Listen to Hello Kitty Spotify 50th Anniversary Music Playlist

Sanrio has uploaded a playlist for the 50th anniversary and birthday of Hello Kitty. It’s available on Spotify and in total, there are 41 songs in the playlist, amounting to 2 hours and 15 minutes.

According to the Sanrio Tweet, these are all familiar songs from the Hello Kitty franchise. Songs include MAISONdes’s “Popcorn!!”, JO1’s “Infinity”, One Direction’s “Live While We’re Young”, and Dua Lipa’s “Houdini”. Some of these songs are likely there because the artists are fans of the mascot, or made a reference to her at one point.

In October 2024, Dua Lipa uploaded a picture of herself wearing a Hello Kitty bra. Again in October 2024, JO1 attended the Hello Kitty 50th anniversary part. During that time, Takumi Kawanshi and Junki Kono mentioned they’d love to collaborate with Hello Kitty some day. One Direction collaborated with Hello Kitty in 2013.

Since November 2023, Sanrio has been releasing merchandise for the 50th anniversary of Hello Kitty. Companies like Lotte, Casio, Clinique, and CASETiFY also collaborated with Sanrio to release commemorative merchandise featuring the famous mascot. There is also an event ongoing in Hello Kitty Island Adventure focusing on her birthday. This event will last until November 15, 2024.

You can listen to the Hello Kitty 50th anniversary playlist on Spotify, and it’ll be available for the foreseeable future.
