The quartet's Twitter page is [[https://twitter.com/thebluehamham?lang=en here]], and their [=YouTube=] page [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw3PQjMe2Xjhs9fBBAhchkg here]].
!!The shorts contain examples of:
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: They are a group of blue hamsters.
* ArtEvolution: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5gz5jMpUos Their eyes were a lot smaller and they looked more hamster-shaped back then.]] Then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOu_xXWPdJk their eyes got bigger and more expressive while their bodies became more blobby and squishy.]]
* TheDividual: All four of them are exactly identical in appearance and disposition that differentiating them would be pointless. Except for the one with the CoolShades.
* GratuitousEnglish: Not in the shorts themselves (unless you count the songs), but with the titles with part of said titles being rendered in Japanese but the other part is in English.
* IntelligibleUnintelligible: The comics from the group's official Twitter show that the hamsters even ''[[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZwF9XwUEAAgf2f?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 speak]]'' in music, as their dialogue is rendered in musical notation. However, the other hamsters understand each other just fine.
* MadeOfIron: Occasionally a hamster can get roughed up during their performances or even SquashedFlat, but they always bounce back and resume their roles no worse for wear.
* NeverBareheaded: The four hamsters always each have a set of headphones. It's implied the music they perform is played through them.
* TheNoseless: The hamsters also appear to not have noses. But given they're from space, it's justified.
* PerpetualExpression: Their expressions don't convey much beyond a bit of surprise and some shock here and there. Even more so with the one with the shades.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The hamsters themselves. Awww.
* SourceMusic: The premise of the animations: While the music playing is already established as a real song that's already famous in RealLife, the animations make it look like the hamsters are covering the songs themselves. Even the vocals, as it's implied the hamsters are all {{Voice Changeling}}s.
* SunglassesAtNight: One of the hamsters has a set of CoolShades they never take off.
