‘Moshi Moshi Harajuku’ is the first
extended album from the Japanese pop artist Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Her album cover
expresses the main notions of voyeurism.
The image is of her looking directly at the camera. She is framed in the
middle of the camera and the main aspects of her face are symmetrical, apart
form her painted on mouth expression. The colour scheme of the album cover are
predominantly, light brown and warm yellow tones, however her darker and bold
eyes contrast her fair skin and accentuates the notion of looking, making her
eyes the focal point of the whole image. This cover uses product placement very
cleverly. She advertises her line of the Dolly Wink brand of false eyelashes
and also creates an appeal for that particular hair colour dye and the
particular orange/ coral tone of blusher that she uses. A bubbly and youthful
font is used for the title of the album, the inside of the characters are clear
which means that your attention isn’t distracted from her face to the font. The
message that this cover is sending is that Kyary is a fun, ‘out there’,
youthful artist. She also communicates that she also has a twisted or more ‘devilish’
side to her through the distorted curve of her painted on mouth. This album
works well regarding the material that is giver for fans. You are able to
clearly see her face and are also able to replicate how she looks.
