When Koi No Maiahi became popular, the Japanese entertainement company Avex Inc. asked the creator to make an official version to sell as a music video. This version of the video replaced the AA characters with generic off-brand versions, though nobody noticed or cared at first.
Avex Inc. later announced that they would sell merchandise of “Nomaneko” (のまネコ) meaning "Drinking Cat", and they tried to apply a trademark for the character. 2ch users saw this as plagirism, and were disgusted that someone would try to rip off of Mona to create a marketable character. Some were so angry that they made death threats! Avex Inc. eventually dropped the trademark application in response to this outrage, but they still sell merch of the character.
