【ニコニコ動画】チルミルチルノPV 恋のミクル伝説/おてんば恋娘 H.264高画質 (Short animated version)
【ニコニコ動画】C.M.C F (Full version of the song, minus animation)
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.)

Rin’s Ultimate Yakiniku Restaurant from HELL!

【ニコニコ動画】究極焼肉レストラン！お燐の地獄亭！(高画質・高音質版)H264
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. ;;
Enjoy!

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!

The SmileVideo Meteor Shower
Written by Jeshii on 2008.09.18 – 12:00 -Say you want to go to DENPA 電刃, that crazy ヲタク (otaku) dance party in Tokyo (as seen on TOKYOMANGO), but you are way behind on your NicoNico culture? Well, this is your chance to study up!
Basically, there is a compilation of popular NicoNico Music called ニコニコ動画流星群 (niko niko douga ryuuseigun, NicoNicoDouga Meteor Shower), as it is a blast of popular songs on ニコ動 in quick succession:
There are a few versions:
1. The original:
3. Orchestrated:
4. With the original songs remixed:
5. Like above but more chaotic:
And below (after the jump) I have compiled a list of (almost) every one of these songs in order! Title linked to ニコニコ動画 and YouTube embeds. Enjoy!

IOSYS or Productive Fandom?
Written by Jeshii on 2008.09.11 – 18:05 -
IOSYS is a music/art group that makes some awesome videos that are pretty popular on 2-chan and ニコニコ動画 (niconico douga). I think the videos are generally flash, but then they get put on YouTube and such.
Probably the one that I encountered first was 魔理沙は大変なものを盗んでいきました (Marisa wa taihen-na mono wo nusunde ikimashita). Marisa is a character from the 東方Project (Touhou Project). IOSYS generally just uses characters from Team Shanghai Alice games to make their songs/videos.
Strange connection to recently news in 魔理沙は大変なものを盗んでいきました (which has been around for a while)… at around 1:43 she says 「あなたとはちがうから」 which was echoed by 福田’s whole あなたとはちがうんです thing. The comments on the ニコニコ動画 version reflect this. XD
Before I knew about this one, someone had already used the song to remix an episode of my old video podcast Yamato Damacy. Originally a 15 minute short film, this is the MAD (remix) version:
I laughed so hard the first time I saw that, I thought I was going to die. So when I found out what the song was in the background, I was already hooked.
Anyway, IOSYS will have been around for 10 years next month. Go visit their website and check out the Movies section or go buy a CD. You won’t regret it.
