Welcome back to the I Am Anime website
Dwango and Pixiv are collaborating to determine the most popular words on the internet this year based on the number of accesses in 2024 to each word page of the services operated by each company, Niconico Encyclopedia and Pixiv Encyclopedia. 100” will be held. From 7:00 pm on December 18, 2024, we will announce the ranking of the 100 nominated words from 1st to 100th, and the 1st place word will be recognized as the annual grand prize. The award ceremony, with Katsuyuki Konishi and Haruka Mori serving as MCs, will be broadcast live on Niconico Live Broadcasting.
The “100 Internet Buzzwords” was started in 2018, and this year marks the 7th time. The awards ceremony, which will be broadcast live on Niconico Live Broadcasting, invites people and organizations connected to the 100 words nominated, and announces the rankings and annual awards.
In addition, there will also be a “Niconico Award” where Niconico users select “words that they think will be popular in 2024” through a questionnaire, and a “pixiv Award” where users select from tags (words) that have been posted more on pixiv compared to 2023. The “Internet New Words Award” is awarded to the 100 Internet Buzzwords Committee (Dwango Pixiv), which selects words that have been newly created on the Internet and have become a particularly big topic.
In 2024, the robot anime “Courage Explosion Burn Brave Burn”, which began broadcasting in January, and the 21st work in the PreCure series, “Wandafuru PreCure!” ”, “Shikano no Kokoko Shitantan” with its memorable opening theme, and the black comedy “Magical Girl ni Amorete” which became popular from the web manga and has been decided to produce the second season of the anime. He has been nominated numerous times. Several related words from the movie “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM”, which attracted 3 million viewers and box office revenue of 5 billion yen, were nominated.
In addition, regarding VOCALOID, which is becoming more and more popular in the music scene, I absolutely love “Mezmarizer,” which has set numerous records with a rapid increase in the number of plays since its release, and the dragon drawn with a simple touch. The song “Favorite Side Dishes Announcement Dragon”, which announces side dishes, has been released.
In addition to internet memes such as “If you step on it, you’ll be saved…”, “Chippichi Pichapa Chapa”, “Cat Meme”, and the lyrics of the song “Happy Funny Lucky” from the game “THE IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors”, what are the actual words? “Shrimp Massage”, which became a hot topic because of its different sound, was nominated. Furthermore, from the sports genre, we have a lineup of 100 words unique to Dwango and Pixiv that comprehensively reflect the excitement of the Internet, such as the lineup of “Unpaid Uncle”, the nickname of an Olympic athlete from the Internet.
In addition, as an award limited to this year, users will be able to vote on words that were popular on the internet during the two months of June and July 2024, when Niconico was unable to gain access due to a cyber attack. The “Anaume Award” (abbreviated as “Two Month Award”) was also established. “Shinji Ishimaru” was selected as a result of a vote held from November 6th to 12th using 20 words picked up from internet topics during the target period.
Reasons for voting include: “It was a fairly advanced and historic example for a politician who successfully promoted himself online,” “The instantaneous wind speed in June and July was amazing,” and “His SNS strategy created a whirlwind in Ishimaru.” “It was the center of conversation,” and many comments were made about the Tokyo gubernatorial election, which was attracting attention at the same time.
