So, RIZAP, the company behind that cool “chocoZAP” convenience store gym concept, has just dropped something super fun! They’ve launched a digital sticker set called “WARUMENONEKO”×”SAENAI KONEKO” | RIZAP. Yep, it’s a mouthful, but it basically means they’ve teamed up with Studio UG, the creators of the popular “Naughty Cat” (that’s Warumono Neko!) and “Gloomy Kitten” (Saenai Koneko!). Imagine these iconic characters popping up in your chats. RIZAP is the one publishing these, making them available for all of us to enjoy. It’s a pretty neat way to bring a bit of character charm into the digital world, especially when it’s tied to their chocoZAP brand. Smart move, RIZAP!
Get Ready to Chat with These Quirky Kitties!
Okay, let’s talk about these stickers because they are just adorable and full of personality. This “WARUMENONEKO”×”SAENAI KONEKO” | RIZAP collection is a whole mood, or rather, a whole bunch of moods, captured by our two feline stars: the somewhat grumpy-looking grey “Naughty Cat” and the often-emotional little white “Gloomy Kitten.”
A Peek at the Sticker Shenanigans
The set is packed with sixteen expressive images, laid out neatly in four rows of four. It’s like a little comic strip of daily cat life!
In the first row, you’ve got Naughty Cat looking all tough and flexing a bicep – maybe he’s been hitting the chocoZAP gym? Then there’s a sweet moment with Gloomy Kitten gazing up at Naughty Cat with little pink hearts floating around. So cute! Gloomy Kitten also gets a solo spot, beaming with a big “OK” sign, radiating some unexpected positivity. And, true to form, Naughty Cat is seen looking a bit miffed while Gloomy Kitten stands by, perhaps wondering what’s up.
The second row kicks off with Naughty Cat giving a polite bow, complete with the Japanese text “ございます” (Gozaimasu), which is part of a formal greeting. Then, Gloomy Kitten seems to be exclaiming something with a wide-open mouth and outstretched paws. We also see Naughty Cat looking down, almost consolingly, as Gloomy Kitten nods repeatedly, accompanied by “うんうん” (Un un) – like a little “uh-huh, uh-huh.” And, of course, a classic unimpressed stare from Naughty Cat rounds off this row.
Moving to the third row, Naughty Cat looks startled as Gloomy Kitten waves a cheerful “おはよう” (Ohayou) – good morning! Next, they’re both snuggled up under blankets for “おやすみ” (Oyasumi), which means good night. It’s a very cozy scene. Then, Naughty Cat is gently patting Gloomy Kitten’s head with the supportive phrase “おつかれ様です” (Otsukaresama desu) – a way to say “good job” or “thanks for your hard work.” Gloomy Kitten also has a moment, looking a bit hesitant and saying “ちょっとあの…” (Chotto ano…), which is like an “um, excuse me…”
The final row really brings in the RIZAP connection! Naughty Cat is seriously working out on a leg press machine, exclaiming “やってやる!!” (Yatte yaru!!) – “I’ll do it!!” That’s the spirit! Poor Gloomy Kitten is then seen shedding some big tears, looking quite upset. But the mood shifts again with Gloomy Kitten playfully sticking its tongue out with a “べぇーっ” (Beeeh!) sound effect. And to finish, Naughty Cat is captured looking a bit downcast or tired. What a rollercoaster of emotions!
The Brains and Brands Behind the Stickers
So, who are the key players making these delightful digital doodads happen? It’s a cool partnership, and understanding who’s who adds another layer to appreciating these stickers.
RIZAP: More Than Just a Gym
You’ve got RIZAP steering the ship on this sticker release. They’re primarily known for their fitness and health services, and “chocoZAP” is their innovative take on making gyms super accessible – like, convenience store accessible! By publishing these “WARUMENONEKO”×”SAENAI KONEKO” | RIZAP stickers, they’re not just giving us cute images; they’re cleverly marketing chocoZAP. See Naughty Cat on that leg press? That’s no accident! It’s a fun, subtle way to get their brand message out there into everyday conversations. It’s all about connecting with people in a lighthearted way, and who doesn’t love a good sticker?
Studio UG – NishimuraYuji: The Character Masters
Then there’s the creative genius behind “Naughty Cat” and “Gloomy Kitten”: Studio UG, with Nishimura Yuji likely being the artist or the main creative force. These characters are described as “popular,” which means they already have a fanbase. Studio UG brings the artistic talent and the established appeal of these feline personalities to the table. Their distinct style – simple, expressive, and instantly recognizable – is what makes these stickers so charming. For them, collaborating with RIZAP means their characters get even wider exposure, potentially reaching new fans through the chocoZAP audience.
A Match Made in Digital Heaven: The Copyright Lowdown
When you see “RIZAP | studio UG – NishimuraYuji” listed, that’s telling you about the copyright ownership. It’s a joint copyright, which makes perfect sense for a collaboration like this. RIZAP holds rights because they’re publishing the stickers and it’s tied to their chocoZAP brand. Studio UG and Nishimura Yuji hold rights because, well, they created the characters! It’s their artistic intellectual property. This shared ownership ensures that both parties have their contributions recognized and protected. It’s a common practice when two entities bring their unique assets together for a new product. This way, both RIZAP’s brand association and Studio UG’s character creation are equally valued in this fun sticker venture. It’s a win-win, giving us fans something new to enjoy while both collaborators benefit!
