きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ - PONPONPON , Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - PONPONPON 

For those people who don't know. The purpose of this song was to cheer people up from the 2011 tsunami and earthquake disaster that happened.

anime episode: blood, violence, death anime ending:

BACKSTORY: After the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan during 2011. This music video was released to get everyone out of the depressing feeling.

Think about this...Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is today a 31 year old married woman and she is waiting for her first baby, so this video is pure nostalgia of teenager days💧💧💧

8 years later, and we still don't understand what's going on.

*So just imagine this being the last piece of evidence that humans existed*

As a hairy and very manly 27-year-old man, I listen to this song while I work out at the gym; I feel like it gives me more strength in the last sets. 🗿

Sometimes it's nice to get a cute sounding song that isn't actually a song about depression.

It's like a Japanese LazyTown on an acid trip

Anime episode: *Someone gets brutally killed* The intro on the next season:

I know its weird to say, but i genuinely believe discovering this video in 2012 saved me. I was 11 at the time and being bullied physically by my peers at school and mentally at home. This is the video that got me into most of my modern hobbies. She was so unapologetically herself and she still is! It gave me so much strength and I wanted to be just like her. Now she's a mom, and I'm a lot happier too. Kyary forever

当時、奇想天外キャラでぱみゅぱみゅ語でしゃべるかと思ったら、落ち着いた口調で語り出す常識人で良い意味で肩透かし食らった

After 9 years, this comment section is still active.

I’m Japanese and now I have a foreign student in my class, and he says he likes j-pop music. I asked him what j-pop music he has listened to, and promptly “PON PON PON” he replied. I didn’t know this became a meme outside of Japan until I searched for it now lol

すごいよな、もう12年前なのに今でも色褪せない神曲たなのだから

懐かしい……初めて見たアイドルがきゃりーちゃんだったから全部アイドルはきゃりーちゃんが着てるような可愛い服だと思ってた……でもこの格好はきゃりーちゃんだからこそできる神ワザなんだなって今更思ってる

Good luck to the future historians trying to figure out our culture

I’m glad they didn’t turn off comments.

12 years later. this song still slaps

12年前、すごい早い、時間が経つのが早いですね。そして、これは2024年でも人気のある曲です。🌈

imagine future historian trying to figure out what's going on in this video

My teacher: Are you even paying attention? My brain:

え、もう12年前なのかよ。まだ俺赤ん坊だぞ。

お父さんとよく聞いてたな… 何年経っても大好き

Did anyone just search this up for no reason?...

the way this somehow nearly pulled a nation together is incredible.

こんなにもキラキラしてるテーマなのにド派手なサウンドは使わずに走り抜けてる感じがまた良い。

なんとなくオススメに上がってきてなんとなく見たら１２年前で衝撃受けた

Just found this video in my dislikes back in 2012. I was a foolish boy.

8 years, and people still comment on this video Nice

The earworm given by my Owlshi has guided me here. Dangit Mumei!! Fun Fact: this is one of the first JP songs Nanashi Mumei learned to sing

定期的に聴くのがいいんだこれが

Added to the “when the homies aren’t around” playlist*

The next Just Dance needs this song so badly it isn’t even funny

This is my go-to song when I want to brute force my depression away. It always works.

Mumei Pon Pon!

Everyone seeing me at school: “I think he might be depressed” My playlist:

When the world ends, this will play in the credits.

Like if you were one of the 1,400 left when mooms continued singing in the chat

This was my first Japanese song ever...

Me in a serious talk with my parents My brain:

Psychologist: All dreams have meaning My dreams:

Time goes so fast 😭 Last year she got married, and now she just announced a baby. I am sad seeing her grow up so much, but I am also so happy for her. She deserves so much joy and happiness because she's brought so much to me. Love you Kyary! Congrats!

きゃりー2億再生おめでとう！

People: wow this song is like a drug trip The song who was supposed to cheer people up after a tsunami: 🥺👍

I can assure you that Japanese people, including me, also don’t understand what the hell is going on here It sure is catchy though

It is 4:44 pm feb 27, 2024 I am listening to this for the first time, I am speechless, the video leaves me questioning reality.

Pov: 暴力、血、死、臓器があちこちにこぼれるアニメのイントロ

Let’s have a moment of silence for the people who can’t find this song

Me: wearing mostly black clothes with a stern face My headphones:

That one boy who wear black all the time *his headphones* :

Most masculine japanese music video

Its crazy that her parents didn't even know she was an idol or did this music video.

Producer: So how many effects do you want? Artist: *Yes*

PON PON うぇいうぇいうぇいが続く所めちゃめちゃ踊るの楽しい

癖になる曲調、MV、リズム、歌詞、ダンス……いやハマるに決まってんだろ! 何度でも聴けるぞ!?

Producer: how many effects? She: yes

billie: i make weird music kyary pamyu pamyu: hold my ponponpon

2024: 200.000.000 people going PONPONPON!!!

I've been consuming a lot of Japanese content lately so YT finally showed their trump card.

*Brain:* click it *Me:* why? *Brain:* click. it.

Fun Fact: This video has more views than Japan's population. 125 million < 178 million (🗾Population) (Videos Views)

Although I'm still slightly worried about mumei...

せつなかわいいです。胸が締め付けられるような曲。涙が出てくる。

This drug may cause death The people in the advertisement:

1999: In the future we may have ponponpon! 2011: Flying cars

そもそも曲が可愛くてPVの完成度もやばいんだけど、歌いだしの歌詞が辛いことを前向きにする力があってすごく好き

the amazing world of gumball...

When the teacher leaves for one minute.

me in school looking depressed, in all black with my earphones the earphones:

Im here after watching the video of Taiwan Earthquake 😢😢😢 i pray for them

Thanks Mumei!

My friend: girl, u look depressed. Is everything alright? My mind:

Depression: I fear no man. But that thing This song Depression: It scares me.

I love how a jpop music video from 12 years ago has better CGI-live action integration than most contemporary movies.

この平成感を味わいに未だに来てしまう

This is the kind of music you listen to when the homies ain't around

I SWEAR THIS WAS HD DURING MY CHILDHOOD

Hello world

なぜ今でもこの曲を聴いているのか分からない、流行遅れだろうが、一部の人が「嫌い」だろうが関係ない、それでも美しいんだ :3

Me: *6’6 tatted mexican working out at the gym with my headphones* The headphones:

Me wearing all black with a serious face. My headphones:

Let's get it to 300m by the end of year

Dammit Moom, getting this song stuck in my head all day😭

Whatever this girl is on, I need it.

My friend talking about her and her boyfriend My brain:

imagine a victorian child seeing this video

マシュメロのライブで聞いた時は本当に感動しました！ 重低音もあいまってめっちゃかっこよかった

Me: *going to school, all in black, with my hoodie up and my headphones* The headphones:

The anime: *contains gore, blood, violence, swear words* The anime op:

cannot believe its been 12 years since this banger dropped, im gettin old

What people think weebs are like: What weebs think Japan is like:

Kyary pamyu pamyu: yes. Producer: I haven’t even said anything yet

came here after mumei's karaoke and found out there was a wholesome backstory to the song. the song itself is very catchy and can be listened on loop for who knows how long ^^ and did not know the MV was so trippy LOL

この曲の2日前に生まれました。大好き！！

2011: this is weird, Japan is weird 2021: this is cool, Japan is cool

Me in 2011: yo wtf??? Me in 2019: *dancing*

How surprising that this music video is almost reaching to 200M Views which is later today, so yep, congrats on reaching that many views.

Mumei very Pon Pon everyday.

friend: what kind of music do you like? me: *it's complicated...*
