↓# - 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. Shiryokukensa (GUMI) - 40mP
- ↑02 Title means "Eyesight Test". A few people actually said that this song isn't as good as other 40mP works, but to be honest, I really love this and it's one of my favorite 40mP works as well ^^;. I guess it's because the intro is not as catchy as the previous songs? Well, despite that, after a few listens, both the melody and the lyrics are actually very endearing :3.

02. Tropical Summer (GUMI) - Dios/SignalP
- SignalP comes up with a typical pop, summery music for this week. What a catchy dance melody. Despite the slight shakiness, I like his GUMI tuning a lot, too :3/

03. Mushroom Mother (Hatsune Miku) - PinocchioP
- The melody is so unique (and so are the lyrics ^^;), but that's PinocchioP for you. What a very unpredictable, interesting song.

04. EAT ME (GUMI) - OSTER Project
- ↑09

05. Hatarake! Neet (Yowane Haku x Akita Neru) - OwataP
- Title means "Go to Work, NEET!" And after that jazzy sexy number from Luka, we get a cracked one from OwataP ^^;;;.

06. Planetarium (Hatsune Miku Dark) - HeavenzP
- My most awaited song this week *_*. It's been a long time ;_____;. HeavenzP's ballads are still very beautiful. And it seems he has preferred tuning Miku Append on a lower scale, which is nice, too.

07. Freely Tomorrow (Hatsune Miku) - Mitchie M.
- ↓01

08. Sayoko (Hatsune Miku) - MikitoP
- MikitoP's music are very mainstream-y rock, but they have this "lingering" aura that makes them loopable. For this song, I like the phrasing of the lyrics as well as the tuning.

09. Aspirin (Megurine Luka) - MuryokuP
- One of the songs I've been waiting for this week. MuryokuP's love of grandiose rock melodies is still the same, complete with that elaborate piano music hidden beneath the strong guitars. I like the PV, too :3.

10. Alice in Musicland (Hatsune Miku, etc.) - OSTER Project
- ↓03

11. Lost Destination (Kagamine Len Append) - 150P
- Len is tuned a bit too high but gah isn't it so beautiful?! ♥

12. Russian Roulette (Megurine Luka) - OwataP
- Sexy!Luka song (and image!) with a bit of a jazzy twist. Luka sounds a bit echoey and weirdly high at parts, but the melody is awesome, as expected from OwataP.

13. Masayume Date (Hatsune Miku) - koyori
- Title means "A Dream Date that Came True". I like this very much. It's rockish, happy-sounding with clear Miku on vocals.

14. Sayonara Bokutachi no Terebi Kyoku (Hatsune Miku) - HobonichiP
- ↓07 Title means "Goodbye to our TV Station".

15. Salvage (Hatsune Miku) - osu
- I can barely hear Miku behind the loud guitars, but I think it's part of the charm.

16. Kimi he (Kagamine Rin and Len) - 83P
- Title means "To You".
- The voices sound a bit nasal, but the melody is pretty.

17. BRIGHT RAIN -Another mix- (Hatsune Miku) - LovelyP
- ↓04

18. Karakuri Pierrot (Hatsune Miku) - 40mP
- ↓17 Title means "Mechanical Clown".

19. Pretty Panty☆Aku Marin ep.0 (Kagamine Rin and Len) - Yunimemo x BucchigiriP
- The concept...is really cute. It's about Rin wanting to tell Len that she likes him. The art is cute, too. Then it gets creepy. And...peropero-ish and asflkahfalkhfT______T (It's a really catchy song too fff). You need to watch/listen to the rest of the series by Yunimemo :).

20. Gaikotsu Gakudan to Lilia (Hatsune Miku) - Tohma
- ↵ Title means "Lilia and the Skeleton Band". This pull might be because of Underbar's cover of it.

21. Kuwagata ni Chop Shitara Time Slip Shita (GUMI) - UramanbouP
- ↓13 Title means "When I chopped the stag beetle, there was a time slip". I translated this song here.

22. Jabberwocky Jabberwocka (Kagamine Rin and Len Power) - Karasuyasabou
- ↓08 I translated the song here.

23. JOYRIDE (Kagamine Rin) - Rerulili
- As I've said before in our Rerulili spotlight, this man has the talent to make songs of ANY genre. While he's mostly known with his ballads, he's made jazz songs and now, rock. It's really, really awesome. I just can't recognize that it's Rin in high parts, though. The tuning is interesting.

24. Fantastic Story (Hatsune Miku) - Ananii
- What a nice ballad! It reminds me of ryuryu's works, but a bit more mainstream-y. The march-like drums are nice.

25. Ama no Jaku (GUMI) - 164
- ↓24 Title means "Heaven's Weakness".

26. Kakokyuu Dance (Hatsune Miku) - Nashimotowe
- ↓05 Title means "Dance of Hyperventilation".

27. Chemical Emotion (GUMI x Kagamine Rin) - muhmue
- ↓16

28. ANEMONE OVERDOSE (GUMI) - ORYO
- ORYO's drums are always so nice, aren't they? And somehow, most of his songs have this kind of feedback-sounding effect on them, which irritates me a bit but upon a few more listens, the ears kind of get used to it. I like this more than Shinkaron, too :3.

29. Tsugi Sakuhana no Iro ha (GUMI) - TakanonP
- ↓14

30. Kanjou Sekai (Hatsune Miku) - Gisetsu P x VocaliodP
- Title means "Round World". Very light piano and vocals against strong drums/guitar, but it doesn't sound off.
