(Nicovideo)
Here’s… this thing. I don’t really know exactly what it’s about, but it seems to be a fad on Nicovideo. Here are some other Touhou ones.

…What?
I will never understand you, Japan.
EVER.
Come on, the original was even more random.
Is that supposed to be someone’s theme?
The original what? :o
The original was just a stick figure. It wasn’t popular until much later, when the Tsukasa one (actually it was Tsukasa’s head in a stick body) became so popular it started the fad.
Too much physical activity for that lazy couple. Despite the overall WTFness it has a cute ending xD.
Swollen (Minagiru) series?
…o_O
It would help if it was more than just a two frame animation (3 for the worm). I can see the basics of what they’re doing, though I doubt that I’ll ever understand it even if I heard an explaination.
O.o …..
This series has fever power.
If you go around it for a pretty picture, you will come to like this random music soon.
the song is so cute…n_n
Totally relates to one of my favorite random video…

Finally, a ritual dance to summon Yukari!
wow…
odd but cute.
WHY CAN I NOT READ JAPANESE NICOVIDEO? WHY???
Oh, and the translation is this:
The series which is full of
…
Stupid Babel Fish.
It’s time for tre’s fad history lesson.
There used to be a flute/ukulele player on niconico,しましまP, who often posted instrumental remixes of popular music. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm836593
And then for some unknown reason there was a brief period of time where he couldn’t (wasn’t allowed?) to play the instruments. His urge to play the instrument suddenly bursted and the result was
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1728363 . The music was 100percent adlib without any re-recording. creation time equaled recording time. The animation was suppose to express his “rising tension” (which is what “minagiru” means). Basically…It was a result of the author’s “flute withdrawal symptoms”
Over half a year later..someone made http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm4008793
which really popularized the series as a fad.
Yay :o
Thanks for the great explanation, tre. =D
Also, it’s kind of a coincedence that I noticed an inu-Sakuya version of this on Nico just a few days before you posted this.
Tre: Ah, thanks. It all makes sense now:
The song’s rythm clearly says that he wants to play the flute no matter what. And the stick is acting like: “OH GOD! I WANT TO PLAY THE FLUTE RIGHT NOW! I CAN’T LIVE WITH IT ARRGGHH! *tantrum* *dancing* *crawl* *roll* *tantrum*”
“Flute Withdrawal symptoms” FTW
@Cobalt:
Can you read Spanish or German? They translated the website into those languages just this past summer (which of course irritates both a friend of mine and myself to no end).
I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=730S_u8kmjE, which really confused the hell out of me.
Now I finally found a meme-historian, to explain the meme for me.
Thank you tre.
