Hello Kitty has invaded Italy, under the guise of 'Hello Kitty the Show.' If you thought there couldn't be any more Hello Kitty cross-branding you were wrong, dead wrong.
'Hello Kitty the Show' is currently only playing in Italy. The show tells the story of three girls who are seeking a way to express themselves through the meeting of fantasy characters. It doesn't really make sense to me either, but I know some people are probably going bananas reading this. If you love Hello Kitty I suggest you book a flight to Italy right away.
