About

Snow Goose is a popular soundtrack from a Japanese arcade music video game jubeat^[1], which is produced by KONAMI as a part of BEMANI line.

This electric pomp styled song was used in many MAD on the Japanese video sharing service Nico Nico Douga (NND) in 2009.

Origin

Snow Goose was written by a Japanese composer Mutsuhiko Izumi for the first rhythm game of jubeat, that was released on the Japanese arcade on July 24, 2008.

This song was ported to beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle^[2] together with "I'm so happy" in 2011. And its remixed version was included in Guitar Freaks XG3 & Drummania XG3^[3] in 2012.

Spread

The earliest instance in this series had been already uploaded to NND in the 5th Music Rhythm Game MAD contest, a small user-organized online MAD video event mostly dedicated to BEMANI songs in November 2008. It was a derivative of Shuzo Matsuoka.

Meanwhile, the trigger video that led subsequent popularity of this series came from Hammer MADs, an another fad on NND. The video "Hammer Goose" was posted by a legendary MAD editor The Hammer Man on April 11th, 2009.^[4]

By the influence by The Hammer Man, many other MAD editors have been introducing this song into their works since the middle of 2009.

As of September 2012, the amount of videos related to this song is near 300.^[5] And most of them are MAD videos in this series.

On YouTube

Since the late of 2009, tens of YouTube Poop Music Videos (YTPMVs) reusing this song have been occasionally posted on YouTube. The first instance importing this song to YTPMVs was posted by a YT user HTFFan8500^[6] on September 20th, 2009, which featured Happy Tree Friends.

But it seems it hasn't been able to become a popular music resource for YTPMV creators yet.^[7]
