Suwako on Drugs Explained

As part of celebrating Anime Boston's 10th anniversary, I decided to upload the incomplete version that explains the reference in Suwako on Drugs. This was done to show where the references were. Over a year later and with the help of a few people on TH-cam, I can now call this complete, just in time for Anime Boston 2013.
Meme: Raging X; X on Drugs

0:36 wtf Reimu?!

[@Eri21486]

Yea, that seems to be the reaction towards Kinkaku... Honestly, the Reimu video is actually a parody of another video, where a wrestler is looped in a Gif doing that dance to his towel.

[@BrunoSantosTDL]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I was so curious about where many of the references were from, this is one very educational video! :D

suwako is a very cheering character, that’s why this video is not only hilarious, it’s so cute too

Oh you have no idea....
In reality though, I can not hear this song without thinking about the Raging X/X on Drugs series.... This video has literally become my drug....

[@Jal_Ei]

0:25 is a reference to the hatsune miku Ievan polkka where she swings a leek

[@Eri21486]

In hindsight, yes that is a reference to Hatsune Miku Llevan Polkka. However, at the time of research, I based it off the original Reimu on X, which had some other memes included within it.
Fun Fact: Did you know the leek is actually from the anime Bleach. The original Llevan Polkka was a GIF of Orihime from Bleach spinning a leek mashed together with the song. It can be search as Leek Spin. In 2007, Hatsune did a cover of the song and had the leek. The rest is history.

[@adaslothland850]

0:32 I was sure that it was a sailor moon reference.

[@Eri21486]

The thing with memes, they like to borrow from others. It very well may have been inspired by Sailor Moon which ended up in the Tewi & Reisen version of Popipo.

[@bread5508]

[@szafirekk]

I think 0:25 is Ievan Polkka dance with leek x'3

[@Eri21486]

You may be right and you may be wrong. I personally think the motion is a reference to the original Reimu on Drugs. However, looking closely, the arm on the hips can be associated with Hatsune Miku's Levan Polkka dance.

Ask away! I can try to answer... LOL

[@chairmeme6231]

@@Eri21486 where is this from and why

[@Eri21486]

@@chairmeme6231 Suwako is a character in the Touhou Universe. The song is also from the Touhou Universe. The video itself is from Japan, specifically from a website called NND (Nico Nico Douga). The why is hard to explain though but I can say this, the Suwako version is the last of the 3 iterations of this same meme. Last but not least, the meme is called "Raging X" or "X on Drugs" where the X can be changed to whoever is in the video. I will admit though, there is some confusion with the "Prismriver Sisters on Drugs" or "Tamiflyu Sisters" meme due to the name but the concepts is pretty much the same, creating a dance with various other memes embedded within it.

Seriously though, I don't think I would be good for a Touhou explain since I really have not been in the Touhou fandom since UFO (even though I want to play the newer games.) However, I do love memes and found it really funny to see memes in places where they should not be, like Caramelldansen in Phineas & Ferb or Tsukasa'a dance from Lucky Star in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. Shoot, Gagnam Style was in MLP:EG...
