Lyrics & Translation
Learning Japanese with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's "Fashion Monster" is a fun and energetic way to engage with the language. The song's repetitive chorus and clear, pop-style vocals make it easy to follow along and pick up new vocabulary related to freedom and self-expression. What makes "Fashion Monster" special is its powerful message of individuality, wrapped in a catchy, Halloween-themed electro-pop package, which provides a vibrant window into Japan's 'kawaii' and Harajuku culture.
