Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 163 (December 12-19, 2011)

[fascinates]

This week, we are facing the second part of the PONPONPON matsuri as well as an influx of popular people suddenly uploading songs (Yaybisasamakkufaneruetc). We also have quite a few Babylon covers for some good reason. It's a pretty predicatable ranking, but I hope you enjoy the variety this one gives (in between the PON and the WEI).

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. 【ORYO】「独我論 code:altered」自分達で歌ってみた【おはぎ】
• Dokugaron code: altered [ORYO x Ohagi]
• ORYO; Ohagi
• This is a self-cover of ORYO's GUMI original
• overall rank: 31 Title means "Solipsism code: altered". Solipsism is some sort of extreme egocentrism. Ohagi has a wonderful range and ORYO has impeccable voice prowess as always. The blending sounds a bit off at some parts but that could be because of the nature of the song itself, with the messy rhythm and loud guitars.

02. 【PON】路上？でPONPONPONを歌ってみた / 湯毛
• PONPONPON [Yuge]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
• overall rank: 33 This is Yuge singing PONPONPON in a public place while playing the guitar. I'm amused that he can still be so fiery even though it's essentially an acoustic cover XD.

03. 『バビロン』吠えてみたｂｙ赤ティン
• Babylon [Akatin]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Tohma
• overall rank: 36 I was so surprised at the falsetto and shouts towards the end! So much force as always, that I'm scared Akatin will break the notes or something.

04. 【Fate/Zero】「oath sign」歌い終わっ太。
• oath sign [Owata]
• mylist
• original song from Fate/Zero
• overall rank: 37 Owata is like the boss of anime covers. How he manages to cover each and one of them with ease and expertise is just wonderful. Those long notes!

05. 『沙上の夢喰い少女』　歌ってみた。
• Sajou no Yumekui Shoujo [Tabun Jibun]
• mylist
• Megurine Lukaoriginal by Hachi
• overall rank: 41 Title means "The Dream-Eating Girl on the Sand". It's been so long since the last wonderful Tabun Jibun cover ;_;. I'm very biased towards him so you're going to get a long babble. Anyway, the song sounds stronger compared to most of Tabun Jibun's covers, but he managed to reach the high notes perfectly and set the pace even though his voice is gentle and flowing as always. If you're interested in Tabun Jibun's other covers, I've written a spotlight about him here.

06. 女３人で「背徳の記憶〜The Lost Memory〜」歌ってみた
• Haitoku no Kioku ~The Lost Memory~ [collab]
• Vanan'ice original by SCL Project
• overall rank: This is an all-female collaboration including Guasshu as Gakupo, Ikasan as KAITO and Inazumapo as Len. The blending is a bit lacking but wow at the male voices.

07. 頑張ってPONPONPON歌ったらマヨの歌になった【銀魂】
• (Parody) PONPONPON [Akito]
• mylist
• This is a Gintama parody of the original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
• overall rank: 45 H...hahaha ;;; It's kind of scary once you get the Gintama image in your head...

08. 『化物宇宙』 歌ってみました。【ゆうゆP】
• Bakemono Uchuu [YuuyuP]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by PinocchioP
• overall rank: 49 Title means "Monster Universe". WHOA WHOA WHOA YuuyuP covering a song! His slightly hoarse but strong voice is the same as always and I personally think he should sing more;;.

09. エンヴィキャットウォークを歌う合間に商品裏面の説明文を感情的に読む
• Envy Catwalk [Funi Imouto]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Tohma
• overall rank: 57 This is uh...a cover of the song but with dramatic reading of stuff in the intervals. The singing is really good. But the lines pffft.

10. シャンドリズム　歌ってみた－遊
• Shand Rhythm [Yuu]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Den
• overall rank: 59 I am not quite sure how to romanize the first term, but Yuu, as usual manages to pull out the creepiness deep within the song even though the original does not sound creepy at all. XD

11. HITO HITO HITO 歌ってみたラ
• HITO HITO HITO [Senra]
• mylist
• This is a Durarara parody by original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
• overall rank: 60 This was bound to appear somewhere sooner or later. Senra's into being Izaya so much it's scary. The voice is a bit soft against the bouncy music, but the image in the PV makes up for it. So much.

12. 歌ってたら4年経ってたので「バビロン」歌ってみた。タイ焼き屋
• Babylon [Taiyaki-ya]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Tohma
• overall rank: 62 The original version of this song is a bit shrill and high so I'm surprised that almost all of the covers I hear are of deep, syrupy, but powerful voices. Taiyaki-ya's cover has a rough start but it smoothens out to an almost operatic level with lovely range control.

13. 独我論 code:altered 　男性キーVer.歌ってみた　【kazuya】
• Dokugaron code:altered [kazuya]
• mylist
• GUMI original by ORYO
• overall rank: Title means "Sollipsism code:altered". I gotta admit I don't know anything about this utaite but he did an amazing rendition. His voice is a bit thin but the power is immense, he reminds me of Nodoame. It's really impressive.

14. 【替え歌】高校時代の思い出でトゥインクル歌ってみた【逸平】
• (Parody) Twinkle [Ippei]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by Junky
• overall rank: 68 Hahaha, I don't understand parodies like this as always but for some reason I still end up laughing while watching.

15. 【デュラララ!!】↑人生ゲーム↓歌ってみた。【替え歌】
• (Parody) Jinsei Game [Muon]
• mylist
• This is a Durarara parody of the Hatsune Miku original by yuzuhiko
• overall rank: 69 Title means "Game of Life". A bit weak for a Jinsei Game cover, but it fits the theme well so it's forgiveable. The PV is also quite interesting.





OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

01. 【＿＿】FREEDOMにクリスマス？なにそれ美味しいの？を歌ってみた【ナノ】
• Kurisumasu? Nani Sore Oishii no? [__ x Nano]
• Underbar; Nano
• Hyadain original
• Title means "Christmas? What's that is it tasty?" As with before, this duo takes the top spot for impressive singing, Nano's English (gah!), super entertaining adlibs and a cutesy PV. I'm amazed that they worked so well together!

02. パラジクロロベンゼンを歌ってみました【ふぁねる×あさまる×じゃっく】
• Paradichlorobenzene [Asamakkuneru]
• Kagamine Len original by OwataP
• This is a collab including Asamaru, Faneru, and Jack. I thought the collab name was going to be Asafakku but I guess...Anyway, this is something unexpected even for Faneru and it's a pleasant change from Asamaru's country music-ish covers and Jack's jazzy ones. I'm terribly amused at the blending, it's awesome.

03. 【童貞が】ヘッドフォンアクター【歌ってみた】
• Headphone Actor [Bis]
• mylist
• IA original by Jin
• Welcome back, Bis ;;;;;. This is Bis' upload after a loooooooong time (he also sang in the Smiling somewhere down there). He hasn't lost his quirky but amazing singing voice.

04. PONPONPON歌おうとして挫折した / recog
• PONPONPON [recog]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
• I...hahaha...I don't know hahaha ffffff

05. 【無力Vinナノ】徹夜してPONPONPONアレンジして歌ってみた。
• PONPONPON [collab]
• Vin; Nano
• original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
• This is a collaboration with music arrangement by MuryokuP, main vocals by Nano, and screamo by Vin. A bit loud for my taste, but it cannot be denied that this is a unique and commendable cover. Nano's clear voice surprisingly runs well through the fast-paced melody and Vin's screamo is always a plus.

06. 【少年Ｔ feat.koma’n】 Just Be Friends-piano.ver- 【オリジナルＰＶ】
• Just Be Friends -piano ver.- [ShounenT feat. koma'n]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka original by Dixie Flatline.
• Koma'n provided the piano for this cover. ShounenT's acoustic/piano covers are always welcome.

07. 「twitter」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• twitter [Guriri]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by DevilishP
• A solid, powerful cover by Guriri, which is her usual impressive style. She just tends to run over the lyrics so fast that they sound a bit unclear but this is probably one of her better covers.

08. 【きゃりーろんろん】PONPONPON
• PONPONPON [Lon]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• ↓02

09. 【PONPONPON】歌ってみた　ver.Gero
• PONPONPON [Gero]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• ↓01

10. 『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
• ↑20

11. BadBye 歌って㋯㋟。
• Badbye [Amatsuki]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by koma'n
• This is another of Amatsuki's cute attempts in sounding cool in a rock song. It's a good cover, and the fast lyrics at the chorus are a wonderful listen. But he still sounds cute XDD.

12. PONPONPONを野原ひろしが歌うとこうなる
• PONPONPON [kame]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• ...............................

13. 赤飯が バビロン を歌いました。
• Babylon [Sekihan]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Tohma
• Another messy and powerful Babylon cover. I guess there's nothing much to say since hey, it IS Sekihan after all.

14. PONPONPONを歌ってみた=ふぁねる
• PONPONPON [Faneru]
• mylist
• ↓04

15. 「twitter」歌ってみた【柿チョコ】
• twitter [Kakichoco]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by DevilishP
• After her Senbonzakura, I was craving for more Kakichoco rock stuff and she delivers! Her clear, smooth voice is awesome as always and I appreciate how she doesn't drag the lyrics/notes into a slur.

16. ﾟ+｡:.✪ Smiling - 2nd Anniv. Party !! ✪.:｡+ﾟ
• Smiling - 2nd Anniv. Party [collab]
• original by halyosy
• This is a collaboration involving Mimy, MoroQ, Yueboro, Swy, Kurokun, Ponji, Hatake, rick, Sonotoku, Majiko, Suzume, Akatin, Arukuseikyouiki, srip, RK✿, Bis, Ashinaga Ojiisan, Ari, Yorukichi, Samuraiman, Miteki, Faibon, Nico, Nata, and Shiroiienosora. OMG They're so many! I'm sure you know most/some of the people here, though XD.

17. 【 背中合わせの僕と君 】　歌ってみた　【蓮】
• Senaka Awase no Boku to Kimi [REN]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by papiyon
• Title means "You and I, Standing Back to Back". I was expecting this to be a bit higher but being in this rank is still impressive. It's not as dramatic as most of REN's recent covers but it's so wonderfully sung I like it better than his older ballads. The loud, climactic parts were the best.

18. 【マチゲリータ】PONPONPON【V系風アレンジ】
• PONPONPON -Vkei version- [Machigerita]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• ↓06

19. 【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
• ↓03

20. 【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
• ↓10

21. カムパネルラremixを歌ってみた　by向日葵 とらすけ
• Campanella [Himawari]
• mylist
• GUMI original by Sasakure.UK.
• Himawari has another gentle and cute cover for us this week, but with a slightly upbeat delivery. If you want to know more about Himawari's covers, I wrote a spotlight on her here.

22. 【２周年】折れてないマイクで「Toys」を歌ってみた
• Toys [Chomaiyo]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku Dark original by mato
• This is to celebrate Chomaiyo's/Dakishimeta Tonight's second year anniversary as an utaite. And finally, I found another cover of him which I can really like (since he did become adventurous for a bit). The solid, long notes are really beautiful and his range awes me every time.

23. 【ピアノ弾き語り】PONPONPONを歌ってみた【koma’n】
• PONPONPON -piano arrange- [koma'n]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• Waah, I don't know how koma'n managed to make this song so dramatic but it worked so well ><. The melodies at the intervals are the best.

24. Just Be Friends-piano.ver-を歌ってみた@Ash
• Just Be Friends -piano ver- [Ash]
• comm
• Megurine Luka original by Dixie Flatline
• I admit I have never heard of Ash before but it's a pretty good and dramatic rendition of a classic.

25. 【銀魂】沖田総悟でドSヒーロー歌ってみた【替え歌】
• (Parody) Okita Souji de DoS Hero [Urata]
• mylist
• This is a Gintama parody of the GUMI original by hachi
• I will be forever amused by Urata's portrayal of Okita and this is probably my favorite Okita parody by him. It's just so fitting (my opinion of course). And the bratty way of singing totally works (for me, of course :3).

26. 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
• ↓23

27. 【そんなふいんきで歌ってみた】千本桜【ぐるたみん】

• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• ↓09

29. 【＿＿】FREEDOMにアンハッピーリフレインを歌ってみた。【ナノ】
• Unhappy Refrain [__ x Nano]
• Underbar; Nano
• Hatsune Miku original by wowaka
• ↵44 Okaeri! This is because of number 1, of course.

30. 【鋼兵】アスミライを歌ったら完全にアニソンでワロタｗ
• Asumirai [Kouhei]
• mylist
• This is a self-cover of Kouhei's Hatsune Miku original
• As the title says, it really does sound like an anime song XD;. From the melody to the phrasing to Kouhei's voice.
