Odoru Ponpokorin Meaning & Lyrics (Ado)
Momoko Sakura writes about a shady old man popping out of a cooking pot and a comedian emerging from a telephone pole. One line translates to, ‘Edison was a great man, that’s just common sense,’ adding a humorous touch to the chaos. The narrator notes their hunger while the ‘ponpokorin’ dance takes over the scene.
