Weekly Vocaloid Ranking # 221 (December 19-26, 2011)

Yesterday was Kagamine Rin and Len's birthday! But the Kagamine wave still hasn't reached this week's ranking (too late D:) so we'll have to wait next week for that, hopefully. However, this ranking is pretty special in a way because you get to hear awesome first songs from THREE new Vocaloids. That would be CUL, Yuzuki Yukari, and IA ~Aria on the Planetes~. I'm surprised at how wonderful they all sound, not to mention they were tuned and their songs composed by really veteran/popular producers, so I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did. Aside from that, we have a few strong songs from last week as well as new stuff from popular sings (longtimenoseedoriko!) so this is pretty much a ranking that won't bore you at all. Enjoy!

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking # 204 (August 22-28, 2011)

Posted by: fascinates

Since I'm on vacation today, I'm posting the Vocaran while we wait for Utaran :D. I looooooove this week so much because there are a lot of new, amazing releases from famous producers and new ones that have so much potential (I swear, I will stop using 'so much' so much). Because of the awesome new stuff, there are only a few left from last week's ranking, some of them pulled down as a consequence. Still, there are some surprising returns (Matryoshka, what!) and rises. I hope this week will also be an interesting listen for you guys, too, so let's get started.

This week has a lot of new songs (and a lot of returners!) and is interesting because there are actually many producers in the ranking which you probably haven't seen before XD;. This ranking is worth your listen, I guarantee it, so let's get to it!

As always, thank you so much to Iori-san for adopting the ranking and taking the time to upload! Let's also hope that sippotan and his house/family are safe and are near recovery! That said, let's go on with the ranking.

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #179 (February 28 - March 07, 2011)

Not that many new songs this week and most of the rankings are just movements of those from the previous ranking. However, I hope you won't skip this one because despite the few new stuff, most of the songs are from Ps you don't hear from often or you might have never even heard of before.

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #178 (February 21 - 28, 2011)

Today's week has a lot of movements, few songs have decided to do a comeback and take one rank up at a time, while a lot more had decided it's time for them to zoom down. Which leaves us with new songs in the upper rankings, all of them worth checking out! I apologize for the lack of good descriptions, as I'm running out of time ^^;.

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #175 (January 31-February 7, 2011)

This week's ranking doesn't have as many new stuff as before, but the few new ones are all awesome. At the same time, there's quite a lot of movement among the old songs (and a few familiar ones are rising again...). Pardon the lack of intelligent comments (I'm mostly spazzing, it's unforgivable). It's 1AM LOL.

Vocaloid Midyear Special Ranking 2010 2nd Part (Hatsune Miku compilation)

Sun, 23 Jan 2011 12:34:49 GMT

Posted by: fascinates

As you might remember, I posted the midyear special ranking sometime in July, where the songs included were those uploaded from December 2009 to June 2010. This is the LATTER PART of that ranking, where the top songs from June 15 to December 14, 2010 are uploaded.

The video has 80 songs, but the mylist has 200 songs O_O;. A-anyway, I've included them all in the list. As with the previous mid-year ranking and all the other rankings which aren't weekly, this is written in reverse for more suspense :D.

Since all of them are Miku songs, I'll just type the song, composer and additional Vocaloids used if there are any :).

nicovideo link 1
nicovideo link 2

( list under the cut! )

The last few are so predictable XD;. Anyway, I'll be doing the rest of the rankings, too (how many more to go? D: ) so please wait for them! /o/

...The tags...I...will do them later orz.

This week's ranking only has a few new songs, but they're all wonderful. Most of the songs in the ranking are just movements from the previous week but there's a couple of surprising re-entries. Also, some of the songs in the higher ranks are from new and/or underappreciated producers so please look through them! :)

There are a lot of MMDs this week because of the upcoming MMD 5th cup, which I learned from singing_robots. Aside from the MMD ones, there are quite few new uploads but that doesn't mean this ranking lacks awesome stuff. There's a couple of keeps in the rank, a lot of movement and some returners, all of them pulled up by either covers or new uploads from the same producer.

Vocaloid Midyear Special Ranking 2010 (Hatsune Miku compilation)

Sun, 18 Jul 2010 13:48:16 GMT

Posted by: fascinates

This is my first time actually waiting for and transcribing the midyear Vocaloid Ranking, so I'm a bit excited despite the work before me XD.

This ranking considered Hatsune Miku songs uploaded from 12AM of December 15, 2009 up 11:59PM of June 14, 2010. The formula of computing for the ranks is not included in the blurb, but I think it's almost the same as the weekly Vocaloid ranking formula. The video included the top 80 songs, but the mylist link has 478 songs OTL. There's no way I CAN type up all of them so I'll just include here the top 100. There's still the Kagamine, KAITO, Luka and GUMI rankings, so please look forward to them :). Please take this as an opportunity to listen to Hatsune Miku songs considered as the best this half of 2010 :).

So far, this and the annual rankings are the only ones I type in reverse order (from 100-1) so that it'd be more exciting :). If you want me to do the midyear/annual rankings in the traditional way (the 1-xx order), just tell me :).

nicovideo link part 1

( 100 to 1 under the cut. )

I have a feeling that I don't want to tag this....

I like a lot of songs from this ranking. While there are some classics returning, it didn't offset the number of new uploads compared to the last two rankings. The list is pretty impressive, I'm sure no one will be disappointed :).

Producer Thursday: Papiyon/蝶々Ｐ

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 14:09:02 GMT

Posted by: fascinates

papiyon/蝶々Ｐ (chouchoP)

mylist | blog | community | muzie.co.jp |

I prefer calling ChouchoP 'papiyon' so as not to confuse them with the singer Choucho. Papiyon is a producer who started uploading songs in 2008, and is moderately active with eleven songs released from 12/2008 up to the present. Their music is hard to identify, but it's mostly upbeat pop with a slice of alternative (guitars, drums, etc.). Their earlier songs remind me of anime songs during the 1990s. You know, those types Garnet Crow, Aucifer, WANDS, etc. sing? Later on, though, they started making more provocative songs bordering on technopop with extensive use of keyboards and repetitive beats. In their most recent upload using Miku Append however, they presented a wonderful ballad reminiscent of the older releases (more drums, etc.).

You might know papiyon as the producer behind the bandwagon hit "Eh? Aa, Sou." XD Papiyon exclusively uses Miku as their vocaloid, with Miku Append later on. Their earlier Miku is lower-pitched and slow. Later on, probably starting with the song "Love Attack Transfer," Miku slowly becomes higher-pitched. I think it's also to adjust to the gradual changes in papiyon's music style.

sample songs
• Shooting Star
• Message
• Love Atomic Transfer
• Senaka Awase no Boku to Kimi
• Dendrobium Phalaenopsis (Miku Append)

I first heard of papiyon when they released Love Atomic Transfer and I got hooked on it. The next time I heard the name was in Senaka Awase no Boku to Kimi, which is also very pretty. I do not like all of papiyon's songs, but they make the most interesting melodies. I cannot find a common beat or melody in their works so it's fun listening to them. But what I like best in papiyon's music is the wonderful piano/keyboard music in ALL of their works. The playing is always elaborate at the middle and is very pleasant to listen to, whether it's a technopop, alternative or ballad-based song.

While I posted the Weekly Utaran late, I'm posting this a little early, since I cannot be online for long hours. I am really sorry about this. Anyway, this week's ranking is a lot more coherent compared to the previous, although there are still some stray old stuff returning here and there. Wowaka's bandwagon trinity is also back XD;. But don't worry, there are a lot of lovely songs uploaded this week, plus GUMI's redeemed from last week's confusion.

This week's ranking is unbelievably screwed up for some reason. I don't know if it's because of some new releases, celebrations, or some sort of evil master plan. I was expecting a lot of GUMI in this ranking but it seems I've been disappointed :(. More thoughts below!

Anyway, those with blue arrows are the old songs. I'm wrote this while I was watching JPN vs PAR football so if there are any mistakesI overlooked, I'm so sorry D:.
