This thread will serve as our starting point to work together as a community and remake the music video for "DAY TRIPPER" by HMO (HATSUNE MIKU ORCHESTRA): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7fAN7_7Gfw [Play] in the style of 22chan.
You can find the full album this video is part of here: http://mikudb.moe/album/zoshoku-gimi-x-near-equal-multiplies/
(If you haven't noticed, the original song is "Day Tripper" by The Beatles.)
A bit about the group that made the original video: HMO started as just one person when Hatsune Miku's voicebank initially released and was considered one of the main VOCALOID producers out there. Their main goal was to recreate songs by the music group 'Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO)', which was active from 1978 to 1983: https://youtu.be/Wmed0gmwzKY [Play]. They also worked hard to make Hatsune Miku's voicebank sing in English. You can basically find a cover from HMO of every album YMO has made utilizing Hatsune Miku's voicebank.

Based on the idea from >>>/b/302/#1653, we'll replace the girl in the music video with someone wearing a suit that resembles Anonymous' outfit, complete with a greenscreen suit underneath. They'll also need to either make or buy a box similar to the one in the music video, place the image from >>>/b/302/#390 inside, and then imitate the poses with the box for a photo or video. Remember, protecting our anonymity is crucial, so don't accidentally reveal your identity. Another great idea mentioned by another anon is to take a picture of yourself and then draw over it which will add a unique touch to the video while protecting your anonimity.
We need to decide on the background, but the initial thought was to collect a variety of interesting website links as if 22chan is visiting different places online. However, I'm considering expanding the options to include stuff like real-life locations or in-game screenshots. What do you think?
For the lyrics, if anyone has some great ideas, we could rewrite them like the lyric rewrite threads on /sewers/ (see: >>>/sewers/756#756). The original lyrics to the DAY TRIPPER video can be found at this link: https://amara.org/videos/F0FkKyXEzb2U/en/287118/ or in this image from the official album: https://files.catbox.moe/f1h0sx.jpg [Show]. If anyone is interested, you can also sing the rewritten lyrics or recreate the vocals in something like UTAU or Vocaloid. On another note, I'm currently working on the UTAU voicebank for Niniba, so stay tuned for that!
We will also need to discuss the original meaning of the video, like is there any meaning as to why this girl is in Akihabara holding the box in these random places? How does it correlate to the song's lyrics? Why does it say X = Multiplies? and so on.
Lastly, it's important to note that when we recreate the video in the style of 22chan, we should base it on the current imageboard culture of 22chan, and not let outsiders inject their unrelated shit into our project.
In my next post, I will try to discuss information about the project a bit more, but again I will link the 22chan software thread because the stuff here will be required to make the video (>>>/b/1239#1239).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4hWMqYCGKQ [Play] This is what the album is based on and HMO's version has similar tracks to this with their own comedy sketches yet they are all in Japanese as to where here some of them are in English (Please listen to it!)
In HMO'S version the comedy sketches (HMO ON THE AIR) also include their own images to represent them visually so I'll upload them as files to this post.

The album contains songs recorded between 1978 and 1980.
The American release of the album came about because Horizon Records, which was supposed to release YMO's album "Solid State Survivor" in the U.S., ceased operations. As a result, "Solid State Survivor" was not initially available in the U.S. Subsequently, A&M Records compiled this best-of album, which included tracks from "Solid State Survivor" and the already released Japanese album "増殖" (Zōshoku, translated as "Multiplication").
Haruomi Hosono, a member of YMO, was against the release of "X∞Multiplies" in Japan because it contained the same tracks as "増殖," which had just been released, and he feared it would cause confusion.
X∞Multiplies (Verb, about ongoing increase) - Suggests that something is growing or increasing without end. This could basically be interpreted as the band's creative output multiplying or their influence spreading infinitely, which is why you see the same person multiplied on the cover infinitely.
X≒Multiples (Noun, about similarity) - Suggests a comparison when you add the same number of things over and over, akin to having several versions or instances of a theme or element (basically the same thing as the previous definition). Visually represented by Miku's recurring image on the cover, it symbolizes the replication of her music's essence across the world as if she is taking over?
So with X≒TwentyTwo we are basically saying that X it is in some way similar to or not much different from twenty-two. Basically it could mean that X embodies qualities or attributes that are close to TwentyTwo which I guess is pretty good way to put it?
I was trawling da interwebz for sheet music and found an orchestral score for Day Tripper. It reminded me of this thread and made me think, "is this a good offering to raise a stillborn thread from its little baby grave?" Then I remembered that death doesn't exist on 22chan so it was a silly question anyway
