With Halloween just being a little over a couple of weeks away, I usually think of technopop force of nature Kyary Pamyu Pamyu（きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ）and her frilly costumes.
Not sure how she pulls it off, but Kyary and songwriter Yasutaka Nakata（中田ヤスタカ）always manage to make her songs sound 80s and 20s (or 10s) at the same time. The same goes with her October 2022 11th digital single "Isshin Doutai" which, according to Jisho.org, can be defined as "being one in body and soul" and "two hearts beating as one". I can also add "perfectly in synch with each other" like Kirk & Spock and Holmes & Watson.
"Isshin Doutai" has that KPP blippity-bloppity gleaming synthesizer style along with those high-falutin' vocals of hers. In addition, the accompanying music video has her back with the fantasy pastel colours and the distinct choreography. The fun with the mirror is fine but the standout is the lass dancing with the middle-aged fellow as if they were hangers come to life. I'm wondering if the guy is the same one who was the dancing salaryman in the earlier "Jikan ga nai"（時間がない）by Kirinji.
The song was also used as the second of three themes that Kyary provided for the 2022 anime adaptation of the video game "Ninjala"（ニンジャラ）. It was the opening theme from Episode 41 to Episode 112.
