Perry loves the Japanese culture including the iconic gaming franchise and was seen at The Pokémon Café on her last trip to Japan in 2019. The pop star has traveled to Japan at least once a year since she was 17 and is excited to be involved in a project close to Japanese gaming culture.
Perry’s favorite Pokémon character was the adorable electric Pokémon known as Pikachu and is excited to be apart of the 25th-anniversary celebration. There are limited details about the new P25 Music collaboration for global activations throughout 2021.
