Background and development
In May 2012, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu released her debut studio album Pamyu Pamyu Revolution, followed by the single "Fashion Monster" in October. Both releases were commercially successful, with the Recording Industry Association of Japan certifying Pamyu Pamyu Revolution gold and "Fashion Monster" platinum.{{cite web|script-title=ja:ゴールド等認定作品一覧 2012年5月 |trans-title=Works Receiving Certifications List (Gold, etc) (May 2012) |url=http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/gold/201205.html |publisher=Recording Industry Association of Japan |language=Japanese |date=June 10, 2012 |accessdate=October 12, 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120611023449/http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/gold/201205.html |archivedate=June 11, 2012 }}{{cite web | script-title=ja:レコード協会調べ 8月度有料音楽配信認定 |trans-title=Record Association Investigation: August Digital Music Download Certifications | url=http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/chart/w130920.html | publisher=Recording Industry Association of Japan |language=Japanese | date=September 20, 2013 | accessdate=January 26, 2014}} On December 31, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu performed at the 63rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, her first appearance at the annual new year's music competition.{{cite web|script-title=ja:紅白曲目発表！プリズム、ヨイトマケ、パレオ、Diamonds |url=http://natalie.mu/music/news/81808 |publisher=Natalie |language=Japanese |date=December 18, 2012 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}} Also in December, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's 100% KPP World Tour 2013 was announced, beginning in Belgium in February.{{cite web|script-title=ja:きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ、世界ツアー＜100%KPP WORLD TOUR 2013＞詳細が明らかに |url=http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000085761 |publisher=Barks |language=Japanese |date=December 22, 2012 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}}
The song was revealed on October 6, when Kyary Pamyu Pamyu announced the song's use in the anime during her performance at the TV Asahi Dream Festival.{{cite web|script-title=ja:きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ「クレしん」主題歌担当だゾ |url=http://natalie.mu/music/news/77850 |publisher=Natalie |language=Japanese |date=October 7, 2012 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}} The "Kimi ni 100 Percent" / "Furisodation" single was announced in December.{{cite web|script-title=ja:きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ、「キミに100パーセント/ふりそで－しょん」詳細発表 |url=http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000085157 |publisher=Barks |language=Japanese |date=December 2, 2012 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}} In 2014 for the film Crayon Shin-chan: Serious Battle! Robot Dad Strikes Back, a second song of hers was used for the theme song, "Family Party".{{cite web|script-title=ja:きゃりー「クレしん」で初の映画主題歌、“家族”を歌うゾ |url=http://natalie.mu/music/news/111229 |publisher=Natalie |language=Japanese |date=March 5, 2014 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}}
"Kimi ni 100 Percent" was written to have lyrics that would make children happy. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu found the melody simple to remember, so sung the song a lot smoother than she had in past recordings.{{cite web|script-title=ja:きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ「キミに100パーセント / ふりそでーしょん」インタビュー (1/3) |url=http://natalie.mu/music/pp/kyarypamyupamyu02 |author=Keisuke Tsuchiya |publisher=Natalie |language=Japanese |date=February 1, 2013 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}} The song is the second of hers to feature "100%" in the title, after {{nihongo|"100% no Jibun ni"|100％のじぶんに|Hyaku Pāsento no Jibun ni}}, the B-side to her "Fashion Monster" single.
Promotion and release
The song began being used in the opening sequences of Crayon Shin-chan in October 2012. The minute long clip of the song broadcast during the series was released as a digital download on December 7. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu made a cameo appearance on the January 25 episode of Crayon Shin-chan, voicing a character drawn in her likeness.{{cite web|script-title=ja:きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ、ついにカスカベ防衛隊とがっつりコラボ |url=http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000086763 |publisher=Barks |language=Japanese |date=January 25, 2013 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}} On the same day, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu performed the song at Music Station live, alongside the characters of Crayon Shin-chan. This was the first time in the anime's 22-year history that program's characters had appeared to perform a song alongside a theme song's singer.
On January 28, an Asobisystem event held at AgeHa in Shin-Kiba, Tokyo was held to celebrate Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's 20th birthday, featuring performances by musicians such as Yasutaka Nakata, Ram Rider and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu herself.{{cite web|script-title=ja:きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ、20歳誕生日イベントは超豪華 |url=http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000086379 |publisher=Barks |language=Japanese |date=January 11, 2013 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}} This was followed by a mini-tour, {{Nihongo|Kyary no 100% Pamyu Pamyu Live 2013|きゃりーの100％ぱみゅぱみゅライブ 2013}}, featuring a performance in Tokyo on January 30 and two performances in Nagoya and Osaka on February 2.
Unlike Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's other singles, "Kimi ni 100 Percent" did not receive a music video.
Cover artwork
In addition to the "Furisodation"-related single covers showing "Kyary as an adult", a Crayon Shin-chan version of the single was released. This edition features a caricature of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu in the same art style as the Crayon Shin-chan manga and anime, drawn by artist at the Groovisions design studio.{{cite web|script-title=ja:きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ、クレヨンしんちゃん化現象 |url=http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000086372 |publisher=Barks |language=Japanese |date=January 11, 2012 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}}{{cite web|script-title=ja:きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ「キミに100パーセント / ふりそでーしょん」インタビュー (1/3) |url=http://natalie.mu/music/pp/kyarypamyupamyu02/page/2 |author=Keisuke Tsuchiya |publisher=Natalie |language=Japanese |date=February 1, 2013 |accessdate=January 15, 2015}}
Critical reception
Rolling Stone Japan reviewer Kazumi Nanba gave the "Kimi ni 100 Percent" / "Furisodation" single 3.5 stars out of five, calling the song "relaxed and light" and completely different to "Furisodation". He praised Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's vocal technique of not strictly matching the melody and very slightly differing as "technical" and felt it was a sign of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's rapid growth as a vocalist.{{cite web | url=http://www.rollingstonejapan.com/reviews/archive/kimini-100-hurisodetion/ | title=レヴューREVIEW きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ『キミに100パーセント／ふりそでーしょん』 |publisher=Rolling Stone Japan |author=Kazumi Nanba | language=Japanese | accessdate=January 13, 2015}} CDJournal reviewers described it as a "game pop song with Kyary's full-on charms", and felt that the song had a fairy tale feel, due to the "dance flavor" hiding away the darkness of the world.{{cite web | url=http://artist.cdjournal.com/d/-/4112120085 | title=きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ / キミに100パーセント / ふりそでーしょん |publisher=CDJournal | language=Japanese | accessdate=January 13, 2015}}
