ラッキー Big リトル (Lucky Big Little) Kit Kats
It comes in three different coloured packets, but the contents is the same. On the front of each packet it says:
ラッキーピンクを探そう！！ (Let’s look for the lucky pink!!)
ぜんぶ白だと逆にラッキー！？ (On the contrary, all white is lucky too?!) – I think!
On the back of the packet there is a little message to explain the contents of the pack and how it is lucky:
It says:
ハッピーなホワイトで白星気分！ (Happy white is white star feeling!)
ラッキーなピンクでサクラ満開気分！ (Lucky pink is cherry blossom full bloom feeling!)
Apologies if these translations leave a little to be desired!! 😉
As it turns out, each pack included pink ones anyway…
According to my dictionary, 白星 is the victory mark in sumo. The Japanese wikipedia entry confirms this: 「相撲では勝利（勝ち星）の意。」 http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%99%BD%E6%98%9F
