&lt;p&gt;The original video was created by &lt;a href=http://www.nicovideo.jp/user/145217&gt;Shimo (&#12375;&#12418;)&lt;/a&gt;, a user of the site.

&lt;p&gt;A second medley was uploaded on June 23 of the same year and was called &lt;a href=http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm500873&gt;Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga (&#32068;&#26354;&#12302;&#12491;&#12467;&#12491;&#12467;&#21205;&#30011;&#12303;)&lt;/a&gt;. This medley is considered the most popular in the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/FrWgcSi5ACo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/FrWgcSi5ACo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second version&amp;#8217;s views launched to over 1.8 million in no more than 2 months. From July to August in 2007, the video maintained first position in number of views, with over 3.3 million comments, and was in over 100,000 Japanese mylists at the height of its popularity. Its popularity sky-rocketed even more through the popularity of the series&amp;#8217; subsequent videos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On September 9, 2007, the original author uploaded &lt;a href=http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1027371&gt;Nico Nico Douga Monogatari.wav (&#12491;&#12467;&#12491;&#12467;&#21205;&#30011;&#29289;&#35486;.wav)&lt;/a&gt;. Because of its length, there is no single video for it on Youtube and is instead broken up into three parts.
