A Look Back: The Story Behind My Melody

Born in 1975, My Melody first appeared as an adorable bunny with her signature red (and later pink) hood. Designed with a kind and caring personality, My Melody has been charming fans with her sweetness and positivity for decades. Originally created as a supporting character in Sanrio’s lineup, she quickly gained her own following and became a star in her own right.

Over the years, My Melody’s design has evolved, yet her heartwarming vibe remains unchanged. She’s become a pop culture icon, featured in stationery, accessories, home goods, and even collaborations with fashion and lifestyle brands. Whether you love her for her classic kawaii aesthetic or her inspiring message of kindness, My Melody continues to bring joy to fans around the world.

Kiki and Lala (Little Twin Stars): A Cosmic Journey Through Time

Kiki and Lala, also known as the Little Twin Stars, first graced the Sanrio universe in 1975. With their dreamy pastel colors and celestial themes, they’ve always been a symbol of magic and wonder. Kiki, the curious and mischievous twin, and Lala, the gentle and caring one, are a perfect duo who complement each other beautifully.

Their backstory adds to their charm: the twins were born on Omoiyari Star (the Star of Compassion) and traveled to Earth to share love and kindness. This whimsical tale has made them beloved figures for fans who appreciate their cosmic vibe and uplifting message.

Over the years, the Little Twin Stars have collaborated with brands, appeared on endless merchandise, and maintained their place as one of Sanrio’s most iconic duos. Their aesthetic—dreamy clouds, sparkling stars, and pastel hues—is a timeless classic.
