[Music Video Review] Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Invader Invader

Okay so first let me express my unabashed love of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. I adore her and her wackiness and and bizzarity that appears in her videos, even if at times it becomes much too strange even for me. I enjoy it. And so I was naturally incredibly excited for the sensory overload that is "Invader Invader".

The video opens up in space, with this being the Title Card. We see a picture of who we can assume is Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, followed by the japanese title of the song which is made up of gears and staem and a strange worm creature and even a lightning bolt. Then, the word ATCG is on the right side of the screen. Or is it ACTG. What does that even mean?

Our video then gives us a quick shot of Kyary, and then THIS staring us in the face. There are four creatures like this with various Kanji attached to their faces, and I'm pretty sure they're men. In funkly alien drag -- bravo Kyary, you've turned your video into RuPaul's Drag Race.

Ladies, start your engines~

However, we can see that Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is looking as cute as ever! Also, this video appears to have some kind of attempt at a story. 

Of course, I use the term "Story" loosely. The story throughout this video seems to be that our adorable little 20 year old Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is an alien of some kind, and as she fills out this awkward looking graph with sushi and dolphins and other bizzarities, the graph glows and a DJ with a TV for a head descends from the sky and they party hard with people in weird costumes. So yeah. 
This is a man, I swear, LOOK AT THAT CHIN.

I don't even know what this is supposed to be.
Got laser eye beams
And super ear missiles.
I'll send my Telepathy
Right into your heart!
AND THE MYSTERY HAS BEEN SOLVED
......

I Think.

I'm not even sure what this means.


But it makes this happen somehow. okaaaaay.

So, long story short, Invader Invader is just the kind of video I like. It's wacky and crazy and cute and doesn't make much sense at all, and the song is just kickin!
