Pharrell Williams dropped another version of his insanely popular song "Happy", this time especially for the Japanese.

He flew to land of the rising sun and collaborated with friend and fashion designer Nigo, reported MTV.

While his original video had shots of seemingly random people dancing on the streets, this one has Japanese celebrities dancing against a plain white background.

Naturally, the clip opens with Pharell doing his thing before it cuts to various Japanese celebrities dancing and basically having a good time.

Among them are:
