On December 9th, model-turned-singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu held her first live concert in the States at a Los Angeles cafe and gallery, “ROYAL/T“.
The concert gathered over 6,000 fans, forcing authorities to hold the event in a shift system. Kyary expressed, ”I never thought so many people overseas would be this happy. I will do my best to give the appeal of Japan!”
Kyary’s debut song, “PONPONPON“, reached over 10 million views on YouTube, with over half of its viewers from the States. As she sang the song, many fans called out, “Kyary-chan!” and “PONPON girl!“, along with other Japanese phrases. Although Kyary has yet to release “Tsukema Tsukeru“, fans danced and sang along as she performed her new song for the first time.
Before the event, fashion brand “6%DOKIDOKI” held a fashion show featuring local models. Kyary made a surprise appearance in a colorful costume, delighting everyone at the venue.
Kyary will release her first single, “Tsukema Tsukeru”, on January 11th. The song has already been distributed in 73 countries, topping the iTunes Electronic Charts in Finland, and placing 4th in Belgium.
