First off a little background.

Perfect Cherry Blossom is this shooter game for PC made by Team Shanghai Alice as part of the Touhou Project series.

The star of this fad is Alice Margatroid, the stage 3 Boss.

Now along comes IOSYS OS, a music company that does remixes of video game, Doujin, and other songs. It typically promotes some of its songs by creating flash animations of it.

(Be warned, you may be driven insane after viewing the following videos, or at least have the song stuck in your head for a good while, I dare you to watch every single one of the videos below to completion though, lol)

IOSYS OS remixed the stage theme song of Alice Margatroid, which starts 1:30 into this video playthrough of Perfect Cherry Blossom, and made a flash to promote it called:

Marisa Stole The Precious Thing

Somehow this video became widely popular (or infamous depending on how you look at it), and was widely imitated, which began this IOSYS fad.

• Mario Paint Sequencer Rendition
  
• Japan Railroad Rendition
  
• Street Fighter II Rendition
  
• Automated Super Mario Land Rendition
  
• Windows Errors Rendition
  
• Stepmania Rendition and, of course, someone playing said rendition live
  
• 8-Bit NES Super Mario Rendition
  
• Super Mario 64 Rendition
  
• Pikachu Rendition
  
• Pokemon Rendition
  
• Rozen Maiden Rendition
  
• Some Japanese guy doing a Billy Blank's Boot Camp thing
  
• And everything mixed in at once - headache inducing, lol

There are many others but mostly crap.

lolfad, that is all.
