はいそうなんですよ!こんかいの新しい組曲ニコニコ動画は古いの組曲より長い。とても面白いぞ。NEETのほうがいいよね・・・
The NEETs of NicoNicoDouga have come up with a new medley. They call it "Meteor Swarm" (流星群) This one even more NEETeriffic than the first medley I chanced on, which is still one of my favorite things in the world. This new medley is over 14 minutes long including the "credits", and features some of the stuff that was in the first medley, and tons more including stuff that's purely VIP. I mean, you wouldn't even know what some of this stuff is if you weren't up-to-date with the Japanese internet community. And that means not just anime and games. Some people think they know a lot about Japan just because they watched a lot of anime, etc. That doesn't count.
Anyway some of the classic parts here include the BGM they use in るろうに剣心 (I forget the title; it's in the medley but I'm lazy to check), Ievan Polkka, Yatta!, IM@S stuff, lots of 初音ミク songs, etc.
This new medley is at least as epic as the first one, in my opinion. They've successfully captured the whole flow of making the medley of songs sound like it's just one longass song that changes its style here and there. The songs seriously just flow into each other. Their other 20 minute medley didn't quite do that, as the songs had distinguishable pauses between them so you don't really feel like you're singing just one song. And that may be the reason it didn't turn out as well as the first one.
Alright well
here's a link to the vanilla version, which is the first version I heard. As of the time of this writing it's still being actively spammed by the Japanese NEETs. It's fun to watch because they really flood the thing with walls of VIP語 and such.
Alternately, I found the
karaoke version, for those of us who can read Japanese and want to sing along (some of the lyrics are changed from their original songs, or some songs don't really have lyrics and they just put some in). There's lots of other versions, which you can find in the related links in NicoVideo's website.
