 Fortune Cat coin translations?
So I was thinking of getting the fortune cat tattooed on me, but I wasn't sure if I should change the fortune on the coin since I have no idea what it means. I was thinking of replacing it w/ the RXH logo instead. So basically my question is partially does anyone know what the fortunes say?/ can you read Japanese?/ should I change the writing on the coin?  * I know there's a few different ones, but the 2 I have have this symbol.

(真頭 玩具) "To"(頭) (pronounced like your big "toe") is -obviously- Japanese for "head" "Gangu" (玩具)is the old Japanese word for toy. Its the same character in the official Real x Head logo. On an aside the character on the Fig-lab cat which was sold at the after school session is "呑" which means to drink, specifically to drink alcohol, and its pronounced "Don" (with a long O)

 Re: Fortune Cat coin translations?
What is the RxH logo? The block print with English text?
I can't see that looking good on the coin, somehow...

 Re: Fortune Cat coin translations?
thanks for all the info I didn't realize the symbol on the cat I posted was the same as the RXH logo. maybe I'll stick with that, at least now I know what it means.

 Re: Fortune Cat coin translations?
That's really a sweet tattoo Alex. Love the color choices and the cloud outline.

 Re: Fortune Cat coin translations?
that's awesome! I'm not sure which color I'm gonna get. Gonna talk to my tattoo artist in a few weeks when I get my half sleeve finished.

 Re: Fortune Cat coin translations?
Doesn't one of the Secret Base logos have the same design too? I wonder what the influence really is. Too inspire both SB and RH.

 Re: Fortune Cat coin translations?
Haha, wow. Who would have thought that there were so many two lined, stacked bubble letter logos that looked so similar? There has to be more out there too.
