Harry Citradi is an amateur musician from Jakarta, Indonesia, who creates different songs and remixes under the moniker Heiakim. And while the "music producer wannabe" admits he can't sing, he scoops inspiration where others don't see it, thanks to his imagination.
Heiakim's "recipe" was quite easy: he put a text in English into the Google Translate app, picked the Japanese voice to read it out loud and then added a bit of music.
The Hotto Dogu song has already conquered hundreds of thousands of hearts and mind around the globe. Its "How To Make" video uploaded on YouTube has been watched more than 200k times and shared across different social platforms. By the way, the visuals are pretty fun too!
Judging by some comments, it seems to slowly embed itself into people's minds!

*mi cabeza* I LIKE HOTTO DOGU https://t.co/P4T0pmyT32
"Me: Ok, I have a thousand of things to do. My head: I LIKE HOTTO DOGU"
The song even inspired some guys from the Philippines to invent a Hotto Dogu dance and a challenge.
(If you liked it, there are also a four-minute and a ten-hour version of this song).
Harry has also something special for Taylor Swift's fans: he created an unusual remix for one of her latest songs "Look What You Made Me Do" by adding a verse performed by the same voice from Google Translate. The video, which you can check out below, already has more than half a million views.

"I'm laughing like an idiot because of this ahaha"
In one of his latest creations, the young musician turned Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise the Dancing Clown into a Singing Clown.
