Lord of the Rings MAD... (;° w °)Wait what!? Anonymous Thu 24/04/2025 6:30:10 AM 18 days ago MER No. 88
You probably didn't think someone would pull this number, did you...
A not so serious thread about the small amount of MADs available on Nico Nico Douga about LOTR, and If it does get stale and I run out of videos I might just use this thread to post MADs of some other western movies available on NND.
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15471114 [Play]
So a bit of history behind the first video. The MMD creator kiyoP discovered the video by Moymoy Palaboy mimicking BACKSTREET BOYS Everybody (Backstreet's Back) MV with facial expressions and decided to create a MMD animation for the 7th MMD CUP out of it and actually released the animation files to be used by other users.
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15356644 [Play] I thought about going for humor, but it strangely became more manly. I might have made it a bit shorter because I lacked the energy and time.
It's specialized for models, so adjusting might be a bit troublesome, but if you still want to use it, please go ahead.

The funny thing with this LOTR MMD is that this video was just made a week and half after he released the animation files and submitted it for the same competition I guess...
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4186563 [Play]
The second video with Boromir is another awesome entry into the アッーウッウッイネイネ(0゚・∀・)tag which can be translated as "Aaa-uu-uu, i-ne i-ne" which is basically a misheard phrase found in the song Under My Skin: https://youtu.be/p8MKEPE_QMk?t=102 [Play] and you probably know it as Paffendorf where Momoko Kuzuryuu from "Sumomomo Momomo" dances in sync with the song.
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/アッーウッウッイネイネ%280゚・∀・%29
I was the first to attach this emoticon 「+(0゚・∀・)++」 to アッーウッウッイネイネ. The base of this emoticon is '+(0゚・∀・) + ワクテカ +' (In this context ワクテカ = wakuwaku tekateka = exciting, shiny) and I wanted to express the twinkling of the character's eyes with '++' and the shiny overall picture with ”0゚”. However, at some point '++' was removed and it became just (0゚・∀・)

Blogs seem like a dying medium nowadays so share any interesting blogs you come across on the internet new or old.

I found this one by chance called "eli's japan blog" which is about detailing their life in Japan. The one thing interesting post I came across was this one called "Yotsuba&! Exhibition of Original Manga Drawings" https://japan.elifessler.com/2023/11/12/yotsuba-exhibition-of-original-manga-drawings/ and the interesting part about it is the interactive part where people were invited to draw their own version Yotsuba's face and then have it put on the wall for everyone to see which man I wish some of these were circulating around imageboards as reaction images or something.

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.
https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/ニコニコオールスター
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/ニコニコオールスター
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.

I'd say that this is probably one of the most important videos to nico nico as it was voted as the best Hesei Era 音MAD.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q0oKdIh5AV8-2biDY8KYd_5uEB0-Im8EXShlf-z0I0Q/edit?gid=938737497#gid=938737497
The results were calculated by combining the first-round votes using Nico Nico Douga’s Mylist system and the second-round votes conducted via Google Forms.
For deleted videos, their original video, reposted versions, and modified versions (e.g., for deletion countermeasures) were all consolidated and counted as a single vote.
The rank assigned to each video by voters was averaged (only when explicitly provided).
In cases where videos had the same total vote count, this average rank value was used to determine the order.
(If both the vote count and average rank were identical, the videos were ranked in ascending order by their “sm” number.)
Within this sheet, uploader names are, as a rule, taken from the account that originally posted the video.
Accounts that were deleted at the time of aggregation have been grayed out.
Nico Nico Chart was used to help identify uploader names.
The numbers for video titles, uploader names, views, comments, and Mylist counts are as of October 14, 2019, at around 7:00 PM.

I am planning on maybe translating this video some time soon although I can't imagine how much time it would take up.

Rewatching this I'm really glad that it was just in time when the niconico community was finished for, and all otaku media post 2019 being centered around being a shitty orbiter for virtual youtubers and such. I just wish the foreigners on platform were never acknowledged but other than that it truly is like watching one of the ends to what made the Japanese internet so good. If only there was more gate-keeping to prevent such a thing from happening but with the new generation, overseas influences, and cut ties to the BBS origins, all of it was lost anyways. Not to say it was flawless after the golden era, but it was something special nonetheless.

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?

Something i was thinking is, Why not view imageboards as a blank slate? Especially if you are new to imageboards in general. Yes imageboards in the past themselves has history and in a way why does it matter? If i where an entry level newfag/normalnigger i wouldn't necessarily have to study lore or really anything to understand the format. Instead i would have to know two things. 1: Lurk Moar before posting. Read the rules, Then the Threads, And finally the post therein. After that: Ask Questions! Then, post. 2: Do not post outsider content (such as normalnigger memes) unless specified otherwise. Everything else such as fandoms and groups and formats such as flashes is no more then asking and slowly learning but although that is a personal choice to make.

Maybe I'm freaking out over nothing and it's really stupid but I came across this image on /pol/ and the thing that I don't understand is why in the fuck is Jim Watkins a moderator of 4chan...? Is this public knowledge or something and I just didn't know and if so why in the fuck is Jim Watkins moderating 4chan under the alias of RapeApe when he was publicly accused of stealing 2channel by Hiroyuki who then came in ownership of 4chan >>>https://anonymous-japan.org/fake2ch/
I was lurking the imageboard happenings thread on 4chan a while ago where RapeApe was mentioned to be GrapeApe but some users said that it was pure coincidence and that he confirmed in IRC that it was not him but then I bring your attention to this 2nd image of the supposed "Meet your 4chan moderators" that made its rounds on /pol/ years ago and take a look at the first name... "GrapeApe" Maybe some of you remember this post on the 2channel spelunking thread >>>/sewers/626/#1153 where it says that on 2channel Jim Watkins went under the alias of "Grape Ape ★"
Am I going crazy? What the fuck is going on?
Honestly though maybe I am confusing RapeApe with someone else or that guy is trolling by using this name knowing it's Jim Watkins.

from Desuarchive. Mind you the person mentions how Jim Watkins has a handle name of Grape Ape and that a similar mod is named RapeApe BUT NOT that RapeName also goes under another handle called GrapeApe. Also the last screenshot is just the WIRED article that talked about the scandal of the buffalo shooting and the involved with 4chan: https://archive.is/JiuRy What are the chances that Hiroyuki enlists a guy named RapeApe as his head moderator who also goes under the same handle name of GrapeApe that Jim Watkins went under...?

the backstory of these things spook me because of how all these people associate with eachother and all of the shady background things they do. jim watkins involvment with Qanon, (also 2chans relation to 8chan) hell i even remember a pic of jim, hotwheels, and mark the /v/ moderator doing coke with some strippers nearby and its just like, i thought this was like a small little website now they are making cash money, how are they getting shit and what are they doing to the imageboard sphere, and user IPs? i mean rapeape is trolling, i think he's canadian (and something about his original name being narutomod) but you never really know with these people. it's all so sad because imageboards have gotten so much shit for a place to be anonymous and talk about hobbies.

I've never really felt like I wanted to create an imageboard myself, but if I were to guess, I'd say it's probably gratifying when other people engage with something you've made/control. This is a very human feeling that also motivates artists (and many others too I bet). Additionally, creating a small community allows you to make it exactly how you like and to experiment with new ideas. I also suspect that some people enjoy the feeling of power and importance they get by being *the* site owner.

Personally, I've fantasized about making a website where people can spontaneously collaborate on projects. Like for example, someone records a guitar riff and uploads it, then another user adds a bass line, and then someone else adds drums or sings on top, until the song is complete. I've seen stuff like this happen on 4chan, but having a website specifically dedicated to this would be pretty cool. But I don't think I'll ever bother with it.

this is actually interesting because i renember a tidbit from the early days of disney animation studio attempting to produce a serious cartoon and the problem was that everyone was used to silly rubber hose cartoons and knew little of basic anatomy so every attempt to produce something serious failed and it infuriated walt to no fucking end, but eventually they got their shit together and eventually produced snow white.
i'm reading the shiki manga and something i noticed that there was a heavy usage of realism in the foreground or on a character when they have to emphasize something.

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.

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

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/.

Let us post/discuss more older and underrated Vocaloid videos by lesser known artists.
I made this thread in the hopes of getting actual interesting discussion going about the videos that are going to be posted in this thread so please don't just post a bunch of links and then fuck off.
When you post a video please elaborate in any way you can about that video whether it is describing the feeling you get when listening to it, talking about the artist and his other works, or posting any additional interesting details about that video.
Many of these videos do not have a translation so providing additional context to make the viewer understand what it is about would be appreciated,
or if you want you can subtitle the video yourself using a tool like https://github.com/Aegisub/Aegisub and translators like https://www.deepl.com/translator or https://openai.com/blog/whisper/
VIPPALOIDS are also welcome.

The translated title is: Satellite Love @ Miku-san (Original) by HMO
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5570346 [Play]
You can find the album here: https://mikudb.moe/album/hmo-and-works-neue-stimme/
I used to listen to this a lot back then especially when I was depressed or something I just would put this on and kind of drift to sleep in my bed. It's a rather very unique sounding song and I especially love how unique HMO makes Hatsune Miku's voice sound in this.

You know looking at this video I kind of got a community project idea so I'll just write it out before I forget it completely.
Basically we'd make a similar video using the same song (Maybe even slightly change it to fit 22chan style) where we would get someone to buy a suit that looks similar to how Anonymous looks and then they would recreate a similar looking box like she is holding with >>174's image inside of it and they would do a bunch of poses like the girl in the video showing off this box but instead of the background being real life places we would replace it with a bunch of random interesting internet websites and basically it would be as if 22chan is visiting all of these internet websites. We could also rewrite the lyrics of the song like those threads on /sewers/ that we have, ex: >>>/sewers/756/#756
Thoughts? Please let me know if this sounds retarded.

I would consider nothing to be impossible or retarded, Unless it attracts unwanted attention, And leads what little community we have left down the wrong path. I would also consider security, And logistics. If 4chan can do this https://files.catbox.moe/7qb03n.mp4 [Play] nothing is impossible. We can pretty much do anything.
What i mean by logistics is The people we have and their abilities. Remember that after the great purge we maybe have like 30 people or so. another this is for an example, If lyrics need to be sung i'd sound kinda retarded but i can do it anyway if needed. I am working on my art skills and really i can only draw shitty ms-paint art if that. I can write, and brainstorm and anything involving music is impossibe to me. I can attempt to write music lyrics but shit like lyrical flow isn't my thing lol.
That pretty much goes for everybody else, Some people might have actual musical skill or great drawing ability, It all depends on the amount of people we have.
It also depends of the nature of the project, Would we rely on the OP as a lynch pin? Would it be frustrating for you if its just you, and another person? Who would do the editing? Think of the neocities thread, Not to be rude to the OP of that project but since he's gone or dead any additions to the thread is impossible. (also it might be frustrating to an OP of a project if he is the only one that has to animate something by himself for an example) It can be argued the 22chan Album thread on /mu/ is the same but thanks to embeded mp3s it is now possible to continue the project forever. Even without the OP to add the project to bandcamp, the project lives on forever.
About privacy, As everyone knows this is an anonymous website so anything that can lead to people recognising eachother and so on is something to avoid. As you mentioned about the fellow dressed like anonymous, He should either stand in a room which is either blank or should take measures to make it like those green screen rooms they use to make movies or like what people do to photograph stuff to sell online. Covering walls and floors with sheets and such. I would ask the person to wear a green skinsuit under the suit too. Another factor is that he can literally take the pic of himself holding the thing and go and just draw over it (ms paint or otherwise to make himself look like anonymous. The latter might actually look pretty cool like A-ha's take on me
https://youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 [Play]
But that is my opinion and it depends on what everyone would find enjoyable.
Another thing about privacy is niggers and discord. The guy running the neocities thread had the password on the site and a bunch of niggers took advantage of that and shat on the project. Also those type of asshats from other communities trying to take advantage of a project like this to force culture and shit that didn't exist here or is unwanted. If someone from elsewhere wanted to help i don't see the problem with it, Just be wary of not letting people take advantage of shit.
I guess you'll have to see how many people might be interested in such a project and if years go by without any biters you might have to scale it down unless you plan on doing all the heavy lifting which might suck for you. I don't think its retarded at all, If you said something like "lets make a 22chan anime" i might have scoffed since thats a ton of work and takes alot of people to produce. This seems simple enougth.

>Remember that after the great purge we maybe have like 30 people or so.
I think it actually feels like we have half of that number or maybe even less which does feel a bit discouraging I should say. I checked a bunch of statistic websites which say we get around 500 unique lurkers daily, but sometimes it feels like it's just those 30 people refreshing the page repeatedly, or maybe it's just bots trying to scrape information from our site.
>If lyrics need to be sung i'd sound kinda retarded but i can do it anyway if needed.
I don't think you have to be a good singer to participate in something like that just as long as you tried to the best of your ability and aren't just shitting into your mic half of the time. Plus, nowadays, we can always use AI voices to mask our voices or software like Vocaloid or UTAU if anyone has experience with those tools.
>It also depends of the nature of the project, Would we rely on the OP as a lynch pin? Would it be frustrating for you if its just you, and another person? Who would do the editing?
Those questions and scenarios I guess should be going into account when writing up the OP of the thread in question. However, a lot of the time, it feels a bit like procrastination or just being told to not do it because we get stuck dwelling on these questions and just end up not creating anything to begin with.
> I would ask the person to wear a green skinsuit under the suit too.
Yeah I was thinking about that when I said mentioned an Anonymous suit but I guess they would have to figure out who is going to record them in the first place taking those shots. I guess they could just place a phone camera that takes a video in a bunch of random locations to match the same type of shots as in the original video and then just take screenshots from that video, but really just making sure they don't by accident share something that could compromise them.
>he can literally take the pic of himself holding the thing and go and just draw over it.
That would also be a good idea since the Anonymous character is somewhat easier to draw compared to a lot of other things since he is just a lot less detailed.
> Also those type of asshats from other communities trying to take advantage of a project like this to force culture and shit that didn't exist here or is unwanted. If someone from elsewhere wanted to help i don't see the problem with it, Just be wary of not letting people take advantage of shit.
Yeah that is important to take into account and so it is important that we base the video on the current 22chan imageboard culture and not let some random outsider come in and try to insert their own shit into this.

Alright then, So the thread should just be made anyhow. Win or lose, Interest or disinterest, It is better to have the thread up then not trying anything at all. Having it up Also means that people might be intrested in the site in a good way and it might help build a userbase. Also what ever stragglers that browse here regularly will have something fun to do on the regular. The goal now is to make it accessable as possible for anyone to join in, To explain how this shit will be made and make as many threads as possible to help make it. Your probably better off having several threads to make it easier to talk, and create shit, As you mentioned that one thread could be made for the music re-write, another can be made for art and so on.
