The phrase in this clip is a common Japanese expression for looking back fondly on the past, roughly translated as ah, how nostalgic. Short reaction sounds like this circulate widely on soundboards and in short-form video, where a single spoken line can set the mood faster than a caption. Because the line is brief and emotionally clear even without understanding every word, creators reuse it for throwbacks, reunions and rediscovered memories, and its popularity has grown through repeated use in edits rather than through one famous scene.
