おどるポンポコリン (Odoru Ponpokorin) Lyrics (English Translation) by Ado is a latest Japanese song in the voice of Ado. Its music is composed by 織田哲郎 (Tetsuro Oda) while brand new おどるポンポコリン (Odoru Ponpokorin) song lyrics are written by さくらももこ (Momoko Sakura).
There’s a cinematic slyness to Ado’s reinvention of おどるポンポコリン, dropped as a standalone single on December 29, 2025 with Universal/Virgin and serving as the new opening theme for ちびまる子ちゃん. It isn’t part of a full album but rides the momentum from Zanmu and Ado’s Best Adobum, feeling like a sharp cameo in her catalog.
Hyadain’s production leans into playful hooks and bell punctuations, looping like cartoon call‑and‑response, while crisp percussion snaps and bass thumps give weight to what could’ve been a novelty. Each ピーヒャラ roll hits like a frenetic riff, bright and infectious.
Vocally, Ado twists the melody into her expressive upper register; her staccato bursts on lines about dancing and whimsy recast the nostalgic B.B. Queens hit as her own. Playful yet razor‑focused, she turns the cover into a character piece in her ongoing genre-bending narrative.
Fans are looping clips on social media, blending childhood memories with Ado’s signature bite. The track captures her in full flight—honoring heritage material while keeping her raspy cadence front and center, a reminder of why her catalogue from Usseewa to Zanmu constantly reinvents itself.
おどるポンポコリン (Odoru Ponpokorin) (English Translation) Lyrics
[Intro]
(Oh, ha)
[Verse 1]
Everyone, everything
Is dancing
From inside the pot, suddenly
A fake old man appears
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll never forget
Edison was a great man
That’s common sense, Tattatararira
[Chorus]
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara A glimpse of a belly button
Tattatararira
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara Dancing Ponpokorin
Pihyara Pi I’m hungry
[Verse 2]
That girl and this girl, everyone
Is walking in a hurry
From behind the telephone pole
A comedian appears
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m never lost
Kiosks are inside the station
That’s famous, Tattatararira
[Chorus]
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara I don’t need carrots
Tattatararira
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara Dancing Ponpokorin
Pihyara Pi Piggy Pootaro
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll never forget
Edison was a great man
That’s common sense, Tattatararira
[Chorus]
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara A glimpse of a belly button
Tattatararira
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara Dancing Ponpokorin
Pihyara Pi I’m hungry (Ah, (Yeah)
Pihyara Pihyara Pappaparapa
Pihyara Pihyara, the dancing Ponpokorin
Pihyara Pi, I’m hungry! (Ah)
