Have the PCs follow different rules than the rest of the world. IE bubble of Happylight around players when rest of the world is grimdark. Horrible things happen everywhere, except around the players where it's goofy fun.

Dash of Huxley here, smidgen of Japanese kawaii-ism there

that sounds hilarious

Go for something grimbright. Like a little girl found a genie lamp and basically wished the world into being candyland with her as queen, but she's effectively a tyrant who doesn't understand politics or lawmaking because she's like 7.

Have lots of cutesy bubbly characters and NPCs, maybe have some peppy music in the background, and generally build a cutesy atmosphere.

As time goes on the players start to face more and more government walls, and in things that should be free. Talking to certain other citizens, going to certain areas.

Missed the part where you said futuristic. In that case, I would do something similar, but centered around pop idols. Popularity is currency, effectively, and the best way to be popular is to be cute

Everything kawaii-uguu does horrible shit
