In addition, kaomoji are so popular because you don’t have to read them sideways. Therefore, unlike Western emoticons where most attention is paid to mouth, in Japanese emoticons the most important part are eyes. Japanese believe that eyes are the mirror of a human soul. Therefore, in Japan emoticons are popular as nowhere in the world. Japanese are very emotional and creative nation.
