She suggested she'd like to in an interview with Neo. It was also done by the main guy who books gigs for Japanese groups in the UK. Also Kyary has a pretty good following in London whenever they play her songs at Japan Underground the floor gets pretty busy.

I think a lot of bookers in western countries will be interested in her since she's quite popular for a Japanese act in the west.

If you hear anything about her possibly coming to the UK or London, please let me know! I would run to meet her!

[Moondoggie]

If i get wind of anything solid believe me i'd be on here in seconds.

Anyone else get her new album yet? Had a couple of listens today. All her singles are there and the rest of the songs are mostly okay. The intro is cute as hell

[Blu-Cherri]

I think most Japanese celebrities tend to stick to France and Germany since they have bigger Japanese markets than the uk does. Only a few rock groups tend to cross the channel.

^^ Thanks ^__^

It's got a lot better than it used to be. I think they are realising that they can do business in the UK. And we've had top pop acts like Utada Hikaru come over and have to add an extra night due to demand for tickets. Basically anytime a big act comes over they get a total sellout so it's not really a dead market for them. But France is the major western market for Japan for sure.

^^ I was really upset to miss Utada but if I hear Kyary coming, I will definitely go.

France seem to be the major western market for most Asian countries. They are more accepting of other cultures than the UK and I'm sure they have bigger fanbases there.

Pamyu Pamyu Revolution scored a #2 on the Oricon this week- second only to Mr. Children's record-breaking third week on top. That means that Kyary was #1 out of the new releases C: I've decided not to listen to the whole thing until it arrives at my house, so I can't wait to hear it

[Moondoggie]

Damn you Mr.Children and your insane popularity. And your silly band name!

But in seriousness it's great to see her album doing so well in the charts.

[Moondoggie]

71179 sales for her album so far. Still at #2

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu apologizes to Kanjani8 fans

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu recently apologized to Kanjani8 fans on Twitter.
On the June 15th episode of ‘MUSIC STATION’, Kyary was about to perform and was sitting in the front row. However, her huge ribbon blocked the members of Kanjani8 who were sitting behind her.

Remember: wota of female idols may be merciless in their criticism sometimes, but Johnny's fangirls are usually much much worse.

[ChibiDaiyo]

ah Kyary's ribbon was a bit too big huh
girls are always a bit more harsh, especially to other females.. i really hope that Kanjani8 fans weren't that bad to Kyary and if they were i hope Kyary doesn't let what they say go to her head because damn some fangirls can be vicious

[Moondoggie]

Fangirls can be terrifying and beyond unreasonable. I've heard of then sending death threats and all sorts to anyone who gets in the way of them and their favorite hunky Japanese male.

I'm sure Kyary is used to critics and jelous females so she can likely handle any situation in a professional way like she did here.

[ChibiDaiyo]

here's a bit more on the issue from kyarychan

After the broadcast, a fan of Kanjani8 tweeted Kyary, “Isn’t your ribbon too big? I couldn’t see Kanjani8’s faces. It’s okay to stand out, but please think about the trouble you may be causing other people.” To which Kyary responded, “I’m sorry about that ( ; ; )”.
On that day Kyary wore her Rubik’s Cube outfit, since she knew her fans would enjoy it. Afterwards she tweeted, “From now on, whenever I am on TV programs with other artists performing, this 19-year old will pay attention to what she wears. However, when I think about it the cute outfits are usually Huge! Bulky! Heavy! Let’s come up with a smaller design next time.”

Net users commented:
“As long as you’ll still be yourself!”
“Why are you apologizing? You didn’t do anything wrong!”
“Johnny’s fans can be like this and it’s no good. Your ribbon was super cute”
“Please wear what you want. That’s Kyary-chan"

well it seems they weren't to hard on her

I finally listened to Pamyu Pamyu Revolution while I was in jury duty yesterday and omg it is PHENOMENAL The book that comes with it (I bought Limited Edition) is gorgeous too- the album was definitely worth every penny I spent on it. I especially love the medley in the last track.

Also, I totally lol'd at the Kanjani8 ribbon thing. Clearly, the only solution is to have all the boys wear giant ribbons next time they're on a show with Kyary again. It was really sweet of her to apologize though.

[Moondoggie]

You can listen to music during jury duty? Aren't you supposed to y'know. Be part of the jury? lol

Yeah i loved that little melody too it's like a melody of how far she has come.

[TheFicusWithSuperPowers]

I really love her drawing! It's so cool!
