Japanese Disasters
Q: What is the first thing you should worry about when there are mag 9 earthquakes, tornadoes, flash floods and huge tsunami's hitting your region?
A: Whether you look decent or not. With this hello Kitty disaster kit, you can survive the best that mother nature has to give while looking cool.
Included in the kit are...
Disaster hood (covering Body) Flame retardant
Blanket
Pouch
Crime-prevention buzzer
Bandanas
I'll take a set if there is one with Erika Sendo on it.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

depends on where i am.....
if i'm at home, i grab my coat n my disaster bag which has battery,radio, touchlight...etc
if i'm ouside, run for cover first....shelter or any thing that i can hang on to.
don't think you be carrying that disaster kit with you all the time right....you won't know when disaster will strike so won't be useful. even if you have it with you, will you share or give it to people who need it more then you do??? like the eldery or a child who is hurt, at that time, it does not matter if you look nice or not.

Ah yes... once again, the power of a Hello Kitty can beat anything, even natural disasters...

On the plus side, the bright pink colors will make it easier to find, and could be used as a makeshift signalling device.
You make a good point- I see a marketing opportunity towards anime-fans with branded survival kits. Would Haruhi make a good disaster survival spokeswoman? I think I'd prefer the calm and collected (and capable!) Yuki in that event.

No torch light?
I'm wondering just how effective is this set if there is a disaster.

Oh wow they forgot the important stuff!
And band-aids! And food... i mean, that's more important than a bandana right?

I agree with Danny - those things need bishoujo on them. After all, in addition to food, water and shelter, moe is also essential to an otaku's survival.

If there ever were any bad earthquakes in the UK, I would take it lol. But I've only ever felt 2. One when I was about 6, a small wobble. And one this year, which was more wobbly. It woke me up lol.

Good for urban disasters maybe, but what if it's a zombie invasion? :D

... also features nice and calming hello kitty art theme for your every disaster:P

Lol, the disaster hood looks like a kendo headgear. At least the bright pink color prevents you from being hit by a car. (as in the Saitama quake where a guy running out of his house was hit by a car)

I'm living in a country that don't have nature diasters so no need to buy that..If got other than Hello Kitty anime...I willing to buy it.....
