It Came From The Youtubes!: The "Haruhi Dance"
Chances are better than not that you've seen this dance more than a few times. However, if you haven't seen it, the "Haruhi Dance" came from a choreographed dance performed at the ending of the anime "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya". The dance is performed by the animated cast to the show to the sound of Hare Hare Yukai or "Sunny Sunny Happiness" in English. A song performed by Aya Hirano, Minori Chihara, and Yoko Goto. It's questionable as to which ended up being more popular in Japan, the musical single or the anime. What isn't questionable is that the "Haruhi Dance" has cemented itself into the otaku culture. Here's a few videos that may show how wide spread the dance has become.
The Original
The clean ending to Haruhi Suzumiya
Megaman Edition
Yes, Even video games aren't safe. I ask you. Can boss-bots really be that evil if they dance like this?
Neon Genesis Evangelion Edition
I'm so glad they chose Ramial out of the angels to dance. She's always had the best rhythm.
The Filipino Prison Edition
Wow! That person of questionable gender in the front is really into it! This is real. The prison started doing choreographed dance routines during there exercise periods. You can also find videos of them doing the dance from Michael Jackson's, "Thriller."

It Came From The Youtubes!: The Nico Nico Douga Medley
Hello again. everyone. This is the first of many posts I will creating to keep the blog fresh and keep it from becoming just another place to download the podcast. More or less any video I find interesting or funny having to do with anime or Japanese stuff will go up in between shows. Of course I have a ton of these in mind already but
I'll spread out the releases so I don't overwhelm a single post. Keep checking back for more vids. ~Neokage
Nico Nico Douga Medley put to Automatic Mario
For those who don't know, Nico Nico Douga is a Japanese site similar to Youtube that is firmly embedded in the otaku culture. Most of the Japanese made video game/anime spoof videos you find on Youtube were originally posted there. At some point a large group of fans of the site decided to write a "medley" for it. This ended up being a marathon of small segments from several fan favorite anime/ video game songs. You can find a million postings of the medley, but this is the first time I've heard it displayed along with a video that obviously ate up several days of some fans life. If you can sit through the whole thing, see how many songs you can recognize.
