by the end, i was like, "omg! she's crazy! she can do anything!"
What boggles my mind is the free form stream of consciousness going on in the video. It's such a pure, spontanious expression of bubblegum cuteness, it transcends to the level of Zen. Zen is quiet and zen is noisy. Zen is doing whatever you do with your complete being.
Yes, even crazy dancing and singing girls have Buddha Nature.
Maybe at that cross walk, you all will start skipping
And maybe you’ll join hands and stare at the sky in the towns center
Maybe in this town, you can grasp that chance anywhere
I’m not crying so early in the day, I have no choice but to move forward, no no!
Pon pon! Go on ahead!
Isn’t it boring not to? There’s no reason!
I put on my headphones and bounce to the rhythm
Come my way way, down my path
Pon pon! Advance, all these various things
Are you beginning to listen to your feelings?
Poi poi! Cast aside whoever is the bad person
Yes, now, let us go. Aah you make me happy.
Everyday pon, everytime is pon
I want to ride a merry-go-round
Everyday pon, everytime pon
But maybe that isn’t a good idea
Pon pon! Go on ahead!

Maybe it’s really not so bad

i found another site that translated the "pon" as "clap" btw.
(that would also "explain" the clapping making slices of bread pop into existence. Well, maybe.)
I can't stop myself from liking this thing, although I've got no reason to like it, really. The sheer craziness speaks to me. Like I said, it's almost Zen in its craziness.
Maybe because it reminds me of my younger days, when videos like Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" took the media to an artform instead of just a marketing tool for the singer, like it is today.
