If you thought you had seen everything about the most popular “Rickroll” meme, then let us tell you that it is not like that, because a video in the anime version of the famous song ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ by singer Rick Astley has been released, which is interpreted into the Japanese language and without a doubt it sounds like a serial opening.
The video published by a user on YouTube named Christya, presents us with a brief intro of Rick Astley’s original video, to later give way to an image of the singer as if he were an anime character, at the same time that the song begins with sound piano and give way to guitar riffs, which have a peculiar sound like Japanese bands.
The song of little more than 2 minutes, is completely sung in Japanese, while in the description of the video the lyrics are shared so that those of us who are fans of this song can sing this version, very different from the one from the eighties.
The song was published on July 19 of this year and already has 1,265,602 views so far, as well as 121,704 likes.
The “Rickroll” is one of the oldest video memes and is that it consists of a bait where a video of interest becomes a music video, in this case, the 1987 song by Rick Astley. Also, as part of the joke, a video link in question is hidden to other links, which are supposed to take the user to a site and later to the YouTube page of the video.
Rick Astley’s original video has already accumulated more than 1.04 billion views since it was posted on the video platform in 2009.
