Internet sensation PIKOTARO recently released a new song called Hoppin' Flappin' to help encourage home exercise while people are stuck indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The song's lyrics urge families to "Hop like a rabbit! Fly like a bird! Get your lazy body movin' with these jumps!" The performer also includes a warning to any kids or adults who are ready to try out his moves: "When you jump, please make sure to be in safe surroundings."

Hoppin' Flappin' is now available on digital platforms worldwide.

Watch the music video for the track below:


Last month, PIKOTARO released PPAP 2020, an updated version of his 2016 hit PPAP, adding a new chorus of "Wash! Wash! Wash!" with the mission of helping children and adults wash their hands thoroughly.

PIKOTARO recorded these new tracks at the home of his producer KOSAKA DAIMAOU as a "Stay-At-Home" trilogy, which also includes a "PPAP" version of the classic single SUKIYAKI.

Listen to the "PPAP" version of SUKIYAKI below:
