Ponponpon was released in 2011 as the debut single by Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, produced by Yasutaka Nakata. Its surreal music video, packed with colourful Harajuku fashion, dancing and oversized toys, spread widely online and helped introduce her style outside Japan. The repeated pon pon hook became easy to recognise even for listeners who did not know the lyrics, so short clips kept circulating in fan edits, remixes and meme posts long after the original release, keeping the song tied to internet pop culture.
