Cute Teddy Bear with Kiiyan’s Voice

Kiiyan joins Konishi Katsuyuki and Takemoto Eiji in giving voice to a trio of palm-sized teddy bears: Honey Bears. Kiiyan’s the serious-looking blue bear, named Chris (Christian); he apparently has a mischievous side, though.

The project is in conjunction with Universal Music Japan, and the bears will come with pre-recorded songs, spoken words and background music. The audio can also be accessed by devices with a QR code reader.

The bears are currently on sale on the Universal Music site individually (5,500 yen/each, tax included) or as a set (16,500, tax included). Pre-orders will be accepted until 8/27/2023 and the bears will be delivered in late September. There will be no sales after the deadline.

Three lucky purchasers will also win Kiiyan’s autograph. See Universal Music’s store site for details.
