Weekly Vocaran #185 (04/11-18, 2011)

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking # 185 (April 11-18, 2011)

And finally, here is the Vocaloid ranking this week XD. I'm terribly sorry for the backlog posts. You guys who like having RSS feeds in your email and stuff must've been flooded. So sorry. I needed to keep it out of the way for completeness' sake so I can continue with the Vocaran (BTW, thanks for everyone's input and encouragement! I love all your comments <3!).

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.

↑# - 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. SPIRAL GAME (Kagamine Rin/Len, Len Append, Megurine Luka, Hatsune Miku) - natsuP
- NatsuP breaks out of her Vanan'ICE projects to bring this very gradiose production. The rock song is very similar to the Vanan'Ice stuff, but more intricate, if I may say. Probably because of many voices?

02. Last Battle (Kagamine Rin x Hatsune Miku) - JitabataP

03. Last Effect (Hatsune Miku) - LastNoteP
- The drum works in the intro's so awesome, not to mention the PV!

04. P Mei Ittemiro! (Hatsune Miku) - maretu
- KEEP. Read more about this song here.

05. butterfly paradox (Hatsune Miku) - MyumP
- It's kind of cute despite the rockish beats.

06. P Mei Iwaretenai (Hatsune Miku) - koushirou
- ↑09 Title means "My (P) Name wasn't Mentioned"

07. Mukashi Mukashi no Kyou no Boku (Hatsune Miku) - DECO*27
- ↓07 Title means "Once Upon a Present Me"

08. P Me Hikatteta (Hatsune Miku) - UtsuP
- This is UtsuP's reply to maretu's P Me song, showing surprise because his name was one of those glowing XD.

09. Danzai Outer Red (Hatsune Miku) - bibuko
- I don't know what the title means, probably "The Red Outside Conviction" or something XD;. Anyway, this is a rock song with really impressive drum-guitar combo. It sounds typical, but I'm amazed at the guitar works.

10. P Me Iwaretakatta (Nekomura Iroha) - AkibaotaP
- This is Akibaota's reply to maretu's P video. You can find maretu's reply to this...reply somewhere below XD.

11. Last Stage (Kagamine Rin) - JitabataP
- It sounds like a typical chiptunes/electronica music we often hear in the Vocaloid side, but after a few times, the song emerges as a rock-ish ensemble with Rin's alternating low and high voice ringing all throughout the song. The PV is also kind of impressive.

12. P Me Iwaretai (Hatsune Miku) - KyotnP
- This is KyotnP's reply to maretu's video, with him wishing he'd be recognized more XD. Read the post linked above for more info.

13. Panda Hero (GUMI) - Hachi
- ↓12

14. ReAct (Kagamine Rin, Len, Hatsune Miku) - KurousaP
- ↓01

15. Iiwake Love Song (Hatsune Miku) - Noah
- ↑22 Title means "An Excuse of a Love Song"

16. Itai Atashi Ashita Aitai (Hatsune Miku) - ChikuwaP
- ↓03 Title means "I Seek Tomorrow in Pain". The title is a palindrome and reads the same backwards. The song is creepy because it is about insanity and implied killing. After you watch the song, follow the directions and pause the video at 2:52, with the white screen. Even without Japanese knowledge, nightmare fuel you can has. Look at the tags for more clues on where to pause how to torture yourself more, like, pausing the video at random times and staring HARD at the image... Also, remember that it doesn't leave you. Just. Yeah. Forever watching.

17. Little Story (Hatsune Miku) - Himawari
- Like Himawari's song preferences in covers, this is a cheerful upbeat but simple melody that's easy on the ears.

18. Imitation Knife (Megurine Luka) - kous
- The katakana and kanji combination is so confusing. Anyway, this is a rockish song surprising of kous, but the tuning (breathy Luka) makes it apparent. The song also winds down into an almost ambient-like melody.

19. Matryoshka (Hatsune Miku x GUMI) - hachi
- ↓18

20. Connect (MEIKO x KAITO) - Nanameue
- You might recognize Nanameue as the one who made the wonderful cover of "Honey". This is also a cover of the Madoka Magica theme. Kaito here is actually KAIKO. MEIKO here is Sakine Meiko.

21. Mozaik Role (GUMI) - DECO*27
- ↓20

22. Rimokon (Kagamine Rin and Len) - Wonderful Opportunity
- Okay, that was fast.

23. Noroi no Susume (Hatsune Miku) - bibuko
- ↓14 Title probably means "Advancement of a Curse"

24. glow (Hatsune Miku Dark) - keeno
- This is pulled up because of the MMD version.

25. Suteneko March (Hatsune Miku) - Ichigo Miruku wo Bukkaketara Korosu
- Title translates to "March of the Abandoned Cats". A bit monotonous at the start, but the song quickly escalates into a guitar-laced pretty chorus with Miku's high pitch. I love the drums most of all.

26. Suki Kirai (Kagamine Rin and Len) - FernandoP/Gom
- Title translates to "Love and Hate". This is pulled up due to the bandwagoning ongoing in the Utattemita side.

27. AkibaOtaP Ittemiro (Hatsune Miku) - maretu
- As the ultimate troll, maretu responds to AkibaotaP's complained that his name wasn't in the "P Me Ittemiro" video. Read more about that song here.

28. iNSaNiTY (miki, KAITO) - DoofusP

29. Great Popopo~n! (Nekomura Iroha x VY1) - Ar†cana
-

30. Kiritorisen (GUMI) - 40mP
- ↓29 Title Means "Cut-off Part".

ED: Kinsenka (miki) - AVk
- Title means "Marigold".



From this time on, I'll be posting here also referrals to posts in [livejournal.com profile] singing_robots, both utattemita and vocaloid-related. The posts there are not ranking-centric and they always find songs which are great and are potential bandwagon songs XD. Also, Stel and Floor are better in describing songs in detail than I am, so please do check out their recs regularly. This week, [personal profile] oftendistracted discussed some of the songs in the ranking (Spiral Game, Asteria, that creepy palindrome song, etc.) as well as some not found here. There are also some MMD stuff for the fans. Please visit the post here!

And now I can sleep. Wait, I'm on vacation, I shouldn't sleep! /zzzz

Nice to hear more Natsu-P. Love the Len artworks.

Lol, "Itai Atashi Ashita Aitai" is scary only if you don't expect it... like it the phone rings and you pause the video and notice something's not quite right... (PS nice to see you've been to TVTropes too...)

AkibaOtaP Ittemiro... lol.

I'd say Noroi no Susume is actually Curse Tips (basically advice on how to curse people).

Kinsenka is pleasant.
