Welcome to another bout of double-post. This song I'm gonna preview will probably be the only odd one out out of my WHOLE project. But I'm willing to make such an exception as it fits this week's theme of super crazily hyped songs from NicoNicoDouga. What song is it? It's.. :-
Song: Åh, När Ni Tar Saken I Egna Händer by After Dark
Ah, "When You Take Matters Into Your Own Hands by After Dark
For those wondering, yes, it ISN'T a Japanese song. It's Swedish.
Also, yes, 'she' is a he. They are known for their drag acts.
Now, as to WHY I would post this song, or in fact why this song was popular in NND.. well, first up the original video on NND:-
[Hint: Read the comments for the perceived lyrics]
Can't read Jap? or figure it out? Neither can I, but here's something to help you out:-

PFTT!!!!!!!
[Original video name: "A Swedish song many Japanese enjoy"
Original Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJbQ1q9zQx0]
Basically, in Japanese, the lyrics can be heavily misinterpreted (or re-interpreted) into songs about onanism (or wanking). It caused hilarity in Japan and NND as many individuals laughed at what they thought was about 5th School graders giving birth and what not.
THey DID misheard the lyrics, and they are well aware of it, and they had fun at it. Sadly youtube decided to remove the Jp subtitled version of the song. ><
Google too failed to retrieve any form of it, and now the only evidence i have of it is on my folder of saved youtube videos.
Lyrics are here, in case anyone is interested in the ORIGINAL lyrics as it was intended.
Anyways, took me ages to look for something that no longer exists so I'm kinda cheesed off now. Signing off for now, second post to be had later tonight, I guess.
Enjoy possibly the only non-jp song in this whole blog project. Till next time, Ciaoz
Note: Is it just me, or does the song have a slight resemblance to "go West"
