Several animation videos started appearing, with relatively few successes. In August 2008, a user in Nico Nico Douga uploaded a video of a crude storyboard based on the remixed music, asking for anyone to animate it. It shared little similarity with the original soundtrack, borrowing only a little of melody samples, but nonetheless it was notable as being the only vocal song in the album, and for its lyrics dealing with depression and apathy. In 2007, a longer cover version featuring the Japanese singer Nomico was released in the album Lovelight by the artists group Alstroemeria Records, lead by Masayoshi Minoshima. Song by Alstroemeria Records featuring Nomico The name likely derives from the proverb that "one bad apple spoils the bunch". In the 2010s, the version sung by Nomico and the black-and-white video sequence were ported to several second-generation video game consoles and graphing calculators, for retrocomputing and demoscene competitions, becoming a graphical equivalent to the "Hello, World!" programs of older computer systems in the demoscene communities. It is notable for leading to a much later remix by Masayoshi Minoshima and singer Nomico and following the remix a subsequent accompanying black-and-white shadow puppet-video. The instrumental theme was originally designed to be played during the third stage of the game, as chiptune on the Japanese NEC PC-9800 computer platform, at 161 beats per minute using a frequency modulation synthesis chip.
