About
DRAGONLADY is uplifting dance tune for BMS[1] which was written by Japanese amatuer composer Yusuke Ota, better known as his alias Nankumo[2] in 2009. This song and its cute animated movie have been set to the subject of many fanfics, and MAD videos in the Japanese video sharing service Nico Nico Douga (NND).
Origin
The song was first released as an entry for the 6th "BMS of Fighters" that was an online BMS competition festival held on the Japanese web from late September to early October in 2009.[3] The background animation (BGA) for this BMS was created by a Japanese creator called Cube3. This BMS got much popularity among viewers/players, and got the 1st rank in an individual category in that competition.
In addition to this, its longer version "DRAGONLADY (SUPER FIRE PROWREST REMIX)" was also released in a free web compilation album series for that festival "BOF2009 COMPILATION ALBUM" from Groundbreaking.[4]
Spread
Several remix for this animated video and MAD videos reusing this song started to be posted to NND around early 2010. Among them, the video that gave further popularity to this song was DORAGONMANZOKU posted in January 2011 (shown, below). It was a derivative of TV commercial movie fad Ippon Manzoku Bar.
As of 2011, the amount of videos related to this song on NND was nearly 200.[5]
