Nyaruko-san W Opening Parodies

About

"Nyaruko-san W Opening Parodies" are a series of remixes of the opening theme song of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W, the second season of the Haiyore! Nyaruko-san anime adaptation. Following the popularity of the theme for the previous season, these remixes began cropping up upon the song's debut on Nico Nico Douga during the spring of 2013.

Origin

The second season of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, Nyaruko-san W, was produced by Studio Xebec and began airing in Japan on April 8th, 2013^[1]. The show's opening theme song "Koi wa Chaos no Shimobe Nari" (恋は渾沌の隷也; Love is the Servant of Chaos), first introduced during the season's promotional campaign in February^[2], was written by composer Tanaka Kero and was sung by show's voice actresses Kana Asumi, Miyu Matsuki and Yuka Otsubo.

Spread

Following the initial popularity for the theme song of the first season, the second theme song also inspired it's own Shift-JIS emoticon chant "＼(・ω・＼)SAN-chi！(／・ω・)／Pinchi！" (＼(・ω・＼)SAN値！(／・ω・)／ピンチ！). But unlike the first season, the theme went on to become a musical resource for MAD videos rather than for hand-drawn animations. A small number of parodies began appearing as soon as the song's debut, but remixes began gaining popularity during the week of the show's premiere. The first being an audio-dub of a Bollywood dance sequence on April 2nd (Shown below, left), while the first major MAD-style remixes were of Danganronpa on April 6th^[3], and of Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal antagonist Vector on April 8th. (Shown below, right)

The Yu-Gi-Oh MAD has went to be viewed more than 500 thousand times as of April 2017. Many videos soon followed though-out the anime's airing and even after it's finale in July, with a number of these remixes have since broken the one million views mark on Niconico^[4] and on re-uploads on YouTube.^[5]
