Moshi Moshi

"Moshi Moshi" is a song by Poppy from her debut studio album Poppy.Computer. It is the fifth track on the album. The music video was released on November 10th, 2017 and currently has over 9 million views on YouTube.

Theme
"Moshi Moshi" is about being self-confident, with lyrics such as "I'm feelin' like a powerful girl" and "together we can take on the world". The chorus focuses on saying hello to a new day and being with a best friend. In the music video, it is shown that Poppy is her own best friend, being a metaphor for loving herself.

The song prominently draws influence from J-pop music, and the chorus contains two Japanese phrases. "Moshi moshi" is a greeting used when answering a phone call, while "hajime konnichiwa" translates to "hello, nice to meet you" in English and literally translates to "first hello", used when meeting someone for the first time.

In an interview with Genius, Poppy stated, "I wrote this song about Japan and about saying hello to your very best friend". Regarding the lyric "are you ready to get lost?", Poppy said that she likes to get lost in Japan, particularly in Akihabara.
