PIKOTARO is back! His song ‘PPAP (Pen Pineapple Apple Pen)’ became a global sensation when it was uploaded to YouTube in 2016 and picked up by Justin Bieber along with media such as CNN and the BBC, making it the first song by a Japanese artist in 26 years to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart. And now, this unique star from Japan is preparing to relaunch his music activity, to take the world by storm all over again.

Back on June 28, PIKOTARO released a new digital single and music video titled ‘PEEK-A-BOO feat. Masato Suzuki & Cateen (Hayato Sumino) with Azabu Gakuen OB+Orchestra’. This release is a collaboration with Cateen (Hayato Sumino), a classical pianist who was discovered by producer Daimaou Kosaka on TV Asahi’s music TV series ‘Untitled Concert’ and whose YouTube channel now has over 1.2 million subscribers, along with famous Japanese classical musician Masato Suzuki and the Azabu Gakuen OB +Orchestra.

‘PEEK-A-BOO’ is the follow-up to ‘PPAP’. Aiming to “Make the world smile with PEEK-A-BOO”, this is PIKOTARO’s next step towards his dream of winning the Nobel Peace Prize. The music video features a typically PIKOTARO twist, with a multitude of smartphones and tablets showing videos of each of the collaborators running simultaneously in perfect sync. Check out PIKOTARO’s hilarious facial expressions across three screens, alongside Cateen’s incredible piano performance and the full-scale orchestra conducted by Masato Suzuki!
