Shout! Factory Kuu Kuu Harajuku: Music Baby ~ #Review #Giveaway

I remember when Gwen Stefani released her own line of perfume and the bottles were shaped into little dolls called Harajuku Lovers.  Harajuku is a area in Toyko and it is one of the popular places to visit.  Over a decade later, Gwen Stefani now created a kids TV show based on the dolls called Kuu Kuu Harajuku.  It is an animated tv series that follows a 5 girls music band, HJ5.  You will meet Love, Angel, Music, Baby and the leader of the band "G" (Gwen) which really looks like Gwen Stefani.

It is a 2D animation and not your usual CG ones that many cartoons have covered over.  Their theme song is kinda catchy.  You can get the full version sung by Gwen Stefani.  I would have love this show if "G" voice was actually Gwen's voice.  This DVD is OK and my girls did enjoy watching it.

SHOUT! FACTORY ANNOUNCES DVD RELEASE FOR GWEN STEFANI’S ANIMATED SERIES KUU KUU HARAJUKU AS SEEN ON NICKELODEON


THE SUPER KAWAII KUU KUU HARAJUKU: MUSIC, BABY! HEADS TO DVD JUNE 13, 2017


Superstar Gwen Stefani’s animated series KUU KUU HARAJUKU will be coming to DVD in North America from Shout! Factory in collaboration with DHX Media. The first installment, KUU KUU HARAJUKU: MUSIC, BABY!, contains 14 episodes from Season One and will be available on DVD on June 13th 2017. Initial shipments of the DVD contain a code to download the KUU KUU HARAJUKU theme song (while supplies last). KUU KUU HARAJUKU: MUSIC, BABY! is available now for pre-order at Amazon.com and ShoutFactory.com. The 2D-animated series currently airs on Nickelodeon in the U.S. and on Family Channel in Canada. The animated series KUU KUU HARAJUKU follows the fun-filled adventures of the band HJ5 – Love, Angel, Music, Baby and G – through their super kawaii (cute) world of music, fashion and style. The inspiration for this popular animated series came from Grammy® Award-winning musician Stefani who wanted to create an animated series for girls that encourages and celebrates creative self-expression, imagination and individuality. The show’s setting is inspired by the exuberant street fashion and creative youth culture of the Harajuku district but it takes place in a magical fantasy world like nothing you’ve ever seen before.


G is the lead singer of HJ5. She’s a natural leader and an amazing friend. She’s positive and enthusiastic, and fond of saying “Tick tock, time to rock!” Love is a fashionista, a great dancer, and cute as a button. She’s also a genius who often saves the day with her inventions. Angel is super chic, fun and enthusiastic. This fashionista has 325 pairs of shoes, and even her accessories have accessories! Music has a tough girl attitude, and is brutally honest. She brings a hint of edge and attitude to the group, and is fiercely protective of her friends. Baby sees the kawaii in all things: babies, puppies, rattlesnakes… She sees the good in everything, and also knows how to take care of herself. As G says, “Baby can charm the fire out of a dragon.”


Then, there is Rudie Rhodes, HJ5’s well-meaning but semi-incompetent manager. He books the band on all sorts of gigs, and they are happy to play anywhere, but dealing with villains, aliens and general Harajuku weirdness makes it impossible for them to ever finish a concert!


KUU KUU HARAJUKU is co-created and produced by Moody Street Kids (Australia), Vision Animation (Malaysia) and Gwen Stefani and commissioned by Network Ten with investment funding from Film Victoria (Australia) and MyCreative Ventures (Malaysia). DHX Media handles international distribution for the series, and licensed the series to Shout! Factory.
