Week 37 Day 4 - Alstroemeria Records

OK, I shall admit first that the title of the post is misleading, because I won't be previewing the group Alstroemeria Records so much as just this song:-



Song: Bad Apple!! by Alstroemeria Records (Vocal: nomico)
Album: Exsernens, Lovelight, Circuit Breakers, Dolls, Trois Noir [Released in 5 albums]



A great song in it's own right, it gained further immense popularity in 2009 when the video below showed up:-


[Shadow Art version]

Not to say that videos before that weren't that great (see below:-


[A hand-drawn PV (with GREAT pictures), which ultimately lead to...]


[... this. I love the intro here.]


[Also, featuring a nico kara edition]


[Comment/lyrics edition]


[Even spawned and IdolM@ster version. Short vid version linked here.]


[A dance routine. Pretty good]

)
Anyways, these were the popular vids (over 100k views) before the shadow art version was released. Now below are some of the other popular vids that came out after:-


[MikuMikuDance (MMD) of the original video]


[Entry for MMD World cup 5, featuring the MANY characters of NicoNico Douga, from Miku to yukkuri to the yaranaika man]


[The best of most worlds]

There were many things trying to follow the shadow art style, including:-


[Made with photo-stills. This vid is also relevant to the post in my notes]


[Talk about dedication to Apple-art]

There's even a laser show, Microsoft Excel, and minesweeper edition too!

Plus tonnes others, including the mario hammer (or nintendo hammer) and, of course, the lovely Ronald (Donald in JP) McDonald. Heck, there's even an English cover!


[English cover of the song.]

The only other cover version I intend to put up is GUMI's version:-


[And only the PV size to boot (not the full song)]


[Piano + Violin edition.
Note: I've tried looking, but i don't think a good band edition exists, and am too lazy to preview and post the guitar covers. Feel free to view here (and the other one posted above)]


[Marasy piano. How could I almost missed it]

It even made it into a live event last year!

Animelo 2010 - Masayoshi Minoshima - The funniest movie is here. Find it

[Animelo Summer Live 2010 performance. No youtube due to copyright issues]

Alright, that's it. I will draw the line here for the video posting. There really are a lot of videos that are interesting enough to be put here, but I shall end the song post about here. I've even confused where I link the stuffs already, but oh wells, the core ones are in there proper. I hope.

UPDATE!!
I just realized that there are some vids that I should be posting, but forgot to, so here they are:-


[Synthesia Band edition. It rocks!]


[MIKU on orchestral version!]

And finally


[Project Diva Edit on the song!]

END UPDATE!!

And as a bonus to this, here's the original song in which this vocal rearrangement was derived from:-



And a re-released version from ZUN:-



Plus, here's a fan-made remix (to the modern touhou times):-



That's all I have today folks. A long post on one song to showcase various different things on the PV side of things. Oh wells.
Time to move on to other posts then. Till tomorrow, ciaoz

Note: This video was so popular that it even made it into CNN, albeit for the WRONG reasons. Check the vid below.


[Sighs, CNN, your credibility is falling (for me) of late. Cirno News Network indeed :P]
