ofurotaimu | Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 162 (December 05-12, 2011)

Based on the previous post here, you should've known that this is the PONPONPON Matsuri Week, which means there are TONS of covers of this super catchy song you'll end up singing it while you sleep! Worry not though since there are actually many arrangements of the song (and many styles in terms of covering it) so you won't be bored. It's a PONPONPON dominated week, but make sure to check out the other covers, too, since they are all equally good.

↑# - 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!

December 14, 2011: Updated links with new ones.

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

01. 「FACE」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• FACE [Guriri]
• mylist
• Lily original by niki
• overall rank: 33. Guriri really fits this type of song best: rockish and a bit loud. She manages the power in her voice well, too.

02. 【のぶなが】ちゃんと歌わないと猫がPONPONPON
• PONPONPON [Nobunaga]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• overall rank: 34. It sounds like Nobunaga's trying a bit too hard to sound small and cute in this song and plus the autotune, she doesn't sound like herself anymore. While it could be a good thing, I really like Nobunaga's normal range.

03. 【X'mas風アレンジ】『 PONPONPON 』を歌ったら無駄に雄大な何かになった
• PONPONPON -xmas arrange- [Yuuda]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• overall rank: 37. J-Jingle Bells and Little Drummer Boy with a theater-like rendition of PONPONPON. I-It's actually impressive, as expected.

04. PONPONPON-acoustic guitar.ver-を歌ってみた　by向日葵
• PONPONPON -acoustic version- [Himawari]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu; Arrangement by Osamuraisan
• overall rank: 43. Waaaah so cute. I just wrote about Himawari in the utaite spotlight, so please check it out!

05. 「はたらけ！ニート」を歌ってみた＊ななひら
• Hatarake Neet [Nanahira]
• mylist
• Yowane Haku and Kasane Teto original by OwataP
• overall rank: 47. Title means "Go to work, NEET!" Typical moe Nanahira voice, but slightly more random and fun.

06. ナンカイレンアイ歌ってみた　Ver.あり
• Nankairenai [Ali]
• mylist
• GUMI original by TakanonP
• overall rank: 48. I like this song so much (well, I like all TakanonP songs) and Ali sounds adorable. She kind of sounds like she's losing breath somewhere in the middle but with TakanonP's style of making super fast lyrics, it's understandable.

07. ワールズエンド・ダンスホールを歌ってみたかもしれない
• World's End Dancehall [Shima]
• mylist
• Hasune Miku x Megurine Luka original by wowaka
• overall rank: 51. I don't usually listen to Shima but I enjoyed this cover. It's a bit random a la Glutamine but the singing (when he does it) is nice.

08. PONPONPONをテンションにまかせて歌ったらひどいことになった
• PONPONPON [Freedel]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• overall rank: 55. OMG. How can this be adorable and crazily random at the same time ffff

09. 「Just Be Friends-piano.ver-」を歌ってみた【わたあめ】
• Just Be Friends -piano version- [Wataame]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka by DixieFlatline, piano arrangement by koma'n.
• overall rank: 60. I've heard too many JBF covers I've become immune, but Wataame has such a nice high reach and dramatic delivery. I just feel that sometimes she doesn't sing her words clearly, but otherwise it's a pretty cover.

10. 「桜」歌わせて頂きました。/iciko
• Sakura [iciko]
• mylist
• Kasane Teto original by Nakano4
• overall rank: 61. Typical high-pitched autotuned iciko cover. It's pretty decent but I like his previous upload.

11. 【きゃりーてぃんてぃん】PONPONPON歌ってみたｂｙ赤ティン
• PONPONPON [Akatin]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• overall rank: 63. I was lol-ing at the intro and was expecting it to be cracked all throughout but it turned out pretty good ~~and then the chorus came and I was laughing all over again~~. Again, there was a bit too much autotune, and I think Akatin has a really nice voice he shouldn't hide behind distortion but for the purpose of this cute song, it's acceptable.

12. 【歌ってみた】　アルビノ　【 puruto 】
• Albino [puruto]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by buzzG
• overall rank: 64. WTF! Puruto's high notes! I normally prefer him singing lower songs but this is just amazing.

13. 名無しが英語で『ピエロ』歌ってみた！【オリジナルPV】
• Pierrot -English ver- [Nanashi]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by KEI
• overall rank: 65. Quite a nice diction if I might say. The voice is a bit too thin for my taste, but he still sounds good.

14. 天ノ弱やらかしてみた【チーム福岡】
• Ama no Jaku [Team Fukuoka]
• GUMI original by 164
• overall rank: 68. Title means "Heaven's Weakness". This is a collaboration including Funi (Imouto, Kusomanjuu, Ogakuzu, and Kanzaki. L-lol IDK @ dance number XD

15. 赤飯が　千本桜　を歌いました。
• Senbonzakura [Outani Kazuki]
• community
• Hatsune Miku original by KurousaP
• overall rank: 70. Title means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms". Don't be fooled by the title which says "Sekihan". It's just a ploy to get more views it seems.

OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

01. 【PONPONPON】歌ってみた　ver.Gero
• PONPONPON [Gero]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• ↑03 Of course the one who started it all should've had a boost. Thanks, Gero, for this awesome matsuri :'D

02. 【きゃりーろんろん】PONPONPON
• PONPONPON [Lon]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• (っ*'ω'*c)Uuuu this is so adorable I don't even ;___; I don't even listen that much to Lon! But I did loop this for a whole day...or two.

03. 【蛇足】 PONPONPON　アコギでアレンジしてもらって【歌ってみた】
• PONPONPON -acoustic version- [Dasoku]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• Arrangement is by Osamuraisan and this collab resulted to Dasoku and Osamuraisan flooding people's twitter and plurk and FB and everything. I like how Dasoku tried imitating Gero at first and I think that while he fails at imitating a girly voice, he can do screamo if he tries XDD.

04. PONPONPONを歌ってみた=ふぁねる
• PONPONPON [Faneru]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• This is a rather interesting take on a cover... a falsetto-rough-multiple personality version. Please do not listen while drinking something. Also, the PV is a bit hypnotic, just saying~.

05. 【シャノ(40㍍)】はじめての涙【オリジナル】
• Hajimete no Namida [40mP x Chano]
• Title means "The First Tears". This was uploaded on the day of the birth of 40mP and Chano's first baby (a boy). The picture in the PV is the actual photo of the baby's hand ;___;

06. 【マチゲリータ】PONPONPON【V系風アレンジ】
• PONPONPON -Vkei version- [Machigerita]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• It's like a whole new song altogether. I'm at a loss as to how Machige can make this supposedly adorable song sound so eerily cool, but I like it and I'm looping it.

07. フリーダムに「嗚呼、素晴らしきニャン生」を歌ってみた
• Ah, Subarashiki Nyansei [__]
• mylist
• GUMI and Kagamine Len original by Nem
• ↑08 Title means "Ah, the Wonders of a Cat's Life".

08. ノーナイデンパ歌ってみた【りぶ】
• Nounai Denpa [Rib]
• mylist
• GUMI original by YM
• Title means "Brain Waves". God, Rib's long high notes are awesome. I don't usually him singing powerful songs but this one takes the cake for me.

09. *: ) 英語でPONPONPON 歌ってみた
• PONPONPON -English version- [kalon.]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• A bit too autotuned (again) that I didn't even recognize it's kalon, but her English is adorable. I kind of didn't pay attention to the lyrics construction though.

10. 【アホの坂田】二人らしくPONPONPON歌ったらこうなった【A24】
• PONPONPON [Aho no Sakata x A24]
• Aho no Sakata; A24
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• I kind of don't understand what's happening ffff this is one of the randomest covers of this song I've ever heard ;;.

11. 【PONPONPON】歌って踊ってみた【恭一郎】
• PONPONPON [Kyouichirou]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• H...FFFFFFFFFF I was kind of speechless all throughout. I wasn't sure which I should concentrate on, the rather cute dancing or the Japanese folk song-inspired singing XD;.

12. 【オリジナルPV】天ノ弱【ぐるたみん×はしやん】
• Ama no Jaku [Glutamine x Hashiyan]
• Glutamine; Hashiyan
• GUMI original by 164
• ↓01 Title means "Heaven's Weakness".

13. 「バビロン」を歌ってみたかった、ただ、それだけなんです / recog
• Babylon [recog]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Tohma
• I'm sorry I just cracked up all throughout this song ffff. It's really, really awesome but it's recog! How can you not smile XD.

14. 『PONPONPON』歌ってみた
• PONPONPON [Kanzentaicell]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• ↵ LOL Welcome back. This is my favorite PONPONPON cover until now (and until Lon came) and is probably the most ikemen cover ever.

15. リア充爆発しろ！をアレンジしてFULLで歌ってみた（コゲ犬）
• Riajuu Bakuhatsu-shiro! -rearrange- [Kogeinu]
• mylist
• original by Kazu-K
• Title means "People with Lives, Go Explode!" There was a similar upload by Koge last year but this time he went all out and completed the song (with even a PV).

16. 『PONPONPON』を歌ってみた by 石敢當
• PONPONPON [Ishiganto]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• I don't quite understand why he went back to using his old name, but Gantou jumps into the PONwagon, too. And he still confuses me because his voice /sobs

17. 魚と鳥の名前で千本桜を歌ってみた/ヘモ
• Senbonzakura [Hemo]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by KurousaP
• ↵ Title means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms". I...IDK...

18. PONPONPON(screamo arranged ver) - neko feat.ルシュカ
• PONPONPON [neko feat. luschka]
• neko; Luschka
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• This one was directly triggered by Gero, too, since he tweeted asking for a screamo version and neko replied XD. I'm not much into screamo but I enjoyed this one just because it's so different from the rest.

19. PONPONPON歌ってみた・・・？【けったろ】
• PONPONPON [Kettaro]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• This sounds a bit off, probably because it's a bit echoey? I guess it's the style. But L-lol. I like how he started like Gero and gave up and just sang in his own style.

20. 『ルービックキューブ』を歌ってみた【ヲタみんver.】
• Rubik's Cube [wotamin]
• mylist
• GUMI original by otetsu
• This took a while to settle in my ears, since I rarely hear Wotamin singing super fast rockish songs like this (I leave songs like that to Vivienne XD). But eventually, this grew on me and it's actually a lovely cover. Minmin doesn't sound like she's pushing herself out of breath and she sounds so good with her low voice.

21. 【ぽこた】Marble Bright【歌ってみた】
• Marble Bright [Pokota]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Tom
• As expected of Pokota, this is such a cool cover. I'm not very fond of his Gakupo voice, but I love it when he just lets his voice all out like this.

22. 【ななれむ】COOLISH WALKを歌わせていただきました
• COOLISH WALK [Nana x Alilem]
• Nana; Alilem
• original from the series WORKING!!
• ↓21

23. PONPONPON祭りに便乗したいなと思っていたのですけれども
• PONPONPON [Kony]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• Rivaling Lon's for the shota cov---wait, what just happened. FFFF

24. 【全26曲】2011秋アニメの曲をまとめてコラボ
• Fall Anime 2011 OP songs [collab]
• ↓17 As usual, the awesome team of musicians and singers have banded again to release the collection of fall anime themes, 26 songs in all. Singers include Keisen, Shuuta, kalon., Masaki, etc.

25. ジャバヲッキー・ジャバヲッカ歌ってみた【でにろう×なゆごろう】
• Jabberwocky Jabberwocka [Nayugorou x Denirow]
• Nayugorou; Denirou
• Kagamine Len/Rin original by Karasuyasabou
• This is really adorable, except there's a really large gap between Nayu's and Denirow's voices. Denirow's solid and loud while Nayu's a bit sharp and gentler. It's a good thing Nayu didn't use a higher range and sang in a low tone. The contrast kind of brings an interest twist to the song, though!

26. 【のぶなが】反逆リスペクトうたってみた
• Hangyaku Respect [Nobunaga]
• mylist
• GUMI original by RecruitP
• ↓12 Title means "Respect for Rebellion".

27. 「グリグリメガネと月光蟲」アコギでアレンジして歌いました。
• Guriguri Megane to Gekkouchuu -acoustic guitar- [Buzzpanda]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by FullkawaP

28. 【そんなふいんきで歌ってみた】千本桜【ぐるたみん】
• Senbonzakura [Glutamine]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by KurousaP
• ↓13 Title means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms".

29. PONPONPON　歌ってみた！　りもこん
• PONPONPON [Rimokon]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• First thing I noticed here is the uber large blurb LOL. And I was expecting a loud, boyish cover but fff why.
