Dondake?! Transvestite TV-star IKKO releases single

Transvestite make-up artist IKKO, who shot into TV stardom this year while popularizing the phrase “dondake!” (meaning, approximately, “what!”) will debut as a singer with the single “Dondake no housoku,” the Sankei Sports reported on Thursday.

The song is a song cheering for the plain and ugly girls, with lyrics about how anybody can turn into a butterfly if they try hard enough. Naturally, the phrase “dondake” will also be sung repeatedly.

The single will also include a cover of “Dou ni mo tomaranai,” a 1972 hit song. originally performed by Linda Yamamoto.
