About
Dynamo Feeling (Japanese: ダイナモ感覚, Dainamo Kankaku), also translated as “Dynamo Sense”, is a special sense advocated by a Japanese rapper You the Rock★.[1]
This word has been a popular catchphrase among Inmufags, fans of the Japanese gay porn phenomena A Midsummer Night's Lewd Dream, due to its deep relationship to their favorite musician Gota Nishidera (西寺郷太), the leader in a Japanese pop music group Nona Reeves.[2] In addition to this, it was also their favorite audio resource for MAD videos on the Japanese video sharing service Nico Nico Douga (NND) in around 2011-2012.
Origin
You the Rock★ derived the word “Dynamo Feeling” to agitate audiences in Nona Reeves’s in-store live show at Tower Records Shibuya on October 3rd, 2000. As he joined to their tune “DJ DJ ~ Todokanu Omoi” (lit. DJ DJ ~ I’ll never break your heart) released in the previous month, he had a guest appearance on the stage. This session was live-broadcasted by Japanese music pay channel Space Shower TV.
Translation (from 00:25-):
Nishidera: Mr. You the Rock!
You The Rock★: Here We Go! (Ikuzoo!)
Nishidera: New Tune! (Shinkyoku!)
You The Rock★: Dynamo Kankaku! Dynamo Kankaku! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yeah!
Nishidera: (quietly) DJ DJ…
Video clips recoreded that program were uploaded to YouTube by pure music fans in 2009 and 2011. Then these were imported to NND by Inmufags in November 2010[3] and August 2011.[4] This is because Nishidera has earned a cult following among Inmufags who believe he has a close resemblance to Yajuu Senpai (野獣先輩, lit. Beastly Senoir, abbr. YJSNPI), their most favorite gay porn actor in the A Midsummer Night's Lewd Dream series since before. Inmufags call him by an acronym “NSDR” and like to collect his videos to their homeground.

Spread
When the latter reprint was uploaded to NND in August 2011, this nonsensical but very catchy phrase finally succeeded to catch an attention among Inmufags and win their heart. To make the matters worse, You the Rock★, already got a nickname “YTR” from Inmufags, also forced to join onto the lineup of mockery in that gay porn meme since he had been arrested by weed and thrown to jail in May of that year. Thus, “Dynamo feeling” is sometimes dubbed as junkie’s sense. And triggered by the Mayim MayimMAD video (shown blow), this catchphrase started to be introduced to many MAD videos in the following month.[5]
Victims Reactions
NSDR, unwillingly earns a cult following among Inmufags, has continued showing a forgiving attitude to them. Though he clearly denies their insistence that he resembles to YJSNPI, he has occasionally replied jokingly to Inmufag’s messages on Twitter.[6] Inmufags call him “Big Bro NSDR” (NSDR兄貴) in honor of his graciousness.
Meanwhile, YTR only once responded to this online phenomena in his first media appearance after release from jail on November 10th, 2011, by the shout “This ain’t Dynamo Kankaku!” (ダイナモ感覚じゃないぜ!, Dynamo Kankaku ja Nai ze!) on the live performance stage in a pay channel program.
