About
Andrew W.K. Rushing into The Party (Japanese: 祭りと聞いて我慢できずに駆けつけたアンドリューW.K., lit."Andrew W.K, who couldn't help rushing into the party/festival as he heard of it") refers to an image of the American musician Andrew W.K. getting excited in a Japanese music variety TV show Rock Fujiyama. This American rock musician's image has been a well-used reaction image in Futaba Channel (2chan) as well as fodder for parody illustrations since the middle of 2000s.
Origin
On July 3rd, 2006, Andrew W.K. appeared on Rock Fujiyama. Since he made a guest appearance in its 14th episode aired on July 3rd, 2006, the Japanese midnight TV show had sometimes inserted the short video clips into other episodes, where Andrew W.K. is getting excited on the camera crews' side in the studio (shown below, left). Under this situation, the scene with that caption was aired in its final episode on March 26th, 2007 (shown below, center & right).

Spread
The image was soon introduced to 2chan as a reaction image partly because of the term "Matsuri" (祭り). This term, which means festival/carnival/party in the Japanese, is also an internet slang term used to refer to situations where something is trending online, such as some form controversy/backlash/vigilantism. The image proved useful for users joining threads on buzzing topics.
The further increase of its visibility was brought by so-called "The Contemporary Art Fes" (現代アート祭り) in the middle of 2011, which was held on Pixiv by 2chan users as a part of the backlash against Chaos*Lounge.[1] Throughout the fes, Andrew W.K.'s grin and its parody illustrations were spammed at the illustrators' community as a protest against its admins, which had showed unfair favor to the contemporary art group. Because of this, illustrations tagged under the musician's name (アンドリューW.K.) on the Japanese illustrator communities are mainly parodies for this picture which is much more than his I Get Wet album cover.[2][3] In the parody illustrations, the original image's caption turns into a phrasal template that reads, "X, who couldn't help rushing into Y as he/she heard of Z."
