The Hello Kitty logo is ubiquitous. She is everywhere, on everything, from pencil cases and T-shirts to cellular phones and suitcases. Without a doubt, Hello Kitty is a globally recognized icon, but in a musical revue directed by Amon Miyamoto, she becomes more than just a logo. She is given life. She talks. She moves. She even tap dances.
Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the indoor amusement park, the revue opened March 10 at Sanrio Puroland in the Tokyo suburb of Tama Center.
One of the leading directors of musicals in Japan, Miyamoto, 42, made his debut with "I Got Merman" in 1987. In an interview, Miyamoto said he was delighted when Sanrio Puroland invited him to direct "1 [One] Hello Kitty Dream Revue."
