Lotte Uru Up Collagen

Lotte sells a collagen supplement meant for skin care. Products in this category each have a different combination of ingredients which promise the best results. Lotte lists the following as active additives:
1) collagen 5,000 mg
2) vitamin C 100 mg
3) hyaluronic acid 20 mg
4) placenta extract 2 mg
5) lotus embryo extract 2 mg
6) pearl barley extract 1 mg
per 6.7 g serving (powdered form).

The first 3 are fairly commonly seen in this category, the latter three appear to have been plucked from Chinese medicine.

The name of the product comes from the Japanese word associated with healthy skin, but often simply translated as moist - uruoi. ロッテ うるアップコラーゲン ヒアルロン酸 プラセンタエキス ハス胚芽エキス ハトムギエキス

KitKat Kohaku Pack

The red-white combination is traditionally associated with good fortune in Japan and can be frequently seen in products, at shrines and even the national flag. Nestle mixes the traditional red KitKat packages with white chocolate packages in one bag to achieve the same effect and sells it as a good luck for students taking their entrance exams. They have also added a popular young singer, Miwa, on the label.
