My Melody is a Sanrio character created in 1975, a sweet white rabbit who wears a pink or red hood, and she stars in the anime Onegai My Melody which aired in Japan from 2005. Short clips of her voice circulated through anime fan edits and soundboards, where tiny expressive sounds are saved as quick reactions. This yan clip is used much like Tuturu and other brief anime vocalisations on social video, kept because a half second of cute delivery can caption a feeling faster than dialogue or on screen text alone.
