Only proof of its existence I can find is here, apparently it was formerly dubbed by Happy TV, which seemed to be a channel for airing childrens TV shows. I don't actually know if it's lost or not but I can't find it anywhere.

There are a lot of lost media topics that have come forward from a memory or recollection, but are not specific enough for us to definitively search for. Today, let's discuss some of these topics and see if we can figure out what they are!

In Ypsilanti Michigan during WW2, a film maker, Walter Pidgeon, found a girl working there named Rose Monroe. As the trend of Rosie the Riveter was taking off due to a recent hit song and Norman Rockwell doing a Rosie painting, he made a series of propaganda films with Rose. I'm looking for those films, as I am a volunteer for a museum that is on the old factory grounds. Any information on where I can find these films would be super helpful for our museum. Thanks all.

Not able to moderate as much as I used to given some irl issues that pile up. So I'm leaving a post if anyone wants to take a shot at doing so, just message and I'll approve it. Merges and community transfers are also welcome if those are options though I need to find those.

Requirements are knowing the community guidelines and being active enough to act on reports when they come.

Not to be confused with the 2014 OpenBlox (legacy version) repo that has been found

Clues:

The outdated repo: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openblox/

Alot of Riley Reid’s Youtube videos
have been removed from her public channel..

@RileyReidx3

If I remember correctly, in her channel, she had many videos, today I discovered, only three are available.. The last time I visited, was probably over around two years ago.. I am also confused as to why I am the only one who discovered this on the internet, as she was fairly popular.. Is there any other available source to reach her old videos? Any feedback reply will be appreciated …

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I learned this. For a decade, no one knew the name of a song used in the singer and former YouTuber Joji’s (then Filthy Frank) video “How to Pick Up Women in 30 Different Cultures”. At 0:38 in Frank’s video, a 4 second long clip of a song plays. Since the video was uploaded in 2013, people have been searching for the name of it until no avail. Since 2019 or so, this song has been a holy grail of Lostwave songs, and has remained one of the most popular mystery songs since then. It was so obscure that even Joji himself has acknowledged the mystery after fans asked him for info about the song, stating, “Don’t know the song name, stop asking [me for it]!”

This mystery eluded people for years until just yesterday, when a user found it on YouTube. Here is nbduckman’s video detailing the search.

You can also listen to “Katonda Alinawe” in full on YouTube here.

I came across this Youtube video about 3 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2EL-6oU0Wg

It contains two segments: The first segment is harsh noise, which to my surface level research, cannot be found anywhere online. The only instance I have been able to find online (via searching the title of the song, the artist name, as well as scouring various reddit threads) has been in the video linked. The second segment being a completely different song, which has been found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMD2sbbGcAM

Some info that may be helpful:

The supposed artist of the song, Toiwinkuru, translates phonetically in Japanese to Twinkle, the artist of the second segment of the song.

The song name, ガオガオピョノイズ, translates in English to "Gao Gao with Noise", leading me to believe that the uploader may have spliced the two segments together himself, and may also have possibly created the noise segment himself.

I messaged the uploader of the video on his twitter account 2 years ago, but to this day they have not seen the messages.

The cover is from the Belarusian punk rock band Ksilema's self titled album "Ksilema", and from what I can tell has no correlation to either segments of the song.

Title screen.

Ōkōchi Gengorō Ikka (大河内源五郎一家, lit. "Ōkōchi Gengorō Family" or "Gengoichi Shimoda") is an unreleased Nintendo 64 simulation game. During the N64 era, there was no information about this game being featured in magazines or other media, but it became generally known on April 12, 2007, when Game Tanteidan, a used retro game store in Nihonbashi, Osaka, introduced a prototype ROM of the game on its blog.

In the summer of 1999, Mexia Supermarket, a Fort Worth, Texas grocery store, was shut down after its owners declared bankruptcy. Three months following its abandonment, city officials would discover that everything was left inside to decay, creating an extremely biohazardous environment. It is known that a walkthrough, the clean-up process, and other news story footage was captured of the incident.

Akihabara@Deep is a Japanese novel by Ira Ishida that was originally published in 2004. Telling the story about a group of otaku social outcasts aiming to solve problems in their local hangout, the novel inspired a manga series, a Japanese television drama, and a live-action film.

At the 2006 Tokyo Anime Fair, Nickelodeon and Polygon Pictures announced their intent to develop the novel into a CG-animated series. Akihabara@Deep ultimately went unfinished. It's not known how far into production the series went into before cancellation.

From r/lostmedia : https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/182ndxp/found_major_news_about_shrek_lost_animation/

IN MAJOR DEVELOPMENT, an animator involved in the creation of the Shrek test animation has generously released the entire test to the public. The newly accessible version spans a duration of 38 seconds, albeit with audio quality on the lower side. An intriguing revelation accompanies this release, as listeners can now discern that Tom Kenny, widely known for voicing characters like SpongeBob, is not the voice behind the mugger in this particular versionof the short.

This disclosure adds extra layer of interest for Shrek enthusiasts and animation aficionados alike. The significance of this test animation in the development of the beloved Shrek franchise amplifies its value. What was once a behind-the-scenes glimpse for industry insiders has now become a treasure trove for fans seeking to explore the early stages of Shrek's creation. The availability of this version in full HD enhances the viewing experience, providing a clearer window into the animation process that eventually gave rise to one of best characters

Obee Vermeij is a developer who worked on Rockstar Games from 1995 until 2009, like a week ago, he created a blog named https://insiderockstarnorth.blogspot.com/, which detailed a lot of very interesting information about the development of the original GTA trilogy, GTA 4, their cancelled Cold War spy-action game Agent, and even stuff like a never-before-publicly-revealed Zombie Survival game set in Scotland that was being developed around the same time as Vice City (2002), and many more.

Like, how can I describe it? this blog is every GTA fan dream, it even revealed 20-year-old unexplained mysteries in the GTA trilogy, like explaining the easter egg of why the moon in the original GTA games enlarges when you shoot it with a sniper rifle.

Very awesome stuff for GTA and video game fans in general!, a ton of GTA-centric YouTube channels have made videos about this blog in various languages, but unfortunately, since this topic is related to a multi-billion dollar media empire like Rockstar Games, the company that constantly shuts down fan mods, Obee's last post was about how he received an e-mail from Rockstar North telling him to stop, and so it did, the blogspot was deleted.

However.... The blog and apparently all of its contents were archived on the Wayback Machine, but again, since this is Rockstar Games that we are talking about, I recommend everyone in the Lost Media and GTA/Rockstar Games community to archive all of its content on the WayBack Machine in case Rockstar goes against the Wayback Machine too!

from r/lostmedia : https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/180pugm/fully_lost_obscure_japanese_mobile_game_made_by_a/

im confident everyone here has at least heard of the mobile game series Battle Cats. if you are unfamiliar with battle cats, its a strategy game where you deploy cats out to fight other animals. but im here to discuss not battle cats but rather another game made by the same company, PONOS corporation. back when i played battle cats a lot, i decided to download all the other games made by ponos to see if they were also any good. two of the ones i downloaded were sister games called "Onibi". one was called Onibi-Chan Futari. you control two fire orbs with your thumbs and have to dodge water droplets while also collecting fire. its a fun little game to kill time with, and ive had a lot of enjoyment with it. the other game, Onibi-Chan Hitori was a different story. thought im not positive how it played, from the few screenshots of it i have it seemed to be the same as the other game but with one orb instead of two. upon opening the app, the game would lock on a black screen for a while. after 30ish seconds, the app would simply close. i tried for months to get this game to work, but it never did. i eventually uninstalled it. since then, both apps were deleted off the app store (at least in my region, the usa). ive tried using download links off the web to play it but it always crashes or just never loads at all. for anyone wondering, i still have the sister app downloaded and it works just fine despite having been taken off the appstore. if anyone happens to have any further info about this seemingly lost game id be happy to hear it

I notice a few oddities in EKT that bug me. I just partially transcribed a cleaned, voice only version of EKT into a very rough IPA timestamped transcript.

IPA like lyrics (text in brackets were not transcribed and are easily legible)

your canin on (invisable consinant, m?) ~~sh en~~ shape s in the (held "a") y

cʌt up [" in a world of lies"]

ever one ["knows that you got"] (taunting tone)

a te re ah ["motives"]

["tell me the"] tuu th

(vocoding effect subtly increased) e ver ver show

Interpretation of the above

~~your counting ~~on~~ all machine(s)/shape(s) in the sky

caught up in a world of lies

ever(y) one knows that you got

alterior motives

(tell me the truith) ever ver show

lyrics oddities.

  • for some reason she says "ever one" instead of "everyone".
  • the last line is not "ever(y) one shows", she is saying "ever" followed by "ver" followed by "show".
  • "truth" is pronounced like "tooth".
  • the vocoding effect increses slightly at the end of the clip, it is also perfectly cut. my theory is that is indicates a transition or ending.
  • comparing the two times "ever" is said

This post is based on this redit thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/10hll81/partially_lost_the_melancholy_of_haruhi_suzumiya/

This entry is about the original 2004 manga adapted from the light novels by Makoto Mizuno, not the well know 2005 version by another author. Despite what sources may say, the manga has ever truely been fully found.

While the chapter 1-5 and is well known and available, but the existance of Chapters 6-8 are very under reported on. With even the fandom wiki only having minimal information about chapters 1-5 that were released in a tankoban, with many sources not even acknowledging their existence. The truth is there were 8 chapters released in Shonen Ace magazine with the 8th Chapter in the December issue being the last before this manga was cancelled.

So the way it goes is that the entire cancelled series (Chapters 1-8) appeared in the monthly magazine Shonen Ace throughout the year 2004, and Chapters 1-5 were released in Vol 1.

Progress so far:

Chapter 1-5 is available and chapter 7 has been found by a redditor leaving chapter 6 and 8 still lost.

Chapter 1-5: Found (Available in volume 1)

Chapter 6: Lost (Only in October 2004 Shonen Ace)

Chapter 7: Found (Only in Nov 2004 Shonen Ace)

Chapter 8: Lost (Only in December 2004 Shonen Ace)
