Rickrolling began as an internet prank in the mid 2000s, when users were tricked into opening Rick Astley's 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up instead of the content they expected. Inugami Korone, a dog themed VTuber from Hololive who debuted in 2019, became known for long cheerful streams, retro games and spontaneous singing. Her version merges two online cultures, VTuber fandom and classic meme pranks, which is why it keeps circulating in edits, Discord servers and stream highlights long after the original joke.

Inugami Korone rickroll sound effect of the Hololive VTuber singing Never Gonna Give You Up, used for playful bait and switch meme edits and streams.
This clip features Hololive VTuber Inugami Korone performing a rickroll, singing the chorus of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up in her cheerful, high pitched voice. The familiar melody arrives unexpectedly, turning a classic internet bait and switch into something cute and disarming. Korone's energetic delivery and slight accent make the prank feel affectionate rather than mean, and the short runtime keeps the joke instant. Listeners recognise the song within a second, then register who is singing it, which creates a double payoff of nostalgia and VTuber fandom in one quick hit.
