Songs are arranged from 1-30.

01. Jinsei Reset Button (GUMI) - kemu
- Title means "Life's Reset Button".
- The bandwagon song in this week's utaran, this electronic rock song is quite different from other rock uploads because of its interesting, engaging intro, not to mention the multitude of sounds that will invade your ears as you listen. GUMI is tuned low which worked well against the many sharp sounds in the background. It's a different kind of listening experience and I think that makes it worth the place.

02. Denpa Chuudoku (Hatsune Miku) - MurabitoP
- Title means "Electronic Addiction". Not sure about the title, but it encompass a meaning like that. Miku is tuned quite high, although gentle. One thing I noticed in this song is the lovely guitar music. Just. It's sharp but soooo catchy. Not to mention two different guitars play on different sides of the speakers, so make sure you have nice earphones to use to listen to this song XD.

03. Kousoku Play (Hatsune Miku) - Voyager
- Title means "Bind Play". I'm trying to tame the title :3. It is, of course, a sexy song with soft Miku on vocals against rock melody with wonderful piano playing.

04. Interviewer (Megurine Luka) - KuwagataP
- ↓02 I can't stop looping this still.

05. Omohide Shabadaba (Hatsune MIku) - PinocchioP
- Another eccentric and catchy song from PinocchioP which reminds me of Mushroom Mother in terms of the repetitive lyrics.

06. Live in Dead (Megurine Luka) - JimmythumbP
- Quite the controversial song here, which resulted to some trouble for JimmythumbP and forced him to take a hiatus. Even so, I personally think this is an okay song for Jimmythumb, but he had made more impressive songs in my opinion. The part I really love about this is the hard drums in the background, as well as Luka's soft vocals despite the strong song.

07. 3331 (Hatsune Miku) - Nanou/HoehoeP
- ↓01

08. RUN (Hatsune Miku) - VocaliodP
- VocaliodP comes up from 37 with a fast-paced but tame rock song with slightly muffled but good guitarwork and snappy drums combined perfectly with Miku's solid voice.

09. Gozen San-ji no Headphone (Miki) - Ishiburo
- Title means 5:00 Headphones. A new one from Ishiburo, but still with the unusual lyrics and art. I like the rhythm for this more than the first, however.

10. Senbonzakura (Hatsune Miku) - KurousaP
- ↓08 This song will never die. Like...like "magnet"...maybe.

11. Kurikaeshi Hitotsubu (Kagamine Rin) - NekomushiP
- Title means "Repetition of One". This is a remake of Nekomushi's original with Miku. Rin sounds a bit less dramatic but the tuning ffff. The tuning is still so Nekomushi-ish.

12. Sweet Float Apartment (GUMI) - IenourademanbougashinderuP
- ↓04

13. Juuichi Kaime no Uchuu to Lovere (Hatsune Miku x Megurine Luka) - yukkedoluce
- Title means "Lovere in the 11th Space". This is Yukke's 11th song, uploaded on 11/11/11 at 11:11 AM. How awesome is that? This is also his first time to use Luka in his songs and surprisingly, she is not as high-pitched as Yukke's other Vocaloids. The song is quite similar to his earlier works, but with a bit of majestic rise at the choruses, which is a bit spine-tingling for me. It's quite dramatic, although I don't know what "lovere" means /sobs.

14. Allegra (Kagamine Rin) - UtsuP
- UtsuP's back to his usual rock, although still tamer. His Rin sounds awesome at high notes!

15. +ID (Megurine Luka) - MuryokuP
- This is your usual MuryokuP song, which means its filled with grandiose from the intro to the finish. The drums might seem a bit distracting, but overall it's a really enchanting song.

16. Osorezan Revoir (Hatsune Miku) - Capitarou
- ↵ 106 Many thanks to Hayashibara Megumi (see utattemita ranking). I love how Capitaro's spazzing all over the place because of this XD.

17. Track (Megurine Luka) - Eshi ja nai KEI
- ↓03

18. Harebare Byebye (GUMI) - otetsu
- ↓09

19. Tsukino (Hatsune Miku) - Tsunamaru
- Tsunamaru's latest is again, a classy jazz song with a wonderful sax/bass/drums combo against Miku's soft voice.

20. Kagerou Days (Hatsune Miku) - Jin
- ↓19 Title means "Sizzling Hot Days".

21. Merry Merry (Hatsune Miku) - ButaP
- Wah, I love this! Okay, first, the melody is a bit too loud so Miku (she totally sounds like GUMI but okay XD) gets drowned and it's hard to listen to the lyrics. But the melody is really pretty that I can forgive that it's a bit echoey at times.

22. Yurufuwa Juukai Girl (Hatsune Miku) - Ishiburo
- ↵ 57

23. Lumpen Kimusume (Hatsune Miku) - Kuroji
- At first, I don't know what the song is trying to portray, if it's some creepy-lyrical song like YM's/Machige's. Or if it's a traditional-folk thingy. The beat confused me a bit (l-lol, pun not intended) but after a few listens, it grows on me. Anyway, it's a pretty interesting listen if you want something different.

24. Kocchi Kunna Getsuyoubi (Hatsune Miku) - PIROPARU
- Title means "Don't Come Here, Monday". This is a song just for me XD;. The rhythm is a bit repetitive and can be a bit too loopy at the start, but the song picks up a bit at the chorus and is actually adorable. The PV's cute, too.

25. Shuumatsu no Mythologia - Nanahoshi Kangen
- ↓13 Title means "Weekend Mythology".

26. Diet Beauty (Hatsune Miku) - Madako
- A very cute song about getting fat and dieting. And chocolates XDD;. Miku sounds a bit trembly, but it's not very noticeable.

27. Arashi no Mannaka (Hatsune Miku) - KurageP
- Title means "The Middle of the Storm". This is a cute pop song despite the title, with dramatic lyrics and a pretty orchestraic bg sounds in the chorus.

28. Reset (GUMI) - 164
- ↓05

29. Envy Catwalk (Hatsune Miku) - Tohma
- ↓14

30. Matryoshka (GUMI x Hatsune Miku) - hachi
