Nico Nico 
Section titled “Nico Nico ”Music Assistant has support for Nico Nico Video, a Japanese video-sharing website similar to YouTube, famous for its on-screen scrolling comments that overlay the video. Contributed and maintained by 柴田 Shi-553
Much of what is on Nico Nico is uploaded by its own community, so it holds a lot of original songs, remixes and Vocaloid work that never reaches the larger streaming services.
This source lets you search that catalogue and play the audio through Music Assistant. Sign in and the Mylists you have made and the artists you follow come across as well.
