Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is an Aomoji-kei model for the Harajuku fashion magazines KERA and Zipper, a fashion blogger, and recently made her singing debut with Nakata Yasutaka as her producer. After being snapped on the street by a photographer from KERA in fall of 2009, Kyary gained popularity as a reader’s model for her unique style and began appearing in both Zipper and KERA regularly.
In early 2010, Kyary signed under avex trax after joining the highschoolsinger.jp project, which gave high school students the opportunity to show their hidden talent by professionally recording a song in a studio. Kyary released the songs Miracle Orange and Love Berry as digital singles through highschoolsinger.jp, and also produced a Studio Ghibli cover album under avex.
In 2010, Kyary met famous producer Nakata Yasutaka, who decided to work with the eccentric teenager on her official musical debut. Kyary then switched labels to Warner Music Japan in June of 2011, just one month before the release of her first digital single PONPONPON. The song went viral through YouTube and garnered attention from all around the world.
Kyary released her debut mini-album “Moshimoshi Harajuku” in August of 2011, then released two more singles (“Tsukema Tsukeru” and “CANDY CANDY”) before releasing her first full album in May of 2012. The album and its preceding singles were hits both in Japan and internationally through iTunes, leading her to perform not only at Japan Expo in France, but also in Shanghai, California, and Hong Kong.
In August 2012, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu was made the official “Kawaii Harajuku Ambassador” by the mayor of Shibuya, marking her recognition as the symbol of Harajuku fashion and cuteness culture.
After releasing her third single “Fashion Monster” in October 2012, Kyary held her first performance at the prestigious Nippon Budoukan arena. The concert was a huge success, but also Kyary surprised her international fans by announcing her first ever world tour for 2013, “100%KPP World Tour 2013”. The tour includes stops in Europe, America, Australia, and Asia as Kyary’s way of saying thank you to all her fans abroad.
As her domestic popularity sky-rocketed throughout 2012, Kyary began appearing in multiple commercials and popular TV shows. She currently co-hosts two shows, “Space Shower AREA” and “Catherine the Third”.
Kyary is well-known for making hengao (weird faces) when taking pictures of herself and her friends, her “Kyary lingo” (which features a mixture of made-up words, 2channel slang, and other trendy terms), as well as her unique and sometimes outrageous fashion sense.
In addition to her official Ameba and GREE blogs, Twitter, and personal YouTube account, fans can get to know Kyary through her Kyary’s Way Way NICO Channel on NicoNico Douga and her weekly radio program, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s Way Way Radio!.

「MAYU」Vocaloid 3


「MAYU」Vocaloid 3 Makeup Tutorial

 
 





MAYU is a female Vocaloid3 vocal by Exit Tunes, who released Vocaloid related CDs and albums in the past for Crypton Future Media and Internet Co., Ltd. Vocaloids.She was released on December 5th, 2012 .


Mayu is intended to be a yandere influenced Vocaloid, while her outfit is based on lolita fashion. Notice in her boxart she is also holding an axe, emphasizing the yandere influence in her design.
The rabbit she is holding is named Usano Mimi (宇佐乃ミミ). It was first introduced in a April Fools' Day 2012 joke as a parody of the Crypton Future Media Character Vocal series website. There, it was listed as a new line of Vocaloids called "Animaloid".






Notes about her appearance:

  • Her hat has a speaker attached
  • Her earrings appear to be styled like in-ear headphones that hook over the ear.
  • Her hair itself fades from simple blonde to rainbow.
  • The buttons on her dress are amplifier buttons/knobs.
  • The bottom of her dress has a keyboard pattern.
  • As previously stated, she holds an axe, which is to show her yandere influence.
  • The rabbit doll she holds has a microphone at the top of its head. When she holds it up to sing, she grabs it by the neck, as if she were strangling it.
  • Her shoes have neon lighting flowing through them.
Her birthday is on the 6th of May.

WIP :
