IBAChandler uploaded his first challenge video on 31 July 2009. As said in the announcement video, his first song was the ending version of "Sonic Boom" from Sonic CD. In the opening seconds, IBAChandler puts down his webcam, displays the Sonic CD, fiddles with his medallion, dramatically removes his glasses and sweeps back his hair. IBAChandler's singing is out of tune and mistimed. He stumbles and even mispronounces words. The video closes with IBAChandler dramatically pointing at the camera and addressing CChanSonichuCWC directly, telling him it's his play.
