Cherry blossoms bloom across sweets, drinks, mugs, and leather accessories this hanami season.
If you’ve wanted to race around the streets of your home town on a pink-and-white scooter like Natsumi, now’s your chance!
If you’re in the mood for pink foods, look no further this spring than IKEA stores in Japan.
The new limited-edition beverage takes its inspiration from a traditional Japanese springtime confection.
It looks like a sakura drink, but it gets its colour from a different blend of ingredients.
Not quite ready to say goodbye to the cherry blossoms? Then it’s time to enjoy some sakura curry.
Advance sale of super-cute Kirby clothing called for celebration in a Kirby-themed room with cute Kirby cupcakes!
It’s time to picnic under the trees and bask in the fleeting moment of beauty.
Here at RocketNews24, we’ll eat pretty much anything. But we especially love wrapping our smackers around limited edition burgers in a variety of hues and consistencies. We’ve eaten black burgers, red burgers, sloppy burgers, and crusty burgers, but what our little lives have been missing all this time is a pretty pink burger! Luckily KFC China has complied with our wishes and rolled out their brand-new rose flavoured chicken burger.
We sent our lucky reporter Meg all the way to China just to try one of these fancy and feminine chicken sammidges.
In Japan, there are currently 3,440 female inmates confined to seven correctional facilities which all together are built to hold 3,342 women. These statistics come from a spokesperson for the newly opened Saijo branch of Matsuyama Prison, which was built to address this overcrowding problem.
The new prison reportedly offers various facilities and services to cater to women’s needs, but most striking by far are the doors, barred windows and furniture all over the penitentiary, which appear to have been painted a soft pink color, as if to remind the inmates that they’re ladies first and convicted criminals second.
