ofurotaimu | Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 150 (September 12-19, 2011)

HAPPY 150th Utaran!

Wow, it seems like it hasn't been long since the 100th ranking! It means I've been doing this forever, huh? XD Anyway, you thought the Maji Love fever is gone? THINK AGAIN. Also, there's a lot of Cosmos covers, which probably makes otetsu a happy guy :D.

Aaaand, Utaran-san decided to troll us in this week's pickup ranking (which he had done...a couple of times before), so please look forward to that XD;.

↑# - 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!

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

01. 「glow（Piano&Strings Acoustic .Ver）」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• glow (piano and strings acoustic version) [Guriri]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by keeno
• overall rank: 31. This is part of the Korean utattemita album "voices in the bottle", which will be released November 23. Guriri's voice is naturally powerful, hence the ends of the phrases of this cover seems a bit forceful and thus drowns out the strings. But this is Guriri's style and I think she managed to express the sentiments of the song well.

02. 話が進まない4人が十面相を歌うと半年以上滞る
• Juu Mensou [collab]
• GUMI original by YM
• overall rank: 32. Title means "Ten Faces". This is a collab by Akatin, Vanilla Totoro, Denchigire, and Kiccho. This is apparently, a song half a year in the making XD. It's very random and entertaining and...just...I'm so amused ^^;.

03. 【歌ってみた】東京テディベア【はにちゃむ★】
• Tokyo Teddy Bear [Hanycham]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by Neru
• overall rank: 33. I'm not a huge Hanycham fan but I love this cover. So powerful and just...so fitting. A bit chaotic at the choruses but it works.

04. 紡唄 -つむぎうた-　歌ってみた－遊
• Tsumugi Uta [Yuu]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin and Len original by DATEKEN
• overall rank: 34. Title means "Spinning Song". This is one of my favorite DATEKEN song (and Aerogel covers) so I'm a bit skeptical as to how interesting Yuu can make this cover. It's wonderful XD;. Yuu usually has a creepy voice as far as you know, but somehow his voice fits the erhu music so well.

05. からくりピエロ-piano.ver- 歌ってみた【なゆごろう】
• Karakuri Pierrot [Nayugorou]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP. Piano arrange by Koma'n.
• overall rank: 35. Title means "Mechanical Clown". Nayuu's voice seems a bit too thin for the song, but since this is a gentler arrange, she sounds so pretty. I like how she used a deeper voice instead of her usual high, cutified voice.

06. 【のぶなが】ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール（Acoustic Jazz Ver）うたってみた
• Net Game Haiji Sprechchor -acoustic jazz version- [Nobunaga]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
• overall rank: 37. Title means "Net Game Addicts' Theme. Again, this is part of the Korean utattemita album Voices in A Bottle. I've great respect for Nobunaga's voice and I think she sounds amazing here, but the timing/rhythm seems to be a bit weird. Or is it because it's jazz? I'm not sure, but there's something a bit amiss in this cover in my opinion.

07. 容疑者Ｍの逃走は午前５時から　歌ってみた－遊
• Yougisha M no Tousou wa Gozen 5-ji kara [Yuu]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by SoreppoiP
• overall rank: 42. Title means Suspect M's Escape at 5AM. I don't know how Yuu does it, really, but the mood of the song as well as the PV is enhanced by his ~~creepy~~ singing XD.

08. 『ここにあること』歌ってみた ver.メイアン
• Koko ni Aru Koto [Meian]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by FuwariP
• overall rank: 45. Title means The Things that are Here. Meian's voice sounds a bit too sharp for the melody but her choruses are lovely. The high parts are...really high, but I think she managed to sing them well.

09. 『Cosmos』を歌ってみた by がんとう
• Cosmos [Gantou]
• mylist
• GUMI original by otetsu
• overall rank: 47. Well, we all know that Gantou can sing virtually ANYTHING so there's really little room for comment xD.

10. PONPONPON @しゅーず【歌ってみた】
• PONPONPON [Shoose]
• mylist
• original by Kyari-Pamyupamyu; Len cover by GigaP
• overall rank: 49. I didn't think much of this when I first heard it but when it was covered by Vocaloids it became immensely catchy ;;. Shoose's cover is extremely autotuned but it sounds okay for a dance number :).

11. うそつき　歌わせて頂きました【すこあ】
• Usotsuki [Score]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Tsunamaru
• overall rank: 50. Title means "Liar". What a high rendition XDD;. Despite the high notes, Score sounds so cute here XD;. Somehow he reminds me of Amatsuki.

12. 元部長が「Hello, Worker」を一生懸命歌ってみた【Syuri】
• Hello, Worker [Syuri]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka original by Eshi ja nai KEI
• overall rank: 52. Really nice! Syuri's voice is really soothing and is greatly compatible with KEI's straightforward songs.

13. 【歌ってみた】おかえりなさいのうた ver. KK【オリジナルPV付】
• Okaeri Nasai No Uta [KK]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Ananii
• overall rank: 53. Title means "A Song of Returning Home". This is such a gentle song but KK's slightly rough voice gives it a nice touch.

14. マトリョシカを楽しく歌ってみたぬき
• Matryoshka [Urata~~nuki~~]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku x GUMI original by hachi
• overall rank: 54. This is a rather loose cover but it's fun and actually really well-done! Urata never fails to amuse me.

15. Cosmos歌ってみた＊鳥子
• Cosmos [Toriko]
• mylist
• GUMI original by otetsu
• overall rank: 55. Toriko sounds pretty good here, although this is not her best cover. She did well against the strong guitars even with high notes.

OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

01. 【そんなふいんきで歌ってみた】メランコリック【ぐるたみん】
• Melancholic [Glutamine]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by Junky
• OK. Even if this is Glutamine, a pop-autotuned Glutamine is very new to me and I feel my body is not ready for this! Oh well, this is a reaaaaallllly interesting rendition because despite the fact that Glutamine managed (or not?) to carry the song well, he has additional well-placed adlibs throughout the song. Also. cutesy Glutamine. What. Just XD.

02. マジLOVE1000%　歌ってみた【しゃむこにつきmaroりぶゆ十
• Maji Love 1000% [collab]
• original from Uta no Prince-sama
• This is a collaboration involving Kony (Ittoki), Shamuon (Masato), maro. (Natsuki), Yuuto (Tokiya), Rib (Ren) and Amatsuki (Shou). Sudden appearance of Lady Gaga included XD. Some of the voices don't blend well but otherwise, this is really entertaining. Actually ALL Maji covers are ^^;.

03. 『東京テディベア』を歌ってみた【ヲタみんver.】
• Tokyo Teddy Bear [wotamin]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by Neru
• More Ike-Min, which is good for the heart. I really love her low, solid voice. She sounds a bit straining at the high and loud parts but that is normal ^^;. The chorus is especially amazing.

04. 『Cosmos』を歌ってみました。／びびあん
• Cosmos [Vivienne]
• mylist
• GUMI original by otetsu
• I think you all know that I loooove Vivienne so much especially when it comes to upbeat, crazy rock songs. She is awesome here, hitting the high notes properly and managing to sing through the fast lyrics without effort.

05. ✿ KiLLER LADY 歌ってみた
• KiLLER LADY [Hanatan]
• mylist
• GUMI original by Hachiouji
• I don't like Hanatan's autotuned voice much and I love her when it comes to super high/powerful songs, but here she sounds okay. I like how her voice still lilts at the end even in autotune XD.

06. 『格子の心臓』を歌わせて頂きました。灯油
• Koushino Shinzou [Touyu]
• mylist
• GUMI original by NishizawasanP
• Title means "Heart Trellis". As usual, I'm in awe of how much power and how high Touyu's voice can get. Not a very "clean" rendition, as expected but still great. The high voice at the start kind of...gave me a start though XD.

07. ✿ ユラギ歌ってみた
• Yuragi [Hanatan]
• mylist
• Lily original by niki
• Pls. see my comment in the above Hanatan song about my thoughts on her autotune. Despite that, I love her rising chorus here. Those long notes!! *__*

08. b>【はなげうた】歌ってみた【ぽこた】実写ＰＶ（？）
• Hanage Uta [Pokota]
• mylist
• Gakupo original by KanimisoP
• ↑14

09. 少女カナリアと煉獄歌ってみた__
• Kanaria [Fukuwa]
• mylist
• Kagamine Len original by Plutonius
• /jaw drops. Okay, I wasn't expecting Fukuwa's cover to be like this, but I like XDD. I seldom hear Fukuwa's solid voice now so this is kinda refreshing.

10. 『行きます！カラオケ一曲目』に合いの手入れたなう / recog
• Ikimasu! Karaoke ikkyoku [recog]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by HobonichiP
• ↑28

11. 【カバーアレンジ】STEP TO YOU（PV version）　歌ってみた
• STEP TO YOU (PV Version) [ShounenT]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• TBH, I'm amused at the pinkness of ShounenT's blurb box. That aside, this cutesy song fits Tomohisa's voice so well, it's really cute ;;

12. 俺たちのじょーじょーゆーじょー　（一人）
• Boku-tachi no Joujouyuujou [Ultimate High]
• mylist
• ↓01 This is a parody of original by Hyadain involving various serifu and monomane from anime. L-lol Togepi.

13. 【カバー】「KissHug」をビブラートで歌い分けてみた。【halyosy】
• Kiss Hug [halyosy]
• mylist
• original by aiko
• LOL at the vibrato notes in the blurb XD;.

14. 【APヘタリア合作】Mr.Country【蕎C山粉色歌赤】
• Mr. Country [collab]
• This is a Hetalia parody of the Rerulili original.
• ↓08 This is a collab involving Sobatsuyu (Italy), CSK (Germany), ya-ma (Japan), Konafukuimo no hito (Prussia), Irobun (Italy Romano), Uta no Oyabun (Spain) and Akajam (England).

15. 武士語で「ロマンティックあげるよ」を歌ってみた【たろう16bit】
• Romantic Ageru Yo -samurai version- [Tarou]
• mylist
• original from Dragon Ball.
• ↑17

16. Hello, Worker 歌ってみた【そらる】
• Hello, Worker [Soraru]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka original by KEI
• I honestly like how natural Soraru sounds here. He has been improving a lot and I hope he won't use autotune too much anymore. He's just fine and he sounds lovely just like this :3.

17. 【GUMIオリジナル】シリョクケンサを歌ってみたΦ串Φ
• Shiryokukensa [Kushi]
• mylist
• GUMI original by 40mP
• Title means "Eyesight Test". If you think Vivienne's cover is powerful enough, watch this. Kushi starts off like Vivienne, gently and without force...until refrain comes. Then, Kushi does her signature note stretches and lilts. It's a pretty cover.

18. 【鈴木ぷよ】天ノ弱【歌ってみた】
• Ama no Jaku [Puyo]
• mylist
• GUMI original by 164
• Title means "Heaven's Weakness" although after reading Nurarihyon no Mago, I'm starting to think of a different meaning ^^;. I don't know this utaite, but his cover is interestingly different.

19. サイバーサンダーサイダー　歌ってみた
• Cyber Thunder Cider [Musekitsui]
• VY1 original by EZFG
• ↓04

20. 【替え歌】マジMETABO1000%【歌ってみた】
• (Parody) Maji Metabo 1000% [Inocchi]
• mylist
• Metabo means "overweight". Aaaand this is a parody of you know what XD.

21. 【一生懸命】『からくりピエロ』を歌わせていただきました。 / 松澤由美
• Karakuri Pierrot [Matsuzawa Yumi]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• Title means "Mechanical Clown". Matsuzawa Yumi is a professional singer who is known for her song "You Get to Burning" from Martian Successor Nadesico. Apparently, she's been singing a few Vocaloid covers since the past year. She has a wonderful voice, as expected, but she's been receiving harsh criticism from the community. This song has divided reactions, so don't mind them first and just listen :3.

22. 格子の心臓　歌って㋯㋟。
• Koushino Shinzou [Amatsuki]
• mylist
• GUMI original by NishizawasanP
• Title means "Heart Trellis". This is supposed to be a strong rock song, but as usual, Amatsuki sounds like a cute high-schooler :D

23. 【からくりピエロ】歌ってみました【蓮】
• Karakuri Pierrot [REN]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• ↓11 Title means "Mechanical Clown".

24. 「Hello,Worker」を歌ってみた【koma’n】
• Hello, Worker [koma'n]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka original by Eshi ja nai KEI
• Such gentle voice ; A ;

25. 【新社会人が】Hello, Worker【歌ってみた】
• Hello, Worker [Shin Shakaijin]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka original by Eshi ja nai KEI
• ↓02

26. 【歌ってみた】メランコリック EUROBEAT Ver.【リミックス】
• Melancholic -eurobeat remix- [Colorful Sounds Port]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by Junky
• This is kinda awesome. It's just a bit...too scratchy for eurobeat but that's just me though... Also, it'sa guy singing....right? XD

27. 「東京テディベア」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• Tokyo Teddy Bear [Guriri]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by Neru
• ↓25

28. マジLOVE1000％コラボ新社会人ぽこたベェェェェジュプリクマー amu recog
• Maji Love 1000% [collab]
• original from Uta no Prince-sama.
• ↓18 This is a normal and parodied cover of the bandwagon song. Involves Shin Shakaijin as Ittoki, Pokota as Tokiya, Beeeeige as Ren, Purikuma as Masato, Amu as Natsuki and recog as Shou.

29. 「サイバーサンダーサイダー」歌い終わっ太。
• Cyber Thunder Cider [Owata]
• mylist
• VY1 original by EZFG
• I'm so amused by his blurb ffffff . Anyway, this is a raw cover, meaning it's not autotuned and there isn't even that much effects. It's kind of awesome because the song is...almost impossible to sing.

30. 【ラップ】渋谷のストロボナイツ歌ってみた【コレコレ】
• Shibuya no Strobe Nights -rap version- [Korekore]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by kz
• ↵ I have...no idea.

history
1. Boku to Watashi no Nico Nico Douga (Hyadain)
2. Shinkai Shoujo (Nobunaga)
3. Vocaloid Medley - Bokura no Uta (Ritsuka)
4. Calc. (that)
5. Matryoshka (vip-tenchou)

pickup
• [Parody] 404 - Not Found OTL (Syun)
• [Parody] 404 - Not Found OTL (Arikado)
• [Parody] 404 - Not Found OTL (Yoneharu)
• [Parody] 404 - Not Found OTL (Soihoni)
• [Parody] 404 - Not Found OTL (Nimono)
• Baka da yo? (Muta)

* A note about the ~~troll~~ pickup: The origin of this is someone from the Entertainment section found a Youtube tutorial on how to imitate a 20th century fox intro no matter what you put on the logo section. Thus, the 404 logo was formed. Then, people decided to use that video and parody the "missing video message" in Nico Nico Douga. You know, the one where Foo-san plays his flute? XD And yeah a lot covered it... That is why you see in this Utaran tag "I didn't see the pickup", since all the pickups say "the video is unavailable" XD.

"...--masen ano junbi ga-- ah" Oh Amatsuki |D

I bet there will be Senbon Sakura bandwagon coming nest week!

I mean next week OTL

Re: Cosmos - The three Cosmos covers here are really nice, but...

OMG Vivienne!!!! I'd never paid Vivienne much notice before. I'd listen to her covers and think that she sounded good, but there was a certain "wow" factor lacking... But this cover really turned it around for me; it's fantastic!

Re: Koushi no Shinzou - Both Touyu and Amatsuki's covers sound great.

Re: Hanatan - I prefer Yuragi to KiLLER LADY.

@natsuta - It's already been covered a lot! I can't wait to see the rankings next week.
