| 簡介： The World of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
─Asha Thibedeau In a room filled with toys, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu sings and dances, wearing a pair of eyeball-patterned shorts and plastic grapes in her hair. Brains, ducks, and skeleton float around her face. Her childlike voice and the explosion of colorful images leave the viewer fascinated. This is Kyary's first music video “PONPONPON,” which has received over sixty million views on YouTube.
Kyary's talent for making strange things cute or cute things odd has fueled her success as an international pop star and fashion icon. After her breakthrough video, Kyary released other successful singles, albums, and videos, mixing techno-pop music with her unique style. From London to Los Angeles, fans who went to her concert greeted her with enthusiasm and memorized her strange dance moves.
Although Kyary has been dubbed the Queen of kawaii, or “cute” in Japanese, her idea of kawaii has a different edge. She mixes what's normally considered cute with images that are traditionally considered dark. Kyary can dress up as a sweet princess with blood coming out of her nose, or she may paint a cheek-to-cheek mouth with frightening teeth on her face. Regardless of what she has on, Kyary is sure of herself. “I wear my fashion with pride and confidence,” she said. “That's the most important thing.”
卡莉怪妞的異想世界 在一間滿是玩具的房間裡，卡莉怪妞穿著一件眼球圖案的短褲，頭髮上插著塑膠葡萄又唱又跳著。大腦、鴨子和骷髏頭飄浮在她的臉龐周圍。她如孩童般的聲音和繽紛多彩、令人目不暇給的影像讓觀眾深深著迷。這是卡莉怪妞的第一支音樂錄影帶〈PONPONPON〉，在YouTube上已經有超過六千萬的點閱率。
卡莉怪妞讓怪異的事物變可愛，或將可愛的事物變古怪的天分使她成功成為國際流行樂歌星和時尚偶像。在她那支重大突破的音樂錄影帶之後，卡莉發行了其他成功的單曲、專輯和錄影帶，將她獨特的風格與流行電音結合。從倫敦到洛杉磯，去聽她演唱會的粉絲熱情地迎接她，也都能熟記她怪異的舞蹈動作。
雖然卡莉怪妞被封為「卡哇依天后」（「卡哇依」在日語中表示「可愛」），但她對「可愛」的看法極其不同。她把平常被視為可愛的事物與傳統上被視為黑暗的影像結合。卡莉可以打扮得像一個甜美的公主，同時卻有血從她鼻子裡流出來，也可能會在臉上畫著從一邊臉頰到另一邊臉頰的嘴巴露出恐怖的牙齒。不管她身上穿什麼，她都很有自信。她說：「我帶著自豪和自信穿出我的時尚風格，那是最重要的。」
