NEW UPLOAD RANKING

01. 【M&R mix】繰り返し一粒 歌ってみた【あにま】
• Kurikaeshi Hitotsubu -M&R mix- [Anima]
• mylist
• original by Nekomushi
• overall rank: 31. Title means "One of Repetition". Quite an interesting cover! Anima sure loves singing songs with fast lyrics XD;. This one is slowed a bit and a pop dance-y beat was added.

02. お庭は無いけど Corruption Garden 歌ってみた。＝のど飴
• Corruption Garden [Nodoame]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka original by Caz
• overall rank: 32. Why is it not in the top 30 ;;. I was actually waiting for a looooooooong time for Nodoame to cover this song and he doesn't disappoint! He might sound a bit shaky at some parts, though, but that's forgivable.

03. 【全ての】Elvis Costello 「She」歌ってみた【リア充へ】
• She [Ogu]
• mylist
• original by Elvis Costello
• overall rank: 33. Exactly as written. The singing/diction is pretty good!

04. 【KOOL】PONPONPON -ROCK arrange-【窯出しポテト】
• PONPONPON -rock arrange- [KOOL]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
• overall rank: 36. It's...too rockish for me but fffffff the screamo and lengthy notes, it's an interesting listen.

05. Caseaman　歌ってみた－遊
• Caseaman [Yuu]
• mylist
• GUMI original by vataco
• overall rank: 37. Yuu actually managed to sing this song not-so-creepily. Instead the additional echoes and fast lyrics enhanced his singing and made it quite an adorable cover.

06. 『東京テディベア』 歌ってみた
• Tokyo Teddy Bear [Kanzentaicell]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by Neru
• overall rank: 42. This song got me by the "yeah" 10 seconds in LOL. Again, one of Kanzentaicell's wonderfully awesome covers with his ikemen voice. With that voice you can't imagine how he holds his namahousou so...so...you'll know when you hear one. Anway, this totally needs more views////.

07. 【2011】クリスマス中止のお知らせを歌ってみた【実谷なな】
• Kurisumasu Chuushi no Ochirase [Mitani Nana]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by cerofoat
• overall rank: 43. Title means "Notice of Cancellation of Christmas". Long time no hear! Her clear, bouncy voice, as always, makes a song so much livelier and dance-y.

08. 【銀魂】沖田総悟でPONPONPON歌ってみた【替え歌】
• (Parody) PONPONPON [Urata]
• mylist
• This is a Gintama (Okita Souji) parody of the original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
• overall rank: 44. This is Urata singing as usual like bratty Okita Souji wishing death upon Hijikata, etc. He might just sound a bit toooooo pouty in this one, but it's an interesting listen nonetheless.

09. 【APヘタリア】サンタヒーロー【うたいろ】
• (Parody) Santa Hero [Irobun x Uta no Oyabun]
• Irobun; Uta no Oyabun
• This is a Hetalia parody of the GUMI original by hachi
• overall rank: 45. This is a Hetalia parody involving Uta no Oyabun singing/speaking as Spain and Germany, and Irobun singing/speaking as Romano and Belgium. Before hearing this song I didn't even have any idea how fitting it is...Santa Hero. After listening to this, don't blame me if you mutter "To-to-to-tomato" unconsciously...

10. 【MAXBET】NICONICO DISCO　削除対策版
• NICONICO DISCO [collab]
• original
• overall rank: 46. This is a remake (?) of the previous NNDisco feat. Boint I've, but this time, Maxbet provided the rapping alongside ytr's and Youko's song. I don't get most of the song but it's so goddamn catchy.

11. (｡･ｘ･)つ 【PONPONPON】を歌ってみた＠うさ
• PONPONPON [Usa]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
• overall rank: 50. Usa rides the PON bandwagon, choosing to sing the original arrangement, but in a really cute voice.

12. 【歌ってみた】 インビジブル 【kradness】
• Invisible [kradness]
• mylist
• GUMI x Kagamine Rin original by kemu
• overall rank: 56. Autotune distorts krad's voice a little too much, but the power of the voice as well as the range is unmistakably awesome.

13. 【オリジナルPV】秘密の放課後～X'masCollaboration～
• Himitsu no Houkago -Xmas collaboration- [collab]
• original by natsuP
• overall rank: 58. Title means "Secret Afterschool". This is a collaboration involving Machi, Yuu, Ayaponzu, Miketama, Himeki, Zaizai, Matsushita, Shairu, and eclair. Cute voices and probably moe overload XD.

14. 夢地図歌ってみた【なゆごろう】
• Yume Chizu [Nayugorou]
• mylist
• GUMI original by 40mP
• overall rank: 61. Title means "Map of Dreams". Nayugorou's high notes here sound a bit too sharp but her cute voice matched with the upbeat rhythm and dream-like theme is just adorable.

15. 【のぶなが】My Dearest うたってみた
• My Dearest [Nobunaga]
• mylist
• original by supercell for the anime Guilty Crown.
• overall rank: 62. I prefer Nobunaga singing in this range, which is not too high or too low. The distinct gentleness in her voice might seem a bit off with the beat and the PV, but she managed to make it work.





OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

01. 【Ｌｉａ】メテオ【歌ってもらった】
• Meteor [Lia]
• IA -Aria on the Planetes- original by John
• Lia is the voice provider for the new Vocaloid IA -Aria on the Planetes-, which will be released next year. Lia is a professional singer known for singing themes for various anime series including "Clannad". She is known for her pure, crystal clear voice, which you will hear when you listen to this.

02. 【メリークリスマス!】　ジングルベル歌ってみたver 犬猫店長
• Jingle Bells [Inunekotenchou]
• This is a rather epic collaboration including 96neko, vip-tenchou and Kogeinu. What else would you expect upon hearing the cast? XD Reindeer bloomers. drama queen!Tenchou. Random angry Koge. Just.

03. 嗚呼、素晴らしきニャン生歌ってみたver９６バナナ　※フリー
• (Freedom) Ah, Subarashiki Nyansei [96neko x Kagamine Len]
• mylist
• Kagamine Len x GUMI original by Nem
• Title means "Ah, The Wonders of a Cat's Life". What a fitting song XDD;. Also, when Nacchan said Freedom, she means a lot of spoken adlibs and still wonderful singing.

04. Mr.music 歌ってみた【羊天音十折浪民】
• Mr. Music [collaboration]
• original by Rerulili
• This is a collaboration involving Rumdarjun, Shamuon, Yuuto, Amatsuki, Kony, Dakishimeta Tonight (Chomaiyo), and Glutamine. All the designs are kinda shota-ish....okay, that shouldn't be my point, LOL. It's an adorable cover and is probably the only other male cover of this song that I like.

05. 【ろん】ジェミニ　歌ってみた【そらる】
• Gemini [Lon x Soraru]
• Lon; Soraru
• Kagamine Rin and Len original by DixieFlatline
• Soralon is universally adorable, as we all know. For this I even forgive the autotune because of the nature of the song.

06. 【＿＿】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

07. 【オリジナルPV】☀｢罪と罰｣ -arrange ver.- 歌って㋯㋟。
• Tsumi to Batsu [Amatsuki]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by DECO*27
• Title means "Crime and Punishment". For once I won't say Amatsuki sounds cute and stuff. This is a more rockish arrangement of the song, with an original PV. Amatsuki sounds a bit drowned out by the guitars at first but eventually he surfaces w/ impressive power in his voice (more than usual).

08. 【ピコ】アイセンサー うたってみたﾋﾟωﾟｺ
• Eye Sensor [Piko]
• mylist
• GUMI Power original by buzzG
• Piko sounds solid and surprisingly not-so-high but powerful against the strong guitars, and I enjoyed hearing him sing this kind of rockish songs again.

09. 【替え歌】仕事が終わるまでは / recog
• (Parody) Shigoto ga Owaru Made wa [recog]
• mylist
• This isa parody of "Sekai ga Owaru Made wa" by WANDS and one of the ED for the anime Slam Dunk.
• I looove Slam Dunk so this is probably the best recog parody for me fff

10. 『インビジブル』を歌ってみました。【松下】
• Invisible [Matsushita]
• mylist
• GUMI and Kagamine Rin original by kemu
• I wouldn't say moe (it's so overused) but it's um, how do you say it? A very teenage girl-ish style of singing? It's high-pitched and sharp but not in a bad way at all.

11. 【ヲタみん】『炎上のメリークリスマス』を歌ってみた【バル】
• Enjou no Merry Christmas [Wotamin x Baru]
• Wotamin; Baru
• Kaai Yuki and Miki original by KagomeP
• This is a really cute cover and I've been waiting forever for a Minmin/Baru collab. The theme is just a bit...LOL but it's adorable nonetheless. And I will overuse the word adorable from now on, be warned.

12. クリスマス？なにそれ？美味しいの？2011Ver.　【ヒャダイン】
• Kurisumasu? Nani sore, oishii no? [Hyadain]

14. ハイパーPONPONPONタイム
• Hyper PONPONPON time [Nakajima]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
• T-this. I thought Freedel was singing fffffff. It's the same caliber, but with more random lyrics.

15. メリーメリー　うたってみた
• Merry Merry [Asamaru]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Piggy D. Pig
• Faneru and Jack provided background vocals for this song, too. Quite uncharacteristic of Asamaru, who always sings country-ish, folk rock songs, but it's a really nice change. When he says "Suki desu", which is a hanging line, you kind of feel a "kyun" somewhere in your hear....okay, never mind.

16. キョンがPONPONPONを歌わされるとこうなる【声真似】
• (Parody) PONPONPON [Iromochi]
• community
• This is a Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu parody of the original by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

17. クリスマス？なにそれ美味しいの？2010Ver. 【ヒャダイン】
• Kurisumasu? Nani sore oishii no? -2010 ver- [Hyadain]

• This is an original song by Hyadain and was remade for this year (see 2011 version above).
• ↵ 39

18. 【まふティン】インビジブル＠歌ってみた【まふまふ×赤ティン】
• Invisible [Mafumafu x Akatin]
• Mafumafu; Akatin
• GUMI x Kagamine Rin original by kemu
• Again, as with most of their covers, Akatin and Mafu2x deliver a high-strung, near screamo rendition of the song. It's an interesting style and it keeps you on the edge, if you want something to wake you up.

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

It's supposedly a bride's letter to her groom, and talks of promises and wishes in becoming a family. You can read a back story as well as a (n incomplete) translation of the lyrics in this site.

26. 【Michael Jackson】マイケル・ジャクソン「BAD」歌ってみた　by たろう16bit

27. 『君が好き』を歌ってみた@ヤマイ
• Kimi ga Suki [Yamai]
• mylist
