Presenting to you one of the most legendary source materials on Nico Nico Douga... You know him as the Unreal Gamer, Angry German Kid (AGK), or Der Echte Gangster but in Japan he was known under the alias Keyboard Crusher (KBC, shorted to Crusher sometimes) Kibokura, Kikura, and German-made VOCALOID.
This thread will evolve around sharing, translating, and discussing KBC videos, and any other stuff relating to KBC from Nico Nico Douga.
The oldest surviving video ever uploaded of him to Nico Nico Douga which was a very early time on there when Nico Nico Douga initially enabled uploading videos to the website: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm167 [Play] in which basically everything that he said in his very aggressive German voice was misheard as something completely else in Japanese which was a factor in spawning tons of MADs, specifically otoMADs (Sound MAD(Movie Animation Douga(Video)s), around this guy which was partly responsible for pretty much leading the MAD space on Nico Nico Douga forward. He was especially popular for how his keyboard smashing sounds were remixed in videos.
I have included a full translation of those misheard quotes + Romaji subtitles in the initial video but do note that a lot of the mishearings are left up to interpretation and can be misheard as something completely else by other users (some of them are my interpretations).
Translation note: If you are wondering about what m9(^Д^)ﾌﾟｷﾞｬｰ is supposed to be think of it as a Kaomoj of a index finger being pointed at you. it can also be written as 「ｍ９っ」 or 「ｍ９つ」 where 「つ」 signifies extending the thumb. Pugyah signifies mockery which evolved possibly from 「ぷぷぷ」 (pupupu). The full Kaomoj basically came to fruition when the 2channel's News Flash VIP was established in 2004.
I have no clue what the misheard phrase "Is created Hoimafu, Rose?" is supposed to mean but it's supposed to be super popular so If you have any idea I would appreciate it.
Believe it or not but the first ever otoMAD ever uploaded to Nico Nico Douga was a KBC video: https://nicovideo.jp/watch/sm662 [Play] though if you wondering what the first ever otoMAD that was created was it was Ogino House back in 2004: https://youtu.be/-FcLjBE0wZY [Play]
A lot of the KBC MADs usually come in different styles like using subtitles that aren't part of the misheard version or creating story based videos where KBC plays some kind of game and usually the story based ones often conclude with bad endings, such as the computer freezing or Crusher losing the game.
There are also videos where they reverse the footage to create even more potential mishearings a few popular ones being "EIRIN EIRIN" and "Haruhi" https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23692618 [Play] and yes those are also used in otoMADs.
I will include in this post a few popular otoMADs from KBC that you might have even come across if you browsed Youtube back a decade and a half ago.

https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9279482 [Play] Keyboard Kiss ~Destruction Damoon~ 【Sakuranbo Kiss MAD】
KBC x Sakuranbo Kiss ~Bakuhatsu da Mo-n~ (Cherry Kiss ~ It's An Explosion~) feat. KOTOKO from the visual novel opening: Colorful Kiss ~12 ko no Mune Kyun!~ https://vndb.org/v1472 https://youtu.be/El3sBRs0bXA [Play]
It's a pretty popular opening and I think you can pretty much find a MAD of it to like the majority of popular MAD sources. It's also sung by KOTOKO who if you don't know actually writes her own songs like this one (please look her up!).

So actually you might know this song from a certain popular flash back in the day... Well if you don't I'm going to make a post on the flash board to jog your memory a little bit >>>/f/103/ Also here's an alternative link to Nico Nico Douga if it doesn't play for some reason https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21894449 [Play]

Song List: https://medley.bepis.io/wiki/Keyboard_Ketsu_Kaisen
I've been working on this for the past several days now, and this is probably the first time someone has ever translated a full otoMAD collaboration into English. So basically, if you didn't know, otoMAD collaborations tend to happen when there is usually some kind of event to celebrate, like someone in the source material having their birthday, or you know, it's the end of the year, which is more common. In those collaborations, the Japanese creators all get together months before it's supposed to be released in some group chat or through email and pick a medley, then get parts assigned to them that they will create for that medley. However, a lot of the time, it might be that there is a medley creator, and that collaboration will have its full-fledged Nico Nico Douga medley made. (Good collaborations, like this, are a thing of the past now).
There's a few translation notes so I want to get to that:
1. A lot of the translations here are basically just Danmaku comments so you might notice that when KBC says something twice but it is interpreted differently each time it's just something the viewers misheard it as and thought it would fit better than the original.
2. The [Shakugan no Shana II OP] (5:20), [GONG](06:00), and [Sing & Smile] (9:55) parts, I have altered the lyrics completely for those parts meaning it doesn't actually translate but is my own interpretation for those lyrics. I thought it was a rather huge shame that the creators of those parts didn't alter the lyrics even slightly to match KBC's source material since that's rather the whole point of making a otoMAD so I did it for them.
3. Yes, if you didn't notice the parts at 3:00 [Beatmania IIDX 7th Style - Stoic], 04:49 [Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan OP], 8:49 [Battle! Champion] were altered visually to English but particularly Stoic as I've changed the Japanese system language to English completely so I'll also provide a separate video of that without the added subtitles.
4. Regarding the first part when it comes to Marisa Stole the Precious Thing part I'm a bit confused about the 「誰がダレガ can't be alive without you」translation, because I know that all English interpretations of that lyrics say 「誰がダレガ」 as "Who are you? Who are you? can't be alive without you" but shouldn't it be interpreted as Alice saying to Marisa "Who couldn't continue living without you?" due to her tsundere feelings towards Marisa? Anyways I did find an at.wiki page for the song that explains the meaning of it: https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/16297.html
