Creepy Nuts' "Otonoke" Music Video Surpasses 100 Million Views on YouTube, A First for a Music Video Featuring the Duo

The music video for "Otonoke," released in 2024 by Creepy Nuts, has surpassed 100 million views on YouTube. This is the first time a music video featuring the duo has reached the 100 million mark.

"Otonoke" was written as the opening theme for the TV anime 'Dandadan.' The music video, directed by video creator Masaki Watanabe, garnered significant attention for its chaotic worldview created through innovative video techniques.

Having become a global hit, the song was selected as the "Most Streamed Japanese Song Overseas" in the 2025 year-end rankings by Billboard JAPAN and Spotify. It has also received gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and is nominated in three categories—"Best Japanese Song in Europe," "Best Japanese Song in North America," and "Best Japanese Song in South America"—at the "MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026," which will hold its award ceremony this weekend.

Creepy Nuts performed at the "Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2026" in the U.S. this April. Furthermore, they continue to expand their presence both domestically and internationally, having successfully completed their first-ever North American tour, "Creepy Nuts NORTH AMERICA TOUR 2026."

Starting in September, they are scheduled to perform as a special guest at 11 shows on the Asia leg of global artist The Weeknd's global stadium tour. The tour's Japan performances, the first in seven years, have generated significant buzz, with additional dates announced following an immediate sell-out of tickets.
