"Furisodation" (Japanese: ふりそでーしょん Hepburn: Furisodēshon?, "Furisode") is a song by Japanese pop singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Released on January 30, 2013 as a double A-side single along with the song "Kimi ni 100 Percent", the song was themed around the Japanese Coming of Age Day and the Coming of Age Ceremony, and celebrated Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's own coming of age (having just turned twenty years old on January 29, 2013).
The song was commercially successful, receiving a gold certification for downloads by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, and has since become an annual appearance on radio station's playlists during the January coming of age celebrations in Japan.
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. 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. Also in December, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's 100% KPP World Tour 2013 was announced, beginning in Belgium in February.
The "Kimi ni 100 Percent" / "Furisodation" single was announced in December. The term furisodation, referring to the furisode kimono worn by Japanese women at coming of age ceremonies, and the idea for a coming of age-themed song were both ideas of Nakata's.
