I couldn’t believe my eyes when I learned this. For a decade, no one knew the name of a song used in the singer and former YouTuber Joji’s (then Filthy Frank) video “How to Pick Up Women in 30 Different Cultures”. At 0:38 in Frank’s video, a 4 second long clip of a song plays. Since the video was uploaded in 2013, people have been searching for the name of it until no avail. Since 2019 or so, this song has been a holy grail of Lostwave songs, and has remained one of the most popular mystery songs since then. It was so obscure that even Joji himself has acknowledged the mystery after fans asked him for info about the song, stating, “Don’t know the song name, stop asking [me for it]!”

This mystery eluded people for years until just yesterday, when a user found it on YouTube. Here is nbduckman’s video detailing the search.

You can also listen to “Katonda Alinawe” in full on YouTube here.

synopsis :

Four siblings, Saleh (Rizky Fachrel), Fajar (Kiesha Alvaro), Tyas (Ratu Sofya), and Azizah (Nayla Purnama), have heard stories about heaven and hell since childhood. They were educated strictly by their father (Ariyo Wahab), a young ustad who was well respected in the village.

One night, on their way to the opposite village without their parents knowing, Saleh and his younger siblings were swept away by a strong river current and disappeared. Saleh then woke up in another realm, the hell that his father always talked about.

A search is carried out in the world to find the father's children, whether alive or dead. One by one the secrets are revealed, making the father and mother (Astri Nurdin) assess whether they have provided enough for their children. In hell, Saleh and the others also search for each other, while facing an increasingly large reflection of the sins they have been hiding.

I came across this Youtube video about 3 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2EL-6oU0Wg

It contains two segments: The first segment is harsh noise, which to my surface level research, cannot be found anywhere online. The only instance I have been able to find online (via searching the title of the song, the artist name, as well as scouring various reddit threads) has been in the video linked. The second segment being a completely different song, which has been found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMD2sbbGcAM

Some info that may be helpful:

The supposed artist of the song, Toiwinkuru, translates phonetically in Japanese to Twinkle, the artist of the second segment of the song.

The song name, ガオガオピョノイズ, translates in English to "Gao Gao with Noise", leading me to believe that the uploader may have spliced the two segments together himself, and may also have possibly created the noise segment himself.

I messaged the uploader of the video on his twitter account 2 years ago, but to this day they have not seen the messages.

The cover is from the Belarusian punk rock band Ksilema's self titled album "Ksilema", and from what I can tell has no correlation to either segments of the song.

Ōkōchi Gengorō Ikka (大河内源五郎一家, lit. "Ōkōchi Gengorō Family" or "Gengoichi Shimoda") is an unreleased Nintendo 64 simulation game. During the N64 era, there was no information about this game being featured in magazines or other media, but it became generally known on April 12, 2007, when Game Tanteidan, a used retro game store in Nihonbashi, Osaka, introduced a prototype ROM of the game on its blog.

In the summer of 1999, Mexia Supermarket, a Fort Worth, Texas grocery store, was shut down after its owners declared bankruptcy. Three months following its abandonment, city officials would discover that everything was left inside to decay, creating an extremely biohazardous environment. It is known that a walkthrough, the clean-up process, and other news story footage was captured of the incident.

Akihabara@Deep is a Japanese novel by Ira Ishida that was originally published in 2004. Telling the story about a group of otaku social outcasts aiming to solve problems in their local hangout, the novel inspired a manga series, a Japanese television drama, and a live-action film.

At the 2006 Tokyo Anime Fair, Nickelodeon and Polygon Pictures announced their intent to develop the novel into a CG-animated series. Akihabara@Deep ultimately went unfinished. It's not known how far into production the series went into before cancellation.

IN MAJOR DEVELOPMENT, an animator involved in the creation of the Shrek test animation has generously released the entire test to the public. The newly accessible version spans a duration of 38 seconds, albeit with audio quality on the lower side. An intriguing revelation accompanies this release, as listeners can now discern that Tom Kenny, widely known for voicing characters like SpongeBob, is not the voice behind the mugger in this particular versionof the short.

This disclosure adds extra layer of interest for Shrek enthusiasts and animation aficionados alike. The significance of this test animation in the development of the beloved Shrek franchise amplifies its value. What was once a behind-the-scenes glimpse for industry insiders has now become a treasure trove for fans seeking to explore the early stages of Shrek's creation. The availability of this version in full HD enhances the viewing experience, providing a clearer window into the animation process that eventually gave rise to one of best characters

Obee Vermeij is a developer who worked on Rockstar Games from 1995 until 2009, like a week ago, he created a blog named https://insiderockstarnorth.blogspot.com/, which detailed a lot of very interesting information about the development of the original GTA trilogy, GTA 4, their cancelled Cold War spy-action game Agent, and even stuff like a never-before-publicly-revealed Zombie Survival game set in Scotland that was being developed around the same time as Vice City (2002), and many more.

Like, how can I describe it? this blog is every GTA fan dream, it even revealed 20-year-old unexplained mysteries in the GTA trilogy, like explaining the easter egg of why the moon in the original GTA games enlarges when you shoot it with a sniper rifle.

Very awesome stuff for GTA and video game fans in general!, a ton of GTA-centric YouTube channels have made videos about this blog in various languages, but unfortunately, since this topic is related to a multi-billion dollar media empire like Rockstar Games, the company that constantly shuts down fan mods, Obee's last post was about how he received an e-mail from Rockstar North telling him to stop, and so it did, the blogspot was deleted.

However.... The blog and apparently all of its contents were archived on the Wayback Machine, but again, since this is Rockstar Games that we are talking about, I recommend everyone in the Lost Media and GTA/Rockstar Games community to archive all of its content on the WayBack Machine in case Rockstar goes against the Wayback Machine too!

im confident everyone here has at least heard of the mobile game series Battle Cats. if you are unfamiliar with battle cats, its a strategy game where you deploy cats out to fight other animals. but im here to discuss not battle cats but rather another game made by the same company, PONOS corporation. back when i played battle cats a lot, i decided to download all the other games made by ponos to see if they were also any good. two of the ones i downloaded were sister games called "Onibi". one was called Onibi-Chan Futari. you control two fire orbs with your thumbs and have to dodge water droplets while also collecting fire. its a fun little game to kill time with, and ive had a lot of enjoyment with it. the other game, Onibi-Chan Hitori was a different story. thought im not positive how it played, from the few screenshots of it i have it seemed to be the same as the other game but with one orb instead of two. upon opening the app, the game would lock on a black screen for a while. after 30ish seconds, the app would simply close. i tried for months to get this game to work, but it never did. i eventually uninstalled it. since then, both apps were deleted off the app store (at least in my region, the usa). ive tried using download links off the web to play it but it always crashes or just never loads at all. for anyone wondering, i still have the sister app downloaded and it works just fine despite having been taken off the appstore. if anyone happens to have any further info about this seemingly lost game id be happy to hear it
