●The “PONPONPON” music video, released in 23 countries throughout the world

ab： You are busy with activities other than modeling, and you just made your major debut with the song “Moshi Moshi Harajuku”. How did that come about?

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu : I work as a DJ at the TAKENOKO, a club event for minors, and the organizers got Nakata Yasutaka to handle the production. I talked to him a number of times and in no time he started to handle my production. I first met him at the “Harajuku Style Collection”, and at that time he had black hair for some reason, so I didn’t recognize him. He often keeps me up to date with gourmet news. He is very knowledgeable and always has an answer for my questions. He is like a fun big brother to talk to.

ab：The music and lyrics seem to express KPP so well, but Nakata Yasutaka wrote them. How did you feel when you first heard it and what message are you trying to convey?

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu : Really, I think the view of the world fits perfectly….! Some writers have asked me if I myself wrote the lyrics. In the lead track PONPONPON there is a phrase that goes “Uei Uei”. I think Nakata san put that in to make it sound just like me. I want those who listen to the album to feel “cheerful”. Also the lyrics express a girl’s feelings in a cute way and I think they will relate to it. Boys will also get to know a girl’s feelings through these lyrics.

ab: The lead track PONPONPON has been released online to the world, what has the reaction?

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu : The PONPONPON music video has been uploaded to YouTube and it has received many comments. Others have tweeted “Yasutaka and Kyari are great” and “You are sooo cute”. I also get many comments from European countries like France and Finland. Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit tweeted that the music video was cool. The video has already had more than 3 million views – it’s just amazing!
