The Japan Times reports President Donald Trump will be entertained during his official visit next week by PPAP singer Pikotaro during a dinner party hosted by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Pikotaro is close to the heart of President Trump, as his granddaughter Arabella was featured performing her version of the hit song “Pen-Pineapple- Apple-Pen” in a video shared by her mother Ivanka Trump last year.
Arabella’s official version of PPAP:
In April of 2017 the Japan Embassy in DC shared this special version of the song celebrating Japan and America as best friends.
“Pen-Best Friend-Pen!” Piko Taro had a message & a song for everyone enjoying our @CherryBlossFest reception! @pikotaro_ppap #PPAP pic.twitter.com/WiFXBpNy8e
