Where does the “smooooch ・∀・” meme come from?
The track originates from the arcade game Beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, composed by Japanese DJ kors k and released on November 19, 2008. The background graphic (BGA), created by illustrator Maya Takayama, features three princesses dancing to this fast-paced tune. The phenomenon gained traction on the Japanese platform Nico Nico Douga. A popular edit posted on December 7, 2008, marked a turning point by replacing the original princesses with Rin Kaenbyō from the Touhou Project series.
