They've turned sweet, innocent Hello Kitty into a hardcore punk. *sobs*

Kitty's finally an adolescent. I don't know what to make of this.

Seriously, I don't either. They transformed a family friendly figure into a angsty hard rocker. This is one of these times where I am shaking my head in disbelief.

Oh man... I need to make fun of that in my novel... Where a character uses a variation of the analogy "When pigs fly" by saying "When Hello Kitty becomes a punk rocker" with another character saying "Hello Kitty did become a punk rocker." Or something along those lines.

Well seeing as she's 35 now, it's about time she looks the part. Shin Honne Kitty.

lololol

There have been punk and goth Kitties for a while now, so this is just another incarnation to add to the list.

Personally, I think this design rocks~

Loonatics, anyone?

They should have to balance this out. Badtz Maru should be an Enka singer.

Because it's a first time collaboration between Sanrio's Kitty and the real life japanese band "X Japan."

She's being used on the X Japan World Tour posters. That's also why this is a big deal. Check it out on the main X Japan website:
