=== Secrets of the Medley ===
**4.** Heidi is a novel by Swiss author Johanna Spyri; first published in 1880. It tells the tale of an little orphan girl who is given into the care of a hermit grandfather at the Swiss Alps. The novel was [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidi,_Girl_of_the_Alps|adapted as an anime]] in 1974 by Nippon Animation, directed by Takahata Isao.\\
Schneehoppli, nicknamed Yuki-chan by Heidi in the anime; is a goat Heidi and goatherd Peter saved from the danger of being slaughtered by its owner. Klara Sesemann is girl who is unable to walk due to her illness. Here, Heidi is excited about Klara's change which surprises Grandpa.\\
**5.** Created by Swedish-speaking Finnish artist Tove Jansson, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moomin|The Moomins]] (Mumin) is a comic book series that received multiple anime versions in Japan throughtout 1969-1992. The two characters referenced here in this medley are Moominmamma and Moomintroll.\\
**11.** The three characters speaking here are Nezumi-Otoko, Medama-Oyaji and Kitarō.\\
**12.** Nyanko the cat delivers the speaking role here.\\
**13.** Daibadatta is a sage who grants Yamato Takeshi the ability to transform into Rainbowman and teaches how to use the powers properly. The sage's character was inspired after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devadatta|Devadatta]], who was a Buddhist monk.

And there's even an in-joke in the credits to the image song: There is a famous music group in Japan called "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orquesta_de_la_Luz|Orquesta De La Luz]]", although they perform outside Japan most of the time.\\
The reason why they're famous is because they do Latin-American music, and none of their lyrics are in Japanese! Thus we get the "Orchestra del Otakus" (Orchestra of the Otaku).

//By Kanda Yoshimi, from the original Otaku no Video soundtrack album liner notes://
>An incomparable Karaoke Boom has arrived!
>In this time, when old and young alike are grabbing hold of echoing microphones and not letting go, we have overcome the high walls of record companies and copyrights to make real the hopes of the 80,000,000 anime fans all over Japan! The songs of youth, that remain in our hearts, the wonderful melodies that we can never forget... On dreamlike planning, that time, that moment, is now reborn!
>At anime research group parties and dōjinshi spot-sale markets, after the profitable business is done, we want everyone to sing in chorus, with loud voices.
>If the response to this CD is strong, then a second volume, an attack on the maniacs, and a third volume, specializing in the majors, could also be produced. You, too, sing along, while recalling the memories associated with each of these songs!
