Meet the Drama Queens of the Microscopic World
Row One: Shock, Grief, and Sweet Relief
Let us look at the top row, starting with Little Ben looking incredibly sad with a pouty face. The Japanese text next to him reads ひどい話だ･･･ (Hidoi hanashi da), which translates to “What a terrible story.” It is the perfect reaction for when a friend shares some bad news. Next, both characters look completely terrified. Big Ben gasps with wide eyes while Little Ben clings to his back under the text マジで！？ (Maji de!?), which means “Seriously!?” or “For real!?” It is the ultimate dramatic reaction for hot gossip.
The third sticker shows Little Ben sitting curled up in a dark corner with gloomy vertical lines overhead. The text is しょんぼり･･･ (Shonbori), which means “Dejected” or “Gloomy.” Use this when you are feeling down or left out. Wrapping up the first row is a sigh of relief. Big Ben pats his chest next to his relieved son under the text ほっ･･･ (Ho), meaning “Sigh.” Use it when you narrowly escape an awkward situation.
Row Two: Defiance, Questions, and Making an Exit
Moving to the bottom row, we start with Little Ben looking up quizzically with his hand on his chin. The Japanese text asks どうして？ (Doushite?), which means “Why?” It is adorable yet slightly demanding. Next, Big Ben shuts down ideas by crossing his red-gloved arms in a giant cross. The text says ムリだ！！ (Muri da!!), translating to “Impossible!!” or “No way!!” Use this to decline unwanted invitations instantly.
If you have some exciting news, the third sticker shows Little Ben leaping high in the air with joy. The text reads やったー！！ (Yattaa!!), which means “Yay!!” or “I did it!!” Finally, the last sticker shows the father and son walking away hand-in-hand, with Big Ben sporting a dramatic red cape. The text says 帰ります (Kaerimasu), meaning “I am going home.” It is the classiest way to announce your departure from a group chat.

TOTO LTD. owns the copyright for these fantastic characters.
