Kyary's album pretty much sucks, there's no doubt about it, it's nowhere near as good as Perfume either, there's no depth (that's not to say that recent Perfume or Nakata is any better- he is in a current dry spell it seems). But it is (undeniably) damn catchy and it is damn colorful. Still, he should now review more Jpop to further explain why he thinks Kyary is worthy of mentioning above any other Jpop/idol artist. This is something that would interest me.

I don't get why Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is what has emmerged in the post-Gangnam world we live. Like why not literally every other jpop act that sounds like that? I guess its the blog thing.
mainstream-indie, y u no Oomori Seiko?

That "Suki Suki Daisuki" a couple pages back is good for one watch, but I think that's enough.
I heard one Kyary Pamyu Pamyu that I liked. Sounded Okinawan to me. Well here:

I haven't listened to Kyary since Pon Pon Pon, but I feel like at least back then she was being kind of ironic, with so much nonsense and cheery stuff that it was almost to the point of being grotesque. It's possible it wasn't on purpose, but it felt that way to me. But I'd imagine that if that was in fact her main 'statement' to be made, she'd quickly end up becoming exactly what she was trying to parody.
Again though, not a Kyary expert at all! Anyway I love Strawberry Switchblade and I wish I knew why this song was only released on the Japanese version of the CD!

Pretty much... I'll leave it to the master (Togawa) to sing it.

No opinion about Kyaru Pom Pom thing, but checked it out due to the hype. It's more hypnotic than anything.

@DG
Who do you think the typical Togawa Jun fan is? I figured it would be music nerds, but I was surprised that she has many, many teenage girl fans, people who buy into the "Kawaii-Guro" subculture thing. However, I think seeing Togawa as something that is both cute and grotesque is severely underselling her. There is much more depth beyond that. In the same way, Kyary is grotesquely cute, but she lacks such depth. I find Perfume to be far more subversive. |

Hmm I dunno, but from the concert videos of latest, those teen girls are now in their 40s. Togawa has far too many facets to her personality to really say what her real fanbase would be. All ill say is that there should be more fans, she has one of the most solid discographys that I've ever come across- that spans three decades.
Also, late response but @Jihad: Trans Europe Express is an essential for sure. Metal on Metal is essential party anthem.

So I finally got my CD (and subtitled DVD!!!) set of the new version of the Coming Ones. Not only has muddiness of the digital version disappeared, the 'bonus track' that it comes with is also the BEST FUCKING SONG ON HERE. The hell, why is it a BONUS TRACK??? Ahhh that heart melting style that only Dingding can bring... can never get tired of it.
