Kodomo no Jikan Ending Parodies (2007)

I’m still not a big fan of ending/beginning parodies.

Western, Eastern,or otherwise.

Maybe it’s one of those meme/fanart questions.

Jostin, could you find proof that it spread beyond its original subculture?

That would help.

What do you mean by its original subculture, Capt? I was srsly kinda confused by that part. If you’re talking about the Kodomo no Jikan anime, it has definitely spread from there to other animes. If you’re talking about NND, it has spread from there to Youtube and other video sharing websites. If you’re talking about Japanese media in general, yes it has spread from there to western media as well. Here’s an example to prove the last statement.

If that’s not what you meant, could you kindly be more elaborate about what you’re trying to say? Thanks.

Well ess aych aye tee.

I was thinking about the subculture as people who know of the show.

But I don’t think that really is a subculture.

I’m not talking about the videos themselves but the people behind the videos.

Or simply: do you have to know the series to “get” the meme?

Not really. I’ve never watched the show but I get the meme.

Understandable.

I still don`t like the idea of beginning/endings parodies, though.

This should actually be a sub-meme under MADs.
I just felt like pointing that out…

Thanks, CM. You’re actually right. Fix’d.

Technically this should be the meme, since Kodomo no Jikan totally ripped off of it. Strange, isn’t it?
Just listen to it, the similarities are uncanny, too much to be a coincidence.

@ mtallmen

ZOMG!! My mind just asplode! Adding it into the article right now as the original song which Little Non replicated the rhythm of. Though, the article is properly named because it is then ending of the show, not any part of the song, that is being parodied.

@mtallmen 184: Holy crap! Maybe that was the inspiration for Hanamaru Sensation.

Fix’d.

Offspring didn’t make the song, they just covered it. It’s really a 60’s hit by Carole King.

@ Jostin

Personally, I don’t hear any similarity between Hanamaru Sensation and the song you’re referring to. Just because two songs have the same title, doesn’t mean one is a cover of the other. Songs can have the same title, but still be completely different. I really believe that The Offspring’s version of the song has no relation to The Chiffon’s version, and The Offspring’s One Fine Day is actually the inspiration for Hanamaru Sensation,and as such, should be the one featured on this page.

Sorry for the TL;DR

@ mntallmen

Your personal opinion is your personal opinion but I shall retort you with the fact that I don’t just state things, I base them off of fact and research.

Go to this Wikipedia link and check out the last paragraph in the heading and you’ll see that I’m right. The Offspring’s version may be closer, but theirs is not the original.

@Jostin: I think what he meant was that The Offspring’s version is closer to Hanamaru Sensation than The Chiffon’s version.

@ Shadowfury

It is closer, but it’s not the original. I have to give tribute to the original because (for all we know) there might be an even closer sounding song than the Offspring version and we have to give tribute to that. It’s best this way.

Alright seriously now, does the Chffrons song have any of the same lyrics, rhythm, melody, or anything else in common with The Offspring song other than the title? You can’t trust everything Wikipedia says.

I did some even deeper digging than I did the last time (even having to translate several Japanese pages) and have seen that everyone who has realized it states the resemblance to Offspring’s song BUT Little Non has given no proof to copying it so there’s no proof of it still. Though, the similarities are uncanny so I have to give it to you, mtallmen. I fixed the article just for you.

BTW, I have noticed that my proof on Wikipedia has mysteriously disappeared. You don’t, by any chance, have an account on that site, do you?

@Jostin

Thank you for editing the article. As to why Little Non hasn’t admitted to copying it, I’m pretty sure if you admitted to copying something and using it to make a profit that would just be a lawsuit waiting to happen LOL

I do have an account on Wikipedia, but it wasn’t me who changed the article

@ mtallmen

Thanks for forcing me to change it so as to push me to research further and get my facts right. I’m always grateful to people who help with the betterment of my articles or anyone else’s articles for that matter.

Yeah, I guess that would be a serious case for Little Non. I hope Offspring doesn’t mind it that much.

About the Wikipedia article, it’s strange how it just disappeared. Is this strange coincidence or is the FBI messing around with my internets for the umpteenth time? lol

Are you guys still controversial about confirming Anime Opening/Ending Parodies? What’s the big deal all about anyways? Simpsons opening parodies were done IRL, these were done OTI for NND. Major difference there unless if there’s something I’m not getting here.
