Los Angeles-based YouTube star and singer Poppy first rose to fame on the back of her android-esque behavior and abstract commentary on the social media age. In October, she dropped her debut album Poppy.Computer via Diplo’s Mad Decent label, featuring the standout track “Moshi Moshi (もしもし).” The song’s title is the Japanese word for “hello,” and Poppy explained how Japan inspired the track.

“My favorite thing to say is, ‘moshi moshi,’ and when you answer the telephone you say, ‘moshi moshi.’ In the music video I pretend to talk on the phone. ‘Hajime konnichiwa’ means ‘nice to meet you, hello,” she tells Genius. “I like to get lost in Japan, and particularly Akihabara. There’s lots of technology.”

Poppy recently sat down with Genius for the latest episode of Verified and broke down her track. Watch her go line-for-line with “Moshi Moshi (もしもし)” in the video above, and check out past episodes, too.
