J-pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has shared her video for new single "Sai & Co".
Hideyuki Tanaka has directed the video which sees Kyary turned into a drumming Pop-Up Pirate. It's full of CGI toys and tiny divers and wind-up cars and a clumsy spaceman and a giant doughnut. It's just beautifully bizarre, really.
Kyary - "the Princess of Kawaii Harajuku Culture" - will headline the capital's Koko on 8 July ahead of a greatest hits collection later this year.
Tickets are on sale now. There are also meet and greet packages available.
Check out our behind-the-scenes gallery from last year when Kyary played the Roundhouse.
Watch the video for "Sai & Co." below.
