Kyary Pamyu Pamyu--Furisodeshon


This song is about how Kyary is turning 20 at the end of the month. In Japan you become an adult on your 20th birthday. You can drink, smoke, vote, etc. I think this video shows all the great things you can do on when you become adult like drink fake wine, talk to cigar-smoking, rich monsters, dance with large candy canes, eat cake, and stab giant apples with a fork (if you know what I mean).

By the way, a furisode is a type of formal kimono women often wear on Coming of Age Day (when they're 20). It is often red and white (not always) and has long pieces of cloth that hang from the sleeves. I don't know what the shon part means. Might be the end of celebration, or it could be from desho (meaning "right?").
