Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

**Kiriko Takemura** (竹村 桐子; \* January 29, 1993 in Tokyo), also known as **Kyary Pamyu Pamyu** (きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ), is a singer from Japan. She represented her country in the Current Music Competition once in June 2018.

## Biography

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's career began at age sixteen in 2009, but prior to that she was the subject of a strict upbringing and some discouragement from her parents regarding her kawaii Harajuju fashion choices and image. With that said, her parents had placed her in a dancing class. She began as a lifestyle and fashion blogger, became a model for magazines like Kera! and Zipper and branched out into her own cosmetics line, singing and hosting programs. She got a boost when she met Yasutaka Nakata of the band Capsule who is known for DJing and producing the band Perfume. He encouraged 'Carrie' to work on her music. She released her first single, PonPonPon, in 2011, which came off her debut mini-album Moshi Moshi Harajuku. The video for the song was quick to popularity and garnered Kyary fans in places like Canada, Belgium and others. She began performing overseas and was also hired to represent Japan at exhibitions in Asia. The singer was the subject of an exhibition of her work and clothes in Japan in 2013 and also gained US distribution through a deal with Sire Records. She, more than anyone, represents the Harajuku Girl culture and image and has won several image, style and music awards.
