Invader Invader

**Invader Invader** is a song by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, released in 2013 in its own single, then turning up in her second studio album, Nanda Collection.

## Background and Release

*Invader Invader* was somewhat of an experimental track, straying far from Kyary's usual J-Pop songs by adding a catchy, chiptune melody and a hook heavily inspired by dubstep. It also mixes in an '80s-tinged electropop chorus.'

*Invader Invader* was also used a commercial for G.U., a Japanese fashion retailer, which Kyary has collaborated with since the release of Fashion Monster in October 2012.
