↑# - the song moved up from a previous top 30 rank
↓# - song moved down from a previous top 30 rank

I'll be including the weekly top ten and the overall top thirty of the week. Links to the nicovideo are included as well as some information. You may download the .mp3 file by inputting the link @ nicosound. Enjoy!

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 「天樂」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• Tengaku [Guriri]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by YuuyuP
• One of the better female renditions of this song that I've heard. It does sound like she's overexerting herself in some parts, though ;;;.

o2. 【重音テト】テトでブラック★ロックシューターつくってみた【MMD】
• Black Rock Shooter (Kasane Teto Edition) [Oyamano Mano]
• Hatsune Miku original by ryo
• 10-10-10 was Kasane Teto day, according to Nico Nico Douga and the Vocaloid-dom was busy uploading songs to commemorate the day. This is a unique one since it's a cover of Black Rock Shooter Teto version by the Oyamano Mano. Mano is the source of Teto's voicebank.

o3. 【シャノ】「君の手、僕の手」を歌ってみたよ
• Kimi no te, Boku no te [Chano]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP

• Starduster [Chomo feat. Kogeinu]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Jimmythumb
• Quite a nice cover by Chomo, who I do not know at all ;_;. Koge's manly voice does a pretty good job of making me OAO at the choruses.

o6. ハロ／ハワユ　歌ってみた　*リツカ*
• Hello / How Are You [Ritsuka]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by HoehoeP
• Ritsuka sounds cute as usual, although not as cute as the hit cover by Kano. Somehow, she reminds me of Wotamin here.

o7. 【ぎらり】ロゼッタ、歌ってみた【秋赤音】
• Rozetta [Aki Akane]
• singer's mylist
• GUMI original by monaca:factory
• Somehow, I didn't think this would be a song fitting for Akane's voice, but I guess it's okay?

o8. 【歌ってみた】檸檬【鹿乃】
• Remon [Kano]
• singer's mylist
• GUMI original by Faye x Junky
• Kano is back with another cute song.

o9. 『Calc.』を歌わせて頂きました。【灯油】

1o. 【tane】『ぼくらの16bit戦争』歌ってみた【ZERO】
• Bokura no 16-bit Sensou [tane x Zero]
• mylists tane; Zero
• GUMI original by Sasakure.UK
• GAH I love this. This duo's serifu taimu really works well.

( Overall Weekly Ranking under the cut )

There are a lot of new songs this week with a couple of mysterious pull ups from nowhere, but that's fine. Quite a lot of Calc., Rinne and Matryoshka covers but not as many as before. This is a pretty interesting ranking if you're looking for variety. Also, it seems that two people have celebrated their utaite anniversary this week :).

↑# - the song moved up from a previous top 30 rank
↓# - song moved down from a previous top 30 rank
↵ - song is a re-entry to the top 30 rankings

I'll be including the weekly top ten and the overall top thirty of the week. Links to the nicovideo are included as well as some information. You may download the .mp3 file by inputting the link @ nicosound. Enjoy!

o1. 『グリグリメガネと月光蟲』　たぶん自分が歌ってみた。
• Guri Guri Megane to Gekkochuu [Tabun Jibun]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by FullkawaP
• I honestly think that Tabun Jibun's voice fits this type of songs best.

o2. 【のぶなが】グリーンストレート うたってみた
• Green Straight [Nobunaga]
• singer's mylist
• GUMI original by LiveP
• Nobunaga's really on a roll these months.

o3. 【ノワール】ラストソング【歌ってみた】
• Last Song [Nowaru]
• singer's mylist
• Megurine Luka original by fatmanP
• It's no secret that I love Nowaru's covers and I think she needs to do more. This one is just a little too autotuned for my taste, but still nice.

o4. 【三周年】裏切りの夕焼けを歌ってみた / 湯毛
• [3rd Anniversary] Uragiri no Yuuyake [Yuge]
• singer's mylist
• original song from Durarara
• Happy anniversary!!

o5. 【らっぷびと】裏表ラバーズ【改めふつうびと】
• Ura Omote Lovers [Rapbit]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by wowaka
• Despite the fact that too many people has covered this already, I think Rapbit did a good job of doing this in his own flavor.

o6. 【歌姫4人と】海を渡った征服者達を歌姫達と歌ってみたZ【クロガネZ】
• Umi wo Watatta Seifukusha-tachi [collaboration]
• original song by Sound Horizon
• The group is composed of Muutan, Samaru, Chawa and Yajima.

• We're treated once more to Yuu's unique vocals.

o9. ヨルノソコ　ver.Chibita
• Yoru no Soko [Chibita]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by gomezP
• Chibita's getting better at covering quiet songs. This is a really nice cover.

1o. 【佳仙ver.】Blindness【歌ってみました(*´ω｀*)ｂ】
• Blindness [Keisen]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by Treow
• Keisen's thin voice controlled the high parts well and she doesn't sound as over-reaching as her other works. It's a really pretty cover but not as good as F9's or Yoru's.

( Overall Weekly Ranking under the cut )

This ranking might surprise you a bit since there are a lot of returnees (familiar ones!), extreme movement within the ranks, an original song, and an utaite who shows her face and shows off her singing/playing prowess :). Enjoy!

PS: I really love the top 3 <33.

( Overall Weekly Ranking under the cut )

Sorry for the late updates. I'm having so much fun in the "introduce yourself post" I kind of got lazy with the spotlights and updates, all of which I'm doing now! Also I'm trying to get a couple of friends into the fandom (again) and I'm still thinking of how to go about it. I suck at writing intro posts seriously XDD;.

Anyway, updates!

• It seems that there is a planned novelization of mothy's Aku no Musume/Meshitsukai series. There are no details released yet but here is some more info in Fujyoshinews (in Japanese), though.

• If you enjoyed the Utattemoratta CD 1 (theme: ikemen voices), you'll definitely love Utattemoratta CD 2 (theme: gender-defying voices). This is going to be released August 27 (clear's birthday lol) and will include Hitori, che:sakurai, vip-tenchou, Kogeinu and Lon. It's kind of stingy there are only two people in the cover though ;;.

• As I said in twitter, clear should take lessons on "how to pose for a CD cover" from Piko, who is to release his debut album. Limited edition has a DVD, too! Pretty face is pretty, I'm ashamed to be female, etc. While you're ordering why not order Irregular Voices by Ouzoku Band (y'know, the one with Tissue hime) feat. Sekihan, too XD. This was released last month so it's a bit older.

• G.W. Nicolai website is updated with some info, art and demo of the seven singles they're releasing. Remember the ones having singles are ASK, Gero, Nodoame (lol lollipop art), Pokota, Yuge, Kogeinu and Makomakkou. You can view the crossfade demo in the "special" part of the site. And the tracklist at the "product" part. Here's a translation of what they are going to sing:

Gero: Kutabare PTA (NashimotoP) and From Y to Y (Jimmythumb)
ASK: Eh? Aa, Sou (papiyon) and d's (Kudou Yasumoto)
Kogeinu: Kusari no Shoujo (NoboruP) and Shinryoku no Kaze (Studio IMO)
Yuge: Dancing Samurai (mathru) and Neta Kiri Goukin Depenza (Don McCow/MML)
Pokota: Scissorhands (Nem) and Kuro no Kata Tsubasa (Studio IMO)
Nodoame: Migikata no Chou -Len ver.- (Noripy) and Spider Kiss (Ritsu Inoue)
Makomakkou: Spice! (minato) and Heaven's Door (Don McCow)

Some of them aren't Vocaloid songs :). At the moment, there is no way to buy the CDs aside from the shop but it might be available in Animate and other sites soon :).

• Usa Colony 4 has its site up with MP3 previews of the tracklist. It also has a crossfade demo in Nicovideo here. This will be released August 14, 2010 at Comiket.

• That kind of epic collab CD in a graceful sound has released a crossfade demo here. Remember this CD involves collaborations with producers 40mP, FullkawaP, Scop, ←P, KuwagataP and kous; and singers Tourai, Tabun Jibun, Erusi, Rumdarjun, Usa and F9.

• For those interested in BL games, "Nessa no Rakuen" has an OP teaser here (SLIgHTLY NSFW AND BL OF COURSE!) You might remember Dasoku is singing the opening song. Get your tissues ready.

• In case you missed it the first time I posted it, here is another page of the Utattemoratta 1 (clear, ASK, Dasoku, Pokota, Kettaro) CD interview. This one contains voice messages as well as handwritten ones (holy crap ASK's message D:).

• Before we get to the crazy part, have some random dancing by Pokota which is the reason why my brain broke last night.

• Now for the crazy part. Nico Nico Douga is actually holding an end-of-summer fest which involves a 27-hour marathon of guests from 18:00 TODAY up to 20:40 of the next day (Sunday). There is a list of guests here and they will only appear at certain times. In order to watch, just click the view tab in the site and you'll be seeing few ustream channels. The guests are singers, musicians, producers and gamers. I translated some of the guests' names (only the ones relevant to this comm) and the time they will appear under the cut. All of the time is in JPN time so please convert to your timezone~.

( time table )

And that ends our update XD. I'll squeeze in some of the news later if something comes up~!

• There's a news in nico nico douga regarding multiple accounts with the same IP address.

• Asamakku (Asamaru and Jack) has issued some new rules for members of their community, rooting from the HIGH STREAM housou Asamaru guested in. I think Asamaru was a bit uncomfortable during that housou because of his fans spamming the chatbox, so they are asking their fans for some things when listening to them in a non-Asamakku live. These include:
- not calling them by their pet names if possible (Marutan, Jack-tan, Maruko, Asako, Jakko, etc.);
- not spamming about Asamakku as a unit when only one is guesting and the housou is not related to Asamakku;
- not spamming with too much emoticons (you know those scrolling shooting stars, etc.);
- not mentioning inside jokes and info only known in the community;
- not chatting with other members with trivial stuff not related to the housou;
- not mentioning anything trivial which is not related to the convo (e.g., I'm sleeping, I'm eating, etc.).
I think this generally means being more formal when listening to Asamaru and Jack in a housou outside the Asamakku community. Since HIGH STREAM is a more...formal housou, with musicians who do not know the inside works of Asamakku and its family, it must've been a bit uncomfy seeing the spam.

• The production of the album in a graceful sound is already in the works. This is a CD with original songs written by Vocaloid composers and sung by Nico utaite. The mentioned collabs are:
- FullkawaP x Tabun Jibun
- 40mP x Tourai
- KuwagataP x Usa
- kous x F9
- ←P x Rumdarjun
- scop x Erusi
It will be released August 14, 2010 and will be sold for 1000 yen

• You can now order the MGS Utattemita CD ~Starry Sky~ in Amazon, instead of doing it the roundabout way in toranoana :). Kudos to hatsudai-san and the people involved for making it possible.




notes: Thanks to southerncross for the heads up re: asamakku :)
