Tutu Xuanfeng rises strongly
From the latest list of LINE’s top ten best-selling stickers in 2017, we can find that animal-based stickers are still the favorite among Taiwanese users! The extremely popular “Lanlan” white cat who started his career in the stinky style won the championship for the second time. The animal army “Duka Channel” written by the dog-loving cat-loving creator Ke Bulu won the runner-up. “Undead Rabbit” ranked third for the first time in the list, and the fourth-placed Havoc Rabbit, and the seventh-placed soft and cute ㄇㄚˊ吉Rabbit (created by YUKIJI), leading the strong rise of rabbits! The fifth place went to “Cat’s Claw” created by Mr. Hall of Fame Gardener, and the other three places were won by the unknown blue alien organism Cat Cat Bug Kabo, while Sonny’s Sweet House and Jess, and the difficult Banana Brother/Eggplant Brother won the eighth and ninth place respectively. Among the new faces on this year’s list, in addition to the Undead Rabbit, who entered the list for the first time, “Fa Dou Pi Gu” drawn by the creator Yishen also entered the list for the first time. The exquisite and unique character appearance he drew was favored by users, making it into the top ten.
In addition to announcing the 2017 annual list, the LINE sticker team announced the birth of a dual Hall of Fame. Following Mochi Daddy and Mr. Gardener, Taiwanese creator Yara’s cat and insect Kapo and Qian Qian Creative’s Haoxiangtu were jointly honored in the LINE Original Market Hall of Fame, adding brilliance to the lineup of Taiwan’s Hall of Fame. Neither of the two new Hall of Famers were born in majors. Yala University majored in asset management, while Qianqian majored in catering. They both relied on self-taught drawing skills, and they have made new life developments through stickers.
Stickers move towards the era of differentiation
The LINE sticker team has observed that stickers have evolved from cute bears and big rabbits to ugly ones that have attracted attention. In 2016, spicy conversational styles became popular. In 2017, as communication needs became more and more diverse, in addition to stickers used between couples and friends, In addition, there have been many honorific stickers suitable for workplace use. In the second half of the year, the world-weary trend started again. User preferences have been changing with the pulse of fashion trends and social atmosphere. The creation of stickers has become more and more diversified, even from different aspects such as career or communication situations, and has become more differentiated. Moreover, because users are willing to pay for stickers and support Taiwanese creators, creators can continue to draw more interesting works, and the sticker economy has a virtuous cycle of rolling development. In 2017, the average sales of the top ten LINE stickers (including official stickers and original market) was approximately 50 million yuan, and the top five sales reached 74.4 million yuan!
