Pikotaro’s unique brand of musical weirdness gives birth to a stay-home fitness routine he can barely complete.
Some might call Piko Taro/Daimaou Kosaka’s strategy “running away,” but it’s just common sense, he says.
Are we crazy for looking for deep meaning in a Pikotaro song? Maybe, but no crazier than the song itself.
Pikotaro teams up with idol unit Momoiro Clover Z as he releases the companion song to “Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen.”
Piko Taro shows that making a girl laugh apparently is the surest way to win her heart.
The viral hit makers from Japan and South Korea get together to show us their awesome new dance moves.
The Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen singer was surprised by his popularity in the US, with kids, artists and famous celebrities all wanting a photo with him.
Piko Taro is the creation of a real musician with real talent named Kosaka Daimao, but unfortunately for him, Piko will be the one playing the Budokan this March.
