Pinpon Ga Nannai

**Pinpon ga Nannai** is the fifth song in Kyary's first Extended Play, Moshi Moshi Harajuku. The meaning of this song is debated to be many different things, but based on the lyrics, it seems like a love song, with a constant string of cooking metaphors. The name translates to "The doorbell doesn't ring," in English, which symbolizes that Kyary is waiting for her love to return to her house.

## Background and Release

The song was appreciated by many when it was first released in Moshi Moshi Harajuku. For many though, it was partially ignored for Pon Pon Pon. It was suspected to return to the stores by being included in KPP Best like Cherry Bonbon, but this never happened, resulting in a few of the fans to be disappointed, but they quickly changed their opinions about the album.

It is also one of Kyary's songs about romance.

## Lyrics

**English**

I’m not always like this, but
Every now and then I feel this way
I take my heavy bag in hand
And pedal my bicycle down the hilly road
I get out my gigantic ladle
Go ahead and get all my different things ready
Then I wait for you to come back home, but
The doorbell just doesn’t ring

It’s like how fatty
A bubbling stew is
You wouldn’t be able to tell in one look, but
It gets really tasty when you put your heart into it
I type out a text to you, but
There’s no reply from you at all
Before my fickle feelings cool down
Come home to me (the doorbell doesn’t ring)
Come home to me (the doorbell doesn’t ring)

What do you want me to put in it after I’ve added
The cabbage, carrots, wheat flour
Potatoes, onion, parsley
Butter, and cream of mushroom?
Salt and pepper in the soup wine
And don’t forget the bacon
I wait for you to come back home, but
The doorbell just doesn’t ring

It’s like how fatty
A bubbling stew is
You wouldn’t be able to tell in one look, but
It gets really tasty when you put your heart into it
I type out a text to you, but
There’s no reply from you at all
Before my fickle feelings cool down
Come home to me (the doorbell doesn’t ring)
Come home to me (the doorbell doesn’t ring)

It’s like how fatty
A bubbling stew is
You wouldn’t be able to tell in one look, but
It gets really tasty when you put your heart into it
I type out a text to you, but
There’s no reply from you at all
Before my fickle feelings cool down
Come home to me (the doorbell doesn’t ring)
Come home to me (the doorbell doesn’t ring)

It’s like how fatty
A bubbling stew is
You wouldn’t be able to tell in one look, but
It gets really tasty when you put your heart into it
I type out a text to you, but
There’s no reply from you at all
Before my fickle feelings cool down
Come home to me (the doorbell doesn’t ring)
Come home to me (the doorbell doesn’t ring)

Come home to me (the doorbell doesn’t ring)…
The doorbell doesn’t ring

 いつもそうでもないけど
たまにこんな気分なの
重たい袋をさげて
坂道自転車をこぐ
大きめのオタマ出して
色々準備進めて
キミの帰りを待つけど
なかなかピンポンがなんない

コトコト煮込んだシチューの
ぽってり具合と似てるの
一目だと見てもわかんない
心を込めておいしくなるの
ぴぽぴぽメールを打つけど
ぜんぜん返信がないの
気まぐれあたしの気持ちが
だんだんと冷めてしまう前に
帰ってきてね (ピンポンなんない)
帰ってきてね (ピンポンなんない)

キャベツ ニンジン 小麦粉
ジャガイモ タマネギ パセリ
バター 牛乳に キノコ
あとはなにを入れたいの?
スープ ワインに 塩こしょう
忘れないでねベーコン
キミの帰りを待つけど
なかなかピンポンがなんない

コトコト煮込んだシチューの
ぽってり具合と似てるの
一目だと見てもわかんない
心を込めておいしくなるの
