video description

Kirakira Basket feature video, 1 minute 12 seconds, no sound. Each scene shows a phone screen on a pastel striped background with a gingham picnic blanket, washi tape in the corners and a few stickers around the phone. A two-line caption at the top names the feature. Soft circles show where a finger taps.

0:00. Title card on a mint background: “Kirakira Basket”, with the tagline “Your grocery list, as a sticker book”. Below it sits a sticker book strip dated Sat 3 Oct, with stickers of a bee, a basket of strawberries and a bottle of lemonade. A phone rises into view.

0:04. Caption: “Write your list any old way.” The list “Saturday shop” is empty and reads “A brand-new sticker sheet!” The person taps “Start my list” and types “bananas, avocados, 2 bagels, milk, eggs, maple syrup”. An enlarged card shows the typing as it happens. After sending, a sheet slides up: “All sorted. Checked your list, sorted into 4 aisles. 6 of 6 kept.” The items are grouped under Produce, Bakery and more.

0:12. Caption: “Your list, sorted aisle by aisle.” They tap “Stick all 6 on my list.” The sheet slides away and the list shows four aisles: Produce, Bakery, Breakfast, and Dairy and eggs. Each has a small basket and a sticker for every item. A note says “Added 6 items to Saturday shop.”

0:17. Caption: “Turn a recipe into a shopping list.” They type “pancakes for 12”, shown enlarged. Steps tick off one by one: “Searched the web: fluffy pancakes recipe for 12”, “Compared 3 recipes, makes 12”, “Checked your pantry, left out 2”, “Checked your list, sorted into 4 aisles”. A recipe card titled “Fluffy pancakes” appears.

0:26. Caption: “Recipes leave out what’s in your pantry.” The card scrolls through the ingredients:

Blueberries: optional, skipped.

All-purpose flour: kept.

White sugar: in your pantry.

Baking powder: kept.

Salt: in your pantry.

Vanilla extract: optional, skipped.

Maple syrup: already on your list.

A yellow highlighter marks the two pantry rows. They tap “Stick all 3 on my list”, and a Baking aisle joins the list.

0:33. Caption: “Check it off and its sticker hops in.” Later in the trip, the counter reads 12 of 24. In the Baking aisle, the flour is already stamped “GOT IT!” They check off Baking powder. A red “GOT IT!” stamp lands on it, its sticker hops into the aisle’s bowl-shaped basket, and a copy appears in the sticker book at the top. The aisle folds shut and a card says “NEXT: Breakfast.”

0:40. Caption: “Glow-in-the-dark night theme.” The same list appears in dark navy with glowing pastel colours. They check off maple syrup and coffee beans, the Breakfast aisle folds, and a card says “NEXT: Dairy and eggs.”

0:47. Caption: “Every finished list gets a celebration.” In the last aisle, Household, they check off the final item, toothpaste. A heart opens from the checkbox and fills the screen with pastel rays. On screen:

“List complete!”, “Saturday shop” and 24 of 24, with a row of the trip’s eight baskets.

A ribbon carries the stickers into a picnic hamper on a pink gingham blanket.

A stamp card gets a round “PER-FECT!” stamp.

A banner reads “24 stickers, 41 min”.

A gold capsule pops open, and a card rises showing a banana sticker and “bonus sticker!”

1:03. Caption: “Collect 200+ stickers in your album.” The Sticker album shows “136 of 216 collected, 3 holo”, with tabs for Groceries, Picnic and Seasonal. It scrolls through rows of fruit stickers to “Vegetables and herbs”.

1:08. The phone drops away and the title card returns: “Kirakira Basket. Your grocery list, as a sticker book.”
