ofurotaimu | Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 167 (January 9

This week has a lot of new stuff, half of which consists of tons of Rin-chan Nau! covers, which, if I may warn everyone, can trigger earworming for a long time. If you wish to watch a different, insane kind of ranking, you might want to go watch the Rin-chan Nau! Ranking @ niconico.com (link to Japanese NND here. :D

Since many people requested I bring back my comments in each song, I did put them here again, although I hope you'd also put your thoughts in the songs, too! I mean, I'm thankful for the comments I receive before but it feels weird when people only comment to correct my mistakes in the post ^^;. I keep getting panic attacks whenever I see a new comment in a post bec. it's almost 100% a correction LOLOL. So if you could, please also leave your thoughts about the rankings ~~with your possible corrections orz~~

↑# - 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. 「リンちゃんなう！」歌ってみた　ココル
• Rin-chan Nau! [Cocolu]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• overall rank: 31. Cocolu tries her hand at voicing 2 (or more) voices. She handled it pretty well, imo XD.

02. 「ベツニ君とキライちゃん」を歌ってみた。KK
• Betsuni-kun to Kirai-chan [KK]
• mylist
• Miki original by Ishiburo
• overall rank: 33. I haven't heard this song yet but the concept is interesting. KK roughs up the song with his country/folk rock-ish voice and it worked so well.

03. 献身的人間は優しい人になれないを歌ってみた　by向日葵
• Kenshinteki Ningen wa Yasashii Hito ni Narenai [Himawari]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Okina
• overall rank: . Title means "A Devoted Person Cannot be a Kind Person". A very lovely and gentle cover by Himawari, as usual. She makes the song easy on the ears.

04. 献身的人間は優しい人になれない歌ってみた【鹿乃】
• Kenshinteki Ningen wa Yasashii Hito ni Narenai [Kano]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Okina
• overall rank: 38. Title means "A Devoted Person Cannot be a Kind Person". Kano sings with her rarely-used full voice, which makes this a pretty and emotional cover cover.

05. 【センター試験】センターデイズ　歌ってみた【カゲロウデイズ替え歌】
• (Parody) Center Days [collab]
• This is a parody of the Hatsune Miku original by Jin
• overall rank: 39. This is a collaboration including Mafumafu, KazyuP, 46, and Kony.

06. 『つけまつける』歌ってみた
• Tsukematsukeru [Kanzentaicell]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyupamyu
• overall rank: 57. Ehehehe XD. Just like with his previous PONPONPON cover, this is a cover teeming with ikemenness, but with a little bit more autotune. The song is not as catchy as I expected but Kanzentaicell made me listen to it.

07. 【きゃりーたぬたぬ】PONPONPONを楽しく歌ってみたぬき。【オリジナルPV】
• PONPONPON [Urata]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyupamyu
• overall rank: 59. Urata comes up with his tanuki version of the bandwagon song and he is still overly cute and random and tsuntsun-sounding.

08. 『ジェンガ』歌ってみたｂｙ赤ティン
• Jenga [Akatin]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• overall rank: 61. Quite a nostalgic song and it's the first time I've heard Akatin sing a tame song XD;. It's really good!

09. 【オペラ風ポケモン】そこに空があるから-Orchestra Arange-
• Soko ni Sora ga Aru kara -orchestra arrange- [Yuuda]
• mylist
• original song from Pokemon; original arrangement
• overall rank: 64. This actually made me tearful.

10. つけまつける　歌ってみた
• Tsukematsukeru [Iroha]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyupamyu
• overall rank: 63. Too much autotune for my taste that her voice is distorted already, but I guess the rendition is quite cute.

11. 【ゼブラ】新人発掘をしてみた『人生リセットボタン』【けけ(ヶ´∀｀)】
• Jinsei Reset Button [Zebra x Keke]
• Zebra; Keke
• GUMI original by kemu
• overall rank: 64. Title means "Life Reset Button". Pretty impressive singing but it's expected coming from these singers.

12. 『わたしライス定食たべにきた』を歌ってみた by 石敢當
• Watashi Rice Teishoku Tabenikita [Gantou]
• mylist
• GUMI original by Makoneko
• overall rank: 70. Title means "I Came to Eat a Rice Meal Set". Ishigantou/Gantou's voice sounds a bit too gentle for this hyper, random song but it's entertaining nonetheless.

13. プロが「演奏してみた」みくみくをオペラ風に歌わせていただいた
• Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru -Opera version- [Yuuda]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by ika
• overall rank: 74. Yuuda strikes again with his operatic singing of the classic.

14. エンヴィキャットウォーク歌ってみた ver.ぼろん
• Envy Catwalk [Boron]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Tohma
• overall rank: 76. Long time no see! Boron needs to sing more songs like this because his rough voice + rapping is perfect for this type of songs.

15. 「キューピッドはもうやめた！」歌わせて頂きました。/iciko
• Cupid wa mou yameta! [iciko]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka original by OppuoppuP
• overall rank: 82. Iciko's latest uploads had always been autotuned electropop which kind of gets tiring after a while, so this is a nice change—a cute, upbeat song. Her voice fits so well with the cheery melody and while there's a bit of autotune, it's barely there.

OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

01. 「リンちゃんなう！」に少量のキモさをプラスしてみた / recog
• Rin-chan Nau! [recog]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• Not my favorite cover of Rin-chan nau but it's definitely interesting. I mean, it's recog! Even if we don't understand what's happening half the time XDD;. Don't listen to too much Rin-chan Nau now, you'll get tons of them later.

02. 「七色のニコニコ動画」を歌ってみた ver.nayuta
• Nanairo no Nico Nico Douga [nayuta]
• mylist
• original by Shimo
• Nayuta covers one of the classic medleys in NND with her nostalgic cute voice.

03. 『リンちゃんなう！』を歌ってみた【eclair×リシェ feat.ma十たみん】
• Rin-chan Nau! [collab]
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• This is a collaboation including eclair as Luka, Rishe as Miku, Glutamine as Rin, Yuuto as "Oh oh oh!!" Person...and Mao as bass-player. Glutamine hahahaha OTL

04. リンちゃんなう！を歌えなかった
• Rin-chan Nau! [LiveP]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• This is a "father"'s reply to Rin-chan Nau. It includes a lot of "Don'ts" in dealing with Rin-chan, sasuga doting father. Too bad you won't hear LiveP's normal speaking voice here since he distorted his voice to be a bit smaller and robotic.

05. ヘッドフォンアクター　歌ってみた【そらる】
• Headphone Actor [Soraru]
• mylist
• IA original by Jin
• Combo breaker!!!! Soraru sounds awesome here although still a bit slurry, but it's so much better than his autotuned covers.

06. 【憂病】リンちゃんなう！歌ってみた
• Rin-chan Nau [Usa x Yamai]
• Usa; Yamai
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• I think this is my favorite Rin-chan Nau cover (aside from LiveP) XD.

07. 『モノクロナイト』を歌ってみた【ヲタみんver.】
• Monochrome Night [Wotamin]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku Append original by rock man
• A wonderful ballad by Wotamin, although I think she could've done better singing more simply minus the adlib reaches and weird curls in her voice.

08. 『バビロン』を歌わせて頂きました。灯油
• Babylon [Touyu]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Tohma
• I thought Touyu already covered Babylon, turns out he's a bit late XD; Still, that doesn't mean it's less cool.

09. 【一丁目ゆきみ商店街】　歌ってみた　蛇足×【蓮】
• Icchoume Yukimi Shoutengai [Dasoku x REN]
• Dasoku; [REN]
• Hatsune Miku original by yukkedoluce
• Title means "Yukimi Shopping Street on Block One". This song became even more of a nostalgic song because of their dramatic singing.

10. 【少年Ｔ】虹【弾き語り風】
• Niji [ShounenT]
• mylist
• original by Ninomiya Kazunari
• I was actually smiling all throughout the song...and I'm not an Arashi fan LOL

11. すーぱーそに子が『cat's dance』を【歌ってみた】
• cat's dance [Super Sonico]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Marasy
• ↑38 I really do not get the hype over Super Sonico, but l-lol she sounds cute.

12. 【ビビ】百年夜行【歌ってみた】
• Hyakunen Yakou [Bibi]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by PolyphonicBranch
• Title means "Centennial Nocturnal March". *sigh* Amazing as always. The high reaches are awesome.

13. 【ぽこた】letter song【歌ってみた】＠誕生日
• letter song [Pokota]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by doriko
• This was uploaded for Pokota's own birthday. It's his usual dramatic ballad rendition, very much like his "Uta ni Katachi wa Nai Keredo".

14. 「リンちゃんなう！」を感情のままに歌ってみた。タイ焼き屋
• Rin-chan Nau! [Taiyakiya]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• ↑31

15. 『リンちゃんなう！』を歌ってみました【松下＆あやぽんず＊】
• Rinchan Nau! [Matsushita x Ayaponzu*]
• Matsushita; Ayaponzu*
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• ↓12

16. リンちゃんなう！をリンちゃんの気持ちで歌ってみたらこうなった
• Rin-chan Nau! [Akamekagami (Makura)]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• I'm really not sure how to romanize the name so a bit of help? The voice is kinda cool, though XD;.

17. 「リンちゃんなう！」を歌ってみた＊ななひら
• Rin-chan Nau [Nanahira]
• mylist
• Megurine Luka and Hatsune Miku original by OwataP
• ↓09

18. 【PONPONPON】歌って踊ってみた【恭一郎】
• PONPONPON -song and dance- [Kyouichirou]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyupamyu
• ↵ I have no idea...

19. カゲロウデイズ　歌ってみた【けったろ】
• Kagerou Days [Kettaro]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Jin
• Title means "Sizzling Hot Days". My favorite cover of this song, you don't know how long I waited for this. Kettaro has a way of sounding breathless and yet still appear to sing so effortlessly. I'm just a bit averse towards the PV, it's exaggeratedly bloody ^^;.

20. ゆるふわ樹海ガール　歌ってみた－遊
• Yurufuwa Juukan Girl [Yuu]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Ishiburo
• A creepy rendition of the creepy song, but we all know how Yuu does his job XD. The little laughs were precious.

21. 【のぶなが】cat's dance　うたってみた
• cat's dance [Nobunaga]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Marasy
• Nobunaga's quirky but cute singing worked so well in this song and it's an adorable result. Probably my favorite cover as of yet.

22. 「bouquet」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• bouquet [Guriri]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by doriko
• Guriri sounds a bit too powerful for me in this song because I loved it as a gentle ballad. But I am just very biased towards the original.

23. 【だきーちょまちょま】つけまつける　歌ってみた
• Tsukematsukeru [Dakishimeta Tonight/Chomaiyo]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyupamyu
• Would have never expected this to work, especially since I'm solid biased towards Chomaiyo's ballads and slow rock songs, but for some reason this sounds really cool XD;. Of course that's because Chomaiyo sang in a high-pitched, distorted voice XD;.

24. 【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
• ↓20

25. カゲロウデイズ　トラックの運転手目線で歌ってみた
• Kagerou Days [Funi Imouto]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Jin
• ↓02

26. 【赤飯】トップオブザワールドを歌いました。【弾き語り風】
• Top of the World [Sekihan]
• mylist
• original by the Carpenters
• Seriously. To be fair, I think Sekihan did a good job with his English (even though he said he cannot do English at all XD). Also, you might notice the video is a collection of...probably everything that comes up in Google Search for "Carpenter" ^^;.

27. ヘッドフォンアクター　歌ってみた－遊
• Headphone Actor [Yuu]
• mylist
• IA original by Jin
• Yuu gives a different kind of life to the new bandwagon song. It's not creepy at all, but rather echoey and unusual (the Yuu kind).

28. 右肩の蝶　歌った
• Migikata no Chou [Lon]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by Noripy
• ↵ Title means "Butterfly on the Left Shoulder". This was uploaded years ago but shot up the rankings because of the sudden surge of views for it to reach 1 million. Congratulations!

29. 【すぃ】ヘッドフォンアクター【歌いました】
• Headphone Actor [Swy]
• mylist
• IA original by Jin
• Swy in the rankings! The blending of the voices can be a bit confusing for a bit, but once you get used to it, it's kinda awesome.

30. 【PONPONPON】歌ってみた　ver.Gero
• PONPONPON [Gero]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyu-pamyu
• ↓29

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

otsu nikki!!! and yayyy comments are back ♥

if i comment it's just captain obvious ;w; i will try tho!

KK Betsuni-kun to Kirai-chan
ah >< I like his rock approach that gives a sort of an indifferent approach? it's so cool

HIMAWARIII always himawari ;w; oh the title is really intriguing D:

oh wow soko ni sora ga aru kara is really beautiful

i've been playing minmin's monochrome night on loop >< so in love with this cover

It takes me longer to post rankings when I put comments, too, but whatever makes you guys happy :'D.

KK's folk rock covers are really cool XD;. I'm not really a fan of rough voices but I like his covers a lot.

LOL Your wotamin bias :3 :3

Personally I don't absolutely love male covers, but wow Akatin's Jenga is amazing... (that and its 40mP lol) But my favorites were Wotamin's Monochrome Night and Guriri's bouquet.
I also think that Wotamin could have done a bit better, however it still has her "fullness" that she has when she sings so its still good in my books lol.
And as for Guriri and bouquet, the original song had a nice soft tone with Miku, but its almost like with Guriri singing it, the whole meaning changes. Somehow I absolutely love singers that sound like they pour their hearts out into singing it and give it all of their emotions. Something too soft isn't really "right" for me.(although with the Korean Utaite drama thing, Guriri as a person is meh.) But next week, Guriri will probably be somewhere in the ranking with her cover of Niki's new song.

I can't even tell if Akatin is male sometimes ^^;;. Damn powerful and high voices.

I see! I personally like the voices a bit gentler (hence my favorites like Seriyu, etc.) but if you're looking for a little mood shift without changing the song meaning, Guriri's cover is pretty nice! L-lol korean utaites and their drama are never-ending. I quite like Guriri's covers of niki songs, too, so I'll be on the watch for her next week.

Ooooooh. Listened to the Rin-chan nau! ranking and seriously it is addictive although headache-inducing. And now after I tried it out on Skype one of my friends has asked me to sing it during namahousou. alskdjalsdj impossible ;__;

For #16, if I translated it it would come out something like "I Tried to Sing Rin-chan Nau! with Rin-chan's feelings but it became like this". Which is very much WTFLOL.

Chomaiyo's Tsukema Tsukeru is adorable! I had it on repeat for a whole day at work, it's seriously that addictive. And now I'm recording Tsukema Tsukeru. The insanity. Like I even know how to mix something so adorable. And making it a self-duet, too. Insanity.

Ahem. But anyways. Tsukema Tsukeru matsuri next? XD

LOL I was hoping for a Tsukematsukeru matsuri, but that is kinda inevitable with the Rin version out :'D. Good luck on your own cover~.

XD sooner or later someone really popular will cover it and it will boom just like PONPONPON~

Thanks! Finished recording but gah mixing mixing mixing. It will probably sound horrid, but I'm going to try and get it ready for uploading by tomorrow, fingers crossed.

It's been delayed already since I did say on twitter I wanted it up last weekend >__

I enjoy your comments!

I've been looping "Ur-Style" from the pickup, as well as Mangestu no Yuu. Both are calming.
Swy's Headphone Actor is pretty good; I found it just before the ranking went up, and I'm glad it made it in.
I rather think that Kettaro's Kagerou Days sounded like Soraru's cover, but better, in my opinion. My favorite will still be Yuuto's, though, now and forever.
"Soko ni sora ga aru kara": That is not the Pokemon I remember. o_o I can't decide between that and Gantou's version, now.
KK! I'm always excited to see him enter the rankings; it's such a crime that more people don't know about him.

Thanks for reading them! Sometimes I go off-track and become really random, so I hope you forgive ><;.

I'm quite impressed with Swy's cover, too! I am quite choosy with his songs, but this one is great.

I don't remember Yuuto's cover of Kagerou Days anymore (having listened to tons). I guess I'll relisten!

I agree about KK! He has a wonderful range and has a distinct roughness in his voice that makes his covers special *_*.

There's a rin-chan nau! ranking? O_O Bahahahaha this is amazing! xD

I have to admit, glutamine makes rin-chan nau! sounds so cool.
Yuuto as "Oh oh oh!!" Person pffffft I died.

The Rin-chan Nau ranking can induce seizures and hypnotism, just saying :D :D

Y-yeah, I am kinda of LOL-ing they have a specific role for each singer. Yuuto good job :D

Pfft I thought Touyu did a Babylon cover too already haha.
I think I prefer his Envy Cat Walk cover - and I'm already too biased towards Glutamine's cover so ahaha

Ikr! I get Touyu's and Glutamine's covers mixed up a lot of times, actually orz...

The PV Zebra and Keke's Jinsei Reset button... what am I watching.. that's a man!? but a great cover anyways~

I didn't like Tsukematsukeru much when I listened to the original, but I like Kanzentaicell and Dakishimeta's versions more than the original!

I think my mind died from listening to all those Rin-chan Nau covers...

Bibi's Hyakunen Yakou is so *_* I also like Dasoku and Ren's cover of Icchome! I usually don't like Soraru's voice, but recently I've been finding a lot of covers I like from him, including Headphone Actor. I think I'm more fond of his covers of rocks songs, where he sings a bit more energetically.

The hype over Super Sonico is that.. she seems to be popular as a mascot character in general, I dunno? >
