Reception
5 days after the original video was uploaded, another user uploaded a version with his own singing. After that, many users began to upload spin-offs of the original video. Some of the lyrics from the original songs were improvised or mondegreen were used instead. Users sometime compile multiple user versions of the medley to form a 'chorus' video. Most of these "auditory illusions" were already well-known/prevalent on Nico Nico Douga. The videos attracted a lot of singers who would add their own vocals to karaoke versions of the songs, the number of such videos far exceeded that of earlier videos. It's often misunderstood that the title "Kumikyoku" is not a "music selection" in a strict sense, only "Nico Nico Douga medley songs used in it". Some other videos posted include ones where users played instruments or an entire Orchestra performing an instrumental version of the song. The medleys were also translated and sung in English, Hebrew, French, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Malay and Tagalog. Two such well known versions are the ones by C_Chat and the National Central University. 2 August 2007, C_Chat, a user of the TaiwanBBS board PTT Bulletin Board System, used a week of time to compile a group of people singing Kumikyoku in a chorus and also uploaded it to Nico Nico Douga. This is the first video based on Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga outside Japan, and also let Japanese users realise that Nico Nico Douga had a lot of overseas users.
