TOKYO: Japanese social media celebrity Pikotaro returned as a leading twitter trend in Japan with a COVID-19 hand washing song that repurposes his signature Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen to Pray-for-People-and-Peace.Advertisement

READ: Japan PM Shinzo Abe could declare state of emergency as early as Tuesday amid COVID-19 outbreak: Report Pikotaro, whose real name is Kazuhito Kosaka, wore the same gold animal print outfit he wore in PPAP video that went viral in 2016. His hand washing video, shorter than the 2016 two minute hit that the Guinness World Record listed as the shortest song to make it into the Billboard Hot 100 chart, had also been viewed a quarter of a million times on Youtube since it was uploaded on Saturday.
