A recent trip to Youtube suggests that someone has actually taken what I try to explain often here, and turned it into a Youtube tutorial, called How To Be Kawaii. If you’ve just caught on, “kawaii” (ka-why-ee) is basically the Japanese word for cute. My first reaction in watching this is, can you really teach a person how to be cute?

Cute can sometimes be subjective. For example, the video states that it’s necessary to dress with a lot of layers. Personally, if you stick more than one clothing layer on me, I’ll most likely be feeling and looking like a beached whale. I truly believe that what works for some people, won’t always work for others. Essentially, I think we’re all cute in our own way. I may not be cho kawaii when I dress up in layers, but I’ve been told my sneezes are the cutest thing ever.

Watch the video and let me know if this an accurate guide on how to be kawaii:

What’s your definition of kawaii?
