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: Tsurupettan

つるぺったん

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: Oyome ni Shinasai!

お嫁にしなさいっ!

Another one of those viral flash videos from IOSYS. This is a bit lesser known, but they certainly brought the cuteness factor higher here. This song is still rehashed from Touhou music, but not only that, it was actually made from three themes! Unbelievable! And to think that the lyrics make more sense than the Marisa thing…

Total sugary moe~! Touhou seems to be an overflowing source of doujin and meme ideas. I haven’t even played any of those games yet.

The original Touhou game themes:
ブクレシュティの人形師
恋色マスタースパーク
オリエンタルダークフライト

Animeme: Marisa Stole The Precious Thing

魔理沙は大変なものを盗んでいきました

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32kVVKT-2v0&hl=en&w=425&h=355]

The virus that spread like wildfire. IOSYS is famous for making flash animation shots to go along with their doujin music for Touhou, but this remains one of their most memorable work. Before the legend though, the theme was originally in Perfect Cherry Blossom, the seventh Touhou shooter game. Actually, the animation didn’t make a lot of sense, neither does the song itself which is full of Engrish lyric mockery. Despite that, the song is a tremendous hit, and it may have kickstarted the once-limited doujin music industry into one that can take on the big guys. This song is still on my music playlist after more than a year. It’s catchy, it’s cute, and it’s mindless fun.

Moar:
Doll Judgment ~ The girl who played with people’s shapes – This is the original theme. It’s the boss theme for Alice Margatroid. You can hear it has a dark and ominous tone, very unlike the hectic remix.
The Shinigami Stole The Precious Thing – JUST AS PLANNED.

Eroge Recession?

Well good riddance, I’ve started playing [the game->dc2] again. I heard there’s the new Da Crapo II Second Season anime, so I should pick up my slack.

On another note though, I think my likehood towards these games is slowly fading for some reason. I don’t think it’s because of my busy real-life schedule, and I recently got my copy of [Another Days->toheart2] too. Is this bishoujo game/eroge/galge industry in some sort of recession? I don’t find any new game particularly exciting. I don’t see many posts about them in english anime blogs either. Somehow there’s doesn’t seem to be much energy in the game genre at all, and I would wonder why. Please read on for my random thoughts.

2007: Year of the Modern Doujin

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cepXLReu1aU&hl=en_US&fs=1&&w=425&h=344]
If I would remember 2007 in anime terms, it is definitely the year when the legend of fan-based content finally entered my consciousness. I know, stuff made by fans (doujinshi, doujin games, etc.) have been around even before the first Comiket, but never has it exploded as much as today. I would mostly blame the internet for that, as with many other things related with such an easy way to connect with other people. Because it’s related to computers though, the term “doujin” would have changed for me. A few years ago, I would consider the majority of doujin as either manga drawn by fans for fans, or programmed games by fans for fans. In 2007, “doujin” now encapsulates almost every form of media ever created. Music, accessories, video… you name it… the fans got it.

Motteke! Sailor Fuku

[MEDIA=3]
This OP is total parody bait.

Therefore I will lay this space for all the ‘otaku and beyond’ people who dare wear a seifuku/sailor fuku and/or cheerleader dress and dance to the newest… and someday the craziest… dance sensation since Hare Hare Yukai.
