New Kyary Pamyu Pamyu: “Ninja Ri Ban Ban”
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. The song finds Yasutaka Nakata channeling traditional Japanese sounds and melodies into the song…appropriate given the subject matter focuses on being in love with a ninja. Features what sounds like a shamisen…in a song that also features some video-game-ready synths. It’s another colorful bit of production from Nakata, who sounds like he’s having a bunch of fun working with Kyary. The video, of course, is great too – it features a koi pun, laser arms and Kyary dressed as a ninja. Another winner from one of J-Pop’s best going.
