The running gag of this techno pop song, is "1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 222222222, 3, 2, 1, Hiiiii~" with the feel of an adorable, fast-moving hyper amusement facility (?), like a clockwork mini theater.
 
Underneath the warm melody is some kind of surreal world, where vigorous drums pound out high-octane beats.
