NicoNicoChannels

Recently NicoNicoDouga launched a service called "NicoNicoChannel".

Here you can see all the "official channels" categorized under "politics" - which even the prime minister of Japan has his channel and the opposition parties such as Ichiro Ozawa of DPJ and Kazuo Shii of the Socialist party has their channels. "public organizations, companies and brands" has a police channel where they have education videos of crimes and  Toshiba channel and Comesta channel. They have "education" channels, "TV/Media/weather" channels, "music" channels, "movie" channels, "game" "anime" "comedy and sports""artists and celebrities" etc.

Until NicoNicoChannel launched, all of the videos were free to watch in NicoNicoDouga, but some of the NicoNicoChannel charges you some fee to watch their video. Other channels are free.

For example, if you try to watch an anime called "Candy Boy", they require you to "join" the channel and pay 315yen(around 3$)/month or 945yen for 90days usage.

Within "variety" category, there was this channel called "NicoNicoMesse". NicoNicoMesse is an instant messenger based on MSN messenger which you can chat with your friends while watching NicoNicoDouga videos.

It looks like Microsoft made this promotion video of NicoNicoMesse using MikuMikuDance :)

LEGO

There's a bunch of people who plays with LEGO and uploads their videos to NicoNicoDouga,

but this one is amazing. 

The creator says it is a tribute for the 30th anniversary of LEGO dolls and took more than 100 hours to shoot this (10days).

レゴでコマ撮りしてみた

He says he will start making more LEGO stop motion animes over the next 6 months...

Here's another amazing one - 6.6m battleship "Yamato" using over 150,000 parts,

started creation back in winter, 2002 and planning to finish by spring of 2009. 

And he's working on this all by himself...

1 year work on Miku 3DPV

I had been introducing lots of MikuMikuDance 3DPVs,

but there are people who still makes Miku 3DPVs using 3D applications.

This is a creation of one of such artists who spent 2-3 hours per day for the last 1 YEAR

to create this video. Quite amazing...

Video created by Comments

Facts:

Nico Nico Douga is 

1) a video sharing service where the uploader can upload videos

2) anyone can post comments on the videos, however only limited number of comments can be displayed, so when there are lots of comments, earlier comments disappear

3) uploader has the priviledge to post "uploader comments" which will NOT be deleted, so usually they posted instructions, lyrics, etc. I think uploader comments were generally simple, and the "comment masters" were generally ordinary comments

4) animation videos and music videos that violate copyright are deleted from Nico Nico Douga 

OK. So here comes a hero.

Look what this guy made with "uploader comments" :P

Political NicoNicoDouga channels

Usually I only post videos that are interesting/understandable to non-Japanese speakers, but this one is not- sorry!

I just wanted to introduce that NicoNicoDouga is even used for political videos :)

There were people uploading TVprograms of the Diet to NicoNicoDouga.
As people can comment on top of the videos, conversations started.
I think this was a good tendency. It is said that Japanese youngsters are generally not interested in politics- but when they watch the NicoNicoDouga videos of the politicians debating in the diet and start commenting as well as watching (listening) to other NicoNico users commenting, I think it deepens their understanding and start to think more about the issues.

Then the politicians started to create their channels on NicoNicoDouga.

Yuriko Koike of Liberal Democratic Party started her channel:

She has 17 videos and the one with the most view has 36,068 views.

Ichiro Ozawa of Democratic Party of Japan started his channel:

He has 13 videos uploaded, and the one that has the most PV has 69,530 views.

Kazuo Shii of Japan Communist Party started his channel as well.

He has 42 videos uploaded (although he just started this channel on 10/6), and the one that has the most PV has 15,873 views.

10/7　派遣労働者の使いすての実態をただす　志位委員長の衆院予算委質問

BTW and FYI, party support rate as of 9/26 is as follows.
(data source ＦＮN/Sankei)

Liberal Democratic Party - 31.7%
Democratic Party of Japan - 25.9%
Japan Communist Party - 2.5%
