The Best Tsuri Ever

AV けいおん！平沢唯似
(Note: You must have a ニコニコ動画 account to see the above video. If you need an account, please utilize my free account sherpa service.) (←No longer true. Yay for the new version of NicoNicoDouga!)
There is a class of video called 釣り (tsuri) where you are brought to the video expecting one thing and getting another. Normally, it is some sort of video promising erotic wonders, and then invariably ending in 兄貴 porn or Ronald McDonald insanity.
However, this is quite possibly the best 釣り動画 ever. It poses as K-ON! AV (AV generally meaning Adult Video) but delivers awesomeness in a totally safe for work sort of way.

Hammer Day: July 2009
Written by Jeshii on 2009.07.15 – 22:33 -Hammer Day came and went this month, on the 11th for those who don’t already know. This month was a little different than months previous… less emphasis on who will take up the torch since it seems enough people are participating now. I did miss it, but since today seems to be 兄貴 (aniki)’s birthday or something, there isn’t much on NicoDou that I want to see right now, so I’m playing catch up!
【ニコニコ動画】【初音ミク】終わらないハンマー・タイム【オリジナル】
First place goes to 終わらないハンマー・タイム (“Owaranai Hammer Time”), which is an original 初音ミク song. It’s touching, funny, and surreal… 謎の感動 for sure.
【ニコニコ動画】激突！ハンマー状態なのか？
Here is a crazy hammer Kirby/Touhou megamix.

ハンマーの人二代目 came in 3rd on the ranking this month, but did indeed return.
In fact, most of the generations are back, except 3代目. I wonder what happened?!
More after the jump.

The Day of the Hammer Cometh
Written by Jeshii on 2009.06.11 – 23:45 -Welcome to June 11th everyone. It has already been one month since the last ハンマーの日 (hammaa no hi). Last time, １代目 (ichidaime) said it was his last hammer video. At the same time, ２代目 showed up with ham-maaaarch・∀・. But still, would ハンマーの日 come again?
I’m happy to report, ハンマーの日 came without any problems. Yes, １代目 seems to be gone, but the hammer lives on.
２代目’s new work is a Hammer version of the 初音ミク (Hatsune Miku) song ぽっぴっぽー. It really reflects ２代目’s colorful sensibilities.
Hoho, what’s this? ハンマーの日 has some other videos?!
Yes, another hammer version of ぽっぴっぽー, uploaded a mere 8 minutes later. We have concluded that this must be ２代目’s 嫁 (yome) since there is no other way they could have known. Thus, we also have the wedding ceremony below:
３代目!!!!
【ニコニコ動画】恋色ハンマースパーク
【ニコニコ動画】恋色ファイナルハンマースパーク
Yes, 3代目 of the conservative school of hammerism came up with this double punch. It is a 東方 (touhou) based work based on 恋色マスタースパーク. The first one recalls the early days of hammeristic design, and the second brings us back to the present. I fine show indeed.
The school is Hammer is getting rather crowded. For the rest of the line, please see after the jump.

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?!)

Legend of Hammer
Written by Jeshii on 2009.05.12 – 01:12 -
Today is this month’s Hammer Day. The entry for this month is an amazing reprise of ナイト・オブ・ナイツ. But, the comment says it will be the last one. This episode even is pretty nostalgic feeling, as it is a better version of the first one, so it could be true. The Hammer is a tricky one, so it is hard to say for sure. There is even talk of a Second Generation of Hammer. I guess we can only tell for sure on June 11th…
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.

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…”

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!

Shuzo Mania
Written by Jeshii on 2008.12.25 – 16:51 -Remember that ホットリックス (Hotrix) video I posted a bit back… I wasn’t fully aware of what the whole 松岡修造 (Matsuoka Shuzo) thing was about, but it is coming together.
I’m still not sure what show it is from, but he has these little messages (for the compilation of the messages, check after the jump). They are pretty odd and the ニコニコ動画 comments are hilarious, either changing what he is saying slightly or just adding “?!” at opportune moments. From there, the prime clips have been remixed with everything and anything. It seems to be a relatively new phenomenon since the main one shows him at the Olympics this year.
Any why is there that whole “hot” thing? One of his phrases is 「もっと熱くなれよ！」 (“motto atsuku nare yo”) not to mention the one where he is in the snow yelling “I feel hot!”
Anyway, if you have a ニコ動 account, check out these selections after the jump for more 松岡修造 than you can handle.

Hikenai Mono Naitsu
Written by Jeshii on 2008.12.16 – 18:28 -
Imagine a world where everything you picked up could make music. Then watch the above video and realize we live in that world!!!
This is a rendition of ナイト・オブ・ナイツ (“Night of Knights”) from the 東方 Project played on flat objects. Yes, the guy did cheat by speeding it up 2x, BUT he was open and up front about it (there is a clock with a second hand right in the middle of the frame!!). And it is still amazing.
You may remember this song from the ソフト・オブ・バンク entry. This song is quick becoming the new U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか？

Soft of Bank
Written by Jeshii on 2008.12.04 – 15:17 -
The talking dog from the Softbank commercials has finally been mixed into this awesome video. The song is ナイト・オブ・ナイツ (naito obu naitsu) from 東方 Project, of course. There’s also a little bit of 信仰風化曲 ～ Native Faith in there, not to mention other ニコ動 inside jokes.
I can’t stop watching it. So here it is for all of you too. The person who put this together said it took 2 months! Geez!
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, I love the Internet.
