Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya! - Daniwell

If you've been chillin' around the internet for the past few years, you've probably heard of "Nyan Cat" or the "Poptart Cat". If you haven't for whatever reason, I'll give you the basic lowdown. "Nyan" is the Japanese equivalent of "Meow" as in the sound that a cat makes (duh). The Nyan Cat internet meme features a poptart with the head, arms, legs, and tail of a cat, shooting a rainbow from its butt and flying through space while an endless and catchy loop of the word "Nyan" is repeated over and over. Needless to say, its amazing...or annoying. Depends on your high frequency tolerance or HFT

BTW...the thing about the HFT...I made it up...but still, its important as A LOT of Miku songs are very high pitched.

Unfortunately, most of the people who hear and enjoy the Nyan Cat meme in America don't know that it was originally a Hatsune Miku song.

The poptart cat version is actually UTAU Momo Momone

An UTAU if you don't know, is the freeware version of Vocaloid. There are many different characters, each with their own voice banks, but don't expect the quality of the synth to be anywhere equal to a Vocaloid which costs generally around $200. Then again, many people enjoy the sound of UTAU better. It's all a matter of taste. I suppose I'll talk about some UTAU songs in the future too!

Anyway, I decided I'm going to rate the songs I discuss. THIS RATING IS BY NO MEANS OFFICIAL! THIS IS MY OPINION!

The Rating

5/10

Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya! is catchy, cute, and makes on hell of a viral video, but when it comes down to substance, this song is pretty much lacking in every category. Still, this song doesn't pretend to be serious...and its not. It's fun to listen to and it must have been fun to make. Daniwell is a great producer who has made THE CUTEST songs, some of which are fantastic from a musical standpoint as well as the "fun" standpoint.
