Stop! Meme time!
Okkusenman has a pop upbeat… if I’m not mistaken, it uses a music from Megaman 2 game (Rockmen 2 in japanese).
It’s hard to know the original story, since I don’t understand japanese, but I believe this is the one that pictures the nostalgic feeling from grown up gamers best… brings up so many great memories.
Story ends up being a little bit sad, because it is the story of many of us.
If you don’t wanna watch all the videos, I highly recommend watching at least the “Flash animation with original music” version… it’s my favorite one, and has english subtitles.
Flash animation with original music:
Rockman 2 scenes with the original music (I think this is the original video that started it all):
Music became so famous, people made a remixed version with female lyrics.
Some prefer this version, but for me personally nothing replaces the original feelings the composer had while singing… don’t mind if he went out of tone a little bit (in fact, I think it just adds more to it).
Flash animation with remixed female version:
Link for the original flash animation, a karaoke version, and several other interesting animations.
After the success of this video, some others were made following the same idea:
Can’t Beat Airman:
And hilarious “Eroge ga Owaranai” (something like “can’t finish the eroge (erotic games)”):
**EDIT!
The romaji lyrics for Okkusenman:
Omoide wa Okkusenman
Kodomo no koro Yatta koto aru yo
