Viral star Piko-Taro is ready to release his 25-song debut album “PPAP”

From breaking into the US Singles Charts to appearing in Sesame Street, renowned singer-songwriter and timeless pop icon Piko-Taro has surely been what we can call a viral sensation. Now, he is set to bless the people with his first CD after several digital singles! Titled “PPAP” and with December 7th as release date, this album will feature 25 songs whose themes vary from the drama of having a new Russian step-mother to the joy of being able to see darker with a pair of sunglasses, without forgetting the touching tale of a man with the obsession of sticking fruit and pens together.

As it’s usual in the Japanese market, the release will come in two editions: a regular CD-only edition and a limited CD+DVD edition. The DVD will feature 20 music videos plus 4 pieces of special footage, and the first press of it will feature special bonuses such as an apron resembling his costume and Piko-Taro stickers. This announcement comes just four days after the release of his newest creation, “Futamojime Mistake”, an exquisite, linguistic experimental track which skillfully develops into EDM in the second part. Check all the info about the release and his newest clip just after the jump!
