World Order, Dempagumi Inc., More Do the Pikachu Dance

The dancing Pikachu's invasion is going beyond Yokohama and taking over YouTube. "Odoru? Pikachū Tairyō Hassei-chū!" (Dance? Pikachu All Over the Place) was already endorsed by enthusiastic otaku and Pokémon Get TV host Shokotan. Now music groups like Dempagumi.inc. (Punch Line) and the dapper dressed World Order are getting in on the fun.

Pikachu will invade venues around Yokohama's Minato Mirai district from August 8-16. There will be at least 1,000 Pikachu marching and dancing. Organizers state the flood of Pokémon will make the area like a Pikachu theme park.
