PPAP, short for Pen Pineapple Apple Pen, was released in 2016 by Japanese comedian Daimaou Kosaka performing as the character PIKOTARO in a leopard print outfit. The video was uploaded to YouTube and spread worldwide after its repetitive lyrics and dance were shared widely on social media, including a notable boost when Justin Bieber called it his favorite video. It later charted internationally and became one of the defining viral songs of that year. The short intro remains popular because it instantly signals the full routine in just a few seconds.

PPAP intro from PIKOTARO's Pen Pineapple Apple Pen viral song, the catchy opening beat and vocal hook people use for meme edits and funny reveals.
This clip captures the opening seconds of PPAP, built around a bouncy electronic beat and PIKOTARO's playful, deadpan delivery as he sets up the pen and fruit premise. The rhythm is simple and repetitive, with bright synth hits that make the start instantly recognisable even before the main hook lands. It feels cheerful and slightly absurd, turning an ordinary object pairing into a musical punchline. Viewers hear it and immediately expect something silly to follow, which is why the intro works as a cue for parody, anticipation, and lighthearted surprise.
