Kyary Pamyu Pamyu: Tsukema Tsukeru

Kyary makes pop music that feels like permission to want things without overthinking them. Everything’s oversaturated, clearly artificial, whatever appeals to her stacked together. No apology, no self-consciousness about it. ’Tsukema Tsukeru’ is exactly that—color and sound and movement built as high as they’ll go. There’s a real confidence in that kind of maximalism.
