二十歳の誕生日を控えるきゃりーぱみゅぱみゅが、成人式を祝うべく、新曲“ふりそでーしょん”のビデオを公開しました!ビデオは上にあります。まるでプロデューサーの中田ヤスタカが初期Capsule時代に戻ったかのような曲。S.F. Sound Furnitureかそれ以前の作品のよう。きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅが酔っぱらったフリをするのが観たいなら、ビデオは楽しんでもらえるはず(観たいでしょ?)。ひょっとしたら追加でもっと書くかも。成人式を迎える皆様!本当におめでとうございます! *UPDATE: Nope, she doesn’t, that would be the 29th actually. Next week is just coming-of-age day here in Japan. D’oh!
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has a new single out in October, called “Fashion Monster,” but the full song and video came out late tonight (at a good time for Western audiences HMMMMMMMMM). The clip, above, merges The Adam’s Family with Visual Kei…and a bunch of other great imagery one expects from Kyary with each new video.

Perfume runs with that idea in a nice touch of self awareness.

The clip’s assortment of spinning shapes matches the track’s circular nature and definitely a great late night viewing. The video for “A Merry Go Round In…
Note: This video will probably be taken down really quickly. The video for “Kira Kira Killer” debuted on Space Shower TV, but the folks at Warner Bros. Japan have yet to upload a version of it to YouTube…so here is an unofficial one! The concept here – Kyary dies, and goes to the afterlife (I…
Towa Tei’s “The Burning Plain” actually sorta ends up being about…The Burning Plain. “You’ve just set up the DVD/I’ve waited to see it/A movie called The Burning Plain,” pretty directly referencing the 2008 Charlize Theron vehicle, one that didn’t score too highly with Rotten Tomatoes.

Fresh off a European tour and preparing for two big shows in America, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has released the video for her new single “Ninja Ri Ban Ban,” above.
