比伯推薦的日本洗腦神曲PPAP創吉尼斯世界紀錄
A Japanese comedian's nonsense tune that became an Internet sensation after Justin Bieber recommended it has entered the Guinness World Records as the shortest song to break into the Billboard Hot 100.
經賈斯汀·比伯推薦後，日本一搞笑藝人的一首無意義的歌曲在網上走紅。由於它是進入美國公告牌百強單曲榜中最短的一首歌，還被載入吉尼斯世界紀錄。The video for the 45-second long "Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen" has been viewed more than 67 million times since hitting YouTube in August, going viral after pop giant Bieber tweeted it as his "favorite video on the Internet".
《Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen》(《PPAP》)的歌曲視頻時長爲45秒，在流行巨星比伯發推文稱這是他"最喜歡的網絡視頻"後走紅，自8月在YouTube上被髮布以來已被瀏覽超過6700萬次。
"I'm surprised by this sudden popularity," said the 53-year-old comedian, who goes by Pikotaro.
這名被稱爲Pico太郎的53歲搞笑藝人表示："這首歌突然走紅令我很驚訝。"
"Without Justin's impact, I think only four people would have showed up in this room," he joked.
他開玩笑道：“如果沒有賈斯丁·比伯的影響，我想可能只會有4個人會出現在這個直播間。”Last week, the song entered the US chart at No 77, marking the first time in 26 years that a Japanese singer moved into the Billboard Hot 100.
上週《PPAP》進入公告牌百強單曲榜，排名第77位，是26年來日本歌手首次進入該榜。The video features Pikotaro, dressed in his trademark garish animal print costume, dancing to nonsensical English lyrics such as "I have a pen. I have an apple. Apple pen."
Pico太郎在視頻中穿着標誌性的花哨動物花紋服裝，隨着"我有一支筆，我有一個蘋果，蘋果筆"這類不知所云的英文歌詞跳舞。But despite the global sensation, Pikotaro told reporters that his life had not changed at all since the song became "a worldwide phenomenon" last month.
儘管引起了全球轟動，但Pico太郎在接受記者採訪時表示，雖然上個月這首歌成爲了“一個世界性的現象”，但是他的生活一點都沒有改變。
