Omoide wa Okkusenman!: History and Key Facts

"Omoide wa Okkusenman!" (思い出はおっくせんまん！; translated as "110 million memories!" or "Countless memories!") is a song that has become an Internet meme in Japan. The original song was composed by Capcom composer Takashi Tateishi as the background music for Doctor Wily's Stage in Mega Man 2 titled "Wily's Castle (Dr. Wily Stage 1)", but was eventually rearranged by an individual solely known as "Blue Fang" (蒼い牙, Aoi Kiba). Lyrics were later written for this version of the song, and then posted to YouTube on February 6, 2007, by the user PiggKingg and then posted in full on February 14. The song describes the singer reminiscing about his childhood and friends, particularly pretending to be Ultraman/Ultraseven with them, while realizing his life and theirs is nothing like what it used to be.
