A Giant Site Update with Almost 1,000 New Emoticons!

I’ve just finished another giant site update the main feature of which is almost 1,000 new kaomoji emoticons added across almost every category on this site.  That officially brings the total number of Japanese emoticons on this site to more than 4,000! 4,011 to be exact.Here are some of my favourite ones from the new update:

I’ve now added all the emoticon suggestions you guys have sent me.  If you sent me something in the last couple of months then it’s now on the site.Another thing I did was clean up a bunch of the pages.  For example, some of the categories like Table Flipping, Running and Words have emoticons that are bit larger than the ones in other categories.  Since the font size on this new site is a bit bigger than it was before I’ve put these pages in two column tables instead of three column ones so the pages are a lot less cluttered and easy to read.Also, since I’ve now acquired a bunch of nose bleed kaomojis I added their own Nose Bleed Emoticons page.  The site’s come a long way since I was first asked to find someone a nose bleed emoticon over Twitter and had never seen any at the time.This update was brought to you by a Japanese musical group called Moumoon, specifically the albums No Night Land, LOVE Before We DIE and ICE CANDY which for some reason I had no idea were out (despite following them on Twitter and sometimes getting emoticons from them).Because if you’re going to spend a ton of time updating a website about Japanese emoticons you have to listen to J-Pop while you’re working.  I highly recommend you check out Moumoon though, they’re great.I still have many thousands of kaomojis to sort through so look forward to more updates, some app news and some other cool stuff in the future!Finally, a huge thanks to everyone’s who’s liked us on Facebook as we’ve now hit over 10,000 likes!
