It’s really no big surprise that people like kawaii. It’s loaded with cuteness! 😊
When my high schooler was a middle schooler, she enjoyed this cartoon program called Phineas and Ferb about two young boys who are geniuses and always cook up some unbelievable event for each episode. The favorite line in the show is when someone usually asks them: “Aren’t you are little young to be doing this?” (“This” whatever the this is that they’re doing that kids should not be able to do.); and they always respond: “Yes. Yes we are!” :)
Well there was one episode where they were trying to overcome an “alien monster” and just didn’t know what “weapon” they could use. Finally Phineas figured it out and it wasn’t anything he and his friend could build themselves. However one of their friends did possess it. Their friend’s weapon was “cuteness”.
Are you
familiar with Kawaii Cooking?
Kawaii
is the Japanese word for “cute”.
I
describe this cooking style in 2 words: adorable cuteness!
It's a
Japanese way of preparing food that is aimed at making kids happy to
eat their food. It is edible art! Per Wikipedia: “Generally
delicate and tiny items are called "kawaii" in Japanese;
miniature food is created with the Japanese miniature-art techniques
of recent decades.”
