To know Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is to love Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
At the young age of 20, she has dominated Japanese music charts and global YouTube viewing lists. If you’re in Tokyo, it’s pretty much guaranteed that whichever neighborhood you’re in, you’ll run into a cardboard cutout, or billboard emblazoned the princess of pop.
