Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s domestic hall tour “KPP JAPAN IYAHOI TOUR 2017” started from January 21st and finally finished on April 20th at Tokyo NHK hall to an audience of 3000 people.

The performance began with her song “Sai & Co” where great shouts of joy arose from the audience as she played the Japanese drums on stage. She wore a Japanese kimono-styled white and blue sky costume as she sang “PONPONPON.” The audience were captivated by her waving penlight. Colorful LED lights and illuminations lit up the entire room, and six dancers joined the stage to fully form the world of Kyary amidst the dazzling spectacle.

Penlights which the audience had were a big part of the live performances on this tour. Kyary and the audience changed the colors of their penlights together and performed one of her glitter pop tunes, 「KISEKAE」. It meant that everyone could join in with the concert.

Her movements were well-defined for “Furisodeshon“ and her strong songs raised the audience’ spirits.

After that she changed her costume for an Indian style and sang “Tsukematsukeru.”

Kyary’s fantasy party unraveled as she performed “No No No” and “Crazy Party Night～Pumpkins Strike Back～” while lasers shot through the air.

Kyary had fun talking together with the audience as she accepted and answered some of their questions between songs, which enabled Kyary and her fans to feel closer. She then performed her new song “Easta.”

The Celtic folk song styled music and its marching sound resounded through the venue.

She then changed to a pinky hat and one-piece dress and sang “CANDY CANDY.“

Afterwards, Kyary said that “‘IYAHOI TOUR’ is good name for this tour but it’s difficult to express the word “Iyahoi” because it doesn’t exist in this world. Then I thought to express this word by wearing costumes based on the festivals of each country. The first costume was a Japanese kimono-styled costume. The second was an Indian-styled costume from America. Wearing earth colored clothing was a first experience for me so it was very novel. And now I’m wearing Russian costume.”

The live drew to a close with her , electropop number “Todoke Punch,” followed by her Japanese-styled song “Ninjya Re Bang Bang” and finally, the elated “Kira Kira Killer.” At the end of the concert, she performed her Russian-styled song “Harajuku Iyahoi.” She shouted “1! 2! Iyahoi!” with the audience and finished her performance along with golden ticker tape.

She reappeared on stage and played “Cosmetic Coaster” for the encore.

But the encore didn’t stop there, as she went on to sing “Yume no Hajima Ring Ring,” as song that embraces the starting of a new life. Kyary gave her impressions of her tour of 25 performance. She said “Finally, this tour of 23 cities and 25 performances has finished today. Thank you very much. This hall tour was a bit longer than usual and so it was a new challenge for me, but I really enjoyed it. Being able to perform again was a lot of fun! I also want to try all standing-styled concert where we can all come together and a poisonous-like but cute concert style to really bring the world of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu to life.”

The audience cheered wildly after she said that. At the very end of the concert, she performed “Mottai-Nightland” which concluded her tour.

Kyary has enjoyed many performances together with her fans up to now, but her performing power has no doubt powered up through the 25 shows she played for her “KPP JAPAN IYAHOI TOUR 2017.
