Brand Tone

edgy, niche, and expressive

Brand Values

• •Unique Self-Expression
• •Niche Aesthetics
• •Quality in Design and Product (aspired)
• •Community Connection (implied)

Best Practices

• •Develop a Style Guide: Create a document outlining specific vocabulary (e.g., "creepy cute," "yami kawaii," "waru"), preferred sentence structures (e.g., short and punchy, or more descriptive and evocative), and a "do-not-use" list of words or phrases that don't align with the brand.
• •Know Your Niche: Deeply understand the nuances of the subcultures the brand caters to (Pastel Goth, Menhera, Yami Kawaii). Use terminology and references authentically that resonate with this audience.
• •Embrace the "Waru": Consistently weave in the "bad but cute" (the implied meaning of "Kawaii Waru") juxtaposition in product descriptions, social media captions, and even customer interactions where appropriate. The name itself, "Kawaii Waru Desu" (かわいい悪いです), translates to "It's cute and bad" or "Being bad is cute," offering a strong foundation for the tone.
• •Visual-Verbal Harmony: Ensure the copy complements the visual aesthetic of the products. If the designs are dark and edgy with a cute twist, the language should reflect that same duality.
• •Consistent Voice Across All Channels: Whether it's the website, product descriptions, email newsletters, or social media posts, the tone should be recognizable and consistent, reinforcing the brand's unique identity. This includes how the brand responds to customer reviews and queries.

Social Perception

Positive (among target audience), Mixed (broader perception/operational concerns)
