Animeme: Hatsune Miku – Konbini
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr66XbJF9AI&hl=en&fs=1&w=425&h=344]
I have a relatively untapped resource of Niconico entertainment which are called VOCALOID original songs. I would guess these are songs composed by random people and they make VOCALOID characters like Hatsune Miku sing their compositions. It is certainly interesting, and Konbini is one of these nice songs I bumped into lately. While the original Hatsune Miku version is good in itself, the better version comes from the semi-R&B mix by halyosy, some singer out there. The song itself is simple but cute premise, a guy who has a crush on that girl working at the convenience store. An added touch is the video, drawn mostly shoujo-manga style, which is awesome. All in all a great showcase for original songs out there, and it actually inspired me to compose my own. I’m a bit of a pianist myself. Don’t count on it anytime soon though.
Moar:
Konbini – Girl POV – From the girl point of view. Not as fun, it assumes that the girl likes the guy too.

So, is this the new Caramelldansen? Words escape me, this is absolutely cute! Who the hell thought of this combo? This seems fairly recent, and it needs a medley, I can only stand watching this for a while. I expect this meme to explode like wildfire in the coming days. On the other hand, it could be a flop. Nevertheless, that’s a few minutes of my life wasted on such mindless cuteness. This is animeme monitor signing off for now.

Sumomo (the original) – blame her for this mess.

Silver Forest has done it again for me, mixing Touhou with other unique references. We have Nice Boats here too. This song is incredibly catchy, and the accompanying video is simple in execution but very cute. And lastly… poor Cirno. They want to eat Cirno.
Moar:
Keroro Gunsou Destiny – Kerokerokerokerokero. Awesome spoof, of course with the only definitive frog character in anime.
Nico Nico Destiny – To the tune of the song, this is a video montage of most animeme you’ll ever see.
ピコ⑧Bitiny – This is mega-cute nostalgia! The song remixed 8-bit video game style!
Animeme: Danjo
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5bA7IlbHac&hl=en&w=425&h=355]
I don’t know where the hell this song came from, but it sure is catchy. I think it started as a non-anime music video, until someone added the VOCALOID boys, and it finally started. The VOCALOID version was a big hit with its unique style of animation, and then the continuous flood of parodies from that video exploded like wildfire. The thing is, even if you have grown tired of the Danjo song already, it is still a treat to watch the animated videos. Each one is funny especially if you know the characters. Also, people started to dance this too… with varying degrees of success of course.
Moar:
Danjo Daikazoku – It’s rather simple. Dango rhymes with Danjo. So?
Animeme: Negima!? OP
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWjaxyQdj4E&hl=en&w=425&h=355]
The new re-revision of the Negima anime has a pretty stylish OP. 1000% SPARKING! as a song is pretty awesome too, despite having just one version in my music playlist. There are a gazillion versions of the song though, and the anime opening itself has various versions changing some scenes, animation, colors and music remixes. And so because the opening video is nice, MAD makers are nice enough to give us parody versions. The overall quality of these parodies are high, and I enjoyed each one very much. I haven’t watched this new series yet, and reportedly it’s not as bad as the [first one->mahou-sensei-negima], although this is more of an alternate retelling than being manga-based.
Animeme: Mentos

Do do do do dooo, do waaaah!
It doesn’t matter what comes, fresh goes better in life, with Mentos fresh and full of life. Nothing gets to you, staying fresh staying cool, with Mentos fresh and full of life. Fresh goes better, Mentos freshness! Fresh goes better with Mentos, fresh and full of life!

Animeme: Evangelion OP
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgATlhZFAfs&hl=en&w=425&h=355]
Neon Genesis Evangelion has a very epic opening sequence, really one of the the best there is. From the song to the almost subliminal high-velocity visuals towards the end this OP (and the series itself) is truly revolutionary. To my disappointment though, GAINAX didn’t create a remake of the OP even though they managed to copy the first 6 episodes of the original anime almost religiously in the recent first Rebuild of Evangelion movie. Thankfully, the great otakus of Japan and the world have come up and are coming up with unique homages of this great OP. Even when the original is already around 13 years old, the parodies still keep coming. It stands the test of time, and I think this is the oldest animeme in my book, way before the video internet is even born. I recall I even had small asf/rm videos of Evangelion OP parodies. There also is, of course, the classic Budweiser ad spoof. Good times baby, good times.
True, true.
P.S. And there’s the Mentos one too.
Animeme: Tsurupettan
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JrmKBWoyfs&hl=en&w=425&h=355]
Yet another Touhou doujin music, but this one’s interesting. It not only derives from Touhou, but from other meme references like a certain Idolmaster song, the Mojipittan song, Haruhi, the Onmyouji song, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, and a reference to all the flat-chested anime girls in the world. All mixed together in a catchy-cute package made by doujin music maker Silver Forest. The song is effective enough to make me listen to it time and time again. The viral flash video seems equally hectic too, although I don’t see many unique versions.
Animeme: Radio Yutaka-chan
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUlNV_QMTKo&hl=en&w=425&h=355]
Remember this little cute scene in Lucky Star where Yutaka-chan silently listens to music, slowly bobs her head to the tune, and then sings some lines of Mojipittan? Absolute moe~! In the original scene though, it’s completely silent before she sang, so many wondered what she was listening to. Now that we know, shall we make her listen to other songs instead?
It gets old fairly quickly but please do look at some of these, some are equally cute, and some weird ones as well. There are also those long long medleys of multiple songs, but those sometimes lose the point entirely. I think there are better ways to go about this meme, so I’m looking forward to seeing more out of this Yutaka-chan listening scene.
