Originally Daisuke was known as a song from the 2004 arcade rhythm game “Beatmania IIDX 10th Style,” it suddenly gained popularity by Japanese Vine and Nico Nico users in March of 2015 when users began posting videos and vines that would suddenly transition to a man (known as Dai and has made several videos of him dancing to Beatmania songs) dancing to the melody of the song, usually transitioning when someone in the original video said either “Dai,” “Suke,” or something similar sounding, similar to an earlier Rickrolling trend.
This was mainly confined to Japanese internet users but gained popularity in the English speaking part of the internet in mid April 2015 when a user known as “UltimateCringeVine” began posting such Vines on an app called iFunny, where it quickly gained a decent backing and was also spread to English speaking Vine users, who made their own Vines similar to this.
