D Billions (stylized as D BILLIONS) is a Kyrgyz Children's Music group known for their educational YouTube videos. The group was formed in July 27, 2019 with Asko Anarkulove,.[1] Sarry Shka[2] and Janybek Jenishbekov[3] as "Cha-Cha," "Chicky" and "Boom" respectively. Darina Vekua[4] would later join the group as "Lya-Lya" on June 4, 2020.
Their popularity on YouTube has also notably given rise to multiple knockoff channels, including MiBiTopS,[5] Nick and Poli,[6] and Kids Funny Songs.[7]
History[edit]
2019-2020: Origins[edit]
Their YouTube channel was created on July 27, 2019, though it would be a couple weeks before the group published their first music video "Left! Right!," which teaches children about cardinal directions.[8] This was also when the founding members adopted color-coded outfits: blue and yellow for Anarkulove, yellow and red for Shka, and red and blue for Jenishbekov.
The group would later release "Swimming Song," their first real life music video on August 14, 2019, featuring Shka sporting a rainbow-colored wig to match the blue and salmon-colored wigs worn by Anarkulove and Jenishbekov respectively.[9] It wouldn't be until they released their Christmas song "Boom! Boom! Boom!" on December 15, 2020 that Shka and Jenishbekov would start sporting blonde and red-colored wigs[10]
The group published their most-viewed video "Shake, shake your body! Clap, Clap, Cha Cha Cha! on January 12, 2020.[11] It is also the 21st most-disliked YouTube Video with over 4.485 million dislikes at the time when Youtube removed dislike numbers from public view.
2020-2021: Expanded lineup and virality[edit]
The group was expanded on June 4, 2020 with the introduction of Darina Vekua for the song "Mask Doo Doo Doo!," which teaches children about proper mask-wearing during the COVID-19 Pandemic.[12] Vekua sported a pink wig like the remaining members, albeit braided into pigtails, alongside a blue shirt with pink stripes, yellow shirt and zebra-striped leggings with rainbow-striped segments.
On September 6, 2020, the group started producing their music videos in Spanish[13] and Russian.[14] While the group never used voice actors for the Spanish and Russian dubs, certain music videos were re-recorded. This was most notable in their "123 song," where Shka and Jenishbekov would sport their yellow and red wigs in the dub instead of going wigless or wearing a salmon-colored wig respectively.[15]
The group would later become viral on TikTok with their song "My Name Is,"[16] which was published to YouTube on November 20, 2020.[17] The song would establish the names of their characters: Chicky (Shka), Cha-Cha (Anarkulove), Boom (Jenishbekov) and Lya-Lya (Vekua).
2022-Present: Adding new languages, vlog channel[edit]
On February 24, 2022, the group would establish a new channel dedicated to vlog-style videos.[18] The videos would depict the group's various adventures and activities, such as cooking and playing board games, in Russian with a separate channel for the English dub.[19]
On September 9, 2022, the group started producing dubbed versions of their music videos in French and Arabic, marking the first time voice actors were used to dub their songs in other languages.[20] Their dubbed offerings expanded with the introduction of "D Billions Indonesia" on September 18, 2022,[21] "D Billions Kyrzg" on September 26, 2022[22] and "D Billions Portugues" on October 3, 2022.[23]
Members[edit]
Cha-Cha[edit]
Cha-Cha (portrayed by Asko Anarkulove) is the smart, funny member of the group. His signature color is blue, evidenced by his blue hair and overalls (which he wears with both straps down), and his secondary color is yellow, evidenced by his yellow shirt and bandana.
His name originates from the song "Shake, shake your body! Clap, Clap, Cha Cha Cha!," which prominently features Anarkulove dancing while holding up to 6 balloons to teach viewers how to count. This would later become his signature dance and catchphrase.
Chicky[edit]
Chicky (portrayed by Sarry Shka) is the fast, playful member, known for running incredibly fast and dancing like a chicken. His signature color is yellow, evidenced by his blonde hair (previously rainbow in "Swimming Song," or black when a green screen is used) and yellow overalls (with the right strap usually down), and his secondary color is red, evidenced by his red shirt and red bandana.
