Is it summer yet? Hahaha it certainly feels like it here in Florida – the weather is really heating up, and I’ve exchanged long pants and jackets for shorts and tank tops!
That makes it a perfect day to introduce Fansclub Aloha Rilakkuma!

Aloha family photo featuring the Aloha Rilakkuma Caravan plushie and Lawson playset!
Doesn’t he look happy with all of his Aloha Rilakkuma family? So relaxed!
I do love this series a lot because it shows Rilakkuma doing so many activities: grocery shopping, hula dancing, surfing, and even sun tanning!
This adorable hula-dancing Rilakkuma was released by Fansclub in April 2013, during the height of the Aloha Rilakkuma release! He really gets me in the mood for sunny skies and warm weather :)
Thank you so much again and again to Trinie, for sharing this beautiful and relaxing Aloha Rilakkuma with me – he really fits in so well with the all of the other Aloha bears! :D
In other news, there are a few new things in the Rilakkuma world, like the Stripes Stripes Everyday Series Caravan plushie!

Penguin Rilakkuma and Polar Bear Korilakkuma will be at the Caravan holding Penguin Kiiroitori and a striped bear of their own! (I don’t think I’ve seen Korilakkuma wearing shorts before!)
How cute, a Korilakkuma caravan plushie! So nice to see the other members of the Rilakkuma crew getting some attention!
Simon, our resident Rilakkuma artist, really loves the little plush striped bear that appears in this series – I think he wants one just like the one featured in the caravan (bottom left corner), but I don’t think they’re for sale haha. I do like those Rilakkuma proportions for a maybe Craftholic-inspired bear hehehe.
And I’m also happy to share that another iteration of the Enherb x Rilakkuma collaboration was just released for this spring!
I love this collaboration! The strawberry rose honey looks really yummy, and I always love the illustrations that are paired with the teas :)
That’s all for now – off to study antibiotics! I hope everyone is enjoying the season!
