Where does the “Po Pi Po” meme come from?

The song, lyrics, and original animation were produced by Lamaze-P using the Vocaloid software voice Hatsune Miku. It was uploaded under the title “【初音ミク】ぽっぴっぽー【本店だよ!!】” to the Japanese platform Nico Nico Douga on December 11, 2008. The quirky lyrics revolve around Miku vigorously endorsing green vegetable juice while singing the phonetic refrain “Po Pi Po.” Her continuous, alternating arm and knee movements quickly mesmerized viewers. The video prompted fans across the web to create covers, real-life dance tributes, and custom animations replacing Miku with diverse fictional characters.
