Random Meet is an American music web series created by AJ Pinkerton and Peter Srinivasan. The first short official series, "A Pikachu Song", aired on YouTube on June 7, 2011. Since its launch, the series has partnered with Disney Digital Network, Maker Studios, and at one point IGN Entertainment.
Each short section consists of original music numbers (often performed by live action actors in cosplay) creating scenes or starring characters from popular video game series (such as The Legend of Zelda or Pokémon ). The series was first inspired in 2010 when the musical parody of Sonic the Hedgehog from the creators won the grand prize in an international video competition organized by Sega.
Since launching their YouTube series, Random Encounters has traveled to festivals and conventions for live shows.

Histori
"Random Encounters" was originally composed during the Sega-sponsored contest, which Pinkerton co-developed the winning entries and the first video game parody song, "Needlemouse: The Musical". The Needlemouse song was asked by Sega to appear live on their 2011 Sonic Boom community event, where Pinkerton and Srinivasan first recognized the demand for their product and began developing on a series of popular games as music numbers.

Style
Random meetings consistently serve children and adults. Songs are often written to cleverly censored themselves, such as ignoring rhyming schemes or sound effects of time to avoid profanity. Shorts based on adult content, such as Assassin's Creed, Five Nights at Freddy's and Dead Space, typically feature lightweight versions of characters, rather than incarnations in cooler games.
The musical styles for each short vary, but often consist of a very bouncy rhythm and an optimistic tempo. Some songs borrow heavily from other sources, such as Disney numbers or in-game themes. The series gets a lot of humor from every song lyric, which often refers to an in-game event, pop culture or internet meme.
After "Needlemouse: The Musical" won the highest award in their Sonic Birthday contest, Sega arranged for the Random Encounters team to perform an alternate version of Sonic Boom 2011, this time highlighting Sonic Sonic/Classic Sonic chemistry from Sonic Generations. Nine months later, Random Encounters co-produced the music game trailer for the fictitious title "Sega Bass Fishing of the Dead" as part of the online Sega April Fools joke. Sega approached the Random Encounters team for the third time with the release of Rhythm Thief & amp; The Emperor's Treasure, which became the focus of the first sponsored Encounter.
In August 2012, Random Facebook Facebook page confirmed their involvement with Sega on Super Monkey Ball video.
Sega collaborated again with Random Encounters on music promoting the Sonic Boom franchise when the live action music upload channel in late 2014.
Nintendo
In 2013, Random Encounters joined the Nintendo Ambassador program as part of the Wii U Challenge. Their first project as a brand ambassador, for Challenges, was the music promotion of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD.
In June 2014, Nintendo sent Random Encounters to E3, along with Black Nerd Comedy, Lamarr Wilson, and Smosh Games. To help promote the title of Nintendo, Random Encounters produced a short musical starring Wario, which included Charles Martinet's surprise cameo in the end.
Nintendo teamed up with RE again in 2015 for the launch of their new franchise, Splatoon, by helping organize a multi-cam play tournament and invite AJ to compete in their Messes obstacle hurdles promoting the game at the Santa Monica Pier.
Disney XD
In August 2015, Variety.com posted an online article linking Random Meeting to the Disney XD initiative labeled "Disney XD by Maker." The crossover is rumored to be trying to "discover and develop video concepts for distribution on YouTube, as well as potentially DisneyXD.com and Watch Disney XD apps." It was later reported by Random Encounters that Disney XD by Maker will fund Resident Enis 2: Gulch Monster, which was released early February 2016 "
