ダブルラリアット (Dabururariatto) is a NicoDou classic. YouTube user rockleetist made an English version and put it up on NicoDou recently. It rocketed up the charts and is the first time I’ve seen so many comments in English on NicoDou.

In any case, if any of my readers are worried about trying to break into NicoNicoDouga, this is a fantastic way to do it.

…then you take your favorite character from anything (東方, Vocaloid, IdolM@ster) and strip her down to her underwear and make her run on a treadmill…

…AND THEN you just move into the realm of the absurd…

Go check out ○○がトレーニング if you like what you see.

UPDATE: They just keep coming, so I’ll just keep putting the good ones after the jump.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhx0t7kbSP0

BTW, I love Cirno.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2_UPIUUWM0

Shuzo version. Had to be done.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSdZRDhkuxc

www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkWLWfZs0k0

Even the Excitebike one is getting remixed!

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

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

#2: Heavenly Star

www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL2od1AF_Cs

#3: Do-dai

www.youtube.com/watch?v=X92KotmP4Ks

#4: みwなwぎwっwてwきwたwww（篠笛禁断症状L5）

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHcI5xXx9Vs

#5: Under My Skin

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsq6QgE5YHg

#6: ナイト・オブ・ナイツ

www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPqSkzBT4QM

#7: ダンシング☆サムライ

www.youtube.com/watch?v=sONjNT4H2tI

#8: サンドキャニオン

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

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

www.youtube.com/watch?v=e097gE60RMo

…and this one…

#11: Got The Groove

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd3qzoBFURs

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

#20: celluloid

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

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

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

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～

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

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

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

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

My favorite Vocaloid song of 2008.

#28: おてんば恋娘

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

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

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

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

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

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・∀・

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

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～

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

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!!

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

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

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

More Prince of Tennis musical. ;__;

#41: ハンマー状態

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

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

#42: RED ZONE

www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnEWXJl0T5w

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

#43: Don’t say “lazy”

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

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:

【ニコニコ動画】七色のニコニコ動画の元曲と動画を合わせてみた（修正版）

【ニコニコ動画】「七色のニコニコ動画」に頑張って動画をつけてみた 【修正版】
Yes, these are two different versions where they take the original videos/MADs and make a mix.

【ニコニコ動画】『七色のニコニコ動画』 with VOCALOID年少組
With Vocaloid! I think they rushed this one a bit… the 流星群 Vocaloid one was so solid… oh well.

【ニコニコ動画】「七色のニコニコ動画」歌ってみた【samfree】
I’m not a samfree fan, but the speed at which this came out is pretty impressive.

【ニコニコ動画】【合】マリオシーケンサで「七色のニコニコ動画」【作】
Yes. Mario Paint.

【ニコニコ動画】【ほんこーん】七色のニコニコ動画を歌ってみた【ホコッ☆】
A girl from Hong Kong, calling herself ほんこーん (Honkoun) is protecting peace around the world by wooing all the NicoChu.

.
【ニコニコ動画】七色のニコニコ動画.カラオケ字幕ver　【　修　正　版　】
And a カラオケ (karaoke) version so you can sing it too!

Last but not least, here is a YouTube playlist of all the above songs:

And that’s all folks! Have a nice colorful ニコニコ!

A new voice for VOCALOID2 is coming out on January 30th! CV03′s name is going to be 巡音ルカ (Megurine Ruka). Seems like the official jury is out on whether or not he name should be spelled “Ruka” or “Luka.” I’m leaning towards Ruka since I have a very different image in my head of who Luka is.

The news coming out about her says that she will have both English and Japanese voice databases so she can sing in either language. He style is husky and jazzy. The character design, by KEI, has pinkish hair, blue eyes, and… well… large breasts. Yes, this is an official trait. (-.-;) Her special item doesn’t seem to be decided just yet, but it seems like it may be an actual tuna fish, a shovel, and or peaches.

Her other official traits are as follows:

* Age: 20
* Height: 162cm
* Weight: 45kg
* Style: Latin, Jazz, Ethnic Pop, House, Electronic Dance
* Tempo: 65 to 145 BPM
* Range: D3 to D5 (apparently she can do a wider range, this is just her specialty)

Anyway, I’m excited to see what Feburary brings us in the way of new NicoMusic. Not to mention all the random videos that will determine how we see her personality. Oh man, what a world.

I’m excited to find this blog because they have a lot of good ミク stuff (way more than I do), including a link to this awesome 初音ミク cosplay. At the same time though, I’m a little sad. I was hoping that ミク was relatively unknown in the English speaking world. And now I know better.

I was kind of like when I first saw a friend put up a 東方 Project character on their AIM icon. It shocked me. “Whoa, they know about 東方 too?!” But, really, I think it is just that I’m late entering this game. The two year hiatus from JP culture has made me feel like a total n00b!

Oh well. I should swallow my pride and you should go check out Miku Fan for more Vocaloid goodness.

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:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNdlKecb_0Q

There are a few versions:

1. The original:

2. With VOCALOID lyrics:

3. Orchestrated:

6. Ronald McDonald style:

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!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODIt-rUj6e4

www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX6e7sO1ss0

www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeABtvgbe78

06. nowhere -- a song from the anime Madlax.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W66Xka2U_o

07. チーターマン -- Apparently a rap someone came up for the Cheetah Men II game theme.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FhcOFeCDCI

08. Ievan Polkka -- I’ve already posted this one, but hell, I love it so much, here it is again.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5kDcIJ9i_A

09. バラライカ -- I won’t pretend to say I understand what this is all about…

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgiOKM9O3sM

10. 男女 -- A single by an artist called 太郎 (Tarou) released in late 2006. In early 2008, this nicovideo revived the song from obscurity!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezIivYoz4to

11. モンタギュー家とキャピュレット家 -- A movement from Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet” that was in a SoftBank commercial.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x4oVt6IPvE

www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKPCCuHiVSg

www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4jkxXyCBgs

18. だんご大家族 -- “Big Family Dango” An ending theme from the anime Clannad.

22. 魔理沙は大変なものを盗んでいきました -- a popular flash video made by IOSYS (featured previously).

23. U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか？ -- Originally from the game 東方紅魔郷, this one has been remixed so much! My favorite is the Ronald McDonald one.

24. お嫁にしなさいっ！ -- Another IOSYS production. “Make me your wife!” @_@ Very cute though.

25. ロックマン2 ワイリーステージ1/おっくせんまん/思い出は億千万 -- Another hard one to explain in complete. The short version is that this the Dr. Wily Stage 1 song from MegaMan 2. The long version is that X Japan did a cover, and then someone did the linked video, and… I dunno. When culture gets remixed so much like this, it is awesome and really hard to follow! XD

26. After Dark -- (Åh) När Ni Tar Saken I Egna Händer -- Another one where I’m fairly confused about, but everyone calls it オナニー. Oh, nani?

27. ハレ晴レユカイ -- That dance song from Haruhi, probably popular enough for you to have already heard of it. There’s even a MegaMan version.

28. God knows… -- Another song from Haruhi.

29. JOINT -- The opening from the anime 灼眼のシャナII (Shakugan no Shana II)

30. 解読不能 -- another anime song from コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ （CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion).

33. 患部で止まってすぐ溶ける～狂気の優曇華院 -- Another IOSYS creation.

34. Help me ERINNNNNN!! -- Another IOSYS creation. From the CD Flowering ERINNNNNN!! Seems to have a lot of stuff going on related to it.

35. 千年幻想郷　～ History of the Moon -- from the game 東方永夜抄.

36. Little Busters! -- opening theme to the game of the same title.

37. 1000％SPARKING! -- From an anime called ネギま！？ (negima!?)

46. レッツゴー！陰陽師 -- a song from the game 「新豪血寺一族 －煩悩解放－」

47. Air on the G String (nice boat)

You can now go to 電刃 without feeling too much like a 外人 (gaijin). I hope you enjoyed going through all these songs as much as I did. XD

Update: Here is a YouTube playlist of all the songs!

Technorati Tags: anime, ニコニコ動画, ニコニコ動画流星群, Bamboo Blade, Cheetah Man, Chrono Trigger, Clannad, 男女, Dance Party, Danjo, DENPA, Haruhi, Haruhi Suzumiya, Hatsune Miku, Idol Master, Ievan Polkka, Internet, iosys, Kenshin, Kirby, Kodomo no Jikan, Lucky Star, Madlax, Mega Man, Meteor Shower, music, MuvLuv, NicoNicoDouga, nicovideo, otaku, perfume, Prince of Tennis, Prokofiev, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Uma Dance, video, vocaloid, 初音ミク, 東方, 東方系

Let me give you some background. Yamaha came out with a singing virtual vocalization program. It was released in Japan as Vocaloid. People started to make videos of it singing things, associating it with a cute anime girl character, and now all of this is exploding on ニコ動.

Imagine all those people who do karaoke on YouTube, but with a sense of shame. Why not have a virtual proxy sing songs for you. It’s so meta.

I’m still amazed that they can even get a computer voice to sing. And the fact that this idol is a community created thing and not some corporation’s mind control world domination plan (yet…) is something that makes me feel good about the world. The future really is here!

Here are a few of my favorite 初音ミク songs:

1. ワールドイズマイン / World Is Mine (an original song)

2.　みくみくにしてあげる♪ / MikuMiku ni shite ageru♪ (an original song)

3. Ievan Polkka

4.　ﾄｩﾙﾄｩﾙ☆ﾀﾞﾀﾞﾀﾞを初音ミクが歌って踊る / Hatsune Miku does Tunak

There are lots of covers and original songs, so go seek out your favorites!
