Weekly Vocaran #174 (01/24-01/31, 2011)

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #174 (January 24-31, 2011)

I'm a bit late (by hours?) with this week's writeup, since I'm busy finishing some stuff for this month XD;. Anyway, this week has a lot of remnants of the previous rankings, but there are a few new songs worth a listen. Most of the old songs are at the bottom of the ranking, so it's apparent that the new songs are also top-notch. Super old regulars also showed some strength this week, either returning or not slipping away (yes, this includes daniwellP's nyanya song which is still stuck in my head XD).

I have a mod announcement coming up a bit later, so please wait for that, too!

↑# - 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

Songs are arranged from 1-30.


01. Panda Hero (GUMI) - hachi
- keep. damn XD.

02. Kagefumi Etranger (Hatsune Miku) - Substreet
- Title translates to "Shadow Tag Stranger". I fell in love at first sight (hearing??) of this song. The beat is fast with a shadow of creepiness (with the guitars and PV). Guitar melody is really nice and despite the abundance of rock songs in Vocaloid, this one doesn't sound commonplace. The frontward drums also sound nice.

03. 6900000000 (Hatsune Miku) - (∵)KyotonP and HAMO
- ↑17

04. Strobolast (Hatsune Miku) - PowapowaP
- keep

05. Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya! (Hatsune Miku) - daniwellP
- ↓02

06. Roshin Yuukai -melt down- Junk Arrange (Kagamine Rin) - Rerulili, iroha original
- This is an arrangement of the iroha classic, with jazzier beats. Very lovely! You might want to check out covers of this arrange, too, done by that and maria.

07. Lovelessxxx (VanaN'Ice) - natsuP
- ↓03 The PV is so pretty.

08. Originality (Hatsune Miku) - Satsuki ga Tenkomouri
- ↑11

09. Suki Kirai (Kagamine Rin and Len) - HoneyWorks
- ↓05 Title translates to "Love, Hate".

10. (Hatsune Miku x Sekka Yufu) - Shimesaba Twisters
- A gentle melody with dexterous tuning that the UTAU and Vocaloid sounds so well together.

11. Goodbye Today (Kagamine Rin) - LiveP
- After LiveP's gentle songs, he goes back to give us his exclusive brand of Rin poprock, with rough guitar melodies, very subtle drums and catchy chorus.

12. Kami Kyoku (Hatsune Miku) - OnyuuP
- LOL. It was fun seeing the P's in twitter going "What is this godly music?!". It's um...actually it's a bit of everything. It's pop with a bit of a hymnal melody somewhere in the middle and then it has a persistent rockish beat in the background (it's mostly pop though XD). Miku almost didn't sound like Miku in the first part, too! I was surprised. The PV is...dizzying and includes a lot of things you can't stop watching it.

13. Matryoshka (GUMI x Hatsune Miku) - hachi
- ↑16

14. Andaluce (Megurine Luka) - OwataP
- Not sure how OwataP wants to romanize the title, I might have to ask him. I'm not used to seeing OwataP upload remotely serious songs so this is a bit of surprise XD;. The intro is awesome and reflects a fantasy-like melody. Coupled with Luka's gentle singing, the whole song is awesome (the piano is especially good!).

15. Numb Army the Boo II (GUMI x Miku) - Syomi
- I do not know what the title is about... But the song has wonderful guitar melody mixed in with Miku's super fast voice.

16. Shabettaaaaaaaa!!! (Hatsune Miku) - Higeru/ManzokuP
- This is a tribute to the infamous McDonalds Happy Set CM (if you don't know it, you need to get out more XD). Somehow, the song became hard rock/screamo XDD;. You'll never look at Spongebob the same way again....

17. Kaeri Michi (Hatsune Miku) - FuwariP
- ↑20 Title translates to "The Way Home."

18. Karakuri 卍 Burst (Kagamine Rin and Len) - HitoshizukuP and やま△
- ↓06

19. Babel (Hatsune Miku) - Atols
- ↓13

20. Juu Mensou (GUMI) - YM
- ↓12 Title translates to "Ten Faces".

21. Mozaik Role (GUMI) - DECO*27
- ↓25

22. Hidoor Utopia (Hatsune Miku) - SeiretsuP
- ↓14

23. Domino Taoshi (Hatsune Miku) - scop
- ↓07 Title translates to "Domino Effect".

24. Paradise Song (Kaai Yuki) - YuniP
- A rather creepy song with traditional vibes, Yuki's high voice fits the eerie song well.

25. Risky Game (Hatsune Miku) - KurousaP
- ↑28

26. Dou Iu Koto na no? (Hatsune Miku) - KuchibashiP
- ↓10 Title translates to "What does this mean?".

27. Moumou Poem (Hatsune Miku) - Yuzuhiko
- I love the intro very much, and the rise in tempo reminds me of suspense/thriller music. However, the rest of the song is pretty with piano music, high but not screechy Miku and subtle guitar music.

28. Kusare Gedou to Chocolate (Hatsune Miku) - PinocchioP
- ↓18 Title translates to "Rotten Heresy and Chocolate".

29. Marie-Luise (Lily) - seleP
- An upbeat pop-ish song which is, for me, a genre that fits Lily's voice best. Surprisingly, Lily is tuned really low here, almost Luka-ish, but can still carry the beat. SeleP is known for making wonderful Lily songs, so please do check the mylist!

30. World's End Dancehall (Hatsune Miku x Megurine Luka) - wowaka
↵35

pickup
Crossmind (Kagamine Rin/Len) - Yukke
Atama Jakushi to Umbrella (Hatsune Miku) - take coke

history

I almost almost mistook Moumou Poem as Machige's.

I thought Kami Kyoku would be higher (even took the top three)... I demand it to be higher next week~~

Kagefumi Etranger is so catchy, epecially the guitar.
