Okay, it's time to do something fun after doing something tiring (glares at the Che Guevara entry).

Most of the details about this are in this past discussion in the comments of this parent entry that Chris made: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/nico-nico-douga

Now, I'm gonna act like Dora and say that, "I need your help" for this entry, since I'm hardly Jap and I know nothing about Nico Nico Douga other than it's Japanese and you share videos there. I haven't even gone to the site yet because of my fear of staring at a page that's riddled with a language I don't understand. Thank God for Youtube!

Speaking of Youtube, make sure to check these medleys out on Youtube because they're great. Long, but great.

To those who have been greatly annoyed by the Japanese musical memes for some reason or another, don't attempt to watch these things because you are sure to become an heroes if you do.

Have fun!

Annoying like the Paffendorf Dance?
You can always use Google Translator to make your way through the jungle that is Nicovideo.

No, not that annoying. Nothing can be more annoying than the Paffendorf song other than most of the IOSYS songs. These medleys are actually nice to listen to if you have the patience to go through the whole ten minutes or more. Here's the list of the official Kumikyoku medleys that were made by Shimo so that you can listen to them yourself and critique them on your own:

Great. Now if only YouTube videos would stop freezing on me.
There is something more annoying than the Paffendorf dance! It's this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Va4WhQ1d3M

@ Genius

Great going! Now my ear buds are crying.

@ Chris

Thanks, I might make myself an account to be able to research this better. But, dammit still. I'm going to have a lot of "fun" when I translate stuff from that site over and over again.

Sounds like a "party"
I'm still going in with Google Translator, even as poor as the grammar is.

I made an account. Now all I have to do is figure out which of those groups of characters in that jungle of Japanese is the title of the video I'm currently watching… (cry)… This will be tough.

Yeah, who says this isn't hard work?
