Music video


On February 19, 2014; Kyary announced a music video for Yume No Hajima ring" target="_blank">Ring ring" target="_blank">Ring. The theme of the video is "Graduation." The video begins with her walking on her knees, to look like a child, with a polar bear holding her hand. Child Kyary encounters her older self from her initial modeling career. She sheds a tear as her model self walks away. Model-era Kyary walks onward, with the camera following. Model-era Kyary then graduates, receiving a diploma from Ponponpon-era-Kyary. Model-era Kyary then sheds a tear as Ponponpon-era Kyary walks onward, then sits down while kinetic typography is displayed, then walks by numerous props from previous videos. Ponponpon-era Kyary then meets Fashion Monster-era Kyary on a bench. Ponponpon-era Kyary sheds a tear as Fashion Monster-era Kyary leaves, recreates part of the music video for Fashion Monster, then resumes walking onward. Fashion Monster-era Kyary then hits a TV, seeing now-modern Kyary in hakama, dancing with the new background dancers, the polar bear still watching. All of the previous Kyary incarnations call back to her on a Videophone. Kyary then walks for a while with the polar bear, gives it a hug, and then waves goodbye to it. She then walks off alone, as the polar bear begins to cry at her departure.
