Unique MAM movies on Nico Nico Douga
On October 31, 2007, a subscriber to Nico Nico Douga posted his kickoff movie, a scrolling score of a piece of music, made using my Music Blitheness Motorcar player. The response was positive, and during the next few days, he posted four more videos which were likewise very popular. What brand these videos special is that they practice something that has not been washed much earlier (with the MAMPlayer, that is): they incorporate music composed (or arranged) to comprise both musical and graphical elements: there are shapes, text, and other patterns that make as much sense visually every bit musically (or, in many cases, more sense). For example in his first posting, based on the catchy tune from the Cheetah Man II video game, the discussion "Cheetah" appears (watch information technology on Nico Nico Douga or on YouTube):
Later on on, at that place are question marks and the word "Boss" (note likewise the tildes imitating the music):
In his second video, based on a Mario Brothers tune, he added some purely decorative elements (lookout it on Nico Nico Douga or on YouTube):
The third video is based on the game Kirby of the Star SDX; information technology has some stars, text, and something I'm guessing is a locomotive because the sound of its notes are the choo-choo of a steam whistle (watch it on Nico Nico Douga or on YouTube):
It also has Kirby's motion picture:
There are more decorative items added too, and even the user comments go more visually adventurous:
His fourth video does non accept as many visual tricks (watch information technology on Nico Nico Douga or on YouTube). A person helping me understand the Japanese on the Nico Nico Douga sites writes:
I recall this needs some caption. The tune of Rockman II is famous for 2 parody songs in NICO NICO DOUGA, "Okkusenman" and "Can't defeat the Air Man". He remixed both songs in this MIDI, he knows users would sing the song while they spotter this flick. "Okkusenman" is loved by its sorry lyric. He arranged this MIDI with some melancholic feeling to fit the sad song. This is the reason why users love this MIDI despite the lack of gadget. At that place're some people indicating the nightscape of the buildings in this moving picture, however I believe information technology's not a intention of the creator.
In his fifth movie, The Creator returns to the use of pictographic elements (including Japanese characters) in his organization of the tune from Last Fantasy Iv (note: the image to the right of the vertical blue line is non role of the animation; it stays at that place through the whole song; scout it on Nico Nico Douga or on YouTube):
"A Brand-New Genre"?
Nico Nico Douga viewers of these videos have called the techniques employed in them a "breakthrough," and have said "Hither comes a make-new genre!" That isn't completely true (more than nigh this after), only there does seem to be a positive reaction, both on the Nico Nico Douga site and elsewhere. When these movies commencement appeared, the number of visitors to the Music Blitheness Car site went from about 1000 a mean solar day to near 3000, and the number of people downloading the MAMPlayer software besides shot up; my per-page statistics are not by solar day, but at the time of this writing (halfway through November), 2091 people take downloaded it this calendar month versus 737 for the whole month of October. And so, we may well be seeing more of this kind of affair � or, who knows, something completely different!

Picture #half dozen: Gradius et al.
This morning I received this notation from my Japanese interpreter correspondent:
I'thou writing to inform you well-nigh his latest video:
The moving picture begins with the Tetris tune, then Dr. Mario -->SpaceInvaders -->gradius--> DonkeyKong -->Pac-man. I can't believe my eyes at the gradius part! He recreated the game completely with MIDI! For your understanding, watch this movie of the real gradius (this person plays the game in a funny way, though: information technology is a shooting game, but the thespian rarely shoots).
The arrow marks and AB (you lot'll discover this in the gradius part) is a famous "Konami code."
For an instance of what he means past "recreated the game completely with MIDI," here is a scene from the original Gradius (on YouTube) ...
... and here is that scene in the MAMPlayer/MIDI version (as before, the image to the right of the vertical blue bar is not office of the blitheness, merely a static paradigm; watch it on Nico Nico Douga or on YouTube):
Here's the stop of the Konami code section he mentions (find the comment echoing the lawmaking):

Links to this folio (and other developments)
Today, I constitute that a link to this page had been added as a comment on the Gradius animation (NND):
Looking through the other movies, I found several other links to this folio, the MAM home page, and the MAM MIDI file player page. I'm guessing that this is the reason for the increase in the number of Japanese visitors (November. ten is when the first video was posted, and November. 19 is probably when the links to musanim.com were added):
I also learned that some of my own movies had been posted to Nico Nico Douga (Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Small-scale and Claude Debussy'south Clair de lune), and that other people had been using the MAM MIDI actor to return their music.
