Do you remember that one song that took the world by storm in 2016? Created by PIKO-TARO, this track is only 45 seconds long, yet it became the first song by a Japanese artist in about 26 years to enter the U.S.

Billboard Hot 100, and it was recognized by Guinness World Records as the shortest song ever to chart.

Released digitally in October 2016, it was also included on the first album “PPAP.” The choreography is easy, making it perfect for hyping up a karaoke session or warming up the crowd at a get-together with friends.
