Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's first World Tour found it's way to the heart of Manhattan and all the Little Monsters showed up...wait. That's Lady Gaga's fans. Ok. Well, Kyary DOES have a song called "Fashion Monster" where everyone puts their "paws" up...All of KYARY's Little Monsters showed up, dressed to the nines in creative Lolita Fashion, as if Harajuku just plopped down in the middle of Times Square. Kyary inspires her fans to let their freak flag fly and treats herself as a work of fashionable art. Her music by producer Yasutaka Nakata, the wunderkind producer of electro-pop acts Capsule and Perfume, does all her music and it fits perfectly with her Salvador Dali-goes-to-the-Circus-in-Japan style and vibe. She debuted new song "Invader Invader" which incorporates the sound of the day, dub-step and sent bass into everyone's deep deep insides, reverberating like mad. She was pleasant, pretty and changed dresses more than a few times, showing strange and wonderful clips from a "TV show" she does back in Japan, that was as surreal as you might expect, while she changed. But NO review of her live show would be complete without complete and full acknowledgement of KYARY'S DANCERS!! The choreography and dance for each song is at such a high level of expertise, it is akin to watching a great modern dance performance. The four dancers, two male two female, were never introduced, but they should have been, as they both made and stole the show. I am certain this is part of Kyary's plan, though. She, as the center, is the piece of art, and surrounds herself with such amazing colors, music, fashion and dance that each piece, including herself, is of equal importance to the whole. The dancers were simply brilliant and the best I have ever seen supporting a "pop star". All in all the show was a celebration of Japanese Pop Culture, the Kawaii Culture and Fashion Culture of areas of Tokyo like Harajuku. One cannot talk about current Japanese Pop Culture and not include Kyary Pamyu Pamyu in that conversation.

Kyary was so much fun and so cute! It was my first time going to a J-Pop concert and I adored it! Had a ball dancing and singing along to her top hits. The venue was great too, but so packed! Would definitely see Kyary again and would see another concert at the Best Buy Theater. I didn't like that you couldn't bring a camera inside. I would've liked to record my memories of the concert with better photos than the ones on my cell phone.

KPP and her dancers know exactly what they're doing ♥

I did not know much about her. Just for my curiosity, I went to this concert. Normally, in Japanese artist concert in NY, most audiences are Japanese. But for her concert, there were more than non -Japanese audience than Japanese or Asian. It surprised me. Her costumes, music and dance were so interesting and unique. I enjoyed her performance.

The performance was amazing, to see her get up there with her crazy dresses and dance her butt off was invigorating. There was a lot of audience interaction which kept us all pumped up. Its definitely worth going to see again.

Concert was pretty good, my only complaint was that if you're under 5'7" you're gonna have a hard time seeing anything if you're not near the front.

Although the event location was small, it was a nice venue. It gave everyone an opportunity to see the performance from two floors. The audio was nice, and Kyary definitely made the performance memorable. My only qualms are that the concert started a bit over 45 minutes later, and some of the employees weren't informed how people would exit.

If you're a KPP fan, then of course the concert was amazing. But if somehow you went to the concert and you weren't a fan before, I believe this show could make you a fan of KPP. KPP's music is unique and upbeat which made everyone dance. The lighting was great having certain flashes that matched the beat of the music. KPP's dancers were phenomenal! They usually do a great job making KPP look awesome. I really had a fun time at the show smiling and dancing like crazy person. I came down from San Francisco just to see this show and I'd definitely do it again for another Kyary Pamyu Pamyu concert!

Kyary is a doll and everything she sings is so fun and sweet and yet cool & hip. The music was a fascinating fusion of elements from hip hop to calypso to techno. And the audience was the most random group of people I've ever seen at any event in SoCal, proving her appeal is so broad- from grandfathers to five year olds to hipsters to harajuku crazies and a whole lot in between! I was disappointed in the stage show, given her videos. While her two male and two female dancers were amazing, the one monitor, her hand-held mic and a few strobe lights were pretty short of what one would expect for a world tour. I hope Kyary grows and her production company gets behind her in a far bigger way. I can also see her singing with some hip hop artists or visa-versa. Kyary really has potential to grow in the US and Europe. She probably needs to learn a little more English too, and her promoters definitely can be more effective with some more English marketing. It was great fun to see such a new, fun and fresh show. It'll be fun to see where she goes. We had standing places only - we didn't have a great view (not really surprising), but the video monitors on the large columns partially blocking our view didn't help because the camera they had trained on the stage was fixed & didn't move with her, so sometimes the screen was blank! Fairly amateur and low-budget- definitely a first show.

Concert in such a small venue was great with her. Sound mix was done really well and she kept the energy up and going the whole concert. The scant stage set worked with the video monitor showing Videos with the performance and the incredible dance team she has is the best I've seen. Totally Sugoi and Kawaii!!

For being Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's second performance in America, I was absolutely blow away at how amazing it was. The energy was high and constant throughout the whole concert. I'm a huge fan of her and I'd certainly go to another one of her concerts. It was just absolutely amazing.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu was awesome. I was so excited to hear her new song performed live! Super cute, super fun! I wish I could go see her more often! :)

She was so cute! Had so much fun , but I could not see her that much. Watching the monitor most of the time.

I fully expected that the show would be dancing and lip-synching to prerecorded music, and I was OK with that--because the music is fun and great! And of course Kyary and her dancers put on a good show. The most pleasant surprise for me was that between songs, in addition to banter with the crowd in Japanese, was that she sang a capella a few times! She was showing us in the crowd some moves we were supposed to do during the songs, and she was singing along with the moves she was making, with no backing track! It was clearly all Kyary singing live at those times, and her voice sounded every bit as good as it did on her CDs. No Milli Vanilli here! Fun show. :)

Holy jesus christ was that amazing. Security was a bit more rude than they should have been but otherrwise it was an AMAZING experi\\ence

I bought this ticket 1 week prior to the show, because I was convinced by a friend (who is a huge fan). I have to say I was surprised at how fun it was. She was more than I thought she would be-- cute, entertaining, charming, and energetic. It really seem like she really wanted us to participate by clapping, etc, during her performance. My favorite part of her concert were the dancers, I was in so much awe on how much they complemented her performance. There were 2 men, and 2 women up there with Kyary dancing like complete pros. I've never seen anything like them in this type of bubblegum-like music in Japanese pop. It's refreshing. As a picky person in Jpop, and Kpop music, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, you certainly won me over. :)

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu puts on an amazing performance! That girl is the cutest thing <3

she is my idol & I love her so much! ;w; meeting her was unforgettable & she is even more beautiful in person. her songs were great, & she debuted Invader Invader which was awesome :'D Kyary had better come back to LA soon~ the only problems were the lack of merchandise for our concert (London had everything T____T) & before the concert they looped the same instrumental for an hour which drove us slightly insane xD <333333

Kyary was wonderful, would love to see her in LA again!!

I only heard a couple of her songs before the show. I had fun from start to finish.

It was my first concert, so I was pretty excited. There was a lot of energy and people were really pumped up for it. I guess the only downside to it all would be the people who were in the VIP section in front of me - throughout the whole concert, they stood up and blocked my view of the stage. I get that they're really excited to see Kyary, but come on, at least have a little consideration for the other fans behind you.

Great concert! Loved the perfomance and all the music.

First off, the venue is fantastic! Second, Kyary did an incredible job, so much fun, so much energy. Her dancers we AMAZING!!!! And her shows played while she did her costume changes were very entertaining. We wish she had more dates in L.A. we would have caught each one. Hoping she comes back! Just wish she sold her goods in the VIP section. They needed more than just 2 people working the booth. That would be my only complaint. Other than that, it was GREAT!

The Venue was awesome and the performance was amazing and over the top. KyaryPamyuPamyu put on one heck of a show that I would recommend anyone who can go see her perform to go!

Everything was as organized as can be and things moved very quickly. I think all the audience was actually ready on time for once. As usual, the artists are fashionably late ;D

This concert was AWESOME! Not only is she extremely cute, but she is also an incredible singer! Since I have been studying Japanese I have learned a lot about the culture and when I heard that one of the most popular Japanese artists was playing so close I had to go! The tickets were wicked cheap too!

Will forever be in my thoughts until the day I die

At first i thiught the stage would be much further but having kyary pamyu pamyu so close was so amazing. If she ever performs here again i will have to buy a meet and greet.

Show was awesome. Glad she took the time to come to the US. For VIP seating, the view wasn't that great. Meet and greet was extremely brief but at least I have a photo to show for it. No autograph allowed, though. That was pretty disappointing. Overall, no regrets. Seeing her in NY tonight!

Kyary did so amazing she really knows how to pump up a crowd! Overall best show I've ever been to!!!

I've always wanted to see Kyary Pamyu Pamyu live and finally got the chance last week at the Fonda Theatre. The show was incredible. Lots of light effects and dancing were put into play during certain songs, which made the whole concert feel magical. Before coming to the concert, I was worried that KPP was only going to sing songs from her most recent album, since the whole thing is Hallowee themed. Luckily, I was wrong and she sang a ton of songs - some new, some old. The Fonda Theatre was incredibly hot, which made me respect KPP even more than I already did. KPP, as well as her backup dancers, pretty much danced the entire show. I could tell they were sweating a lot, but were still able to pull off an amazing show. I had a great time.

Simply awesome, I would definitely go see KPP again!

Kyary pamyu pamyu's concert was peppy, cute, and a lot of fun! She not only performed her music and talked to the audience, she also got them to participate by doing some simple moves during some of the songs. I would definitely go again when she returns!

This 21 year old pop star from Japan definitely knew how to put on a fun and interesting show. We brought my 1year old niece for her first concert ever and she had a blast too!

I absolutely loved this concert!! Very memorable!!

great show. no opening act. Kyary came out right at 8PM, performed for 90 minutes, no time wasted. this was the most fun i have had at a concert in a long time.

KPP was amazing. Really happy they had an international artist such as this.

Kyary is sooo amazing at what she does! I was really really impressed. :) It was fun to jump up and down to and sing to even though I didn't know most of the songs. She is very charismatic. Only thing I didn't like was getting pushed around and cut on the floor in front of the stage after waiting 5 hours in line to get there. That's expected I guess, but otherwise it was such a fun concert that lasted a good length of time (hour and a half.)

I have been to Club Nokia 5 Times all for Japanese Bands/Artists. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu was Awesome! The sound was good I was right at the stage which made it better!

Pro: The show was great. Since she is really just a budding artist in her first few years, I'd have to say she does a wonderful show. The theater was great and had a fantastic sound quality from wherever you decided to watch it from. Her set was wonderful and she played all the expected songs. There wasn't too much razzle-dazzle to it but that is to be expected. She had 4 backup dancers who were very good and the show made the audience laugh plenty of times. For her two costume changes, instead of intermission, she had amusing videos playing that definitely kept the audience's attention. Wish they had a better translator though for their videos. OOH! And she played her new song for us. So-so: The show started later than it was supposed to but it didn't really bother us too much; standing in line. The staff was courteous enough. Cons: New York City is crime infested. Our friends were supposed to join us for the show and were probably the first ones who had even purchased tickets once they became available online. However, the night before the event they had all of their belongings stolen -- laptops, phone chargers and concert tickets. They were unable to go and because of the nonsense that is the crime in this city, our time was less enjoyable. Would have been five stars if the location were better. Also, New York was a terrible choice for where to have the concert since a good chunk of KPP fans do NOT live on the east coast (even though I do). I hope there will be a next time for her to join us here in the USA, however if the concert is in the same city, I will not go and I will tell everyone I know to avoid it at all costs. KPP is wonderful but you can show your support of her in other ways, such as purchasing her merchandise.

I go to concerts all the time. Probably about 10 or more a year. When I heard Kyary Pamyu Pamyu was coming to NYC I knew it would be a once in a life time opportunity to see her. The show was AMAZING. By far one of my favorite concerts I've ever been too. The crowd was great, many people dressed up and the theatre was full of energy. KPP brought her amazing dancers and had lots of great costumes and graphics. I hope, as she continues to be successful she will come back to the states with an even bigger budget for production. I had the time of my life. Her songs are full of energy and excitement. Thank you KPP for coming to NYC. PLease come back soon.

Although it took a little longer to start than I had expected (1 hour wait outside the venue, and another hour wait inside) the show was overall extremely enjoyable. It was general admission so seats and floor space really.was first come first served. The venues sound system and layout was awesome.

This was amazing!! Kyary totally brought an awesome, lively and vivid performance. She did all her songs and even more with her upcoming single. The venue was apt, in my opinion, as she clearly caters for an enthusiastic crowd.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and her dancers were amazing! She put on a great show. I would give minus stars if I could for the venue, however.... What kind of venue does not accept credit cards for purchasing goods? Hello, it's 2013 and you're in NYC...

Short and sweet: everything about the concert from the dance, dancers, songs, and of course Kyary herself was amazing! The audience was great, I saw a ton of crazy, wild costumes it felt like I was in an anime convention. Next time maybe Ill dress up as well LOL. Im sure Kyary loved it, i know we did! I went with a friend who didnt know much about Kyary but he went with me just because I begged him to. He ended up loving it, he bought himself a shirt and now listens to Kyary all the time. VIP was well worth it! We got to take a 2shot with Kyary, I never ever thought Id get a chance to do something like that! Its a night Ill never forget! I would definitely go to another Kyary Concert in NYC again! We love KYARY!!!!!

It was good event over all. Well organized, no hassle

Kyary was awesome. Lot of fun songs. I hope she comes back. Kyary's revolution is unstoppable.

I hate standing events. Put in some seats. Too late now. I sat in the first row of seats way back, even though I had early admission. Otherwise, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is outstanding.

It was great to finally see one of my current favorite artists from Japan appear live here in the states. Many in the audience, including myself, came from out of state (I crossed 2 time zones) because of its rarity, so big thanks to the organizers of the concert for making it happen. Out of recognition and gratitude for that, the audience was very enthusiastic. The show itself, though, was very low budget. From what I could tell, the performance consisted of KPP singing over the top of recordings of her songs right off the CDs. The 4 backup dancers were incredible, but that was half as many as used in Japan concerts. KPP's dresses were very tame as compared to ones used in Japan shows as well. The set was 4 banners and a video screen, although the video during the performance was nicely put together for this tour and well used. I understand the promoters not wanting to invest too much in taking a Japanese act on a worldwide tour, but I'm sure I speak for most in attendance that I would have gladly paid two or three times $25 for a ticket to see more than a vocalist singing karaoke to her own recordings. As for the Best Buy theater, weird layout with standing room in the middle, and very mediocre sound -- lots of distortion. Perhaps it's set up more for live musicians.

Lots of fun! Waywayway! Should be fun to watch her evolve!

Couldn't believe she was really coming to the states and got tickets ASAP. The only part I didn't like was the way they handled the line outside. Other than that little thing, the show was amazing, she was perfect and the concert hall was great. Myself and my friends who went would 100% go back if she had a concert in NYC again.

Unforgettable!! She is amazing performer and sounds amazing live. She was very nice as well and also interacted with the audience. I had so much fun E:3

Kyary's live performance was great! She sang lots of songs and even taught us some parts of the dances! There was a lot of energy and oh man her backup dancers are amazing! And when she was backstage changing costumes, there were little intermissions featuring her funny skits and her cute bunny mascot. We also got to see her perform a song that hasn't been released yet! I need it to come out so I can put it on my ipod; it was sooo good! I definitely have to go to her next east coast US show the next time she tours!

Kyary pamyu pamyu was awesome! So much energy and tons of fun. She even taught the crowd some choreography so we could dance along with the songs!

Honestly, my only complaints are that they let us in almost 2 hours before the even started. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to start at 7pm, but it didn't start until 7:45. Also, due to that, the crowds were very rowdy during the waiting period. Otherwise, it was probably the best pop concert I've been to.

Yo this was pretty much the greatest day of my life. if you didnt go you messed up in life for real.

Literally one of the most amazing experiences of my life. So many conceptual emotions were conveyed on that stage within the time frame, I can't even begin. If I ever see you again I will propose.

I had an unforgettable experience seeing Kyary live. She is so amazing. She exuded cuteness from her personality to her costumes to her dancing. Her backup dancers were incredibly talented and mesmerizing. The setlist was perfect, I loved every song. I hope she comes back to America!!

Everything about the concert was amazing! Kyary was so charming and lovely I could barely stand it. The Kyary kids were also amazing and I was so glad that they could be there! I wish there was a bit more crowd control though since there were some VERY TALL people near the front who made it harder for others to see but that wasnt kyary's fault so I wont let it affect my score.
