"Invader Invader" (インベーダーインベーダー Inbēdā inbēdā) is the sixth physical single by Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. It was released on May 15, 2013 in both regular and limited editions.[2] The song "Invader Invader" is used for the G.u. clothing retailer commercials in Japan while "Point of View" will be used for Fuji TV's afternoon news program "Ageru TV".[3]

Production

The single "Invader Invader" was first announced on March 31, 2013 as Kyary's 6th physical single. The song is an 80’s-tinged electropop chiptune track written specifically for the commercial by Yasutaka Nakata.[1] The artwork in the single is themed with "otherworldly creatures", with costumes designed by Kumiko Iijima. The limited edition jacket cover features a proud Kyary showing off the "fairy Kyary" on her index finger, while the regular edition jacket cover shows strange creatures with watermelon-patterned hair.[1] The song was also featured as a part of her live concert 100%KPP and featured a dubstep section.

The music video for Invader Invader was released on Youtube on May 6, 2013 and coincided with Youtube Music Week. In this music video, Kyary becomes the leader of a secret society and summons a DJ-like alien from a spacecraft by her mystic ritual. She dances on a altar singing "Well, let's conquer the world", and the alien and Kyary's comrades play a weird dance party.[4]
