Ofurotaimu News Pool (March 2011)

[fascinates]

As always, this is a post where everyone, even those with OPEN ID accounts and even those who are Anon, can post Vocaloid and utattemita-related news that they read in the web, heard through the grapevine, etc. This post will be open the whole month and people can freely comment with news and info they gathered. By the end of the month, the post will be closed and news of stuff which haven't happened yet (for example, CD releases in the past month, etc.) will be transferred to another post for the following month.

The old news post is here

Just some rules to make the post orderly.
• make sure the news item you share hasn't been shared yet in any of the comments;
• make sure that you are reporting something that hasn't happened yet ^^;
• post the news as a parent thread, not as a comment to another comment;
• write a blurb on the title on what the news is about so it'd be easy to find;

e.g.; [Utattemita] Mi-chan releasing a single in Vocaloid Master (11-14-10)

• write the date! And source, like an official website or nicovideo link if possible; and
• feel free to comment on the news post or fangirl, since all comments under the parent comment (the one with the news) will be considered fannish stuff.


Under the cut are the remnants of last month's news pools.

Weekly Utaran 100th Ranking Commemorative Book

[fascinates]

You can now buy a copy of the Weekly Utattemita 100th Ranking Commemorative Book here. It is not a hard copy, but rather a .pdf file. This book is 116 pages long and documents all of the previous Utattemita Rankings from 1-100. The documentation includes the title of the song, the nicovideo link to it, the number of views + mylist + comments of the video at the time of the ranking and the singers of each songs. There is also an explanation at the start how the utattemita ranking works, how it's done and processed, etc.

Of course, the whole book is in Japanese, but it is useful for those who are interested in how the ranking is made and computed. Also, it is nice knowing which singers were popular at the time of each ranking (Trust me, the popular singers in each ranking "era" change drastically. You can see total differences from utaran 1 - 100).

The site is in English, but it is mostly a hentai manga/doujinshi store so please view the rest of the site at your own risk. In order to buy the book, you have to use your credit card (by registering at the site). Don't worry, you can delete your account as well as all of your info in the site afterwards. You can also buy without registering but by using Jpoints, which is like "webmoney" in NND. There is a thorough information about the payment in the site here.

If you need any more help, just reply here or contact me :).
