For posting and discussing MADs featuring video games which also includes Gunsync since >>>/cre8/21/ was repurposed for creating (it's a mix of both anyways).
Similarly to the Anime MAD thread >>>/a/389/#389 please don't post any YTPMV Cover-styled MADs（原曲不使用）although in this case I guess it doesn't really matter who made it as long as it's good.
There were a few Dead Space MADs already uploaded to some threads which gives you kind of an idea of what's possible to find under https://www.nicovideo.jp/search/ゲーム%20MAD it's pretty common for you to see MADs of Japanese video games but pretty rare for western ones unless there's some kind of meme about it.
This Detroit Become Human 音MAD by miyota as an example was started because of the scene in Detroit Become Human in the Japanese dub where apparently Connor screams "Open up! Detroit Police!" and the VA didn't know whether the scene was taking place inside or outside so this quiet scene turned funny with that context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgnXYjZ-z1k [Play] but I think it's the only decent MAD that uses more than that material from the game and also trailers. Has to be probably one of my favorite ones now and shows the kind of potential there is with this stuff.

This thread is for discussing and sharing videos that focus on Nico Nico Douga's community or the platform itself. Such videos typically feature tags like ニコニコオールスター (Nico Nico All-Star) which is a tag used for videos that prominently showcase popular characters, inside jokes, cultural references, and other elements iconic to Nico Nico Douga.

To clarify, it's not just for videos found on the site, but for videos that reflect on the site itself, as well as videos purely about Nico Nico Douga as a platform or website.
[Hyadain - Me, Myself, and NicoNico Douga (ぼくとわたしとニコニコ動画)] I would heavily encourage to read the description of both the English translation uploaded to Youtube and the nico nico article.

When I read this part I burst out a bit in laughter.
At the Nico Nico Conference, the song was performed as the second-to-last piece, sung by all the live performers. It was Hyadain’s first appearance at the event and his first time singing in front of an audience in a while. He handled the rap and male vocal parts solo, energizing the climax of the live show. During this performance, Hyadain filled in the 「○○○○」 part of the lyrics with "Gachimuchi," confirming it was the correct intended lyric.
This thread is exclusively for discussing the Wrestling Series (レスリングシリーズ). I want to emphasize that the focus will be strictly on the Japanese instance, and any discussion of its overseas counterparts is absolutely prohibited. This includes posting videos or content created by overseas creators. Also, please keep the celebrity and character completely separate from each other.
Beginning in June 2007, users on 2channel's YouTube board began to suspect that the MyList rankings on Nico Nico Douga were being manipulated. This led to the creation of an official term called 工作 (Manipulation) after a July 1st thread pointed out the artificial inflation of views, comments, and MyLists. By July 27, 2007, a thread titled ニコニコマイリストのランキング工作動画について (Regarding Mylist Ranking Manipulation Videos on Nico Nico Douga) was created, marking a significant moment as it was dedicated to resisting ranking manipulation on Nico Nico Douga. The discussion in the thread mainly centered around the activities of a group known as 80垢 (80 Accounts), derived from the practice of adding 400 Mylist votes to several videos in the early hours, with 400/5 = 80 accounts (since each account could create up to 5 Mylists at that time). Their activities were particularly noticeable during the early morning hours, where they would push videos like the infamous "The Idolmaster KOTOKO Princess Bride!" (https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm280671 [Play], IM@S was a pioneer in ranking manipulation believe it or not) and "Tsurupettan" to the top of the Nico Nico Douga Mylist rankings, suggesting a coordinated effort. As this method was exposed, discussions in the thread intensified and attracted not only those who aimed to raise awareness about the issue but also individuals who wanted to exploit it, including 信者 (Believers/Fans), アンチ (Antis/Foes), and ただの愉快犯 (Just Pranksters) who looked at 80 Account as a deity. This led to either 順工作 (Forward Manipulation, where users manipulate trends, excluding genuinely popular videos) or 逆工作 (Reverse Manipulation, where users vandalize videos suspected of manipulation). The creators of the videos who were caught in the crossfire often deleted their videos because of this. Other users in the thread adopted a more radical approach, deciding to engage in manipulation themselves as a way to raise awareness about the problem. This led to the thread’s original purpose being sidetracked, eventually resulting in the split of users and the creation of the ニコニコ動画工作支持スレ【80垢神】 (Nico Nico Douga Manipulation Support Thread) General, on the same day, where users began organizing their own manipulations, partly as a form of protest against the 80 Accounts.
Members of the Manipulation Support thread began to manipulate a video called アメリカン ゲイ レスリング2 (American Gay Wrestling 2, https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm200572 [Play]) that was uploaded on April 26, 2007, which depicted two men wrestling with the saturation on max and low video quality. After, a few more videos were uploaded to the アメゲイ (Amegay) series until August 10, 2007, when the first video titled 本格的 ガチムチパンツレスリング (Authentic Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling) from the Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling series was uploaded and manipulated into the rankings. However, it was shortly deleted due to the original creator deactivating his account, but then reuploaded on September 30, 2007: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1175788 [Play]
Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling (GPW) is a wrestling style with a special rule: if your pants get taken off, you lose.
So why did this video become one of the key driving forces behind Nico Nico Douga's Golden years, and why does it remain one of the most viewed videos on the platform, with 9.8 million views to this day? This wasn’t just some passing joke; it became deeply ingrained in Japanese otaku culture, being referenced in anime, video games, news, and even on game talk shows, cementing its place in the Japanese internet otaku sphere.
The reason is the same as why a lot of other foreign media on the platform gained popularity during that era: 空耳 (mishearings). The two men wrestling in the video, Billy Herrington (a.k.a Aniki) and Danny Lee (a.k.a Kiyoshi Kazuya), had thick New England/Canadian accents combined with intense grunting, which led Japanese viewers to mishear nearly every line as something completely different in their own language.
For example, when Aniki shouts to Kazuya, "Huh? How do you like that, huh?" it was misheard as Thick and Saucy Fried Rice and now Aniki's favorite food is Ankake Chahan:
(Aniki) "Huh? How do you like that, huh?" ->「あぁん？あんかけチャーハン？」-> "Aan? Ankake chyaahan?" -> "Huh? Thick and Saucy Fried Rice?"
A lot of the character names too are based on mishearings such as for example Creamstew Ikeda from Shinnippori Fire Station (Firefighters): https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5348773 [Play]
(Aniki): I'm finished with you, get up -> くりぃむしちゅー池田 -> Kuriimushichuu Ikeda -> Creamstew Ikeda
But a lot of them are actually derived from how close a character looks to some kind of celebrity like Hatakeyama Bacon who resembles both the Japanese lightweight boxer Takanori Hatakeyama and American actor and musician Kevin Bacon.
I included a translation I made of the original Professional Pants Wrestling video posted to Nico Nico Douga (Video 1). In the next few posts, I'll try to continue explaining a bit more about the Manipulation Incident history and things such as the popular Sanshin of Fairy Philosophy by Pants Wrestling Aniki.

A thread about posting and discussing Anime Sound/MADs.
Feel free to share what you like about a particular Anime MAD or the Anime it's about, also, if you have any referenced parts that might seem mysterious to you use the provided tags/comments on a video to find more about it, or feel free to ask here.
Q. How do I search for Anime MADs on Nico Nico Douga?
A. Refer to the video posted in this thread: >>>/b/1833
Also particularly regarding Anime MADs, many studios have the ability to take down any video containing even a small clip of their anime on Nico Nico Douga, but many of them choose not to do so because they recognize that Anime MADs, from an analytical standpoint, have actually helped them achieve many more sales than they could have otherwise which was especially relevant back then. Of course, there are a few instances like the Anime Rurouni Kenshin (KYM) where Fuji TV will seize any opportunity to remove any type of video featuring their anime, even if it's just a small clip. So, the workaround for that was to collaborate and completely re-animate parts of the series that were frequently used in MAD videos, so Fuji TV couldn't claim it as their property.
Please try to refrain from posting anything created by overseas individuals and any YTPMV Cover-styled MADs; you can usually identify those using tags like 「原曲不使用」 (Original Song Not Used: that recreate the entire BGM with a bunch of fake instrumentally sounding samples).
You do not need to translate a MAD in order to post it here, although I bet it would be greatly appreciated by anyone browsing the thread, and often you can find the lyrics online. If you do decide to do it, here are a few tools you could probably use:
Subtitle Software: https://github.com/Ristellise/AegisubDC or https://github.com/arch1t3cht/Aegisub
Translation: Deepl.com, Rikai-kun(Chrome Extension)/Rikai-tan(Firefox Extension) and ChatGPT.
OCR Software: https://github.com/kha-white/manga-ocr (pip install and then run with powershell or cmd using a command like "./manga_ocr" in conjunction with the capture function found in something like ShareX: https://getsharex.com/)
I spent some time picking out these for the thread:

About that Anime that the Lucky Star video is parodying it is completely unknown to foreigners. It's basically about some alien angel that came to earth to help a unlucky boy who then creates more accidents, and I'm unsure if you can even find any subtitles for the episodes anywhere. The opening song as you might have noticed is hinting at something dirty, and believe it or not it was aired at 6 PM slot on Sunday when kids were watching the show: https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/16297.html
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire song revolves around the chorus.
Clearly singing about a certain body part, right?
The most important issue is that "Hanasaka Tenshi Tenten-kun" aired on Saturday evenings at 6 o'clock.
As Shonen Jump has many child readers, Shueisha probably took that into account and scheduled the broadcast for the evening. However, the lyrics clearly pick a fight with the PTA.
Originally, this dirty joke-filled song...
originated when Tenten-kun, amidst classmates worrying about the other protagonist Hideyuki, suggested, "Let's sing together to cheer ourselves up."
His classmates immediately retorted, "Can we sing lyrics like these?" which left many readers bursting into laughter. It was a scene that no one would have imagined a few months later becoming the theme song of the anime adaptation.
During the broadcast, the Bla Bla Bla Boozes, who were performing the theme song on a variety show that handled Fuji TV anime, appeared in bizarre attire. (Even Shonen Jump's magazine commented, "Who are these guys?")
When the program's host, Koji Imada, asked, "You were clearly saying 'that,' right?" regarding the lyrics:
"I'm just talking about being stiff," was the reply.
During the chorus, even the female backup singers seem to take a step back from the microphone.
No matter how ambiguously expressed, it sounds nothing but obscene...
Moreover, this program aired during prime time.6 replies (and 14 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)

I wanted to revive the 4chan discussion thread for a while now, but I kind of didn't know what a good OP would be to attract attention to the thread and generate interesting discussion. So I took and translated this video by OwataP, about Owacons, who encapsulates all of the rage he had for Nico Nico Douga's management ever since Dwango partnered together with KADOKAWA in 2010 and then acquired in 2014 when the site's management slowly started to become a corporate hell making one terrible decision after another starting really with Nico Nico Douga Zero "Return to Origin" a large-scale update that fundamentally changes the system for the worst (read: https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/ニコニコ動画%3Azero) So this actually transitions pretty well into this topic since Hiroyuki the current administrator of 4chan used to be a director at Niwango which was created by Dwango to mainly manage Nico Nico Douga, until he left in 2013.
I want this thread to encapsulate discussion about 4chan and other discussion forums in general that have shit management and treat its userbase like complete utter trash (such as collecting as much data as possible and then selling it whether its to advertisement companies or three-letter agencies like just imagine the folder structures on 4chan for example regarding everyone's data that's on there used to try and identify you.)
The questions I really wanted to ask in this thread are:
What was so excruciatingly bad about these places that made you want to leave and seek out a place like 22chan or other alternative imageboards/textboards?
Although very unlikely to happen, are you worried that if 22chan ever took off that the same problems that arose in those other places you left start appearing here, and do you think there are ways to prevent this from happening?14 replies (and 9 file replies) omitted.

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.

This thread will feature videos from the 歌ってみた (I tried to sing) tag from Nico Nico Douga: https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/歌ってみた
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/歌ってみた
The tag is attached to videos where users on Nico Nico Douga record themselves singing and is one of the much more popular tags on there. The tag includes videos in various forms like singing over karaoke tracks, adding vocals to instrumental music, preparing your accompaniment, and creating completely original songs.
I want to start off this thread with one of Hyadain's I tried to sing videos. https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8887200 [Play] I found it initially while working for working on another project for the Medley thread. This is basically a remix of BATTLE2 from Romancing SaGa. This is actually his 44th work as mentioned in the description and it features a guest singer RIKO-san who sings the part of Sif.
I'll be honest I never played any of the Romancing SaGa games, but man... While translating this and listening to the song over and over again I actually began feeling something for the characters due to the seriously well composed lyrics. I think the part that got me the most was Sif's mention of throwing away her dreams as bridal life and throwing an axe instead of a banquet. Fucking amazing. I will follow up this thread later with another entry into Romancing SaGa that I found.
If you don't know about Hyadain (Kenichi Maeyamada) early on he used to mainly sing songs of old game BGMs where he would rearrange them and make up his own lyrics. He is known for an outstanding arrangement sense, the humor he incorporated into his works, being able to change of his voice (the female parts are usually all sung by him) and for a extraordinarily high pace of releasing new songs. He is probably the most popular I tried to sing singers on Nico Nico Douga who is also partly responsible for Nico Nico Douga's growth as a community.
He revelead back in 2010 on his blog that his real name was actually Kenichi Maeyamada who is responsible for composing J-POP and anime songs. His major debut... well... you probably know the anime Nichijou, right? He made the opening theme Hyadain no Kakakata☆Kataomoi-C: https://youtu.be/osWXbe7MbGE [Play] and https://youtu.be/1Xxnp0Q1GYQ [Play]
Isn't it fascinating to contemplate the hidden contributors behind the growth of the Nico Nico Douga community? Like I think it's quite amusing to imagine some prominent individuals like this secretly crafting anonymous accounts and creating MAD videos for tags like Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling...

This thread exists to explain to the anons browsing twentytwo on how to use the Japanese otaku video-sharing website Nico Nico Douga (Smile Video). So by the end of this I am hoping you will be able to upload videos, create mylists, and search for videos properly.
Nico Nico Douga's English variation platform was abolished recently although it wasn't really usable to begin with given how poorly it was maintained and nothing was explained to the user in the end.
I will also mention that the website best works with chromium based browser (I recommend ungoogled chromium, free of spyware) with Firefox there is tons of stuttering and slow loading times making it really unusable a lot of the times.
I will start off with Nico Nico Douga's Navigation Bar and explain what each of these tabs are.
