ofurotaimu | Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 154 (October 10-17, 2011)

This week, Senbonzakura still reigns supreme, making it a bandwagon song that doesn't pale in comparison to Matryoshka and Ura Omote Lovers. This week also gives us a bit of nostalgia because there are a lot of covers of old songs, songs we have encountered when we're all new to the fandom. I hope you enjoy this one.

Also, as a very kind move, Utaran-san is trying to upload the Weekly Utattemita Ranking IN ENGLISH. That means the blurb, the intro notes as well as the data in the ranking will all be in English. This is really a plus especially to those who have a hard time watching and/or commenting in the original ranking. The English ranking will be uploaded in Nico Nico.Com and for starters, he has created a mirror of the ranking there. If you cannot comment in Japanese in the original NND video, go all out in commenting in the English site to show your comments and reactions to the ranking as well as thanks to Utaran-san, who is painstakingly trying to reach out to us foreign fans.

From now on, I'll prioritize linking the English version.

↑# - 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. 【Alice in Musicland】歌ってみた.verしま太×骨♪.featお手伝い村
• Alice in Musicland [collab]
• original by OSTER Project
• overall rank: 31. This is a collaboration involving Shimata, Rabipo, Mabipo, Pippo, Tsukipo, and Hone. Covers of this song are pretty rare so I extremely enjoyed this one.

02. 【民謡風？】『千本桜』を三線と共に思うまま謡ってみた by がんとう
• Senbonzakura -Okinawan version- [Gantou]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by KurousaP
• overall rank: 35. Title means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms". The language is still the same, don't worry, but the melody has become like that of traditional Okinawan music.

03. (｡･ｘ･)つ【ここにあること】を歌ってみた＠うさ
• Koko ni Aru Koto [Usa]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by FuwariP
• overall rank: 36. I am very picky with Usa's ballads, but she pulled this one really well. Her solid voice is good against the piano melody.

04. さよならレトロニューワールド　歌ってみた【なゆごろう】
• Sayonara Retro New World [Nayugorou]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by YuuyuP
• overall rank: 37. Whether it's a fast or slow song, Nayugorou still sounds so adorable;;. The autotune is a bit of a turnoff but tolerable.

05. カゲロウデイズ　歌ってみた！りもこん
• Kagerou Days [Rimokon]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Jin
• overall rank: 38. Title means "Sizzling Hot Days". Rimokon lacks a bit of power to match the song's intensity, but he did well nonetheless.

06. 「腐れ外道とチョコレゐト」歌わせて頂きました。/iciko【７曲目】
• Kusare Gedou to Chocolate [iciko]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by PinocchioP
• overall rank: 40. Title means "Rotten Heresy and Chocolate". It's the first time I've heard this song sung well by a loli voice.

07. 「カゲロウデイズ」を歌ってみた。KK
• Kagerou Days [KK]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Jin
• overall rank: 42. Title means "Sizzling Hot Days". KK fits songs with a country-ish/folk rock feel more, but he did well in this song.

08. スキキライを歌ってみた - ゆきさき×Freedel -
• Suki Kirai [Yukisaki x Freedel]
• Yukisaki; Freedel
• Kagamine Rin/Len original by FernandoP
• overall rank: 43. Title means "Love or Hate". I was almost expecting Freedel to be super crack in this song but they're actually very adorable!

09.
• I Think Anshin [ShoshinshaF x acane madder]
• ShoshinshaF; acane madder
• Hatsune Miku original by JakkanP
• overall rank: 45. Title means "I think of relief". This is so cute!!

10. 【将星】千本桜ピアノバージョンを【サビから歌ってみた】
• Senbonzakura -piano version- [Shousei]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by KurousaP
• overall rank: 46. Title means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms". Senbonzakura is a high-tension song with lots of action and fast lyrics, so a piano version is very much welcomed. The tempo is still almost the same, but the piano and the rest of the instruments are gentler and calmer. Shousei also fits the song with his smooth voice.

11. 【セルフカバー】「モノクロスロード」を歌ってみた【R＆Bver】
• Monocross Road -RnB version- [ArieP]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by ArieP
• overall rank: 54. This is ArieP's rearrangement and self-cover of his song. His voice fits the song soooo well. I'm reminded of halyosy and the likes, but with autotune.

12. 【歌ってみた/ ｾﾙﾌｶﾊﾞｰ】　小夜子　【愛島(ミキト)】
• Sayoko [MikitoP]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by MikitoP
• overall rank: 55. This is MikitoP's self cover of his song. He sounds really, really good!

13. 「No Logic」を歌ってみた＊LIQU@。
• No Logic [LIQU@]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka original by JimmythumbP
• overall rank: 59. LIQU@'s voice sounds a bit too thin for this song, but it's still pretty anyway.

14. 【メイアン×南風】秘蜜〜黒の誓い〜【歌ってみた】
• Himitsu ~Kuro no Chikai~ [Meian x Namfon]
• Meian; Namfon
• original by HitoshizukuP
• overall rank: 67. Pretty nice. I like Meian's voice a lot.

15. 生衝動　歌ってみた－遊
• Seishoudou [Yuu]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by awomori
• overall rank: 68. Title means "Urge to Live". It's kinda creepier than the usual Yuu ;;; but it could be because the nature of the song as well as a PV.

OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

01. 「千本桜」をルー語でシングすることにトライした / recog
• Senbonzakura [recog]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by KurousaP
• Title means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms". L-LOL at the Maji Love 1000% reference. This is, like Jegyll's, a freedom cover, so there's tons of adlibs as expected from recog, including some weird language and English-JP mixupthingamajig. But that makes it a fun listen especially since there's a lot of covers out there already.

02. 【ろん】僕みたいな君　君みたいな僕 -arrange ver.- 　歌ってみた【そらる】
• Boku Mitai na Kimi, Kimi Mitai na Boku [Lon x Soraru]
• Hatsune Miku original by DECO*27

03. 「パズル -arranged for Piano/Strings-」を歌ってみました by ENE
• Puzzle -piano and strings- [ENE]

04. ノイジーラバーソウル　歌った＠りょーくん
• Noisy Lover Soul [Ryo-kun]
• mylist
• GUMI original by Last Note.
• I...really thought it was "Noisy Rubber Soul" .... Ryo-kun's voice fits ballads more so his rock covers sound a bit weak, and the guitars overcame him. Nevertheless, what a nice, smooth singing.

05. 『カゲロウデイズ』を歌わせて頂きました。灯油
• Kagerou Days [Touyu]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Jin
• ↑10 Title means "Sizzling Hot Days".

06. 空中庭園　歌った

07. 葬と恋歌ってみた__
• Sou to Koi [Fukuwa]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Hina Shion
• Title means "Burial and Love". Fukuwa's ikemen voice *___*. This is quite a creepy song but he still sounds good. For some reason it reminds me of old Laruku songs ^^;.

• Doukoku no Ame [Asamaru x Faneru]
• Asamaru; Faneru
• original by GRANRODEO

• Senbonzakura [Zebra feat. ytr]
• mylist
• Hatsuen Miku original by KurousaP

10. トウキョウト・ロック・シティ歌ってみた【che:櫻井】
• Tokyo-to Rock City [che:Sakurai]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Ecomaru
