The most corny MMD in the world

Promotion Video of "I Want To Love You Tender" by Armi Ja Dannyｍ was said to be the most corny PV in the world by a nicochu.

This is the original PV.

【30周年】世界でいちばんダサいＰＶ

 

This is MMD version "The most corny MMD in the world"

【MikuMikuDance】世界でいちばんダサいMMD

This is a comparison video of the original and MD version... you'd be able to see HOW WELL MADE the MMD version is!

The most corny PV was remixed into an opening video of a TV program bya famous comedian group "the Drifters".

"The most corny Drifters opening in the world"

And of course "The most corny Drifters MMD in the world" was created.

Trace

"Tracing" or "copying" someone else's copyrighted work is of course a bad thing to do, but to what extent are things similar by nature and what are really traces?

There are many incidents that questions are raised recently- about comics being so similar, music being so similar, and novels being so similar.

This video includes many "trace suspicions" which includes some obviously "Traced" comics to some pictures that just happened to be similar.

トレス疑惑

This video takes the contents from the above, and creates a video to show the differences

Another trace suspicion video - basically this one is a joke video

Music sounds similar

NicoNicoDouga's popular contents

Hatsune Miku, Idol M@ster and Touhou (which I intend to introduce here soon...) is said to be the 3 most popular contents in Nico Nico Douga.

However, someone questioned in an anonymous web diary whether it is really true... as it seemed to him/her that Touhou and Miku are attracting users but Imas was not.

A blogger called myrmecoleon went on to investigate the actual data to check this out.

This is his post, where he created several charts to investigate which  "tags" were really popular based on how many times the videos with those tags were viewed. He says if you delete the category tags (like music, sports etc) the 3 most popular tags are indeed Touhou, Miku and IdolM@ster.

Following is the translation of one of the charts that myrmecoleon created... and this one includes some of the categories. I think this gives you a general idea of what type of videos are actually popular in Nico Nico Douga, as the videos that I am introducinig is biased by "my taste" :P

IKZO

Ikuzo Yoshi(IKZO) is a 56 years old professional enka (traditional) singer.

Nicochus started to remix one of Ikzo's old songs (and is about a farmer) to various modern songs.
The huge gap between this old / rural IKZO songs and modern / urban music created an interesting harmony...

Here are some of those remixes.

IKZO remixes are also called "NOCALOID", "No" means farming, and CALOID comes from VOCALOID.
Many people started creating NOCALOID videos, and someone even created IKZO button.

If you go to this link, and push the button, you will get the common phrase that are used in most of those videos and if you play it with another music, you can create a remix music.

Picture 3

Usually those activities gets banned as they are illegal, but IKZO is going to collaborate with Nico Nico Douga...!

When I went to an event organized by Dwango called Nico Nico Daikaigi, I saw IKZO gave Dwango flowers as presents- we thought he wasn't feeling bad about this phoenomenon... and he wasn't!

ニコニコ大会議にきたお花　IKZOさんから！！

Quote from an article on ASCII

　「それでも吉さんはニコ動のIKZOについて『若い人の考えることは面白いね』と言ってくれました。『これだけの人たちが楽しんでくれているのはとってもありがたい。どんな形であれ、曲が歌い継がれていることはいい』という感じですね」（齋藤氏）

　吉氏が理解してくれたのは、曲の使用だけではない。着うたやボイスの製作にも積極的に関わってくれた。

Yoshi-san (IKZO) says "what young people comes up with is so interesting" when he heard about IKZO in Nico Nico Douga. "I am greatful that many people are enjoying (my songs). In whatever way, it is good that the music keeps being sung in the next generation."

He not only permitted to use the music, but also decided to be involved in creating ringtones etc.

Here you can see him doing the recording.

IKZO(本人ver.)

He even proposes in this video to do a nation-wide event if there are good remixes from Nicochus..

IKZOから大切なお知らせとお願いです

Hmmm amazing understanding and genersity!

German Vocaloid

I think many of you know the "keyboard crasher" video that was on Youtube.

(Translated) Angry German Kid - Correct Translation

Nicochus started to sample some of the voices of this video and remixed it to create other videos- just like Vocaloid.
Therefore, this series of "keyboard crasher" remix videos are called "German Vocaloid" series.

Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga

There were lots of Nicochus' favorite songs that are played, sung and remixed in Nico Nico Douga.
Someone created a video called Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga, which is a medley of those songs.

組曲『ニコニコ動画』

Many people loved this and sang it, played it, danced to it, made anime to it, etc.



Many people sang kumikyoku, and this is an example of a girl (nickname "sister") singing it.

And those videos got remixed- 5 people remixed by other people ("sister" is second from left)

HongKoong

"HongKoong" is an 18 year old girl, living in Hongkong became a nicochu (Nico Nico Douga addict) and started to upload her song and pictures on Nico Nico Douga which attracted many nicochus' heart.

HongKoong started posting videos to Nico Nico Douga when she saw Taiwanese Nico Nico Douga fans gather to sing Kumi Kyoku Nico Nico Douga, and as a thank you message the Japanese Nico Nico Douga fans got together to sing Kumikyoku and create a video in return.

This is the Taiwanese version

This is the thank you message from the Japanese to the Taiwanese

"HongKoong" sang kumikyoku as well, with a video writing about how impressed she was to see the 2 videos and thank the creators.

Nico Nico Douga has comments on top of the videos, and it lowered the barrier of commenting to videos.
Hence it became a great place for people to communicate internationally- if non-Japanese people comes to the site.
Nico Nico Douga has started internationalization of their website. They currently have Japanese version, Taiwanese version, Spanish version, and German version.

"HongKoong"  sings "Omoide ga ippai" in Japanese and Kantonese.

【ほんこーん】「想い出がいっぱい」日本語と広東語Ver.を歌ってみた

"HongKoong" sings "Peace of the World" with Riru from Korea.

【ほんこーん】「peace of the world」を歌ってみた【りる】

"HongKoong"sings "Pradera" with ENE and 衣世乃

【ほんこーんxENEx衣世乃】「pradera」を歌ってみた

Then, people started to remix "HongKoong"'s songs to other people's songs.
These unintended remixes are the great culture of Nico Nico Douga :P

Yurikamome

Yurikamome is a name of a train (monorail)

I went to ride on it this weekend- it is famous for a great view.

ゆりかもめ

Someone made this video entitled "yurikamome 200 years later" by making the video upside-down.
It looks pretty cool!

Someone else turned this video 90 degrees and made this video "Yurikamome 201 years later"

Someone else added some effects and made this video "Yurikamome 200 years later with more water"

This is how it "really" looks like...
