Analysis of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's album Moshi Moshi Harajuku draft


‘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.
