Good afternoon guys, I'm Melissa here. Do you guys still remember me, last week I posted about PPAP? I said before that I will upload the funny video that I have made. Today, a kind-hearted person come and taught us how to upload videos in Steemit. His tutorial was fun and easy to understand. (

Above is the video made by the boys from my home called Yayasan Sunbeams Home. They really did it without feeling a shame, this was their inspiration for believing the funny video can make people more happier.
Above was one of the videos that made by the girls from my home including myself. After seeing the boy's video, my friends and I decided to do the same things as them. We did it two times and it was successful.
The song originated as a music video released on YouTube on 25 August 2016. In the video, Pikotaro, dressed in a yellow snake/leopard animal print costume, dances around, and then sings English lyrics like "I have a pen, I have an apple. Uh, apple pen" while making the gestures of holding the named items and pushing them together. The video's expense was about 100,000 yen. On 26 September, Pikotaro released a video on how to do the dance and the gestures. On 27 October, Pikotaro posted a "long version" of the music video. On 17 November, Pikotaro made an appearance on the Japanese edition of Sesame Street, where he joined Elmo and Cookie Monster in singing their version of the song titled "CBCC (Cookie-Butter-Choco-Cookie)".

The video accumulated about 1 million hits in its first month of play. Kosaka remarked it was most popular among Japanese students. On 27 September 2016, Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber shared the video on Twitter, captioning it as his "favorite video on the Internet". The video had since gone viral, averaging over 1.5 million hits a day, and being touted as the new "Gangnam Style" by various newspapers and online media. It has spawned many videos from people doing their own versions. On the YouTube music video charts, it reached number 1 and stayed there for three weeks in a row. Information source
The song debuted at number four on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 dated 22 October 2016. The following week it climbed to number three and the week after that it peaked at number two. After dropping to number three, it topped the chart for the 14 November edition. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States at number 77, and at 45 seconds in length, became the shortest song to chart in its history. The previous shortest song was "Little Boxes" by The Womenfolk, which reached number 83 in 1964 and was 1 minute and 2 seconds in length. The fact was recognized by the Guinness World Records. The song has since reappeared twice more, at number 82 for the week of November 26, and 93 the week of December 3. Information source
