\"NAB's
\nSince Tsuyoshi Kusanagi<\/em> stepped down from the role promoting digital terrestrial TV service (see this<\/a> for more details), NAB,\u00a0 the National Association of Commercial Broadcasters in Japan<\/a>, were forced to introduce a new promoter, which is Chide-jika<\/em>[J]<\/a>, punning the words of digital TV and deer.
\nIn opposition to the deer’s activity, users of Japan’s largest Internet forum 2 channel[J]<\/a> together created an anthropomorphic bear character in parody, named Analoguma<\/em>[J]<\/a>, and a number of geeks following the boom launched sites introducing his profile and fight song all around Japanese blogosphere.
\nNAB announced it would accuse fan-art reproduction without permission to the prosecutor as violating the original’s copyright, which caused an ironic burst in popularity of the deer promoting a new broadcast system and his tough opponent who wants to conserve the current system.
\nSome people composed a fight song for the bear, containing vocal made by the singing synthesizer Hatsune Miku<\/em>(pdf)<\/a>, and those were uploaded and introduced on Japan’s CGM-based video sharing site “Nico Nico Douga[J]<\/a>“.
\nThe embeded video shown below is quoted from YouTube, since its original stored on Nico Nico Douga is prohibited to be quoted.

\nThe other people launched a parody site having the domain name of “chidejika.jp”, which takes you to a set of many fan-art drawings on the illustration SNS pixiv[J]<\/a>.
