Jay Chou and Hello Kitty

How many of you love Hello Kitty??

I'm guessing many of the girls will squeal and the boys will groan.
Of course, there are ladies who could not care less about this feline and guys who will unabashedly admit that they do.

Personally, I am not a diehard fan of this cat as in I would never bother to queue up for a limited edition plush toy at the local McDonald's or buy memorabilia on my own.

But a 5-kilometre Run to celebrate Kitty's 40th birthday?

I love running and the goodies sound great!
Not to mention that it all sounds like a hell of a fun event!
Haha....I wasted no time pre-registering when the information was released online.
Not to mention getting my Jay-fan-friends to sign up too, as it is a well-known fact that Jay loves Hello Kitty too!

Since when, you might ask.

Well, we all know he loves Doraemon, Detective Conan and various manga and anime characters which he has referenced in conversations and his songs.

But I have a sneaky suspicion it was after he got to know Hannah circa 2010 that he then became enamoured with this cat which has no mouth.

Take a look at the MV for Princess Syndrome from his 11th album, Exclamation Mark which was released in 2011:

See the Hello Kitty stuff right from the start? :)


Of course, Jay being Jay will have a soft spot for cute things if his girlfriend likes them. ;)



And when he brought The Era concerts to Kaohsiung in December 2011, look who he danced with??


Definitely one of my most favourite photos of him EVER!
Love that DIMPLE!

Just what is the appeal of Hello Kitty?

Maybe this article will shed some light:

Whatever it is, I shall be part of the occasion on 1 November!

Can't wait!
