Standing up on the railing, bodyguards are baffled… The Kid LaRoy, a 20-year-old new star, is having a blast in Harajuku.
In early December, musician The Kid Laroyi, 20, mingled with fans on a street corner in Harajuku with a unique performance sitting on a railing.
The Kid LaRoy has a mysterious air about him, having descended from indigenous Australians. His debut mixtape, “F*ck Love” (’20), debuted at No. 1 on the Australian ARIA charts, making him Australia’s youngest solo artist to top the list. It reached #3 on the U.S. Billboard 200.
He performed at Summer Sonic this past August and just released his highly anticipated debut album in November. He has also performed with Justin Bieber, and is now the most popular hip-hop artist in the world” (music magazine editor).
On this day, he appeared at a one-day pop-up store held at Laforet Harajuku. Surrounded by young Japanese people, the 20-year-old star was free and uninhibited, sitting on the railing of the stairs or standing on the railing. His expression was quite contrasting to the blank look on the face of his black bodyguard, who was holding his legs to prevent him from falling off the railing.
In an interview with the Japanese online media “Hypebeast Japan,” he said, “The city and the scenery are beautiful,
Japan is the best country in the world because the cities and landscapes are beautiful and there are so many incredible things to do and places to go. I really want to move to Japan.
During his one-week stay in Japan, he went to Mos Burger every day and ate so many chicken nuggets that he would be reborn in the next life. This is truly a new generation star to keep an eye on.
