle Cover - I thought the Mt. Fuji pattern was pretty cute. I’m not crazy about the color though <3<

5. Shiba Inu Towel - As cute as the dogs are, the green color of the towel was kind of a turn-off to me. I don’t have anything against green, but the colors are so bold, and vibrant that it kind of stands out against the softer pastels of the rest of the box. 

Alright! That does it for this review. I had fun and I hope you guys did too, even if it is ultra-late. I’m doing what I can to try to speed through these and catch up. My plans for tomorrow are to cover the July Yume Twins box, but remember, when I get a Gacha Gacha crate I’m likely to focus on that so at least that’s up to date.

Anyway, until next time, stay refreshingly cutie!
