Sanrio is rolling out a summer-themed merchandise wave featuring Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Pompompurin, and other characters sporting sun-tanned, heisei-gyaru-inspired designs. The campaign spans multiple retail collaborations, including a Ministop-exclusive pool bag-style pouch, milk-bottle cap charms at convenience stores, chocolate bars on sticks, a GU fashion collab, and an EMODA apparel line with tees and bags. All items share a cohesive summery, retro-cute aesthetic centered on bronzed character designs.
