NEW UPLOAD RANKING

01. 計画都市　歌ってみた　【リツカ】
• Keikaku Toshi [Ritsuka]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by millstones
• overall rank: 31. Title means "Planned City". Ritsuka uses her full, lower voice to sing this upbeat song and she sounds wonderful, although a bit off since we're so used to her being gentle and high-pitched. Still, it's a good change and this is actually my favorite female cover of the song.

02. 【ビビ＆GUMI】人生リセットボタン【歌ってみた】
• Jinsei Reset Button [Bibi x GUMI]
• mylist
• GUMI original by Kemu
• overall rank: 32. Title means "Life Reset Button". Bibi just HAD to cover this one and make it great. He sounds a bit weaker here compared to his previous uploads but the lack of power doesn't really matter at all.

03. ロングディスタンスを歌ってみた by向日葵
• Long Distance [Himawari]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by KK2
• overall rank: 33. Himawari sounds a bit off here because of the upbeat melody + autotune, but I guess I'm just too used to her ballads.

04. スキキライ　歌ってみた　実谷なな ×リツカ
• Suki Kirai [Mitani Nana x Ritsuka]
• Mitani Nana; Ritsuka
• Kagamine original by HoneyWorks
• overall rank: 36. Title means "Like-Dislike". Even though they both sound totally girly so it's a bit awkward, it can't be denied that it's cute, Ritsuka especially.

05. 「リンちゃんなう！」を歌ってみたら予想以上にキモくて吹いた。Che*L
• Rin-chan Nau! [Che*L]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• overall rank: 37. What a suave cover of the song/recitation XDD;.

06. 『ニビョウカン』 を 歌ってみた by 石敢當
• Nibyoukan [Ishigantou]
• mylist
• GUMI original by MARUDARUMA
• overall rank: 38. IDK What name you want to use anymore, Gantou D:. Anyway, the song is a bit too fast for Gantou since he sounds like he's chasing after the notes, but as expected, he pulled it off.

07. 昔を懐かしみながら　人生リセットボタン　歌ってみた。＝のど飴
• Jinsei Reset Button [Nodoame]
• mylist
• GUMI original by kemu
• overall rank: 39. Title means "Life Reset Button". One of Nodoame's rare uploads! It's not his best, but still damn good. Come on, the awesome needs more views :(.

08. 【グリリＸのぶなが】嗚呼、素晴らしきニャン生 歌ってみた
• Aa, Subarashiki Nyansei [Guriri x Nobunaga]
• Nobunaga; Guriri
• GUMI x Len original by Nem
• overall rank: 40. Not as cute as I expected but still pretty good!

09. 【まふまふ】ニビョウカン＠原キーで歌ってみた【(ﾉ)・ω・(ヾ)】
• Nibyoukan [Mafumafu]
• mylist
• GUMI original by MARUDARUMA
• overall rank: 41. Mafumafu seriously uploads too fast. I didn't like this much because it's too high/scream-y, though.

10. 『恋愛勇者』を歌ってみました【松下】
• Ren'ai Yuusha [Matsushita]
• mylist
• GUMI original by Last Note.
• overall rank: 44. Title means "Passionate Hero". I'm not sure to hearing Matsushita at a higher voice, but it sounds nice.

11. ドレミファロンドを歌ってみたぬき。
• Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Rondo [Urata]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• overall rank: 50. In contrast to the one below, Urata's sharp voice makes this cover interesting, esp. because he sang in his little bratty voice XD.

12. 【歌ってみた】 ドレミファロンド　【kunkun】
• Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Rondo [kunkun]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• overall rank: 51. Kunkun's voice is so cute ;_;. It's a bit weak but the gentleness is really endearing.

13. 【一人です】リリリリ★バーニングナイト歌ってみた / 湯毛 feat.takeshi
• Lily Lily★Burning Night [Yuge feat. Takeshi]
• mylist
• Lily original by samfree
• overall rank: 54. Takeshi did the rapping for this cover. Yuge's powerful voice fits the energetic song well. Obviously, I like my samfree songs sung with burning passion XD.

14. つけまつける ＠しゅーず【歌ってみた】
• Tsukematsukeru [Shoose]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyupamyu
• overall rank: 61. Shoose sang this song really simply but he is still adorable. I especially like the lilts at the end.

15. 【声真似】スネ夫が自慢するときに流れてる千本桜【新スネオ】
• (Parody) Senbonzakura [Ijisan]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by KurousaP
• overall rank: 63. This is a Suneo parody of the song XD;. It's actually kinda cute or I'm just weird.

04. ニビョウカン　歌ってみた【そらる】
• Nibyoukan [Soraru]
• mylist
• GUMI original by MARUDARUMA
• Soraru is, like, in every ranking. PFFFFFT. I don't like the way he kind of eats his words while singing and how he throws off his high notes/screaming but I admit the rest sounds good.

05. 『恋愛勇者』を歌ってみた【ヲタみんver.】
• Ren'ai Yuusha [Wotamin]
• mylist
• GUMI original by Last Note.
• Title means "Passionate Hero". Wotamin sounds so much better here than in her previous cover, and her voice improves in power every upload. She just sounds a bit shrill to me at the high parts here, but otherwise she sounds super.

• Kusare Gedou to Chocolate [Shamuon]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by PinocchioP

09. カゲロウデイズ　歌ってみた【自然の敵P】
• Kagerou Days [Jin]
• mylist
• This is Jin's self-cover of his Hatsune Miku original
• I'm not sure if this was in celebration of his 1 million views as well as his first album, but he sings really well! O:

10. 【鋼兵】恋愛勇者を激熱で歌ってみた【爆誕】
• Ren'ai Yuusha [Kouhei]
• mylist
• GUMI original by Last Note.

• Totemo Itai, Itagaritai [Ishigantou]
• mylist
• VY1/VY2 original by EZFG
• I had to check twice if I made a mistake in typing out the singer name XD.

12. 【 ニビョウカン 】 を歌ってみました 【蓮】
• Nibyoukan [REN]
• mylist
• GUMI original by MARUDARUMA

14. ☪『つけまつける』 歌って㋯㋟。
• Tsukematsukeru [Amatsuki]
• mylist
• original by Kyary Pamyupamyu
• Everytime Amatsuki uploads I just go "hnnngh adorable voice" and be useless with comments. I'm sorry. This song kinda distorted his voice a bit, though, but that doesn't lessen the adorable-ness.

15. 【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
• ↑64

16. すーぱーそに子が『ARiA』を【歌っ……えなかった】
• ARiA [Super Sonico]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by TokuP
• As usual, I don't get Super Sonico's pull. This is her "messed-up" version of ARiA.

17. 【ぽこた】ドレミファロンド【歌ってみた】＠犬目線？
• Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Rondo [Pokota]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP

18. ニビョウカン歌ってみた…【ゆう十】
• Nibyoukan [Yuuto]
• mylist
• GUMI original by MARUDARUMA
• Yuuto's sang this song with just the right amount of power and without appearing to be out of breath. It's quite good.

19. リンちゃんなう！を歌えなかった

21. 歌のお犬さんが歌ってみた】ドレミファロンド【みどりいぬ。】
• Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Rondo [Midoriinu]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• Such a gentle voice *___*.

22. 「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
• ↓17

23. 歌の雄大お兄さんが『ドレミファロンド』歌ってたらとんでもないことに
• Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Rondo [Yuuda]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• For the purpose of this cover, Yuuda has called himself Yuuda-oniisan. And he didn't sing in a operatic voice XD;

24. ゆるふわ樹海ガール うたってみたそ by000
• Yurufuwa Juukai Girl [000]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Ishiburo
• I thought 000's voice will sounds too thin/shrill for this but it's actually perfect. A wonderful job!

25. 【まふまふ】とても痛い痛がりたい＠歌ってみた【(っ'-'c)】
• Totemo Itai, Itagaritai [Mafumafu]
• mylist
• VY1/VY2 original by EZFG
• As I said, Mafumafu uploads too fast XD;. A bit too much autotune for my taste, especially since I think Mafu can do away with it, but since it's an EZFG song I guess it's kind of essential.

26. 「愛迷エレジー」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• Aimai Elegy [Guriri]
• mylist
• original by DECO*27
• This song is deleted probably due to some issues regarding Guriri's permission to cover the song. When this song was released, DECO*27 did not release an original off-vocal version and stated that he preferred if it's not covered w/o permission. From Guriri's note in the deleted video, it seems she wasn't able to get permission and was called out for it in the comments. As a result, she was forced to deleted the cover in question.

27. 「とても痛い痛がりたい」を歌ってみた。KK
• Totemo Itai, Itagaritai [KK]
• mylist
• VY1/VY2 original by EZFG
• I would've never expected KK, who often sings folk rock, to cover this. It's a refreshing and interesting change XD;. Not my favorite but worth a listen!

28. 「インビジブル」 歌わせて頂きました。/iciko(一子)
• Invisible [iciko]
• mylist
• Kagamine Rin x GUMI original by kemu
• Too much autotune for me, to be honest, but iciko managed to create voice distinction pretty well.

29. うたのおねえさんが「ドレミファロンド」を歌うとこうなる
• Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Rondo [Au]
• mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• It's sung in a straightforward way but the simplicity itself makes Au's cover sweet.

30. 【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
• ↓24

YAY IS UP!!!

despite the total obvious of massive doremifa rondo, rinchan nau, nibyoukan and totemo itai itagaritai (omg so many) i like this week ranking in overall :D ........and i still wonder how the hell people cover totemo itai itagaritai orz

and the 96neko cover being no.1 are kinda predicted to me since it's just too awesome lol

[jenocide536.livejournal.com]

I haven't been the biggest fan of Rin-chan Nau!, but I thought 96Neko's Len-kun Nau! was pretty amusing. :D

I love Totemo Itai Itagaritai so much! Especially KK's cover. I totally agree that it was unexpected of him!! <3

I'm also a fan of Nibyoukan. Ren's version in particular was very good.

And Kunkun is always too adorable!! <3

[20_9]

Yuuda actually sang in his operatic voice towards the end of Do Re Mi Fa Rondo. It's hilarious; he goes something like, "Okay, I'm gonna sing for real, this time! Sing along, kids!" and then belts out in his usual epicness. He sounds so kindly until that point; then it just floods with "wwwwwww."
(It's gone now, but one of the tags was, "Children: '...(°Д°)'")

Ritsuka's Keikaku Toshi is so good! Crystal clear and loopable.
I still can't eliminate any of the three covers of Itai Itagaritai. Gantou did a faithful rendition, Mafumafu's was powerful, and KK's vibrato and chorus and impeccable English pronounciations in the song...

"I would've never expected KK, who often sings folk rock, to cover this."
That's what I thought until I saw him cover Waltz of Anomalies. Dude, I would have NEVER thought the voice would gel so perfectly with the song.

I like how the top three were ALL "Rin-chan/Ren-kun Now!" such that the uploader was able to practically play out the entire song.

[dakedo]

Keikaku Toshi sdfjkhka well deserved number one!! (and I just paid attention to the PV D: Evangelion nostalgiaaaa)

I think I'll about to just go and download everything Himawari. Her voice is so pure /////

Suki kirai is soooo cute, even the PV is amusing.

Nodoame's cover of Jinsei Reset Button is probably my most favorite cover heh.

I would jump at any guriri song cover but surprisingly I didn't really like this one DDDD:

MINMINMINMINMINNNN aaaaa tbh at first her this cover reminded me of Koda Kumi skdjha ah it's just me >< (I LIKE KOUHEI'S TOO BUT UMM YES MINMIN)

my attention span cant but woah KK D:

[igzex]

Late to the ranking party but oh gosh I really love Totemo Itai, Itagaritai, especially Ishigantou's cover!
