Ask yourself this: Is your iPhone kawaii? Yes? Okay, now ask yourself this: Is it kawaii enough?
For those that aren’t aware, the rough translation of “kawaii” is “cute” – particularly cute items of Japanese origin – and kawaii, as a trend, is sweeping the nation. Around the country, people yearn for customization. We purchase skins and cases for our phones, and some of us jailbreak them to get certain icons to look different.
CocoPPa is essentially a social download platform that allows users to upload their super kawaii creations for others to download and comment on. It’s set up into different categories: Icons, Wallpapers, and Stamps. Each of those sections has individual subsections titled “New” and “Popular”, which showcase both new and popular content.The new CocoPPa app from SPiRE Inc. aims to allow for such customization, but it also aims at a certain demographic…notably those who enjoy cute Japanese culture.
If you love the color pink, or maybe you love Hello Kitty, or perhaps you enjoy cute things in general, CocoPPa will definitely help you kawaii-ify your iPhone. For everyone else? You’re better off jailbreaking.
