Ahoy! The charismatic VTuber captain from Hololive, Houshou Marine, is returning to prime time in the much-anticipated 2024 FNS Music Festival! Scheduled to appear during the second night of the event on December 11th, Marine has chosen a song that’s making waves online—her daring new track, "Paipai Kamen de Dou Kashiran?" (How About Paipai Kamen?).
🛳️ Making Waves on the High Seas of TV
This marks Marine’s second appearance on the prestigious FNS Music Festival. Last year, she made history as the first-ever VTuber to perform on the show, leaving a lasting impression with her bold and entertaining performance. This year, she’s raising the stakes even higher with a song that’s as playful as it is provocative.
Marine’s latest single, released in September 2024, has already captured the hearts (and raised some eyebrows) of fans worldwide. Its cheeky, daring lyrics and infectious tune have sparked lively discussions across social media. Comments like, “She’s pushing boundaries again!” and “Can’t believe she’s doing ‘Paipai Kamen’ on live TV—it’s bold, but I love it!” showcase the mix of shock and admiration this choice has inspired.
🎭 What Is "Paipai Kamen de Dou Kashiran?"
For those unfamiliar with the song, "Paipai Kamen de Dou Kashiran?" is a playful and daring track that perfectly encapsulates Houshou Marine’s cheeky personality. The title, roughly translating to "How About Paipai Kamen?", is a clever wordplay that hints at its over-the-top humor.
The term "paipai" is a casual, slightly cheeky slang in Japanese for breasts, while "kamen" means "mask." Combined, the phrase evokes a playful, somewhat provocative superhero persona. True to Marine’s bold and comedic style, the song embraces this theme with lighthearted lyrics and a cheeky sense of fun.
With its catchy melodies and whimsical energy, the track blends humor and boldness in a way only Marine can pull off. Since its release in September 2024, it has quickly become a fan favorite, with many praising its creativity and infectious vibe. Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering her music, "Paipai Kamen" is a must-listen that showcases why Marine stands out in the world of VTubers.
