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.

Melt - those pictures of Miku were drawn by her too!

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

組曲『ニコニコ動画』、台湾人で大合唱

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.

【ニコニコ國際】香港人が組曲『ニコニコ動画』を歌ってた

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!

200年後のゆりかもめ（新橋→豊洲） 1/2

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

201年後のゆりかもめ（旧新橋→旧豊洲）

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

FYI:

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

How to create a doujin game

One interesting thing about niconico douga is that people uploads the process as well as the outputs of their creation.

This is a series of videos uploaded by a game creator. 

The first video we saw was this: Week 1 -Creating the avatar-

同人ゲームを作る過程をＵＰしてみる　 1週目

...and it got developed to something like this video!

俺の嫁オンライン　【28】

Following is some of the videos that were uploaded in the process.

There are 45 videos, you can see the whole list here:

Week 4 chat function, network function, asking the viewers to give ideas on a character.

After this announcement, some people felt it was too exclusive. OkidoP decided to propose another event more open and freely for people to create videos and upload them with "Neta☆MAD" tag as a rival event to Cine☆MAD. As of 4:30 AM of 8/31, there are 189 videos tagged  Neta☆MAD and more PVs actually...

Nico Tech Meeting

NicoNico has lots of tech geeks in the community.

On 8/30, Nico Tech meeting was held in Takatsuki, with 78 participants.

I was unable to join the meeting as it was not in Tokyo, but I think folks will upload videos, and I have found this report video already :)

Tokachi Gold

8/30 was an "event day" for many people.

One of the events was "Tokachi Gold". It was a live DJ/VJ event of idolm@ster fans.I was unable to go to the event, but was listening to the music online via ustream, and it was really fun!

Tkcgld_banner

Creators of idolm@ster uses "P" after their names - "P" stands for "producers", as in-game, players are supposed to be the producer of those idol singers.

Those producers include my favorite producer, WakamuraP.

His videos are amazing, he was performing as DJ as well as VJ today :)

He has uploaded his DJ video from Tokachi Gold here:

THE IDOLM@STER WAKAMURA RECYCLE VOL.03 (Tokachi-Gold Edition 20080830)

While watching the ustreamed DJing, folks were writing comments while watching the blacked out screen with only the DJ sounds. You can see how people are commenting just as if they are watching Niconicodouga- danmaku comments!

As you may have noticed, this is very similar to the way people watches NicoNicoDouga and NicoNicoLive (NicoNicoNamahousou)

This is the screenshot from NicoNicoLive on 8/31. You can see the comments filled with danmaku comments "kishimeeeeeen". 

Picture37.png

Following is one of WakamuraP's videos, a remix of 15 Perfume songs * idolm@ster videos. I think it is difficult to understand what is great about this video when you see it for the first time. The song is sung by a group called Perfume, and WakamuraP remixed some videos from idolm@ster, most of the backgrounds and effects and synced them. All of the lip-sync and motion-sync etc. 

THE IDOLM@STER WAKAMURA RECYCLE VOL.02 (meets Perfume)

This is the most recent video of WakamuraP.

This is the list of WakamuraP's videos.

Other producers that performed at Tokachi Gold are:

Miraiha / TPTP / TsunamayoP / sitaP / KumaP / ntmP / Die-TouryouP

Because of the capacity of the venue, many people were unable to participate although they tried to register. People who could not join Tokachi Gold planned another meeting and did a karaoke party.
