"A more amusing false lead was the youtube commenter/facebook user who claimed the song was from an 80s adult film". - They hated him because he told them the truth. Even if it was unintentionally so.
I'm just over here absolutely baffled how a 27 year old that somehow for some reason has a copy of an insanely obscure Japanese New Wave compilation album from the early 80s could possibly be so vehemently against lost media searches... talk about a strange and very rare subset of person.
the one consistent thing i learn from any of these 80's/90's lostwave lost media searches specifically is how many people in the 80's/90's had the exact same singing voice.
Now that you mention it, that trend kinda reminds me of the mid-atlantic accent used by actors in old films. Wonder if that style of singing has an actual name to it.
It's not exclusive to back then, either. Most popular male singers seem to have the same nasally high-pitched singing voice. I have a baritone voice, and it makes singing most pop songs nearly impossible.
16:10 - “For some reason multiple websites let us know that his blood type is B” - blood type is actually popularly viewed similarly to zodiac signs in Japan, so it’s like listing a musician as a leo or something
Yep, it's meant to determine your personality and skills, and compatibility with someone else. Certain blood types supposedly aren't compatible with eachother. It's also a big thing in Korea - you'll almost always find blood type listed on a Korean idol/celebrity site. There's a funny webcomic about it called "A Simple Thinking About Blood Type" which even got adapted into a (very obscure) anime if you wanna learn about the stereotypes lol
So that's why there are blood type emojis next to the zodiac sign emojis. It always appeared to me as such a weird choice but I guess these were ported together over from the Japanese character set.
Lost media always has an otherworldly feel. Like from another dimension. It's annoying that so many songs just can't be found. The internet isn't exhaustive
@@andyv2209 there's a song I love that I grew up with, that is not on the internet, at least not in the version I know. It was a cover of an older song. The original song is on youtube (only the live version, has like 5k views), but the band blocked all the cover versions of their song, including the most popular one. Like, this isn't even some unknown song. Both the original band and the cover performer are well known locally. The arrangement of the original song and the vocals are a$$, unfortunately.
My 2 cents: When I first heard the clip, my impression was that it sounded EXACTLY like one of those 'fake songs' that would be used in TV shows (because they couldn't afford the rights to license anything real)...usually a hastily thrown together pretend song. That would explain the short clip, as a show might have dialogue etc that would cut it off. (as if the song were used as a background element in a scene....maybe at a concert or nightclub scene) TYou would hear this kind of stuff routinely in sitcoms or cop shows.
Heads up, usually it's called a sound-alike and I'm not sure if they're still terribly common, but there used to be companies dedicated to making these. I'd imagine it's hard to find records from any though.
I thought it sounded like a song heard in a "driving up to a location in a convertable" or " people dancing on a beach" song from a low budget mid to late 80s movie.
I've seen others say the drumset used in the song is too expensive to own for it to be fake, but this might fix that issue. If it was a short tune commissioned by a large company it could've been done by session musicians who own their own gear.
Guy who uploads obscure music when someone comes to him asking if he knows of a piece of obscure music: (ಠ益ಠ) "I HATE YOU I HATE YOU FUCK OFF NOBODY CARES!!!"
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that A. Not everyone is into this sort of stuff and some people find it cringey. B. Getting pummeled with endless requests to release the song would be extremely annoying and would leave most people in a sour mood. To add to this, anyone that would have listened to a few of the songs from it and actually used their brains rather than simply looking at genres on discogs would easily deduce that the song in question would not be on the compilation simply because it is a vastly different style of music than the other songs on it.
i just want to say that i appreciate you using more upbeat/chill video game songs in your videos instead of the ominous drones more common in a lot of lost media videos! especially since most lost media isnt scary, it's just... stuff! it makes for a more fun watching experience. the omori soundtrack my beloved
Right? Lost media is often portrayed as a sort of discount true crime, but that aesthetic really feels out of place when the lost media at hand is something like a 15 seconds clip of some funky tunes or a short episode of a sitcom or something.
Gotta love when someone is being about as rude as possible to you and then they say, “others won’t be as nice to you as I am.” Mate, most people are nicer than you are.
every single person contacted in other lost media cases ive seen literally just went "hey, sorry i didn't have it ;p hope you find what your looking for!!". the dude was just some loser who thinks did us some holy'er then thou justice for sending us a song
Imagine there’s probably 4 middle aged men, completely clueless to the fact that a demo they recorded in high school back in the 80’s has the internet going crazy. Edit: Well this is awkward....
@@raulortiz3871honestly the voice sounds kinda androgynous, like it could be a man or a woman. Which would check out for the 80s, a lot of male pop and rock stars from that era looked kinda effeminate.
2:33 His original post title was simply "Mid 80s, bad quality" You mentioned before that how the watzatsong site was hacked - well the people who hacked his profile changed the description, and mods changed it back, adding that bit in parenthesis at the end. Carl92 never called the song "Everybody knows that". Just wanted to point that out
@@lanister1104 It did initially at the beginning, and played it referencing the fact it was “lost media” totally threw me off. I figured out later that it was in reference too a different piece all together. Still don’t understand why they included that audio in the beginning and made it out like it was infact the lost peice. That’s where my confusion was. Thanks . The beginning 0:01 implied this was the lost piece.
Someone talking about how very nice and generous they are to someone thay are calling a loser while saying they need to get a life because their harmless hobby is "cringe" is the most internet thing to ever internet
I feel bad for Carl if I’m being honest. Imagine trying to find a song only to be bombarded with extremely person questions and then being called a liar and an asshole because you rightfully didn’t want to give those answers. I’d go dormant too. Update: Damn bro.
@@cricketandgraham8644 I mean let's be real, most of the people involved are kids, especially since it got publicity on tiktok. You can't really expect children to have some common decency for others, especially when they're excited for something to be found that could give them attention.
@@cricketandgraham8644 It's because some people develop a weird sense of entitlement over online stuff; it's like they forget that they're interacting with another human being, instead treating them like they're some kind of information vending machine that took their dollar and is now holding out on them. And it's like, I get it, to some extent; you've got this question burning a hole in your brain, and you want to check under every possible rock for answers, but when it comes to people, some of those rocks are going to be shit like "the name of the street you grew up on", and you can't just expect everyone to be willing to divulge shit like that.
I bet the guy at 17:00 doesn’t know real lost media exists and only knows of it through “lost episode” creepypastas. I’m around his age and those were really big when I was a kid, so maybe to him it sounded like “hey we’re looking for Candle Cove” and he was like “Looking for stuff from creepypastas is for kids and I need these Internet strangers to know that I’m a serious adult.” Still a stupid and unnecessarily hostile response. Also kind of sad. Given that he likes obscure music, he’d probably enjoy looking for mysterious songs
his reply is really funny though you got to admit. See where he’s coming from a little more now (got online just at the end of stuff like candle cove’s popularity)
This is a great lead. Back in the 80s, I used to head to my local arcade and play Polybius for hours. My memory is foggy, but I swear I heard that song play when I finally beat the game.
@@zigzagintrusion It played just as the arcade's wallpaper began to swirl and I didn't feel so good anymore. The same thing can happen to listening to too much Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, as I recall.
My favorite quote of all time from the ekt Reddit is “we have become so desperate oh my god, no one is busting it down sexual style to everyone knows that” i just saw it while scrolling there random threads and I think about it so much I think it helped me achieve nirvana
Regarding that Japanese user with the compilation album, as someone who has covered quite a few Japanese lost media topics myself, I've found that Japan doesn't really have a dedicated lost media community over there. There's a pretty popular wiki for lost commercials specifically, but I have yet to encounter any centralized hub in for lost media/lostwave in Japanese. Some people are terrified of copyright-related repercussions/legal action (Japanese copyright law is mad strict and many unclaimed old film reels and music tracks are outright destroyed because the legality of holding them and not owning the rights is so complex. In my own search for the Akihabara tape song, I've found that the OP and owner of the tape had actually thrown out the original cassette tape with the song on it, and is a bit vague in correspondences. I feel they may just be apprehensive for legal reasons themselves. TLDR: I really wish Japan took media preservation more seriously. I've been simmering the idea of opening a Japanese language wiki for lost media and just adding articles myself to hopefully spread some awareness and interest.
Is that why I can't find the song "toi et moi" anywhere?? It was a japanese singer's song and I thought it had something to do with pokemon but i can't find it anywhere.
Fr, it's a shame so much Japanese music gets taken off TH-cam because of copyright, even older songs. I uploaded a couple of things and while they're still available to watch, I think they're blocked in Japan itself due to copyright
I agree with this, there is tons of old anime lost and untranslated because japan did not release it and most copies have been destroyed or disappeared. Massive shame, theres even things like lost anime merchandise too where people have a picture of an item but you will absolutely never find any history on it.
this reminds me of something: If you've seen the Teen Titans GO! episode 40% 40% 20%, Cyborg is obsessed with a song by a band called B.E.R. "Night Begins to Shine". It's interesting because the song is not a "real" 80s song, or a "real" 80s band. It was recorded in 2005 by Carl Burnett (the B in B.E.R) as an 80s themed song, and put into a music library. They found it while working on the previous episode "Slumber Party" because it was also 80s themed, and thought it sounded like a cool band, and used it, not realizing it was just "music library" fodder, essentially. The internet made it massively popular, in part because of 40% 40% 20% (which has a badass music video). That said, it makes me wonder if it's hard to find this because it was possibly recorded for a music library. I mean, music library stuff has existed since before the internet.
Reminds me of when I used to go thrifting with my parents, I found some sound effect records from 1973, I can't remember exactly which ones, but some of the sounds I recognized from TV and even memes of recent times. One thing for sure was a blizzard like wind sound effect that they got from a much older record, as I distintly remember woody woodpecker using it
Someone's grandma knows this song and has it in their dusty collection that hasn't seen the light of day in almost a century💀 Edit: I need more comments the amount of ignorance is hysterical
As someone who is 27 and does volunteer archival work for a nearby town, comparing lost media, whether it’s film, comics or music, to CREEPYPASTAS…it makes my blood boil. I also very much enjoyed your work and Jorge’s help on this, it was astounding.
I have to imagine this person heard "lost media" and could only interpret it as those "lost episode" creepypastas that were everywhere 10 years ago. Certainly a needlessly hostile/crabby response though.
It doesn't help that nearly all lost media TH-cam content uses creepy drone music 😂 If these people want to be taken seriously by the non-terminally online, they need to sell themselves as "digital humanitarians" or "music history-archivists".
I'm a mod from r/everyoneknowsthat. Came here to copy/paste my reaction to the vid in the community: Happy to see an accurate video where the creator(s) have done their proper research. Good explanation of the origins, the technical details, popular theories, and even deep dives in some false leads. Pretty much every other video I've seen got so much wrong. This video should be the standard for newcomers. My compliments to the creators, they obviously put a lot of work into this.
Hey! I am so glad you think this video is well-researched and are even referring people to check it out. Honestly a lot of work did go into it, and seeing that recognized by you feels amazing. Because you're more versed in this mystery than most of us lol! Thank you :)
@vinnratReddit mods are insufferable. Maybe this one particular mod isn’t, but the majority of them are. Idk if you use Reddit, but if you do then you understand mods are the worst part of that site.
One good thing about this search is that most of the dead end leads end up exposing people to musicians they never heard of, which is a pretty good silver lining in my opinion.
I can suggest a Filipino 80s new wave pop band Rage Band could've made it. Maybe. Why? -Philippines using NTSC Format -Made pop songs between 1983-1988 and 1990 -Songs mostly in English -Sounds similar from their tracks -Made Jingles for brands in the 80s If you want to hear their tracks, its on their Soundcloud page, however full albums are still lost media.
UPDATE! Everyone Knows That has now been found! It was discovered on a porno movie from 1986 called "Angels of Passion" and its played in the background of a sex scene. The official title is "Ulterior Motives" By Christopher Saint Booth. Your Welcome Kylie
To be honest, the response at 17:00 is so disheartening, but more so because no matter what draws folks into a new genre of music - the overall benefits of these searches are bringing more attention to non mainstream art and music and often recovery and archiving of lost or near lost media. I understand annoyance from being bombarded by questions and inquiries - but it seems that was not the cause of the ire - it was plain ole gatekeeping of a new and different generation/audience finding interest in a musician since it was tied to "annoying creepypasta searches" or w/e
He chalked finding lost pieces of media up to creppypasta bullshit. Clearly doesnt understand its not the same thing and is too ignorant to try and open up to something new
@@austinsmith7731Wait til he meets someone who tells him he's ruining the music industry by uploading songs, because digital uploads are never going to be as good (to them) as listening to vinyl records and he's "enabling" this ruination of music culture. He's prolly agree with them lol
It's extra annoying because that guy says he's only 27 and he acts like he's scolding little children. I guess since he associates lost media with creepypastas and general web horror, and is too proud or whatever to familiarise himself with what lost media actually is, he assumes we're all kids. I'm in my mid 30s and I absolutely love lost media/lostwave, but it isn't even that big of a deal how old we all are. I'm not gonna judge kids for loving creepypastas or whatever else they're into, and I'm also certainly not going to gatekeep anyone who wants to get into my favourite topics, no matter their age.
@Orlen-zi6jy To actually answer your question, he probably isn’t. The Takeshita Ohta video he posted is 6 years old, which means he would be posting these videos Atleast 6 years ago, with the TH-cam channel being made in 2014, and LastFM being made in 2012.
The "NTSC frequency line" could have easily been baked in the original recording at the studio. Many studios have screens within the recording room, and it's very common to find ~15kHz frequencies in the recording caused by their presence during the recording session. Many commercially released tracks have this burned in. The notion that the presence of this line is necessarily due to how Carl92 recorded the sample himself is just not so. There are more holes in this whole thing: This frequency comes from the horizontal deflection yoke vibrating due to the powerful oscilating magnetic field it generates to move the elctron beam from left to right on the screen. NTSC does it at 15734Hz and PAL at 15625Hz That's about a 0.7% difference. How can they be so sure it's NTSC for certain and not PAL? Especially given the high probability that this was captured from audio or video tape, radio, or whatever, where this frequency could have shifted up or down by that much or even more. Kudos to the guy that had the knowledge to look for this, but it's just not as good a clue as he thought. In fact, I would say it can't be considered to be a clue at all.
Not being able to find lost media is so frustrating. I have almost a whole album of songs that no one knows where they're from. I've been searching for like a decade, I think.
@@EmmysVerySeriousVideos Some story, trying to keep it short, link at the end. I had this album with no name, no song names, no date, and no band name. I had songs 3 to 8, not knowing how many songs were in the album. It was ripped from a CD using Windows Media Player. I had been asking around, music shops, friends, family, new people I met online about this album for years. Showing people the song files I had, explaining the metadata, etc. No luck for like 10 years. I posted on Reddit about 3 years ago looking for the songs, and then again after seeing this video. In the last post I made on Reddit regarding this , someone had actually finally found it! They used PicardBrainz (Sp?) to find it, which I attempted to use, as well as a friend, back 3 years ago to no avail. But they found it, and let me know, and even posted the link to the Bandcamp, to which I'm very grateful! Credit to FiveElementNinja. The artist is Techromancer. the album is Space Duel, and there were 8 named songs! Finally, I had everything I was searching for, for years. This album got me through good times and bad. I've listened to it a lot through the years. Here's the link to the Bandcamp. Some people would consider this experimental, or hipstery. It has a bit of chiptune-like sounds in it. Enjoy. c: techromancer.bandcamp.com/album/space-duel

Love this story. As an aside, this pink boombox was released in 2006 lol, probably 20 years after this song was recorded. Funny how it found a permanent association with an 80s hook.
Just a fun fact : the reason why Joe Rinoie's blood type can be found so easily on the Internet is because in Japan, blood types work in a similar way astrological signs do in western countries. Also, it was kinda weird to see EKT on French news as it's not really known here, I don't know any french videos on the subject (even though French TH-cam had shown interest in mysterious songs before like Like The Wind), this report is one few places it was even covered. Anyway, very cool video ! Glad to see Jorge here !
A 27 year old claiming to be an old man telling people to "get off their lawn" is just silly. That's coming someone who's 45, and I don't think I'm ready for the "get off their lawn" bit even though my body is definitely showing some real signs of aging, now. This can be controversial, but as far as I can tell, there is no real meaning to life. So, the best thing you can do is provide a meaning, yourself. I've been there looking for a song from my childhood that I had no idea what it was called. If it gives your life a little spark, then it's all worth while.
McIntyre, Joey 😉 rabbit hole... Neponset (an area between N.Quincy, Dorchester, Southie..Boston Mass), it’s not far from Hyde Park, then following trail online leads to Hydeparkny (dot us) which is a place of a lot of riddles for everyone of all ages. Great to give riddles to teachers and have them ponder the questions answer. It’s a neuro plasticity exercise. Well, he did live in NY for a time before going to the west coast. Voice on track matches his younger voice, and everyone had a distinctive accent south of Boston. Hope you get an A in class, but at least a B+ for researching... good luck.
A little explanation that is more than a few words; Everyone Knows that (Ulterior Motives) was indeed found. The recording that Carl played was featured in an Adult Film that I won't name, but you can find it after a little searching. The song itself was recorded by Christopher Booth who also goes by Christopher Saint. From what I know so far, he plans on trying to find the original recording without the... noises from said film. If he can't find that, he plans on re-recording it.
Everyone is saying it's from a commercial but what if it's originally from a movie and was made for a short scene? This happens sometimes. Ex. there was an episode from the Haunting Hour that I watched a reviewer's video on it and the intro for the episode included an original, short song played on a radio that the character was listening to. I forget the episode but it was one with Debby Ryan in it and it was clearly her singing a generic, one-off song. I mean there's also original full-made songs made for movies too. Scott Pilgrim is probably the most notable example but "Scotty Doesn't Know" is a song by Lustra made for the movie Euro Trip. I hope this makes sense because I feel like I'm having a hard time describing it. Like, instead of using an existing song the audio engineers made a new song exclusively for the movie. Oh, and sometimes when they do these the vocals are actually stock vocals from a library, but I guess we would've found them by now if that's the case? I was watching a video on Mad Magazine and its history and one of the one-off songs they used in the Mad 90s TV show had the same vocals from Scanty and Kneesocks theme because the "I want you to make believe it's the first time" lyrics were from a stock vocal thing and the two songs were just remixed completely different. I hope if this doesn't make sense, someone else can explain it better than me. 😅
Good point, I ran across a similar situation myself years ago. There's a particular variant of a song I haven't been able to find from a movie, it's not on the soundtrack nor was it released by the artist, and is listed as the same song on the credits and the soundtrack, even though they're distinctly different variants. Only a part of the song made it on the movie and was cut short.
True there's a Goosebumps episode called Dont fall asleep in the attic where a kid is being chased by "dream cops" in his dreams. & there is a scene where he's getting married to an older woman & song starts playing supposedly its a "cover" of another song but could never find it
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapperthis may sound really dumb, and i dont know if ur still looking for it, but i was in a really similar situation and shazam found it for me, just an idea idk if it’ll work or maybe you’ve tried idk😭
I just asked my mother who was in her 20s in the 80s if she’d heard this song before. She said that it has the same sort of generic rhythm and chord progression of that era (which could definitely point to why it sounds so familiar to everyone) and she said it could be a song from a Motown (the record company) girl group. She also said the grainy, low quality could be because it was recorded in a disco, concert or club or something. I don’t know if this could be a lead, but it may prove fruitful to dig really deep into the super underground girl groups of Motown’s from that era and see where it gets us. edit: OKAY GUYS YES I KNOW THAT ITS BEEN FOUND AND WHAT ITS ORIGIN IS 😭 but i never said my mum had HEARD it before, just that its rhythm is of that era which she recognised as she was in her 20s and yk how 80s music is LMFAO. so yeah just to clear that up 🫡
It may be from an acetate or cassette. It may be a girl band or female singer in a garage type of band who just did songs on their own and maybe a few bar gigs, broke up and the women got married and had kids. Women often do a band for a bit and then become mom's. Especially if the band is just a fun type of hobby and nothing serious. My advice I was giving too is to show the clip to people in their 50s and up who were kids to 25 back then obsessed with 80s punk/dance songs. Someone may know of the female herself. Maybe it's a starter band and song before they broke up to be a big band we know. 🙂
That Darren segment had me absolutely stunned, the comparison legit sounded like it could have been from the same exact song it sounded so close. I was dead set on it being a female singer until I heard that, combine that with the tweet and that’s probably the closest lead y’all have found! I really hope it gets found so I can add it to my playlist!
Back in the 80's club DJ's or radio DJ's would be given "single" records from music labels, to play at clubs and create some buzz. You could of course just pick one up a record store yourself too. The singles would usually have a radio edit, extended version, and a dance remix. I have found more than a few of these singles from thrift stores. Some of them were absolute bops, even though it was from a obscure musician no one has ever heard of and only had a few thousand or hundreds of views on TH-cam. The song in question had to of been recorded from a vinyl to tape then recorded back to a PC for whatever reason. There's an absolute mountain of these singles, finding this song would be like finding a needle in a hay stack. The vinyl is probably sitting in someones collection in Europe and they just don't know it.
Or even worse, it was just some short experiment that never became a full song, and we've just run across a trail of people sharing a cool mixtape of what's little more than samples.
I remember long time ago getting a single for under a buck, and unfortunately misplaced tape long ago and searching ever since but lyrics were about gatta get a Roughneck, and it was a female rapper singing, think it was titled Roughneck but that was in the late 80’s. It was really catchy and been trying to figure so I could use it in a short indie film, hopefully before my glioma takes over ... life... just gatta 😆
Oddly enough the 17 seconds part were the part were there were not much of "that" and the only clean part of the whole song 😂. Carl92 was probably was making reason to find the full song without revealing where his source came from 😂
It's weird to think that this could be the favourite song of someone in this world, yet they have no idea that people are looking for it on the internet as the news hasn't reached them yet. That person could know everything about the band and singer.
They got a lead on the artists and looked through all the videos they featured in. Keep in mind corn videos back then were hours long sometimes, like feature length films.
I think the biggest reason people are clowning on him for that is because he was so cagey about it when he very clearly knew where it was from. If he'd have said it upfront people would have had a good laugh but I don't think it would have reached the level of memes we have now.
Probably just an old band who made a demo song that didn't get used or get any commercial success and the creators of the song probably just forgot about it this was most definitely a song before the internet blew up and is a relic of another time is how I look at it
@@greatbritishedits6602Ah, now, I have that, it's a 12 inch. But the one I was after had a load of samples from TV and FIlm and a load of other songs from the era. I found it here watch?v=fqkkhj5zcjc :)
5:22 - "There is a chance it isn't anywhere online". There's also a chance it IS online, maybe even uploaded directly to TH-cam, but just hasn't been "found" by anyone from the lost media community yet. This has happened to at least one "lost" song before, can't remember the title of it, but it was eventually "found" and had been on TH-cam already for at least 2-3 years before the search even began, complete with comments all throughout the supposedly "lost" era. Sometimes it's just a matter of being in front of the right people at the right time.
@@keatonsinfiniteplaylist Katonda Alinawe, known as "Kenya Dance" beforr being found, it was used in a filthy frank video back in 2013 and it was considered lost, turns out it was on youtube since 2011
A lesser known example was this upload of this song, which was uploaded in 2013 and originally had a name like "Cassette Upload *bunch of number" or something: th-cam.com/video/IVEwHjdEORs/w-d-xo.html But a few years ago, someone identified it as some obscure French song called "Movi Mundi" by an indie band named Gestalt. And as it turns out, the full song with full credits was already uploaded to TH-cam back in 2009.
well. it definitely wouldn’t be allowed on TH-cam but it was online the whole time! just you had to watch 1 hour of 80s pornography before you suddenly got everyone knows that blarin as two people have fun
Wow, dude at 17:00 sounds like a real peach. Couldn't have been as simple as just being helpful, he had to make sure everyone knew he wasn't doing it for some Internet Easter egg hunt so we understand how special he really is. Lmao.
I guess trying to recover lost media is somehow “creepypasta garbage.” Also I love how he went through the effort of clearing his Internet cookies to avoid simply seeing more “creepypasta” content in his feed. Like woah we got a cool edgy guy over here
Calling it "creepypasta garbage" made me just a little bit angry. Lost media/media preservation/identifying works is a pretty important thing.. and also not at all related to creepypasta content? Well I guess, there are lost creepypastas but that's it.
@@meowmeowmeowmeowcatoncomputerI think what he meant by that was that a lot of innocent lost media stuff gets treated like it’s a murder mystery and lots of channels tend to overdo the “spooky factor” to the point it looks like a creepypasta. Like a vid about some regular lost episode of a kid’s show shouldn’t be presented like someone died lol. His response was still outta pocket even if people were being annoying, but I think there’s a sliver of a point in there.
@@jbits_lilcaesar4kThe best part is it doesn't even work like that. If anything he just logged himself out. TH-cam stores your history on their side, you have to manually remove the video from your history and still hope the algorithm doesn't just ignore that.
Great video. I was actually the person who got in touch with Rolling Stone as I thought it would make a great article. They emailed me back thanking me for giving them the heads up for bringing it to their attention as they looked into it and thought it sounded fascinating.
Blood type thing - Japan has a huge obsession with blood types and the idea that it correlates to personality! It's really common for blood type to be included in character descriptions for anime or video games.
Oh man I had no idea, I was playing this skateboarding game at an arcade that included the characters blood type in the description! I was very confused to say the least..
I wouldn't call it "huge obsession", though. It has about the same level of cultural interest as horoscopes-fun to know and talk about, but few people actually take it seriously.
On the off-chance anyone is interested, the stock/background footage from about 5:50 to 6:10 is from River Falls Mall (circa 1993), which was in Clarksville, IN until it closed. The full video in higher quality is available on TH-cam, and as of this posting can be easily found using the name of the mall and the year mentioned.

I think he was just testing the recorder while watching, forgot where it was from, and then asking people where it was from
@StarfywalkingTYPH this is most likely. I find it hard to believe that he was too embarrassed to admit it. Like. Why?
the one consistent thing i learn from any of these 80's/90's lostwave lost media searches specifically is how many people in the 80's/90's had the exact same singing voice.
It's funny 'cause it's true!
Like how everyone in the 50's sounded identical!
Now that you mention it, that trend kinda reminds me of the mid-atlantic accent used by actors in old films. Wonder if that style of singing has an actual name to it.
Well yeah, everyone knows that.
It's not exclusive to back then, either. Most popular male singers seem to have the same nasally high-pitched singing voice. I have a baritone voice, and it makes singing most pop songs nearly impossible.
16:10 - “For some reason multiple websites let us know that his blood type is B” - blood type is actually popularly viewed similarly to zodiac signs in Japan, so it’s like listing a musician as a leo or something
Yep, it's called the "Blood Type Personality Theory". Was gonna comment this before I saw yours!
ohh okay i didn't realize that! makes a lot more sense now haha
Yep, it's meant to determine your personality and skills, and compatibility with someone else. Certain blood types supposedly aren't compatible with eachother.
It's also a big thing in Korea - you'll almost always find blood type listed on a Korean idol/celebrity site. There's a funny webcomic about it called "A Simple Thinking About Blood Type" which even got adapted into a (very obscure) anime if you wanna learn about the stereotypes lol
So that's why there are blood type emojis next to the zodiac sign emojis. It always appeared to me as such a weird choice but I guess these were ported together over from the Japanese character set.
🅱️ is his blood type, bro who needs that info
i think the entire internet owes an apology to the people who originally theorized it to be from a porno
Lost media always has an otherworldly feel. Like from another dimension. It's annoying that so many songs just can't be found. The internet isn't exhaustive

Soooo much music isn't on the internet it's staggering.
Maybe it actually is from another dimension 😭

@@andyv2209 there's a song I love that I grew up with, that is not on the internet, at least not in the version I know. It was a cover of an older song. The original song is on youtube (only the live version, has like 5k views), but the band blocked all the cover versions of their song, including the most popular one. Like, this isn't even some unknown song. Both the original band and the cover performer are well known locally. The arrangement of the original song and the vocals are a$$, unfortunately.
My 2 cents: When I first heard the clip, my impression was that it sounded EXACTLY like one of those 'fake songs' that would be used in TV shows (because they couldn't afford the rights to license anything real)...usually a hastily thrown together pretend song. That would explain the short clip, as a show might have dialogue etc that would cut it off. (as if the song were used as a background element in a scene....maybe at a concert or nightclub scene) TYou would hear this kind of stuff routinely in sitcoms or cop shows.
Ooh, interesting theory!
Heads up, usually it's called a sound-alike and I'm not sure if they're still terribly common, but there used to be companies dedicated to making these. I'd imagine it's hard to find records from any though.
I thought it sounded like a song heard in a "driving up to a location in a convertable" or " people dancing on a beach" song from a low budget mid to late 80s movie.
I thought the same thing, like Saved By The Bell, or City Guys
I've seen others say the drumset used in the song is too expensive to own for it to be fake, but this might fix that issue. If it was a short tune commissioned by a large company it could've been done by session musicians who own their own gear.
Guy who uploads obscure music when someone comes to him asking if he knows of a piece of obscure music: (ಠ益ಠ) "I HATE YOU I HATE YOU FUCK OFF NOBODY CARES!!!"
Its because hes a MaTuRe AdUlT
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that
A. Not everyone is into this sort of stuff and some people find it cringey.
B. Getting pummeled with endless requests to release the song would be extremely annoying and would leave most people in a sour mood.
To add to this, anyone that would have listened to a few of the songs from it and actually used their brains rather than simply looking at genres on discogs would easily deduce that the song in question would not be on the compilation simply because it is a vastly different style of music than the other songs on it.

Yeah and the Macintosh Plus and Vaporwave intro made me smile.
I’m pretty sure they’re using the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack.
Right? Lost media is often portrayed as a sort of discount true crime, but that aesthetic really feels out of place when the lost media at hand is something like a 15 seconds clip of some funky tunes or a short episode of a sitcom or something.

Also kind of sad. Given that he likes obscure music, he’d probably enjoy looking for mysterious songs

Regarding that Japanese user with the compilation album, as someone who has covered quite a few Japanese lost media topics myself, I've found that Japan doesn't really have a dedicated lost media community over there. There's a pretty popular wiki for lost commercials specifically, but I have yet to encounter any centralized hub in for lost media/lostwave in Japanese. Some people are terrified of copyright-related repercussions/legal action (Japanese copyright law is mad strict and many unclaimed old film reels and music tracks are outright destroyed because the legality of holding them and not owning the rights is so complex.
In my own search for the Akihabara tape song, I've found that the OP and owner of the tape had actually thrown out the original cassette tape with the song on it, and is a bit vague in correspondences. I feel they may just be apprehensive for legal reasons themselves.
TLDR: I really wish Japan took media preservation more seriously. I've been simmering the idea of opening a Japanese language wiki for lost media and just adding articles myself to hopefully spread some awareness and interest.
Media preservation is slowly taking a surgence over there
Is that why I can't find the song "toi et moi" anywhere?? It was a japanese singer's song and I thought it had something to do with pokemon but i can't find it anywhere.
Knowing all that we were so lucky Plastic Love survived. 😂
Fr, it's a shame so much Japanese music gets taken off TH-cam because of copyright, even older songs. I uploaded a couple of things and while they're still available to watch, I think they're blocked in Japan itself due to copyright
I agree with this, there is tons of old anime lost and untranslated because japan did not release it and most copies have been destroyed or disappeared. Massive shame, theres even things like lost anime merchandise too where people have a picture of an item but you will absolutely never find any history on it.

this reminds me of something: If you've seen the Teen Titans GO! episode 40% 40% 20%, Cyborg is obsessed with a song by a band called B.E.R. "Night Begins to Shine". It's interesting because the song is not a "real" 80s song, or a "real" 80s band. It was recorded in 2005 by Carl Burnett (the B in B.E.R) as an 80s themed song, and put into a music library. They found it while working on the previous episode "Slumber Party" because it was also 80s themed, and thought it sounded like a cool band, and used it, not realizing it was just "music library" fodder, essentially. The internet made it massively popular, in part because of 40% 40% 20% (which has a badass music video).
That said, it makes me wonder if it's hard to find this because it was possibly recorded for a music library. I mean, music library stuff has existed since before the internet.
Good point

To be honest, the response at 17:00 is so disheartening, but more so because no matter what draws folks into a new genre of music - the overall benefits of these searches are bringing more attention to non mainstream art and music and often recovery and archiving of lost or near lost media. I understand annoyance from being bombarded by questions and inquiries - but it seems that was not the cause of the ire - it was plain ole gatekeeping of a new and different generation/audience finding interest in a musician since it was tied to "annoying creepypasta searches" or w/e
He chalked finding lost pieces of media up to creppypasta bullshit. Clearly doesnt understand its not the same thing and is too ignorant to try and open up to something new
@@austinsmith7731Wait til he meets someone who tells him he's ruining the music industry by uploading songs, because digital uploads are never going to be as good (to them) as listening to vinyl records and he's "enabling" this ruination of music culture.
He's prolly agree with them lol
It's extra annoying because that guy says he's only 27 and he acts like he's scolding little children. I guess since he associates lost media with creepypastas and general web horror, and is too proud or whatever to familiarise himself with what lost media actually is, he assumes we're all kids. I'm in my mid 30s and I absolutely love lost media/lostwave, but it isn't even that big of a deal how old we all are. I'm not gonna judge kids for loving creepypastas or whatever else they're into, and I'm also certainly not going to gatekeep anyone who wants to get into my favourite topics, no matter their age.
It's not disheartening, it's pathetic lmao. You can read the internalized loneliness in this mf 😂

@Orlen-zi6jyhe is also apparently not 27 at all
@Orlen-zi6jy he is 14 lmaoo
@Orlen-zi6jy idk either why he claimed to be 27
@Orlen-zi6jy To actually answer your question, he probably isn’t. The Takeshita Ohta video he posted is 6 years old, which means he would be posting these videos Atleast 6 years ago, with the TH-cam channel being made in 2014, and LastFM being made in 2012.
The "NTSC frequency line" could have easily been baked in the original recording at the studio.
Many studios have screens within the recording room, and it's very common to find ~15kHz frequencies in the recording caused by their presence during the recording session. Many commercially released tracks have this burned in.
The notion that the presence of this line is necessarily due to how Carl92 recorded the sample himself is just not so.
There are more holes in this whole thing:
This frequency comes from the horizontal deflection yoke vibrating due to the powerful oscilating magnetic field it generates to move the elctron beam from left to right on the screen. NTSC does it at 15734Hz and PAL at 15625Hz
That's about a 0.7% difference. How can they be so sure it's NTSC for certain and not PAL? Especially given the high probability that this was captured from audio or video tape, radio, or whatever, where this frequency could have shifted up or down by that much or even more.
Kudos to the guy that had the knowledge to look for this, but it's just not as good a clue as he thought. In fact, I would say it can't be considered to be a clue at all.

@SynkkoBR I had a few times over the years. This vid actually prompted me to post again, and I found it!
@@Srcsqwrnwhat was it ??
@@EmmysVerySeriousVideos Some story, trying to keep it short, link at the end.
I had this album with no name, no song names, no date, and no band name. I had songs 3 to 8, not knowing how many songs were in the album. It was ripped from a CD using Windows Media Player.
I had been asking around, music shops, friends, family, new people I met online about this album for years. Showing people the song files I had, explaining the metadata, etc. No luck for like 10 years.
I posted on Reddit about 3 years ago looking for the songs, and then again after seeing this video.
In the last post I made on Reddit regarding this , someone had actually finally found it!
They used PicardBrainz (Sp?) to find it, which I attempted to use, as well as a friend, back 3 years ago to no avail.
But they found it, and let me know, and even posted the link to the Bandcamp, to which I'm very grateful! Credit to FiveElementNinja.
The artist is Techromancer. the album is Space Duel, and there were 8 named songs!
Finally, I had everything I was searching for, for years. This album got me through good times and bad. I've listened to it a lot through the years.
Here's the link to the Bandcamp.
Some people would consider this experimental, or hipstery. It has a bit of chiptune-like sounds in it.
Enjoy. c:

The person who said that it was from an adult film must be feeling so vindicated now.
No wonder carl disappeared...
I guess we better start watching more old 1980s pornos to hopefully find more lostwave songs.
Probably
Love this story. As an aside, this pink boombox was released in 2006 lol, probably 20 years after this song was recorded. Funny how it found a permanent association with an 80s hook.
Right? I find the boombox at 12:54 much more interesting, since it isn't just a different color of a variant that seemed omnipresent for a while.
it actually was 20 years after the song was made 😭🙏
Just a fun fact : the reason why Joe Rinoie's blood type can be found so easily on the Internet is because in Japan, blood types work in a similar way astrological signs do in western countries. Also, it was kinda weird to see EKT on French news as it's not really known here, I don't know any french videos on the subject (even though French TH-cam had shown interest in mysterious songs before like Like The Wind), this report is one few places it was even covered. Anyway, very cool video ! Glad to see Jorge here !
Also timestamp to that part of the video is 16:06
I find it so ironic that a song most often known as "everyone knows that" is basically nonexistent on the internet
Most people said that lol.
It's not ironic, it's intentional. It's an obvious hoax.
@@montyvr6772do you think it’s AI generated?
eeeeeverybody says that
yep@@kimmacrane
I love how it turned to be a soundtrack in some 80s porno. That is one of the best ways it could have gone imo.
A 27 year old claiming to be an old man telling people to "get off their lawn" is just silly. That's coming someone who's 45, and I don't think I'm ready for the "get off their lawn" bit even though my body is definitely showing some real signs of aging, now. This can be controversial, but as far as I can tell, there is no real meaning to life. So, the best thing you can do is provide a meaning, yourself. I've been there looking for a song from my childhood that I had no idea what it was called. If it gives your life a little spark, then it's all worth while.
He really wanted to tell them to stop having fun
I think I get it now…
I'm here because my professor was talking about it and made a joke that if anyone finds the song gets an A for the semester :b
Thats the nicest way of saying no one gets an a

McIntyre, Joey 😉 rabbit hole... Neponset (an area between N.Quincy, Dorchester, Southie..Boston Mass), it’s not far from Hyde Park, then following trail online leads to Hydeparkny (dot us) which is a place of a lot of riddles for everyone of all ages. Great to give riddles to teachers and have them ponder the questions answer. It’s a neuro plasticity exercise. Well, he did live in NY for a time before going to the west coast. Voice on track matches his younger voice, and everyone had a distinctive accent south of Boston.
Hope you get an A in class, but at least a B+ for researching... good luck.

A little explanation that is more than a few words;
Everyone Knows that (Ulterior Motives) was indeed found. The recording that Carl played was featured in an Adult Film that I won't name, but you can find it after a little searching.
The song itself was recorded by Christopher Booth who also goes by Christopher Saint. From what I know so far, he plans on trying to find the original recording without the... noises from said film. If he can't find that, he plans on re-recording it.
the fact this song wouldn't be found for years because carl didn't want to admit he was beating his meat LMAOOO
Carl👋🥩💦😩
Everyone is saying it's from a commercial but what if it's originally from a movie and was made for a short scene? This happens sometimes. Ex. there was an episode from the Haunting Hour that I watched a reviewer's video on it and the intro for the episode included an original, short song played on a radio that the character was listening to. I forget the episode but it was one with Debby Ryan in it and it was clearly her singing a generic, one-off song.
I mean there's also original full-made songs made for movies too. Scott Pilgrim is probably the most notable example but "Scotty Doesn't Know" is a song by Lustra made for the movie Euro Trip.
I hope this makes sense because I feel like I'm having a hard time describing it. Like, instead of using an existing song the audio engineers made a new song exclusively for the movie.
Oh, and sometimes when they do these the vocals are actually stock vocals from a library, but I guess we would've found them by now if that's the case? I was watching a video on Mad Magazine and its history and one of the one-off songs they used in the Mad 90s TV show had the same vocals from Scanty and Kneesocks theme because the "I want you to make believe it's the first time" lyrics were from a stock vocal thing and the two songs were just remixed completely different.
I hope if this doesn't make sense, someone else can explain it better than me.
😅
If anyone needs help with the spanish TV Schedule I think I can help
Good point, I ran across a similar situation myself years ago. There's a particular variant of a song I haven't been able to find from a movie, it's not on the soundtrack nor was it released by the artist, and is listed as the same song on the credits and the soundtrack, even though they're distinctly different variants. Only a part of the song made it on the movie and was cut short.
True there's a Goosebumps episode called Dont fall asleep in the attic where a kid is being chased by "dream cops" in his dreams. & there is a scene where he's getting married to an older woman & song starts playing supposedly its a "cover" of another song but could never find it
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapperthis may sound really dumb, and i dont know if ur still looking for it, but i was in a really similar situation and shazam found it for me, just an idea idk if it’ll work or maybe you’ve tried idk😭
it is in a movie scene! what type of movie.....
i love the lyrics "everyone knows that she's got ulterior motives, tell me the truth" it reallyyyy sounds like a wham song and i love it
right??? i always thought it sounded a little like george michael
Heh
Watching this in hindsight is too funny, she even mentions the correct source at 13:45 😭
13:49 *THAT LEAD SORT OF BECAME TRUE*
NOT SORT OF IT WAS
I just asked my mother who was in her 20s in the 80s if she’d heard this song before. She said that it has the same sort of generic rhythm and chord progression of that era (which could definitely point to why it sounds so familiar to everyone) and she said it could be a song from a Motown (the record company) girl group. She also said the grainy, low quality could be because it was recorded in a disco, concert or club or something. I don’t know if this could be a lead, but it may prove fruitful to dig really deep into the super underground girl groups of Motown’s from that era and see where it gets us.
edit: OKAY GUYS YES I KNOW THAT ITS BEEN FOUND AND WHAT ITS ORIGIN IS 😭 but i never said my mum had HEARD it before, just that its rhythm is of that era which she recognised as she was in her 20s and yk how 80s music is LMFAO. so yeah just to clear that up 🫡
You should probably post this in a forum and not in the comment sections where it could be lost to time. Very helpful leads
It may be from an acetate or cassette. It may be a girl band or female singer in a garage type of band who just did songs on their own and maybe a few bar gigs, broke up and the women got married and had kids. Women often do a band for a bit and then become mom's. Especially if the band is just a fun type of hobby and nothing serious. My advice I was giving too is to show the clip to people in their 50s and up who were kids to 25 back then obsessed with 80s punk/dance songs. Someone may know of the female herself. Maybe it's a starter band and song before they broke up to be a big band we know. 🙂
Well, well, well... Your mother has a taste, I'll give her that lmao
@soyjoyy Indeed😈
That Darren segment had me absolutely stunned, the comparison legit sounded like it could have been from the same exact song it sounded so close. I was dead set on it being a female singer until I heard that, combine that with the tweet and that’s probably the closest lead y’all have found! I really hope it gets found so I can add it to my playlist!
Exactly. Why the poster of this video and everyone else just let it go is beyond me.
Back in the 80's club DJ's or radio DJ's would be given "single" records from music labels, to play at clubs and create some buzz. You could of course just pick one up a record store yourself too. The singles would usually have a radio edit, extended version, and a dance remix. I have found more than a few of these singles from thrift stores. Some of them were absolute bops, even though it was from a obscure musician no one has ever heard of and only had a few thousand or hundreds of views on TH-cam. The song in question had to of been recorded from a vinyl to tape then recorded back to a PC for whatever reason. There's an absolute mountain of these singles, finding this song would be like finding a needle in a hay stack. The vinyl is probably sitting in someones collection in Europe and they just don't know it.
Or even worse, it was just some short experiment that never became a full song, and we've just run across a trail of people sharing a cool mixtape of what's little more than samples.
do you own any
I remember long time ago getting a single for under a buck, and unfortunately misplaced tape long ago and searching ever since but lyrics were about gatta get a Roughneck, and it was a female rapper singing, think it was titled Roughneck but that was in the late 80’s. It was really catchy and been trying to figure so I could use it in a short indie film, hopefully before my glioma takes over ... life... just gatta 😆
Oddly enough the 17 seconds part were the part were there were not much of "that" and the only clean part of the whole song 😂. Carl92 was probably was making reason to find the full song without revealing where his source came from 😂
It's weird to think that this could be the favourite song of someone in this world, yet they have no idea that people are looking for it on the internet as the news hasn't reached them yet. That person could know everything about the band and singer.
I would be concerned if this was anyone’s favorite song…💀
It’s bouta be my favorite song 🥴
Or it could be their favorite porno
How nice of Kylie Boggly for allowing a smaller channel like Blameitonjorge to collab. I hope he gains more subs and attention
Um Blameitonjorge has 900k subs😭

97k is hardly a 'big channel'
@@TheRealHoltzybut then again it’s a lot. Yea compared to other TH-camrs it ain’t much but it’s lowkey a huge goal mark for TH-camrs

13:48 well, this didn't age well
Actually, everybody's talking abt Carl being a gooner but HOW THEY REFIND IT????
Porn theory
They got a lead on the artists and looked through all the videos they featured in. Keep in mind corn videos back then were hours long sometimes, like feature length films.
I think the biggest reason people are clowning on him for that is because he was so cagey about it when he very clearly knew where it was from. If he'd have said it upfront people would have had a good laugh but I don't think it would have reached the level of memes we have now.
jorge collab is crazy omg congrats kylie
13:53 “well that didn’t age quite so well “
dude wonders why people seek out rare media after collecting a piece of rare media, the irony.
collab with blameitonjorge?? been around back when you had around 25k subs, damn this channel's gone far, happy for you!!!
thank you! :)
@@sombertoboggly20:20 what's the song playing in theback ground?
13:52 foreshadowing
Probably just an old band who made a demo song that didn't get used or get any commercial success and the creators of the song probably just forgot about it this was most definitely a song before the internet blew up and is a relic of another time is how I look at it
Can relate, took me ages (like 10s of years) to find an old 80s megamix of Tainted Love. Finally someone uploaded it on here and I happened across it.
Is that the one where tainted love transitions into where did our love go? Had trouble finding that for ages ahaha
@@greatbritishedits6602Ah, now, I have that, it's a 12 inch. But the one I was after had a load of samples from TV and FIlm and a load of other songs from the era. I found it here watch?v=fqkkhj5zcjc :)
Kinda ironic how this song is called “everyone knows that”
When nobody knows it
placeholder name but yeah
'if blameitonjorje is involved, it's going to get solved' the prophecy has been proven true. Yet again.
i'm older than that 27 year old guy and i like lostwave creepypasta bullshit >:(
5:22 - "There is a chance it isn't anywhere online". There's also a chance it IS online, maybe even uploaded directly to TH-cam, but just hasn't been "found" by anyone from the lost media community yet. This has happened to at least one "lost" song before, can't remember the title of it, but it was eventually "found" and had been on TH-cam already for at least 2-3 years before the search even began, complete with comments all throughout the supposedly "lost" era. Sometimes it's just a matter of being in front of the right people at the right time.
what was the song
I think it refers to Kenya dance @@keatonsinfiniteplaylist
@@keatonsinfiniteplaylist Katonda Alinawe, known as "Kenya Dance" beforr being found, it was used in a filthy frank video back in 2013 and it was considered lost, turns out it was on youtube since 2011
A lesser known example was this upload of this song, which was uploaded in 2013 and originally had a name like "Cassette Upload *bunch of number" or something:
th-cam.com/video/IVEwHjdEORs/w-d-xo.html
But a few years ago, someone identified it as some obscure French song called "Movi Mundi" by an indie band named Gestalt. And as it turns out, the full song with full credits was already uploaded to TH-cam back in 2009.
well. it definitely wouldn’t be allowed on TH-cam but it was online the whole time! just you had to watch 1 hour of 80s pornography before you suddenly got everyone knows that blarin as two people have fun
Wow, dude at 17:00 sounds like a real peach. Couldn't have been as simple as just being helpful, he had to make sure everyone knew he wasn't doing it for some Internet Easter egg hunt so we understand how special he really is. Lmao.
I guess trying to recover lost media is somehow “creepypasta garbage.” Also I love how he went through the effort of clearing his Internet cookies to avoid simply seeing more “creepypasta” content in his feed. Like woah we got a cool edgy guy over here
Calling it "creepypasta garbage" made me just a little bit angry. Lost media/media preservation/identifying works is a pretty important thing.. and also not at all related to creepypasta content? Well I guess, there are lost creepypastas but that's it.
@@meowmeowmeowmeowcatoncomputerI mean there are lost creepypastas like those scp stories that they didnt use and only one was archives
@@meowmeowmeowmeowcatoncomputerI think what he meant by that was that a lot of innocent lost media stuff gets treated like it’s a murder mystery and lots of channels tend to overdo the “spooky factor” to the point it looks like a creepypasta. Like a vid about some regular lost episode of a kid’s show shouldn’t be presented like someone died lol. His response was still outta pocket even if people were being annoying, but I think there’s a sliver of a point in there.
@@jbits_lilcaesar4kThe best part is it doesn't even work like that. If anything he just logged himself out.
TH-cam stores your history on their side, you have to manually remove the video from your history and still hope the algorithm doesn't just ignore that.
14:03 if only they knew....
Great video. I was actually the person who got in touch with Rolling Stone as I thought it would make a great article. They emailed me back thanking me for giving them the heads up for bringing it to their attention as they looked into it and thought it sounded fascinating.
"Didn't remember the origin" bullshit
Carl was smart to disappear, man accidentally put his stash on blast
13:53 Well.. 😭
Blood type thing - Japan has a huge obsession with blood types and the idea that it correlates to personality! It's really common for blood type to be included in character descriptions for anime or video games.
Oh man I had no idea, I was playing this skateboarding game at an arcade that included the characters blood type in the description! I was very confused to say the least..
I wouldn't call it "huge obsession", though. It has about the same level of cultural interest as horoscopes-fun to know and talk about, but few people actually take it seriously.
Punches you for no reason
"im being nicer than most. if you were near another person, they would hit you instead."
17:45
On the off-chance anyone is interested, the stock/background footage from about 5:50 to 6:10 is from River Falls Mall (circa 1993), which was in Clarksville, IN until it closed. The full video in higher quality is available on TH-cam, and as of this posting can be easily found using the name of the mall and the year mentioned.
Thank you! I actually was curious.
13:45 famous last words
