Magnet is a redraw meme. Fanartists, cosplayers and/or photomanip editors parody the cover art for Magnet, a song made with Vocaloid's Miku and Luka by Minato, aka RyuuseiP. The cover illustration was done by Yunomi (ゆのみ) in MikuMikuDance, an animation program, with assets by Ue Shino (上宮忍), a 3D modeler. It's likely the most popular fanwork for the Negitoro pairing.

This song was released on Nico Nico Douga in 2009, and in that same year, a re-upload on YouTube with English subtitles would be released. The video was a big hit, and many particularly liked the song's cover art.

Fannish History

Bases such as Magnet Base by MyBases would be released soon after the song's success, and the cover art has been parodied since. Many early examples for this meme were done with original characters more than ones from media. As of 2024, it is still being parodied by fans due to the shippy nature of the kiss and nostalgia.
