The Japanese did it again! The latest photo meme which has gone viral on the internet featuring a visual trick displaying giants against normal sized humans is getting various attention in the month of May 2013. The pictures were actually made based on the plot of Attack On Titan 進撃の巨人,  a relatively new Anime series which just debuted in April 2013 where it has created waves of conversations due to its unique plot.

The manga version of Attack On Titan 進撃の巨人 actually started off back in 2009 where it was just part of a monthly publication of Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine. A stand-alone tankōbon (Single Book by itself) version was released only in 2010 with the anime series being released in 2013 as mentioned above and THAT was when this title picked up interest from various individuals.

Japanese fans of the title Attack On Titan 進撃の巨人 has posted such images in the mid of April 2013 and there are quite a few other pictures featuring different versions of giants. One particular Twitter user with the Twitter handle @murai79 posted an image through Twitter and that tweet was retweeted more than 4,000 times.

The news of a live action adaptation on Attack On Titan 進撃の巨人 (Shingeki no Kyojin) excites the Anime community as well with an unofficial poster making its round of sharing on social media networks in recent weeks.

Lyrics/translation of Hari (하리) – Little Cute Song (귀요미 송)
초코 머핀 한 조각 시켜놓고
I ordered a chocolate muffin
고소한 우유한잔을 기다려요
Waiting for a cup of tasty milk
오빠하고 나하고 꼭 마주 앉아서
Oppa and I sitting face to face
서로 손바닥 위에 예쁜 낙서를 하죠
We scribbled on each other palms

한눈 팔지마 누가 뭐래도 내꺼 (내꺼)
Do not look around, no matter what others say you are mine (Mine)
다른 여자랑 말도 섞지마 난 니꺼 (난 니꺼)
Do not speak to other girls, I’m yours(I’m yours)

새끼 손가락 걸고 꼭 약속해줘요
Do a pinky promise and tell me
절대 나 혼자 내버려 두지 않기로
That you’ll never leave me alone

Don’t think this is the first time someone posted a picture like this online but somehow it seems to be trending in Japan with no apparent reason. Pictures showing Japanese teens doing some power moves featured in the popular manga and anime series Dragonball. To be exact, the pictures seem to showcase one single person releasing an invisible energy that will make the people around flying away.

According to DannyChoo.com, this is a meme which was started by a bunch of Japanese high school girls (where are the boys eh?) called Makankosappo. It is actually a signature move that Piccolo does in Dragon Ball.

Not sure if it’s a seeded promotional social campaign started in anticipation of the new Dragon Ball Z movie by Toei Animation that is releasing in Japan today – 30 March 2013, but it’s really cool for these people to come out with such pictures. Awesome stuff!

In early 2012, a 30 minutes long YouTube video became viral pretty quick. The downfall of its virality escalated even faster. That’s KONY2012 for you if you remember what’s that all about.

Now in early 2013, the viral mode has been activated on a 30 seconds long track. A track which comes along with a video featuring a bunch of people doing stupid things in the last 10-15 seconds. THAT is the current Harlem Shake phenomenon that is taking over the world at the moment. But what exactly is Harlem Shake?

For your information, Harlem Shake can be referring to 3 things.

Harlem Shake (Dance)
The Harlem shake, originally called the albee in Harlem, is a dance that started in 1981. The dance became mainstream in 2001 when G. Dep featured the Harlem shake in his music video “Let’s Get It”. It has its history from a type of dance exercised in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, called “Eskista” and was allegedly started in Harlem by a man named Al B.

Harlem Shake (song)
“Harlem Shake” is a song recorded by American DJ and producer Baauer. It was released as a free digital download by Mad Decent imprint label Jeffree’s on May 22, 2012. The song incorporates an undulating synth, harsh snares, a mechanical bassline, and samples of growling-lion sounds. It also samples Plastic Little’s 2001 song “Miller Time”, specifically the vocal “then do the Harlem shake”, which is an allusion to dance of the same name. Baauer added a variety of peculiar sounds to the song so that it would stand out.

Harlem Shake Phenomenon (meme)
In February 2013, a YouTube video set to “Harlem Shake” developed into an internet meme. The media response to the meme helped increase the single’s sales, as it reached number 12 on the US Dance/Electronic Songs chart. It also charted at number three on both the Scottish and UK Singles charts. The meme is in the form of a video that began being replicated according to a similar concept by many people. The art form of the meme was established in a video uploaded on February 2 by The Sunny Coast Skate, five teenagers from Queensland, Australia. The teenagers’ video, in its turn, was a follow-up to a video by a YouTube comedy vlogger named Filthy Frank featuring a part where several costumed persons danced to the song “Harlem Shake” by Baauer.

This post is about the Harlem Shake Phenomenon (meme).

Throughout the second week of February 2013, more than 4,000 “Harlem Shake” videos were uploaded to YouTube each day, according to YouTube’s official trend report. By February 13th, approximately 12,000 “Harlem Shake” videos had been posted, gaining more than 44 million views.

If you’re comparing both Gangnam Style and Harlem Shake, then stop it. They are of different leagues altogether. Just keep calm and do the Harlem Shake! Oh and I personally think that this whole phenomenon won’t last long.
