Animation, drawings, color, and cuteness. What could go wrong? We think… nothing! This great combination makes for an awesome blog, especially for the art lovers and striving artists out there.

許・美美“, a blog by kurohiko, features all her artwork, most noticeably of characters from the Sanrio anime “Onegai My Melody” featuring the likes of My Melody and Kuromi, other shows, as well as those from console games. Don’t let the title intiimdate you, because her entries are in English. Her take on these well-loved characters are different though: instead of drawing them as how they usually appears, she creates entirely different environments for them, creating her very own “What if?” scenarios. The result: great pictures you will probably never see anywhere else owing to the unique settings these can be found.

Onegai My Melody

Onegai My Melody

With the release of the anime “Onegai My Melody“, new characters were introduced. Among them are My Melody’s rival, Kuromi, also a white rabbit but donning a black jester hat with a pink skull, and her tapir, Baku, a very patient guy, especially where Kuromi is concerned.

Kuromi has a gang of her own called Kuromi’s 5, who all ride bikes and wear black. Members of these are Nyanmi, Wanmi, Konmi, and Chumi. Don’t mistake Kuromi for being tough and heartless, though! She’s actually very girly, and she has the habit of having crushes on cute guys.

Humans also became part of the cast. From Yumeno Uta, the girl protagonist and friend of My Melody, to Hiiragi Keiichi, the seemingly cold violin player and heartthrob, they add more humor and magic to the widening “cast” involving My Melody.


Now this is something you don’t see everyday: “Kitty World Order” was an event hosted by Pro Wrestling Guerilla, in conjunction with Gente California and Sanrio. It featured the classic battle between “good” and “evil”: Hello Kitty vs. Kuromi. It was held April 5 at the American Legion Post in California.Hello Kitty Kuromi Wrestling

The victor? Who else but Hello Kitty.


We’ve got a special featured video for all of you today! Since we’ve just celebrated Easter, today’s Dream Studio pick is all about this occasion!
