♡ Rilakkuma News: Tsum tsums? & Christmas Sets ♡ (October 2016)

I decided to start doing some new videos about the latest releases from Rilakkuma.
In this series, I'll also be making blog posts so you can see full sized pictures of the releases I mention.

Next, let's take a look at the releases this month.

There will be a 2017 special series for Kiiroitori! It's the year of the chicken, so Kiiro will bring you good luck. On November 10, they will be released for sale on the San-X net shop.
Full info at San-X here..

There's also a ton of new Koguma goods coming out! Yay! (Releasing in November)

There are also some bathroom goods including a toothbrush holder, towel hook, sponge and soap dish! They also have face towels too!

There's a new release of the Mochi-petan series! Tons of different San-X characters too!

I absolutely LOVE this Lawson set (available in September), but I can't find it anywhere : (

Any help finding this one??

There are some really cute anniversary sets too!! They are offered for pre order on Mira Plush!

Finally, the 2016 Rilakkuma Christmas series!!! Yay! They took so long to release info about these. I have had the Christmas play set preordered since September! I think I will be buying these directly from the San-X Net Shop. Mira Plush now has them!

Yay, 2016 Calendars! I got one of these, too!
All calendar selections can be found here! I've seen them for purchase on the San-X net shop, ebay, and Amazon.jp.

I also got the yearly bill book! You can keep track of all your expenses! I bought mine on Amazon.jp using Buyee, but I've also gotten it at CD Japan in previous years.

I also love these little mascot stamps! I'm not sure where we will be able to find them though...Tiny things are often so hard to track down.

That's all! : ) Do you like this new Rilakkuma News idea?

Kawaii Halloween DIY ♡ Rilakkuma Pop-up Cards!

So this year, I was shopping for cute Halloween cards. But, I couldn't find ANY I liked!

So I decided I had to make my own.

I came up with this super cute Rilakkuma pop-up card design!

Below is the front cover!

I am also making personalized Halloween cards with a sticker set, Halloween confetti and a Rilakkuma polaroid from me. It is now available on my ebay shop! You can also buy the blank ones if you don't have the time/materials to make these yourself!

Here are the images I used to make them....

I'd love to attend one of these someday! Koguma is so cute!

Series Two: Delivering the Gloves translated story

Delivering the Gloves Theme: The Story of Koguma, PART 2 [NEW RILAKKUMA SERIES OCTOBER 2016]

Today's blog post is all about the second story of Koguma: "Delivering the Gloves" which has also inspired a new series, the Gloves Theme (or Delivering the Gloves Theme). Blog post on the goods in this theme HERE!

(see original story of Koguma here)

Below is my translation of the San-X information page about the story, and also photos used on Rilakkuma's Facebook page. They had posts of the story each evening during a week in September. I translated these day by day on my own Facebook page, too. So if you'd like to follow along when I translate their posts, please check out my page, here! : )

Below is my translation of their posts, and then some images that I translated, too! Enjoy!

Because of the popularity of Koguma, the story continues! It is a heart-warming illustrated story:

It's now become colder. Korilakkuma would like to give Koguma some handmade gloves as a gift. She decided to go to the Honey Forest alone to see Koguma.

Her first trip to see Koguma is exciting, but a little scary, too. Rilakkuma and Kiiroitori are secretly watching from behind. They are worried about Korilakkuma going alone.
