Global phenomenon PIKOTARO has released his super-energetic new song “Hoppin’ Flappin'” to encourage home exercise while people are indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Get your lazy body movin’ with these jumps!” The performer also includes a warning to everyone who’s ready to try his crazy moves in their own homes: “When you jump, please make sure to be in safe surroundings.”
