"Kimi ni 100 Percent" (Japanese: キミに100パーセント Hepburn: Kimi ni Hyaku Pāsento?, "100% for You") is a song by Japanese pop singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Used as the fifteenth opening theme song for the anime Crayon Shin-chan, it was released as a double A-side single alongside "Furisodation" on January 30, 2013.
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 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. The "Kimi ni 100 Percent" / "Furisodation" single was announced in December. 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".
"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. The song is the second of hers to feature "100%" in the title, after "100% no Jibun ni" (100%のじぶんに Hyaku Pāsento no Jibun ni?), the B-side to her "Fashion Monster" single.
