10.

Although Bad Apple didn’t even warrant a real entry from me this year (it did get a twitter update however), it was pretty much the biggest video of this year. I give it 10 for being awesome, but way overplayed.

9.

There was a major RED ZONE explosion around early Feb. They are all awesome, but Shuzo has a special place in my heart (Although the K-ON! one was pretty close).

8.

This Cirno video was very influential this year. My two favorite mads off this one were the Shuzo one and the K-ON! one (apparently I have very particular tastes).

7.

The Training-type MADs were all the rage, but this one closed the book on them. It was perfect. If you aren’t an Eva fan, then I apologize.

6.

2009 saw the birth of Hammer Day, which is the 11th of every single month. This was the last by the original Hammer Guy and still the best IMHO.

5.

K-ON! was another big part of 2009, and this was the MAD that I couldn’t turn off. It’s just too brilliant.

4.

I personally started watching Haruhi this year, so when I first saw this video, I had no idea who any of these people were (but I loved the video). Now, at the end of 2009, I have seen everything and am anxiously awaiting the movie.

3.

The Family Mart chime remix fad was started by this video. I couldn’t stop listening to it. Simple and shows you a little bit of how to use a KORG to make amazing music.

2.

The last しも (Shimo) medley video practically introduced me to NicoNicoDouga and essentially prompted me to start this blog. This one, which came out in June, was more like a review of my time on NicoNicoDouga. The joy was unspeakable, and so this takes #2.

1.

While it may look like I’m tooting my own horn here, this remix of our video pretty much crippled me with laughter. By far the most enjoyment I got out of a video this year. Thank you みすとん！

Honorable Mention:

The 韃靼海峡 (Dattan Kaikyou) based MADs were excellent before they started getting deleted. Totally would have made the top 10 if not for that.

The fun never ends. This remix of Cirno’s Perfect Math Class is flipping amazing. ジョン・カビラ (Jon Kapira) of Winning Eleven lends his voice to this one, and the results are just beyond words.

【ニコニコ動画】七色のニコニコ動画
It’s here. After a slew of imitators, the true successor to the ニコニコ流星群 is here. Yes, my friends, right now, NicoDou is celebrating the release of the next megamix. 七色のニコニコ動画 (Nanairo no NicoNicoDouga) is here.

This is my first real megamix since getting into NicoDou hardcore. I love the 流星群, since that gave me the jump start I needed to get into in the first place, but this one… It is like a summary of my last year of NicoLife. I’ve featured a number of these songs on the blog over the last year, although not all of them! Can you believe that this blog will be one whole year old in just over 2 months?! WTF.

I have a list of the songs after the jump, minus the HEROES section (the section of chaos from 9:40 to 11:10) since really you could just go to the 流星群 for those songs. If you are a experienced ニコ厨 (NicoChuu), listen to it before you check the list below. See how many you recognize! If you are new to NicoDou, this is a great way to catch up! XD

(BTW, as for the English name, I would call it Rainbow Colored NicoNicoDouga if I were in charge, but a few places seem to already be translating it as “7 Colors of Nico Nico Douga.” I hate translation. 日本語バンザイ！ Oh, and as always, if you don’t have a NicoDou account, why not?!)

#1: ブラック★ロックシューター

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyB4gLFF-Xw

Never featured Black Rock Shooter, but after going to Burning Man, I have to admit I liked this song better.

#2: Heavenly Star

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL2od1AF_Cs

I was hooked on this song for a while. The MADs for this one are AMAZING.

#3: Do-dai

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X92KotmP4Ks

I’m not a huge Idolm@ster fan, but I’ve been known to like a song here and there. This is not one of them…

#4: みwなwぎwっwてwきwたwww（篠笛禁断症状L5）

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHcI5xXx9Vs

This one is just silly. I featured a video with this song previously in my whimsical 4/20 post.

#5: Under My Skin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsq6QgE5YHg

This is from a Lucky Star remix of Paffendorf feat. Leyla de Vaar’s Under My Skin (the Jens O. Remix). This is one of those videos you can’t avoid if you ever look for Lucky Star videos on NicoDou.

#6: ナイト・オブ・ナイツ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPqSkzBT4QM

Night of Nights? Night of Knights? I dunno. But what I can tell you is that this song shows up everywhere. The first time I heard it was on the Softbank remix. Definitely one of the biggest songs since the last しも mix.

#7: ダンシング☆サムライ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sONjNT4H2tI

lol, this song makes me happy every time I hear it. This is one of the most famous of the がくっぽいど (Gakuppoido) songs. がくっぽいど (or がくぽ for short) is a Vocaloid pack that sounds like Gackt.

#8: サンドキャニオン

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW6vVRF-MmA

If it surprises you that their is a Kirby song in here… well… I’m sorry. This song has been remixed to death. I mean, if you look up サンドキャニオン on YouTube, all you get are remixes. I literally cannot find the original. I chose my favorite for the YouTube above.

#9: スカイハイ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyOYKsUEBp0

Everything I said about the Sand Canyon Kirby song above goes double for this one…

#10: ポップスター

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e097gE60RMo

…and this one…

#11: Got The Groove

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zbiLjwYSPY

This one I actually missed until fairly recently. I’m super happy it got into the remix. If you can’t read it, it says “I want to die.” Put that with flashing lights and techno music, you have a classic NicoDou hit.

#12: 亡き王女の為のセプテット

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcsWt_WRbcc

This is a 東方 (Touhou) song that doesn’t get remixed as much as say, ナイト・オブ・ナイツ, which is exactly why I really don’t know it all that well.

#13: Bad Apple!! feat.nomico

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GIMgD_gShU

I love this song. It’s basically a 東方 song with lyrics. But it’s addictive! No remix necessary.

#14: 俺ら東京さ行ぐだ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=–dl-mtFObE

This song has a very special place in my heart, so I was thrilled to hear it in the mix.

#15: RAINBOW GIRL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBnAZ9oFtwY

I missed this song all together. Oh well, even I can’t see everything! Good song though!

#16: Starry Sky

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9MCbsdCLhI

This remix of Starry Sky, and subsequently the IKZO remix, are the very reason this blog is called Yamatologic. So I am thrilled to hear it made the cut. But how could it not!

#17: Hello Windows

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml_eZPDEEms

Hello Windows is a song made with Windows default sound files. Brilliant. I never really realized this was a NicoDou original… or maybe it isn’t. But as a Mac guy, I never even thought to feature this one. Okay, I’m only half-serious there. Although, I would be willing to bet that it spawned the meme of remixing songs with Windows sounds.

#18: 最強パレパレード

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6vaE2MJ-Aw

A song from the ハルヒ radio show? I don’t know really. Apparently, this song out otakus me.

#19: 空

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd3qzoBFURs

A very solid Idolmaster song, but again, not one that I was big on.

#20: celluloid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StIc3YmP3xQ

A 初音ミク (Hatsune Miku) song that I missed. I admit it. A little lower tempo than I generally like.

#21: 初音ミクの消失

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4t91rScdSc

This song is so sad. I remember the first time I heard it, I nearly cried! This was featured in my 2008 Year in Review as my second favorite Vocaloid song.

#22: ライオン

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIuJFMMuwhk

I didn’t even have to watch マクロスF to have this song in my face wherever I went on the ‘nets. Pretty typical anime song if you ask me.

#23: 星間飛行

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6rxMjclVMw

I thought this was from Idolmaster for the longest time. It’s actually another song from マクロスF. The chick jumps out of a mech and puts on a concert in a battle zone to this song. I think this shows the whole 萌え (moe) in mecha anime issue fairly well. Silliness and everything that is wrong with anime.

That being said, I like the song. The whole キラッ☆ thing was spoofed in various places and all the attractive girls dancing to this song can’t be overlooked. The fans ate it up. This song is a phenomenon.

#24: ニホンノミカタ～ネバダカラキマシタ～

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tYi4cNhQZw

Oh man. This was one of the more amazing songs in recent history. Well, it isn’t much without the I was obsessed with this one for a while, but I can’t remember if I posted about it (maybe I avoided it cause it was all over Japan Probe or something). Needless to say, brilliant. DJ OZMA needs a freaking award for this shiz.

#25: Promise

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrTqNYf58i4

I mean, yes, technically this means Promise by 広瀬香美 (Hirose Koumi) is in the mix, but the reason for it is the brilliant GET DOWN video.

#26: 魂のルフラン

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2shoPNQ_xMI

An Evangelion song. It has been popular since the late 90′s. I can’t really explain how it is possible that it can still be possible. Nope.

#27: ワールドイズマイン

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDWf-pPYNCw

My favorite Vocaloid song of 2008.

#28: おてんば恋娘

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wFDWP5JwSM

Again, technically this is おてんば恋娘 (Otemba Koimusume), but the REAL reason this song is included is チルノのパーフェクトさんすう教室, which I have featured too many times by now.

As you can probably see, there are also a few other arrangements of this song…

#29: TOWN

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8ViVSFIvNE

Also known as てってってー (Tettettei), this is just background music from parts of Idolmaster. But from such humble beginning, it became a remix sensation.

#30: ぽっぴっぽー

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjhHn0SV2ZQ

You know you want to drink 初音ミク’s juice. Wow, that sounds really dirty when said outloud.

#31: 溝ノ口太陽族

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7SvKNHFUrw

lol, this show looks pretty awesome, but I can’t say I’ve ever heard of it until now.

#32: 崖の上のポニョ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K287ArocBaY

The big ジブリ (“Ghibli”) movie of last year was about the fish child.

#33: 伯方の塩

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GSgeyVIP24

This is the perfect example of what happens on NicoDou. Take one random commercial and remix ad infinitum.

#34: smooooch・∀・

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6s0HK-pKj0

Unfortunately, no one can be told what smooooch・∀・ is. You have to see it for yourself.

#35: ダブルラリアット

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2SvTRimous

The 巡音ルカ song that beat out all the others. Brilliant video too.

#36: ってゐ！～えいえんてゐVer～

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHV_btBupms

ってゐ is hard to put into ローマ字 (rouma ji) but I would do ‘Tei personally. Anyway, awesome song and video. 東方 kicked a lot of ass this time around.

#37: 炉心融解

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7iDI8LUKEw

This song was at the top of the charts longer than just about anything. #26 in terms of all time views at this point. Amazing.

#38: おジャ魔女カーニバル!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr9iMZI3YBU

Mix silly kids dancing to that frog song with an anime opening and you get another one of the most popular videos of the last year. I love how they call that one kid “Young Gates.” This internet is for silly.

I could see my brother and I doing something like this 15 years ago… probably a good thing you couldn’t easily put video on the internet at that time… (-.-;)

#39: 青く燃える炎

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r51kCLi0jyE

Prince of Tennis. One of the first NicoDou videos ever. Yeah. I’m done with this one.

#40: ザ・レギュラー

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2awyJNa4iBk

More Prince of Tennis musical. ;__;

#41: ハンマー状態

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tIC9Oftva4

YES. You know I’m happy about this one.

#42: RED ZONE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnEWXJl0T5w

This is definitely the part of the mix that I liked best.

#43: Don’t say “lazy”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1o2xxyKdP4

Even though けいおん！ is pretty recent, I’m glad しも took the time to add this one to it.

#44: Reach Out To The Truth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzFl6sWHmXI

I missed P4, but this goes out to ピーちゃん. ^^;

Thanks to Pikayan for a lot of help in getting the links to these videos. The NicoNicoPedia helped a lot with the names and 元ネタ (moto neta).

There are lots of versions out there of this out there now a week later:

I can’t stop listening to this song. Basically, some one did a metal arrangement for チルノのパーフェクトさんすう教室. This version is a vocal version done by Gero. It’s amazing. I really can’t stop listening to it. Makes we want to do this in karaoke so bad. XD

If you aren’t familiar with Hammer Day, it is the 11th of every month. On Hammer Day, there is a new Hammer video that is uploaded. The entries up until now are after the jump.

Hammer Day began on January 11th with a simple ナイト・オブ・ナイツ remix, but it was hardly a remix. No one really thought much of Hammer at this point.

February’s Hammer Day brought us this, which was the first one I saw. It brought Hammer to a new level, and inspired the cry, “Why didn’t you do this last time?” and began the RED ZONE fad in force.

March brought us a Cirno Remix:

April’s Hammer Day revealed the SNOW GOOSE はやり (hayari) that was going around and made it so people started to look forward to Hammer Day with glee.

And now the last. まるで「謎の感動」ですね。 Happy Hammer Day!!!

Man, I dunno what is in the air recently, but there is a lot of チルノ (Chiruno) videos going around recently. Figured I’d update ya’ll on some of them, after the jump! The one above seems to be from a non-IOSYS version of the チルノ song, おてんば恋娘 (otemba koimusume). The thing that is the clincher on this one is that チルミル is a baby formula with DHA, to make them smarter… pimped by Cirno, known to be the バカ⑨ of the 東方 universe. Then there is something about her eating frogs… Don’t make me explain everything! XD (Okay, that’s based on the whole things where she freezes frogs when she’s bored… there, I’m done.)

Of course, the majority of the Cirno related videos are based off the IOSYS joint, チルノのパーフェクトさんすう教室。

If you are down with 千葉滋賀佐賀, then you’ll like this remix:

【ニコニコ動画】ニッポンのパーフェクトでステキな都道府県教室【千⑧!④賀!③賀!】

Mixed with the Hammer from Smash Bros (which you may remember from HAMMER ZONE). This one is particularly meme heavy, including both 松岡修造 and IKZO:

【ニコニコ動画】ハンマーのパーフェクト力入れた教室

Here is an obligatory cute girl dancing to the song, since a good number of you visit this site looking for Japanese girls (not that I blame you):

A rock cover of おてんば恋娘 that actually pre-dates the IOSYS one. Good song and a cute video:

A new IOSYS arrangement CD is coming out on the 8th! And that can only mean one thing! A new promotional video! This one is about the hellishly ultimate 焼肉 (yakiniku) restaurant, based on the song 死体旅行　～ Be of good cheer!. The CD is called 東方超都魔転 (Touhou Choutomatten). The English title is “Toho just a moment!” Until I read that, I didn’t get the pun. ><;

Not much to say about this one... probably will take me a few weeks to process all the jokes. Poor チルノ (Chiruno) gets melted at one point. ;;

It is called 東方氷雪歌集 (Touhou Hyousetsu Kashuu) The new single is チルノのパーフェクトさんすう教室 (Chiruno no Paafekuto Sansuu Kyoushitsu, “Cirno’s Perfect Math Class”). The flash version can be seen on the special site.

Once again, Miko shows us he awesome vocal skills. I love this song already. Now, if I can just figure out how to order it from the US… Hmmmm…
