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.

Man this is such a bop, who’s listening in 2024

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*

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

え、もう12年前なのかよ。まだ俺赤ん坊だぞ。

After 9 years, this comment section is still active.

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

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。

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. 🗿

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

Producer: how many effects? She: yes

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

After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, and now the current start to 2024 with the 7.6 magnitude earthquake. This song needs to come back, all love and hopes to Japan. 2011年の東北地方震災を経て、2024年にマグニチュード7.6の地震が始まる現在。 全ての愛と希望を日本に届けるために、この曲が戻ってくる必要があります。

"How many colors do you want on your clip?" "Yes"

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

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

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

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

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

お父さんとよく聞いてたな… 何年経っても大好き

Mumei Pon Pon!

-Character horribly dies in the worst possible way. -The outro music:

8 years, and people still comment on this video Nice

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

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

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

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

定期的に聴くのがいいんだこれが

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!

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

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

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

who else is in 2024 and just randomly clicked on this video cus you forgot all about it.

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*

This was my first Japanese song ever...

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

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

aliens in area 51 be like:

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

When the teacher leaves for one minute.

今見てる人🙋‍♀️

This is by far the most catchiest songs ever the fact this was done to cheer people up after the Tokohu earthquake that happend massive respect here

Psychologist: All dreams have meaning My dreams:

Me in a serious talk with my parents My brain:

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

Thanks Mumei!

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

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

MVが色彩豊かで格好良すぎる

Travel log: it's 2024 and i don't even know how I ended up here 😂.. it's fire tho🔥🤧

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

can't believe she was 18 while making this song.

The Japanese created this kawaii culture to destroy the evil they did in history BUT DAMMIT, THE JAPANESE ARE THE SWEETEST PEOPLE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE 😭💖💗💓💞💕💘💝🎉

*"Filth filth all around in the air and on the ground"* -Teri from The Amazing World of Gumball

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

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

The ponponpon guy from the crowd brought me here.

この曲は子供の頃をとても思い出させてくれる、大好きです

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

I SWEAR THIS WAS HD DURING MY CHILDHOOD

the amazing world of gumball...

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!?

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

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

This performance brought to you by the same guys who made that episode of Pokemon which causes seizures.

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。

It's like a Japanese LazyTown on an acid trip

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

Mumei very Pon Pon everyday.

Thank you mumei

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

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

Ah the best times in the modern era - 2008-2012. We had so much hopes for the future to be bright without wars, without hatred, with good games like Skyrim and Dark Souls and a good Blizzard. Concerts were awesome, you could travel europe without meeting too many "bad" people, smartphones only just started and social media was only on the pc as it should be. Nerd hobbies were for nerds and not the mainstream like it is today.

The fact this was made like 11 years ago? Anyone here from 11 years ago? Kyary is 30 years old!

For the ppl who don’t know what this song meant, it was for the Japanese ppl that was struck with the Japan Tsunami during March of 2011. The song was used to cheer them up! (Credit: Kobe Cawigan, I just wanted to share it)

she was only 18 here, it's insane, imagine releasing THIS ANTHEM while being only 18!

この平成感を味わいに未だに来てしまう

American dad was right In the future everyone loves Japanese funk

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

remember how everyone was so weirded out by this music video, and westerners were calling it disturbing? i bet in retrospect it looks so tame to everyone. i was never weirded out tho lol so idk

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

It took riot 9 years to put this dance in their game and I'm honestly surprised it didn't happen sooner.

Teacher: begins explaining how to do the math formula My brain:

Thanks to Moom. Take me here.

Here to comment because of mumei's unending PON, honestly tho it made me worried for her

2011: Wow this music video is insane 2020: This is calming my nerves during the coronavirus outbreak

"Side effects include: headaches, stomach irritation, vomiting, suicidal thoughts, and even death" People in the advertisements:

Most masculine japanese music video

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

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