That's some interesting choices...
I know a guy who is somewhat obsessed with Hello Kitty, he has Hello Kitty glasses, lunchbox, and some other stuff.
I just wanna know how on earth that's a cat.

It certainly Is hilarious but at the same time, a very different approach that may prove to be quite effective.
Hats off to Pikachu. Always been my favorite since the late 90s.

The love for Pikachu is real! I think it's pretty amusing, and it brings attention to the city in a new way. Why not?

Those were my exact thoughts when I first came across hello kitty. Can't say I'm taken with it myself. But it's huge!
If I put on my necomimis - Can I be the SL mascot?

Let's keep the love for Pikachu on the quiet- namely from your other half.
On a serious note, I definitely agree with the kind of attention It brings. I think It'll work quite well.
