ダブルラリアット (Double Lariat)

==Background==
"Double Lariat" is an original song by Agoaniki-P. It was uploaded to piapro on February 12, 2009, and to YouTube on October 24, 2009.
In this pop rock and jangle pop song, Luka talks about how they continue spinning around endlessly without stopping. Despite the fact that her friends are farther reaching and better at spinning, she persists in trying to increase their reach, starting from 85 cm to 250 cm and then reaching 5200 cm, at which point she starts flying. Finally, with a reach of 6300 km in radius and tilted at 23.4 degrees, Luka looks down and sees a colorful scene that she didn't notice before. She finally asks to be accompanied if they someday tire of spinning.
A possible interpretation of this song is that the singer is the Earth itself; its radius is approximately 6300 km and its axial tilt is 23.4 degrees.
Another interpretation of the song is persistence, that one should chin up, never look back and never give up. Continue doing what you do and, in that way, extend your reach not only in one of your favorites, but throughout the world and the universe.
This song has entered the Hall of Legend and exceeded over 10 million YouTube views. Hence, this Agoaniki-P's most notable song, one of Luka's most notable songs, and Luka's most viewed song to date.
"Double Lariat" was released as a single by KarenT on November 4, 2009.

|-|Approved English lyrics=
An 85 cm radius is the length of my reach
I'm about to start swinging so please stand clear
Just spinning was fun enough I could've gone on forever
But I spun so long I forgot how to stop
Everyone else spun better than me
Oh well, I sighed and pretended not to care
A 250 cm radius is the length of my reach
I'm about to start moving so please stand clear
Spinning my wheels was fun enough I could've gone on forever
I thought that if I just spun on and on it would all pay off
But everyone else spun higher than me
So I gazed up from below and pretended my neck hurt
A 5200 cm radius is the length of my reach
I'm about to take off so please stand clear
What do you think? Would my former self like what I've become?
Despite my eyes spinning and my axis wobbling
Before I knew it, I saw the streets at a 24.3 degree angle
Turn a color I'd never seen
A 6300 km radius is the length of my reach
I think I can do it now so please stand clear
An 85 cm radius is the length of my reach
If I ever tire of spinning please stand by my side

==Trivia== 
*The trait that makes this video so special is that Luka doesn't stop spinning even when the video is paused. This is possible because the video is in .swf file format, in other words a Flash Animation instead of a Flash Video. This also makes possible the addition of some easter eggs mentioned below.
**Since April 9, 2018, all the Easter Eggs (see the notes below) are no longer available, and Luka no longer spins when the video is paused on the original Nico Nico Douga upload of the song, whether the song is viewed in either HTML5 or the old Flash player.
***This is mainly due to Nico Nico Douga re-encoding every flash animation uploaded to their website, in order to be more mobile and HTML5 friendly since Adobe Flash is due to be depreciated entirely around 2020.
*The Lariat is a professional wrestling move where the fighter wraps his/her arm around the opponent's upper chest and neck and then forces them to the ground. Two Capcom characters ( and ) uses a variant of this move where they stretch their arms out horizontally, clench their fists, and then simply spins in an effort to hit the opponent. It is not known whether or not the song's title comes from this move.
** Both characters also makes a small cameo in the video.
*The song also features KAITO, Miku, MEIKO, Rin, Gackpo, and Len. They appear only at the right time when the video is paused at a certain scene. Each Vocaloid does a small action as an Easter Egg.
**0:45 - KAITO comes in eating ice cream while at the same time Mike Haggar is performing the Double Lariat. As KAITO goes on near him, he gets sent flying into the Sky when he gets punched.
**1:06 - Miku passes by while playing an electric guitar.
**1:42 - MEIKO comes in after Luka starts spinning around the area. As Luka continues spinning, Zangief appears spins towards the sky, and MEIKO smacks him unconscious with her bottle of Sake, lands and drags him away.
**1:57 - Rin passes through the screen using her bow as a helicopter.
**2:20 - When Luka floats in the sky, Rin passes through the screen again.
**2:48 - When the street is shown with Gackpo appears riding in an Eggplant Motorcycle. A moment later, Len appears in his underwear dancing around in middle of the street.
**3:11 - In the final chorus, if one waits a bit Rin, Len and Miku will appear along with Luka while in the background appear Gackpo riding his Eggplant Motorcycle and KAITO carrying a drunk MEIKO on his back.
*When the Good Smile company's Luka Nendoroid was released, it included a Double Lariat-based face along her neutral face, and her singing face.Nendoroid Megurine Luka by Goodsmile - Osasaki's Place
