About

SigSig is a popular soundtrack from a Japanese arcade music video game beatmania IIDX, which is produced by KONAMI as a part of BEMANI line.

This mákina styled song has been sometime used in YouTube Poops/YouTube Poop Music Videos (YTPMVs) on YouTube and MAD videos on Nico Nico Douga (NND).

Origin

This song "SigSig" was first included in Beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY released on the Japanes arcade in July 13th 2005. It was composed and arranged by a Japanese DJ/video game composer Kousuke Saito, better known by his alias "kors k"^[1], and its background animation was produced by a Japanese illustrator Maya Takamura, also known by her alias MAYA. They have another well-known collaborating work "smooooch ・∀・", which became to a popular subject for hand-drawn animated videos on NND in 2008.

This song is also included to other music video games in BEMANI series: Pop’n Music, jubeat, REFLEC BEAT and DanceDanceRevolution X3 series.

Spread

This song and its cute animated movie have been occasionally set for a subject for fan works. Some amatuer illustrators have reproduced the movie by their hand-drawn animations, which became to be called "Reproduction MADs" (再現MAD, Saigen MAD) after the rise of NND's MAD phenomenon.

In parody videos, this song began to be continually used in early 2010 by a Hissu Amoto San video "SibaSiba" which was uploaded to NND on March 20th, 2010.^[2]

Because it was a derivative of one of the most vicious memes on the Japanese web, it's particularly favored in A Midsummer Night's Lewd Dream and Cookie☆ which are also devilish memes like Hissu Amoto San. However, the whole amount of MAD videos^[3] and YTPMVs^[4] on both video sharing sites is very few compared to other popular music resources.

Mowtendoo's Emoticon Fad

The song is also used in a popular YouTube Poop fad started by YouTuber Mowtendoo^[5], the creator of a YTMND fad Ualuealuealeuale, consisting taking a source with a facial expression, slow down it's speed and appearing an Emoticons in the middle of the video, that corresponds the facial expression worn by the subject.
