Super Kawaii: Birth of a Cute-Smart-Phone

YankoDesign – The next in a long line of contenders for the so-called “Smart Phone.” Featuring a very limited button selection, camera, color screen, and hiding feature, (and not much else,) here comes the “Cute Phone!” It requires only one more feature to be true to the culture: a hole to hang colorful keychains and blinky beads!

Blinky trinkets is what this phone needs! You know, the kind you buy in the whole of Europe, street vendors in Rome, London, and most important: the entirety of Japan.

A quick lesson in Japanese! The word “Kawaii” in Japanese is close to the word “Cute” in English. The difference is, there’s a large “counterculture” tied to Kawaii. A whole lifestyle!

Your first example is this post. The images you see here depict the “Moto Concept” by Mr. Liang. It’s inner workings and functions he leaves to us to guess. The cuteness is clear!

Super Kawaii!

Designer: Joseph Liang

    Food and drink can also affect hormone levels. For example, both alcohol and marijuana can decrease testosterone production, so should be avoided. It’s believed by some authorities that female hormones in tap water (the result of urine excreted by women taking the pill) can have a negative effect, as can the hormones in meat and dairy produce from animals raised using intensive (factory) farming methods. If you want to play it safe, drink bottled water, and eat only organic or hormone-free animal produce.
