Love it, but please read on.

I loved everything I saw in the pictures, and I love the brand Listen Flavor. With that said, I got the exact 3 items pictured (same color too), plus two random shirts. Yes, I know it's probably obvious those are the exact 3 pieces you'll get, but sometimes the clothing items in the descriptions are just for "display"/reference, ya know?

I had considered buying two of the lucky bags, since they're supposed to be "lucky" aka random, but I decided to hold off and just buy one to begin with. I'm glad I did. Since the first 3 items were exactly what's in the picture, my guess is that if I had bought a second bag, I would have gotten at le...

Definitely cute clothes, but the "fukubukuro" is misleading

Permalink

Short review:
- The clothes in the bag are not random. It comes with the items you see in the picture.
- Everything is elastic so it can fit up to US size medium. Except for the knit top which is best suited for US size small.

Long review:

Everything is super cute and great for both the spring and fall (and winter if you layer a bit), but if the contents aren't random, they should have added in the description, "this comes with everything you see" not "this 2018 lucky bag (fukubukuro)".

I bought two thinking I might not get that many duplicate items, but as fate would have it each bag contained the exact same items. I'm goin...

No regrets here!

This is my second time getting a lucky bag (the first time was 6% DOKIDOKI), and this one has been my favorite so far. I will say that I purchased this during the Black Friday sale, so it was really affordable. Please keep this in mind as you read my review.

What I received (definitely worth it!):
- White hoodie (no zipper) (price tag says equivalent of US$90)
- Black shirt (same style as photo, but an older design on the front - equivalent of US$49)
- Skirt (same style as the photo but it was brown - equivalent of US$80)
- Phone charger (equivalent of US$40)
- Ring (equivalent of US$30)
- Sticker
- Postcard

None of my items are pictured unfort...

Super "Cool" - Get it? Hah.

This cooling cushion works amazingly well. I typically hug one side of the pillow, and when it gets to be slight warm, I flip it around and hug the other side. It is a fantastic pillow for the summer. Now, why is it only 4 stars? Well, since this is a review I have to be perfectly honest. At least mine feels the slightest bit prickly to the touch. Imagine feeling a man's 5 o clock shadow. I don't see any fibres falling out, but I can definitely feel some sticking out through the pillow. It doesn't bother me, though, but might bother others, so just a heads up!

Disclaimer: This is just my personal opinion, so by no means should you not try this because of my review.

What I liked:
- Same texture mochi, very soft and slightly chewy.
- It came with these really cute tiny forks for you to eat with.
- There's 8 pieces in a box so very affordable!
- It had a very subtle strawberry aftertaste.

What I didn't like:
- It was too sweet for me. The first bite tasted pleasant but eating anymore was slightly uncomfortable.
- The strawberry flavor tasted artificial. I wish this tasted semi-sweet, similar to the after taste.

So yeah, due to the sweetness I personally won't repurchase but every...

Perfect size for instant ramen

Permalink

I bought this solely for instant ramen. It's perfect for the size of my favorite ramen from the brand "Mama", because their chicken flavor only has like 20% DV of sodium. If you check the ingredient label for ramen, you might have a heart attack, some ramen have 101% DV of sodium in one packet!! Anyway, the size is perfect because the dry noodles lay down flat in the bowl, so no need to break the dry noodle square in half due to small bowls.

The price is a little steep ($30) for a ceramic bowl (reason I took off a star), but it's worth it. Great quality and keeps the ramen warm much longer than a traditional bowl.

The design is genius.

Whoever designed this is genius. At first, I thought it was a little overpriced for what looked like a large shopping bag that you can typically buy for $5 at a grocery store, but not only is it huge, but it's got this slip for traveling with a suitcase (see stock photo for what I'm talking about). I carried it around for a week during a trip and it was pretty sturdy and durable. Obviously not meant for heavy duty use, but it was perfect. It made it so much easier to walk with a suitcase, because you don't have to worry about it falling off.

Looks exactly like the stock photo!

I got Rilakkuma. I don't know who came up with the sleeping bag concept, but it's genius. I especially love the fact that there is polka-dots on the insides of the sleeping bag. Whoever designed this definitely went for minimalist, but paid a lot of attention to details. Great quality and looks exactly like the photo.

Looks exactly like the picture.

I got Rilakkuma, due to my love for strawberries. He is the perfect size for hugging. Love that the colors match exactly the same colors as the stock photos. What you see is what you get, so yeah, you are definitely getting a high quality plush!

Super soft fur!

Permalink

I've purchased maybe 10+ stuffed animals from this website and Usa's fur is by far the softest fur of them all. I love that it comes with the legs of the animal (you know some hand puppets don't include the legs), so it's perfect for display.

Kitty + Rilakkuma = Win

Permalink

First of all, I love this puppet because it's got legs, so when you display it, no one realizes it's a puppet. Also, it's got a really cute bell. The quality is great and even though he has empty space for your hand he is still suuuuper soft and well cushioned!

Cute!

What I love is that the bunny ears do indeed stand up as in the picture. You know how sometimes in stock pictures they are deceiving by using tape or something? Anyway, Pusheen is exactly like the picture. He is definitely larger than I expected, he can actually be a mini-pillow because of how fluffy he is!

For any domo fan.

If you love domo, you'll love him in this cute pink teddy bear costume. Item came exactly like the picture. Great quality. Also, this item shipped directly from the US so it arrived in a couple of days!

Not as cute as the picture.

I've bought at least 10+ stuffed animals from Otaku Mode and I have to say this one is the most disappointing. There was a loose thread coming out and Hello Kitty had black spots. I'm sure I just got a defective one, but still... The fluff looks like it's low quality too.

What my friends immediately see when they enter my living room!

Permalink

I bought both colors. For my friends who come over to my apartment for the first time I always tell them to respect my strawberries. They give me a weird look, but as soon as they enter my living room, they immediately run to the couch and grab my strawberries and hug them. Sigh, it's hard being popular isn't it, Mr. and Mrs. Strawberry (LOL)? It's just such a good size, not too large, but not small.

Tastes exactly like you'd expect potato chips to taste!

Permalink

They remind me of Lays potato chips, but not as oily or salt. They taste true to the potato chip flavor and are very thin and crispy. If you like Lays potato chips, but a less oily version, then you'll like these.

Fries in chip form!

Permalink

These are amazing for anyone that likes french fries. They taste exactly like fries, but in crunchy chip form. I bought 4 different snacks from Otaku Mode and these are my personal favorite out of all of them.

So cute and the details are amazing!

I bought Kiiroitori because of how round and fluffy he looks. The product looks exactly like the pictures and the quality is superb.
