Hetalia: Axis Powers - Ending Remix

Original Voice Actor Version
(Focus on the audio and lyrics not the video, it is not an animated music video)


World Remix

Some background on how the remix was made: The creator had a instrumental version of the full song for people to download. The creator told YouTube to create a video of themselves singing it in their language (with the original lyrics or made up lyrics that reflect your country of origin) and then video response it to the video with the instrumental version. After all the videos were gathered, the creator created a mix of those languages together all in one video.

The remix shows a few elements in the video. First element, it shows the nations' pictures of how they look like in the anime. Second, the fact that the editor got YouTubers to sing the song, even if its off pitch, and post it on YouTube. Third, are the many different languages in the video.

The original song was made to sound silly and childish, it's supposed to be humorous. The original also, reflects the character of the anime and the producers made the audio so they can profit from selling the CDs. The remix shows two main components. The first, would be to show that many people view the anime from around the world. Although, the anime is stereotyping nations around the world people generally enjoy the anime. The second, is to make a video that contained a user version of the song, instead of the official voice actors* cast version of the song. Since, the anime is based of many nations of the world the users are trying to recreate the song so it would represent their country in their language. Also, because the voice actor can only sing it in Japanese instead of their character's language the users can sing the song in their language for the corresponding character.

*There are many different versions of the song that contain the official voice actors singing they're character's version of the song. The are all published and put on Disc to make a profit off the songs.

If you want to listen to the other official versions of the song you can find them on YouTube. Search Maru Kaite Chikyuu, then type the nation's name and typing official is optional, you might get a user-generated one if you don't search official. Another option is searching for the Non-stop version. The different versions of this song are Germany, Japan, America, Russia, China, France, United Kingdom (or England), Chibitalia (Kid Italy), Holy Roman Empire, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Poland, Lithuania, Austria, Prussia, Spain, and Sealand. If you want to know what they're singing about go to Hetalia Wikai and look up the version you want.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn - This is War

This video is effective because if the viewers have watched the anime they would understand the video perfectly. If the viewer has not watched it, in the comments I've seen "what's the name of this anime?". The song fits with the anime pretty well although the anime is not based on war the lyrics resembles parts of the anime. The video editor did an excellent job at running through 203 episodes to find the right scenes to put this all together, and timing the video with the audio at the right time. If it was generated from traditional media, I believe that this would have not been made unless they would profit from the video or the video would generate more viewers for the show.

P.S. Am I aloud to share one more?!? It was so hard to choose a video!
