Kaomoji

nobody said anything

As my quest for more sozai and kaomoji (facemarks) continues (* ̄∇ ̄)ノAHAHA, I came across some very useful websites to share:
button01 Hiroette.com: Just an introduction to kaomoji.
button02 Facemark.jp: A whole lot more kaomoji variations!
button03 Jayhan: Found an excellent tutorial on how to turn hiragana into kaomoji with MS Japanese IME Keyboard!
button04 International Herald Tribune: Another excellent article from iht on kaomoji - “In Japan, (*^o^*) Means Happiness”

The uniquely Japanese face icons, called kaomoji, may not convert Western cell-phone message-senders as they start using their mobile-phone screens for data services over the next year or two. But they raise a puzzling question: The Internet was supposed to bring down cultural barriers and help forge a sense of community that is common around the world, right?

Bought a bunch of nonsense online again… Couldn’t resist the cute Decole-like packaging of this teeth whitening kit. Once again, Jpmon didn’t fail me and I got my parcel in 3 days! Got the dead skin remover gadget that I saw on “Nu Ren Wo Zui Da” and a “silver” foot file, some Kose masks and a bust moisturizer! Photos uploaded to my Poupeegirl. :)
