HYPER JAPAN, our favourite kawaii event, is back! Taking place in London over 22nd-24th July 2022, it celebrates everything Japanese with a mix of modern and traditional performers, J-Fashion & cosplay, workshops, food and shopping.
This week, some current favourites and recommendations from Jen, our summer intern.
Making: My husband and I added a toy poodle to our family last year. Here in Japan, there are tons of cute dog clothes but they’re rather expensive. I’ve been thinking about making a dog shirt using this tutorial by Choko Studio.
Watching: Recently I’ve been obsessed with the Sims 4 and have been watching Sims YouTubers. For build videos, LilSimsie is my favorite. For Let’s Play videos, Deligracy is my go-to YouTuber. When I need a good laugh, DeeSims always delivers.
Playing: Sims 4 is the perfect way to escape! Steam was running a sale so I downloaded the base game and 3 expansion packs - Cottage Living, Nifty Knitting, and Laundry Day. In my opinion, those are the most kawaii packs!
Buying: I’m about to start a new, fully remote position so I need to be on my computer all the time. I purchased a bumblebunny wallpaper and icon set from immabunnishop for my PC to make my desktop cute and organized!
Some fun things we’ve found to keep you going until next week.
