PIKOTARO and his wife TAMI deliver smiles to children around the world, with new English-language puppetry YouTube series ‘PIKO ST KIDS’!

Singer-songwriter and ‘PPAP’ star PIKOTARO has launched a new series titled ‘PIKO ST KIDS’ on his YouTube channel. The series ‘PIKO ST KIDS’ is a puppet show created by PIKOTARO and his wife TAMI, delivering fun songs, games and chat in English with the aim of bringing smiles to children all over the world. 

In the wake of the ongoing pandemic, parents have more time to interact at home with their children. However, as many of us continue to deal with working from home, there are times when we cannot spend quality time with the kids, and they in turn are spending more and more time enjoying video content on their tablets. PIKOTARO and TAMI hope to help out mums and dads around the world by offering fun, safe videos for their kids to enjoy via ‘PIKO ST KIDS’.

For example, episodes of the show will feature traditional Japanese nursery rhymes such as ‘Tulip’ and ‘Kisha Poppo’ sung by children in kindergarten, hand-gesture based rhymes like ‘Ookiku Nattara Nanni Narou’ (‘What Shall We Become When We Grow Up’), and games where kids raise red and white flags to learn their left and right – all of which can be enjoyed by children and their parents.

Just as PIKOTARO’s song ‘PPAP’ has been viewed all over the world on YouTube, his channel also delivers other videos featuring songs and conversation in English and Japanese that are suitable for children to enjoy.

On the launch of this new series, PIKOTARO commented, “Anytime, anywhere, I’ll be happy if this channel makes you smile.” Be sure to check it out below!
