Moymoy Palaboy is a popular Filipino comic and singing duo who upload lip sync videos to YouTube. Someone took their cover of the Backstreet Boys "Everybody" and uh... well... see for yourself. (Via)

The video appears to have been created with MikuMikuDance freeware animation software that was originally used to create 3d movies for Japanese popstar Hatsune Miku. Previously on MeFi. Wikipedia.
Music:
* World is Mine.
* Melt
* Sayonara / Goodbye
* Ai Kotoba
* Anata no Utahime

This is the left half of the original MoyMoyPalaboy MMD vid, and other (anime-only) versions of the Backstreet Boys song in MMD have been posted by other users to YouTube, in what appears to be a new meme.

cmoj, I'm guessing it wasn't that hard to do. The wikipedia page on the software says it can motion capture from a Microsoft Kinect.

Forgot a video link, sorry. This is a fourway split screen.

Never have I so much enjoyed the Backstreet Boys than watching the 4-way splitscreen video.

Why? Everything about them seems pretty standard for YouTube.

Maybe my jaded cynicism is slipping, but I enjoyed that way more than I expected to. This is exactly why I need to let my guard down more often. Thanks.

PAPA OOM MOW MOW (the SYNC link above) was especially fun.

I love these guys! Their cover of Volaré - featuring Reimu Hakurei and Rin Kagamine - is a personal favorite of mine. Never fails to cheer me up.

This one dredges up memories of Wayne's World.
I also saw that someone re-created the Bad Apple animation with this software. Watching them both side by side is pretty.

Their cover of Girlfriend (sans vocaloids) cracked me up.

I like the split-screen video with the Japanese anime, but I don't share the love of Moymoy Palaboy. There is no hell deep enough for these guys, in my opinion. Coke got them to be their celeb endorsers for one campaign, and they had this towering billboard along the highway that scared the shit out of my two year old. Fuck 'em.

You know, that mocap/facial recognition thing is really neat, but watching those splitscreen videos really drove home how much more expressive the actual human face is than any of the animations.

It's sort of troubling that these kids are probably pushing 30 now.

If an average person could use a Kinect and MMD to bang out one of these quickly and easily, the addiction factor would be immense. Vocaloids lip-syncing to GWAR? Sign me up.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to drive that goddamned Backstreet Boys song out of my skull.

Here is a video of someone using the Kinect with the MMD software. It's pretty amazing.
Also, Carlito is the best MMD music video, period~

One more MMD: Smooth Criminal. It's not a perfect sync with the live performance that the music comes from it, but I find it pretty impressive, nonetheless.

It should be noted that none of these characters are Vocaloids, either; they're from the cast of Touhou Project, a series of shooter games. Which I think underlines just how pervasive this fad is getting.
Sometimes I really love the internet.
