Basically, someone found a recorded audio tape at a thrift store in Japan with a bunch of songs on it, including a slightly creepy sounding one that they couldn't identify, then asked about it on 2chan (the japanese site 4chan got it's name from) to see if anyone knew the name of it. japanese autists have been trying to track it down off and on for ten or so years now.
The video is basically a mini documentary about it.
If you wanna look up the song itself or any of the existing research, look up something like "The song on the cassette I found in Akihabara," a loose translation of the title to an upload of the song in question.
Dunno if you believe in such things, but since you mentioned paranoia, a lot of the people who looked into it in Japan refer to it as "cursed," lol.
I'm still waiting for the time when they master the art of subliminal programming, then send a suicide command out on a viral video. They have had a lot of practice hacking the human mind.
I actually think the narrator spoke in a regular voice (at normal speed) when it was recorded, but during post-processing, the recording was slowed in order to A) fit the proposed length/imagery B) make it easier understood. I've done a bunch of video editing work, and the narrated voice sounds exactly like it would if it were slowed down by 15% or so. In other words - it doesn't sound natural as though she were just speaking slowly on purpose.
I didn't read the comments until you mentioned it, but yeah, she slowed down the recording of her narration to make is sound creepier. I don't know if it's more annoying or unsettling, though.
I'm at just the right level of paranoid to not want to listen to strange audio. Care to give a small recap?
lol.

Thanks for the recap.

I think they may have done it.
But not yet on a viral video -- too easy to track.
You can make inaudible subliminal audio.
Supposedly, the brain recognizes it but the ear does not.
Pretty sure they just slowed the audio voiceover down to 75%-85%, but agree it sounds weird. At least it's not backwards!
You taking about the video I linked or the song it refers to? Lol
The female voiceover of the video.
Oh that, lol. She did that on purpose for dramatic effect

Dunno, I just know she said in the description that she did it to make it creepy, lol
