The Popularity and Confusion
Edit
Non-Vocaloid Fans and Vocaloid Fans debated on the Originality, some claiming Nyan Cat came first, while the Latter claimed the song was by Daniwell-P, with the Vocaloid Fans stating the correct one. It caused a flame wars for Japanese Fans on the Supposed Nyan Cat Video on NicoNicoDouga, telling them to "get lost" or to Speak Japanese, as it is customary in NND to speak Japanese.
It was during that time a few people visited Daniwell's Original Video and Momo's Nicovideo, helping it getting a lot views. At the same time, it helped spread the Vocaloid fandom around the West even more.
The confusion died down after a few months prior to the Nyan Cat Video, but it left a bad impression on both sides.
