There's barely if not any English discussion about Nico Nico Douga left on the internet so I thought I'd make this thread to let people share any interesting medleys found on the Nico Nico Medley Series tag https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/ニコニコメドレーシリーズ
Discuss basically anything about the medleys you're going to share whether it's a just a single part that evicts emotions or memories inside of you or any additional information that the average person wouldn't know about the medley and its author.
No overseas medleys, and make sure to check if there's maybe an entry for the medley at medley.bepis.io before posting since that provides quite a lot information.

If you used to frequently browse the internet back then it would be hard to not have heard at least one of these three nico nico douga medleys which are also called The Big Three:

Kumikyoku (Super Suite): https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm500873 [Play]
Ryuuseigun (Meteor Shower): https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2959233 [Play]
Nanairo (Rainbow/7 Colors of): https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm7233711 [Play]
All of them using popular songs at the time on Nico Nico Douga they were all produced by Shimo and are usually referred to as the medleys that defined the early days of Nico Nico Douga with Kumikyoku being the 2nd offical entry in the tag that created thousands upon thousands of medleys inspired by it and "I tried to sing" videos and more.

You can refer to these articles for more information about the medleys which also include a song list.

Shimo produced quite a lot of medleys and I think my favorite of his must the Danjiri Matsuri 2009 medley that he produced: https://files.catbox.moe/mz3i1t.mp3 [Play]

Kirby Suite "THE MEDLEY OF KIRBY SSDX"
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4019378 [Play]
Kirby medleys were created similar to the concept of Nico Nico Douga medleys, and the NND article in this case is a very nice read as it includes commentary from the creator as to why the songs were put into that order.

When it comes to Kirby, "Green Greens!" is definitely the go-to! That's why I decided to start with it. Although, to be honest, it's actually the intro to the "Mysterious Paradise Area" in Kirby's Adventure. I originally planned to follow it up with the title song, but I thought, maybe the original title song is the better choice. I could have gone with "Fountain of Dreams," but let's just say it's a matter of personal preference. Speaking of which, about 80% of the song selection this time is based on my own preferences.

I personally absolutely love this medley and listen to this while working out sometimes. The Begin Treasure Hunting part always makes me laugh out loud since it instantly reminds me of the Gayby's Dream Land 3: Stick-thrusting Operation (Video 2)

Nanairo (Rainbow/7 Colors of): 7th Anniversary (Chorus Version)
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm29468530 [Play]
Let's talk a bit about the 合唱シリーズ (Chorus Series) tag because it might confuse people as to who the people are singing and why the avatar and signature is there as I previously used to think that it might have been the official VAs of the characters but that's completely wrong.

The Chorus Series tag applies to videos where a author takes previously sung solo videos by various authors and combines them together as seen in the medley above to create a pseudo-chorus effect by synchronizing the voices of different performers. Some works may include performance videos (visually shown singing or w/instruments, etc.) or the original singer or VOCALOID mixed in.
It's also not to be confused with the 合唱 (Chorus) tag as it refers to videos where the audio data is recorded and uploaded by the singers themselves specifically for the purpose of creating that particular video where as mentioned Chorus series takes already previously sung videos and combines them together.

From my personal experience a lot of the videos with the Chorus Series tag are hit or miss as I have found many of them to sound absolutely terrible when combining the various awful microphone frequencies together.

The Avatar System includes assigning a character to specific singers. The avatar images used are often based on the singer's handle name (HN), characteristics of their singing or videos, or the preferences and imagination of the Chorus Series creator.
This method gained popularity around the summer of 2008 and is sometimes referred to as the "裏ンティス" (UraNtis) method." The avatar images are unified with characters directly related to the music, particularly VOCALOID. In such cases, different artists differentiate the avatars instead of differentiating the characters themselves.
This method often involves a more selective choice of singers, switching singers not only by phrases but even by individual notes.

If you are wondering about the UraNtis term: https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/裏ンティスの人
There is also a hand drawn avatar method which refers to a method where the creator manually draws avatars to represent the singers involved in the video. These avatars are based on either the fixed character or icon associated with the borrowed singer or the artistic interpretation of the creator themselves.

組曲「らき☆すた動画」(Suite "Lucky Star Douga") MAD Completed Version
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2053794 [Play]
This is by far one of the best medleys that I managed to watch and listen to. While I wasn't initially a big fan of Lucky Star, my perspective changed after discovering the MAD videos on Nico Nico Douga using the Lucky Star source material in very creative ways. This specific medley is a suite that includes various songs from Lucky Star including the Character Songs series: https://nyaa.si/view/38636

It's worth noting that this medley is an official release and is actually included in the らき☆すたRe-Mix002~『ラキスタノキワミ、アッー』【してやんよ】~ CD as 06 - Kumikyoku Lucky Star Douga. The uploader on NND added the fantastic PV portrayal of all the characters in this particular case.

The arrangement is done by Akira Kagami, who was responsible for the music in the anime. The title and composition of the suite are clearly inspired by the Nico Nico Douga Medley Series. However, there is no official video included with the suite (although unofficial videos created by fans later surfaced).
As a side note, the record label Lantis, which released this CD, later released a CD titled "ランティス組曲" (Lantis Kumikyoku). In response to this suite, the creator of the "組曲『ニコニコ動画』" (Kumikyoku "Nico Nico Douga"), Shimo, created a video called "ニコニコ動画流星群" (Nico Nico Douga Ryuuseigun (Meteor Shower)) featuring the song

Kumikyoku (Super Suite): Higurashi no Naku Koro ni ver. Complete Version

This medley originally was uploaded to Nico Nico Douga several times with each upload the authors trying to improve the quality until the "I tried to sing" version came along. There's not much information about this specific medley with no special tags that have their own wiki article so I won't have to say much this time around.
The Youtube upload also has 2 million views compared to the Nico Nico Douga version with 160,000 views.
A long time ago as well there was an English-subtitled version of the medley was uploaded on YouTube. Although it was subsequently deleted, it was later reuploaded which is the file I will be including this time around.
This medley never fails to bring a smile to my face. The voices in the medley closely resemble those of the original voice actors, and the hilariously amusing lyrics effectively encapsulate the essence of the show. It becomes really hard for me to click off of it once the video starts playing.

While I couldn't locate an English article this time, I will provide a response to another comment that contains the original Japanese lyrics from the medley:

I was browsing foreign language medley videos on Nico Nico Douga until suddenly this video sung by Ottergang appeared...
I was out of breath laughing so much that I almost passed out on the floor, because it's like a fever dream after a night's browsing of /pol/.
