Pikotaro
Pikotaro’s unique brand of musical weirdness gives birth to a stay-home fitness routine he can barely complete.
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.”
The Japanese band White Jam have created a surprisingly good Christmas version of the now world-famous PPAP song.
Yes, Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen bread, based on the viral video, actually exists, and our lucky reporters managed to get their hands on some!
