【海外オタク】ロスのアニメエキスポで邦楽について聞いてみた (Also on YouTube)
I went to Anime Expo on last Friday and made a little video where I asked people (mostly people dressed as けいおん！ ! (K-ON!) or VOCALOID characters…) what their favorite 邦楽 (hougaku) is. The answers may surprise you.

Nanairo no Nico Nico Douga
Written by Jeshii on 2009.06.11 – 00:30 -
【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?!)

What any of this has to do with the Tartar Straight, I’ll never know.
Written by Jeshii on 2009.04.22 – 23:05 -鳥羽一郎 (Toba Ichirou) has an 演歌 (enka) song called 「韃靼海峡」 (“Dattan Kaikyou“). It’s just another 演歌 song you’d never thing twice about… that is, unless someone at NicoDou gets their hands on it…
He’s no IKZO, but I ワロタｗｗｗ.

Nights of Get Down?!
Written by Jeshii on 2009.01.01 – 15:04 -Captain’s Log, Unix Timestamp 1230819859… We are in a stalemate with the ナイト・オブ・ナイツ and ゲッダン☆ ships. Any one of us has enough firepower to destroy any other one of us… but not both. Whoever DoS attacks first will be assured destruction. Of course, as a member of the United Federation of Cyberspacez, I am sworn by an oath to peace, non-trolling, and use of SYN packets solely for valid connections. I hope this will be the one thing that saves us all.
“Captain, the enemy ships are moving toward each other!”
“This is it, if they attack each other, we will be able to escape without harm. Looks like we did the right thing to…”
“Captain! The ships are… merging!!!”
“?!”
“They’re performing a meme merger!!!”
“On screen, Ensign.”
“Yessir!”
“Impossible!”
“Captain! They are beginning to multiply…”

“We are getting a /talk.”
“Open the private channel.”
“We are the ナイト・オブ・ゲッダン. All Your Base Are Belong To Us. Your memealogical distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.”
“Dear God…”
“Captain! Orders?”
“Get us out of here, Ensign! MAX BANDWIDTH!”

Nico Year In Review: 2008
Written by Jeshii on 2008.12.31 – 15:00 -No, I’m not going to talk about the new features, version updates, legal battles, or any of that today. My ニコニコ動画 (NicoNicoDouga) Year in Review is solidly about the videos. Though I really didn’t start watching ニコ動 (NicoDou) until this year and 2007 also had some fantastic videos, I’m sticking to 2008 videos only! So, without further ado, here are my favorite top 13 nicovideos of the year! 13?! Yeah, I just couldn’t get it down to 10! XD
13.
【ニコニコ動画】【手書き】初音ミクの消失-DEAD END-【PV】
This 初音ミク song was one of my personal favorites. It’s so sad, but just so well done.
The ゆっくり (Yukkuri) boom seems to have peaked and passed, but 2008 was fairly dominated by ゆっくり videos. Check out how many there are.
11.
【ニコニコ動画】☆ゲッダン☆
ゲッダン came up late in the game, but I have to say, I still can’t believe it. And I love it.
10.
【ニコニコ動画】初音ミク が オリジナル曲を歌ってくれたよ「ワールドイズマイン」
ワールドイズマイン was almost the best 初音ミク song of the year, if not for メルト kicking ass and taking names all over the world. Some of the ワールドイズマイン original drawing versions are pretty amazing, but that’s probably just cause the song is so good.
9.
【ニコニコ動画】さんぽ
This version of さんぽ (Sampo) from となりのトトロ (Tonari no Totoro) has so many Ghibli characters and crazy instruments, you can’t help but just feel warm and fuzzy while watching it.
8.
【ニコニコ動画】メルト-Band Edition-女性キーVer-歌ってみました。by歌和サクラ
メルト and ティッシュ姫 really rocked the charts this year. It is only fitting to have the fusion of the two. メルト technically came along in Dec. of 2007… Actually, so did ティッシュ姫. But, since they both had their heyday in 2008, I’ll forgive ‘em.
7.
【ニコニコ動画】[修造]ホットリックス リローデッド[MAD]
When I saw this scene in the theaters, I remember hyperventilating over how amazing it was. So when they added the 松岡修造 voice overs, I almost died. Good show!
6.
【ニコニコ動画】チルノのパーフェクトさんすう教室(高画質・高音質版)H264
チルノのパーフェクトさんすう教室 (Chiruno no Paafekuto Sansuu Kyoushitsu) was the star of IOSYS for 2008. The remixes are fantastic and so is the original. Good job guys!
Various ナイト・オブ・ナイツ remixes ruled the end of this year. This is my favorite by far.
This cat. Brilliant to teach their cat to do that. When it gets stuck in the box, I died. I am but a ghost now. Heard the previous one of the series was pretty big on YouTube as well. (Series?!)
3.
【ニコニコ動画】M.C.ドナルドはダンスに夢中なのか？最終鬼畜道化師ドナルド・Ｍ
This video is fantastic for a lot of reasons. Now that I’m more into the 東方 Project, this makes way more sense than the first time I saw it on BoingBoing. This is definitely the world’s favorite nicovideo.
2.
【ニコニコ動画】VOCALOIDでニコニコ動画流星群【完成版】
This video introduced me to the ニコニコ動画流星群, and kept me coming back to ニコ動 for a long time. I listened to it so much, when I hear the original songs, I expect the next song to come up. I had to even stop listening to it, I was so obsessed. So this wins #2 hands down. Too bad it isn’t…
1.
【ニコニコ動画】吉幾三×Capsule×DaftPunk×BeastieBoys StarrySky – IKZOLOGIC Remix -
This song singlehandedly changed my life. It made me go to ニコ動 to listen to it. I got the “logic” for the end of Yamatologic from it. I still believe this is the pinnacle of human evolution. So, there is no question that it is the top of my 2008 list.
Happy New Year everyone! I can’t wait to see what 2009 has to bring!

Get Down!
Written by Jeshii on 2008.12.04 – 08:00 -
I love the internet. I mean, one little thing will get uploaded and then it seems to just spawn off into something completely different.
This is an excellent case study. So, if you didn’t put your GoldenEye N64 cartridge in all the way and played, the characters (and any model really) would just go crazy. Think human static, limbs flailing in all directions.
Then, someone did a MAD video of it to the song “Promise” by 広瀬香美 (Hirose Koumi).
THEN, someone just did a 2ちゃん cat instead of the models.
THEN, someone made 初音ミク do it.
THEN, someone drew it with a 東方プロジェクト character.
THEN, someone danced it for REAL.
…and then someone mixed it with 吉幾三…
And this blog post fulfills the life cycle. It can now die.
