Peace Pose with Friends (Male Ver.)Popuko (CV: Jun Ōsuga), Pipimi (CV: Hiroki Takahashi)

Watch “Friendly Peace (Male Ver.) Popuko (CV: Jun Oosuga) Pipimi (CV: Hiroki Takahashi)” on YouTube

What is this melody that, once you hear it, you just can’t get it out of your head? It’s the ending theme of the second season of the anime Pop Team Epic, which became a hot topic for its eccentric and surreal gags and its unprecedented structure of using the same footage for parts A and B while only changing the main voice actors.

The song is performed by the protagonists Popuko and Pipimi, but since the voice actors change every episode, there are as many versions of the song as there are episodes.

So be sure to look for your favorite version!
