I have a love of music and when I’m looking for something to really bring me up and make me smile I slide on some Kpop and Jpop for it’s feel good sound.
While knocking around SL looking for petite friendly locations my SO and I found this fun club and hangout sim. Great dice games (Including Greedy) with some of the most beautiful looks I’ve seen yet surround Club Hallyu. Live Djs spinning Kpop and Jpop 7 days a week from around 2 pm -10 pm SLT Over to the side i found this cute stage still under construction, the builder let me know that they hoped to have Idol style singer performance competitions soon! Not only is this sim worth visiting on it’s on merits but also for an awesome free gift! +DIVERGE+ in the mall surrounding the club has some adorable clothes and footwear including the sweet blue sneakers above. Just join the group and click the board to receive this great shoe and stay tuned this group seems new but with a start like this expect great things!
I LOVE Vocaloids! My favorite by far is Kagamine Rin. I was so excited to slowly build up my cosplay look for homaging her. The outfit was not a free gift but the hair and bunny band that definitively make the look work were. Ala Mode Fantastic Mall has always been a great one to walk around. My Rin Golden hair is a happy Lucky Board find in the center area but don’t stop looking there. The 3 Lucky Boards contain a variety of hairs including one that would make your “Black Rock Shooter” avi well… Rock! They also feature boots and your first anime style head with blinking eyes. Hidden elsewhere in the mall is a free mini mesh maid that will have to be featured here soon, and if you join the group for free there is a little purple present out in the open containing 4 sweet skins.
The Sweet Bow completing my Rin is a group gift from Monso, formerly My Sweetest Goodbye. This store is a dangerous one for me and has been since it was My Sweetest Goodbye… I walk in with money and walk out with the store lol. Her prices are very reasonable for the amazing quality she delivers and this mesh bunny band gift in black and in white is no different. You don’t need to be Rin to pull off this sweet bow but it makes my day to see it on top of her head.
My other Vocaloid for many will need no introduction, she is by far the most recognizable Vocaloid, Hatsume Miku. Her outfit is a past hunt gift from Sassy! and no longer available. The Hair and Nails that completed her look for me were found at LaLaMoon. I was on the Taste the Rainbow hunt and this store wasn’t on the list BUT i saw a girl wearing this hair and decided to check the store out to see what other great things they had. I landed and immediately found 2 gift hairs, boots and a complete set of glove nails all for free! I prefer the glove nails to prim ones that can float away and off the body. To the right of this treasure trove i found the lucky boards with the Candy Roid hair i had admired for it’s ability to help me cosplay Miku in both Green and Blue (both come with pigtail ornaments to enhance this effect) and 2 other lucky boards stuffed full of cute hair!
Inset to the right isn’t a Vocaloid but an homage to the JPop Princess Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, her video PonPonPon and her Harajuku Doll look! The Edelweiss Lucky Chairs are not all group join only but the one for this sweet outfit is. The group is free, simply join and camp and you’ll take home a cute “eyepopping” Harajuku dress fit for the Princess of JPop. There are many more free gifts hiding in the store, the underwear you can’t see under Miku’s costume is a striped set from the lucky chairs here, the shoes worn with the PonPonPon look are free as well in the maid section, and a small pack of nicely detailed ribbed knee high socks are also a special free prize to take home. Don’t stop there though this store features low price high quality and looks you won’t find anywhere else in SL. The Lime Twist Devotion skin paired with the apple coloured hair from Truth are a signature look of the model used for this photo but both free gifts add a special touch to this look!
I’ve brought away from these locations a very special lesson… Look around! Everywhere you go and you may just find new favorite places and amazing free gifts even when you weren’t looking for them!
