Weekly Roundup

Apr 14, 2011 03:37

So the Producer Name meme has kind of swallowed a lot of song output this week, but here we are and mostly caught up. If you're following the meme you might be interested to know that Maretu has posted a 'full, complete version' here... but be warned, it may be a little bit not safe for work in places ( Read more... )

OKAY. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN'T LOAD THE VIDEO ON NICO FOR SOME REASON AND INSTEAD LOOK UP THE SONGS ON YOUTUBE, LIKE ME (probably because my comp is shit and/or I am using Chrome)

As I stated above, Youtube does not have the same bells and whistles Nico has, so it cannot replicate the effect that the song has.

This is a direct recording of the nicovid player, and shows off what the big deal about this song is.

oh what, sorry, this got held in the mod queue for some reason. I thought I'd turned that off.

Oh it's cuz you're not a member of the comm specifically, I think. Working (marginally) as intended!

SIGH FINE USING WHITE TEXT AS SPOILER TEXT SO HIGHLIGHT I GUESS, OR IF YOU USE CUSTOM COMMENT PAGES I GUESS YOU'RE SCREWED OH WELL vOv

At 0:23 and 2:52 in the song, there's flash embedded in the nicomovie that triggers if you pause the video at those times. (There is a brief flicker of... something in Japanese at those points that I assume is a prompt to pause the video). When it triggers, the flat image for the song mirrors, goes negative image, and the song starts technically playing in reverse - as I stated above, it appears that the music itself is reversed, but the Miku singing is simply redubbed, as it's still understandable - the syllables are reversed, but not the words themselves (look at the title itself for an example of how that works). The entire effect puts the song in a kind of palindromic state, as apparently the 'reversed' lyrics have a specific meaning too.

It's not as scary as everyone's playing it up as, unless you trigger it accidentally, but it IS creepy as hell even if it's been spoiled for you.

Then again, I don't know Japanese, so maybe it's a case like Drain where it's the lyrics themselves that are the REALLY creepy part.

Re: > itai atashi ashita aitai sir_guessy April 15 2011, 18:00:45 UTC

Spoilers:

Pausing elsewhere in the video apart from those times will also result in a... response...

i'm too scared to do it

nothing major - but the way the nicomov is coded, even if you pause the video at spots other than the hotspots, Notmiku looks straight -at- you.

Which is creepy.
