Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 171 (February 6-13, 2012)



Happy Hearts' Day ! ! We're having a bit of an event in twitter, so why don't you participate in vocalovday, too? You just need to tweet your favorite Vocaloid love song w/ the hashtag! :D

Back to the rankings, this week's has a bit of bandwagoning of Hanged Girls and Forests and Ikasamas. LOL. If you like these songs you might want to check the awesome covers out! The rest is a pretty good mix of retained stuff and new things, there are multiple covers by utaites, too. Anyway, this week is pretty good in terms of variety so I won't keep you waiting.

↑# - the song moved up from a previous top 30 rank
↓# - song moved down from a previous top 30 rank

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. 【バル】「想像フォレスト」を歌ってみた。
Souzou Forest [Baru]
mylist
IA original by Jin
overall rank: 31. Title means "Imagination Forest". This needs more views. Baru's clear voice rings throughout the song.

02. 『イカサマライフゲイム』歌ってみました。【松下】
Ikasama Life Game [Matsushita]
mylist
GUMI original by Jin
overall rank: 32. Title means "Fake Life Game". This is really well-done and Matsushita used her high but non-loli voice, so it doesn't sound awkward or off.

03. ARKADIAを歌ってみた【amu x りせは】
ARKADIA [amu x riseha]
amu; riseha
Kagamine Rin/Len original by Kouhei
overall rank: 34. SO CUUUUUTE! One of my favorite duos! The blending is perfect although amu sometimes sounds more like a girl than Riseha LOLOL.

04. 【鋼兵】インビジブルを激熱で歌ってみた
Invisible [Kouhei]
mylist
Rin x GUMI original by kemu
overall rank: 37. Even though I like Kouhei's covers, I think this one is too high-strung and tense for me ^^;

05. 愛ト茄子ト平和ナ果実 ラップアレンジver【melost】
Ai to Nasu to Heiwa na Kajitsu -rap arrange- [Amatsuki x Hashiyan]
Amatsuki; Hashiyan
Hatsune Miku original by saiB
overall rank: 38. Title means "Love and Eggplant and a Fruit of Peace". It's a bit too messy for my taste at the middle but Amatsuki's voice is always adorable.

06. 【チェロと武士がピアノで精一杯歌う】想像フォレスト【伊東歌詞太郎】
Souzou Forest [Ito Kashitaro]
mylist
IA original by Jin
overall rank: 40. Title means "Imagination Forest". I don't know why I'm reminded of Kogeinu LOL They don't sound alike at all ;;.

07. 『バビロン』歌ってみたver害
Babylon [Gai]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Tohma
overall rank: 42. It sounds a bit creepy but Gai controls his voice really well, esp. at the loud parts.

08. 幽霊屋敷の首吊り少女歌ってみた Ver.あり
Yuureiyashiki no Kubitsuri Shoujo [Ari]
mylist
GUMI original by Tohma
overall rank: 43. Ari has a really high reach and she sings the high notes here perfectly. However I've some issues w/ the mixing of the voices, something seems off. Either way, Ari's voice is still pretty.

09. イカサマライフゲイム歌ってみた。【un:c(あんく)】
Ikasama Life Game [un:c]
mylist
GUMI original by kemu
overall rank: 45. Title means "Fake Life Game". I almost didn't notice the crossover from Bibi's to un:c's covers because they both have powerful voices, LOL. un:c sounds a bit high-strung here but I think he covered it nicely.

10. 【ビビ】イカサマライフゲイム【歌ってみた】
Ikasama Life Game [Bibi]
GUMI original by kemu
overall rank: 46. This is a deleted video. Bibi reupped this but it was beyond the time for the ranking data this week.

11. Notebook 歌ってみた 鳥子
Notebook [Toriko]
mylist
GUMI original by buzzG
overall rank: 11. I didn't like buzzG's latest work but as always, Toriko combines power and smoothness in her voice to bring out a wonderful cover.

12. 【オリジナルPV】感謝を込めて愛言葉を歌ってみたぬき。うらたfeat.すこあ
Ai Kotoba [Urata]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by DECO*27
overall rank: 48. Title means "Words of Love". Chorus and harmony was done by Score. It's so cute ; A ; .

13. 【生主】ニコ生で知り合った女に歌で告ってみた【歌ってみた】
Nico Nama de Shiriatta Onna ni Utatte Kokuttemita [Rinarina]
comm
original by
overall rank: 55. Well, this is awkward. This is a song and somewhat a love confession dedicated to the girl (in the picture??). I'll let you see for yourself.

14. パンダヒーロー 歌ってみました【あいす×しゅーず】
Panda Hero [Aisu x Shoose]
Aisu; Shoose
GUMI original by hachi
overall rank: 58. Despite the lack of kick, I like this a lot! The blending is nice and they didn't try to be "loud", keeping it suave. The echoes are a nice touch.

15. センセーショナル 歌ってみた-遊
Sensational [Yuu]
mylist
GUMI original by YM
overall rank: 59. As usual, Yuu haunts us with his unusual voice we can't stop listening to.





OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

01. 【smiley*2G】けったんなう!【らむ生誕祭2012】
Kettan Nau! [Smiley*2G]
Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by OwataP
• This is a parody involving the Smiley*2G people Kettaro, Kogeinu, vip-Tenchou, Rumdarjun, YU, ShounenT, Mucchi, and Mi-chan. This is also to celebrate Ramu-kun's birthday. The lyrics, which I translated here, don't really make a lot of sense :'D

02. 赤飯が Bad ∞ End ∞ Night を孤独に歌いました。
Bad ∞ End ∞ Night [Sekihan]
mylist
Vocaloid original by HitoshizukuP and Yama△
• Wherein Sekihan voiced all of the Vocaloids. And then there are adlibs. Of course it's going to be amazing! His English is impeccable---for someone who says he doesn't understand English XD;.

03. 【neko】『メランコリック』アレンジして英語で歌ってみた【ナノ】
Melancholic -English- [neko x nano]
neko; nano
Kagamine Rin original by Junky
• Who knew Melancholic can sound this cool? :3 I still don't know what "once upon a melancholic" is supposed to mean since melancholic is an adj... ok never mind XD;.

04. 【んふんふ んふんふんふ!】んふんふんふんふ【んふ】【オリジナル】
Nfunfunfunfunfu [Himeji Reia]
mylist
↓01

05. ★「ナイショの話」歌ってみました Ver-irony
Naisho no Hanashi [irony]
mylist
• original by ClariS
• Irony strikes again with another ClariS song. Her solid voice sounds good against the loud pop melody.

06. 【想像フォレスト】歌ってみた @ゆいこんぬ
Souzou Forest [Yuikonnu]
mylist
IA original by Jin
• I don't know much about this utaite but such a gentle, cute voice!

07. 【Gero】ブラックホールアーティスト 歌って吐いてみた【Vin】
Black Hole Artist [Gero x Vin]
Gero; Vin
GUMI and Kagamine Rin original by UtsuP
• No words. I mean, when you put two people who like singing screamo and powerful songs together, you're obviously just going to listen to them with mouth open, right? XD. they kinda sound alike too sobs

08. 想像フォレスト 歌ってみた【鹿乃】
Souzou Forest [Kano]
mylist
IA original by Jin
↑18 Title means "Imagination Forest".

09. クワガタにチョップしたらタイムスリップした 歌ってみた【そらる】
Kuwagata ni Chop-shitara Time Slip shita [Soraru]
mylist
GUMI original by IenourademanbougashinderuP
• Title means "When I Karate-chopped the Beetle, there was a Time Slip". Soraru kind of sounds robotic in this song for some reason, but his range is still pretty good.

10. 【母が】 千本桜 語ってみた。
Senbonzakura [Musuko's mother]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by KurousaP
↑164 Title means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms". I think this is going to be a trend now :'D.

11. 母が「林檎華憐歌」歌いたかった。
Ringo Karenka [Beatmario's Mom]
• original by Beatmario.
↓02

12. 『CLOSE*2』を歌ってみた【ヲタみんver.】
CLOSE*2 [Wotamin]
mylist
Kagamine Rin original by KagomeP
• After Wotamin's powerful covers and her beautiful ballad from before, this kind of pales in comparison. I can't really tell what I don't like about it but it sounds a bit forced.

13. 【ぽこた】幽霊屋敷の首吊り少女【歌ってみた】
Yuureiyashiki no Kubitsuri Shoujo [Pokota]
mylist
GUMI original by Tohma
• Title means "The Hanged Girl at the Haunted House". Pokota sounds sooo good in his covers recently! It's big coming from me who doesn't normally listen to him. He sings this in a rather carefree way compared to his other more subdued, controlled covers and it's a good thing imo.

14. 【 恋は戦争 】 久しぶりに叫びたかった 【蓮】
Koi wa Sensou [REN]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by ryo
• Title means "Love is War". That scream! Yes, that's all of my comment :'D.

15. 【まふまふ】イカサマライフゲイム@歌ってみた【(ノ)・ω・(ヾ)】
Ikasama Life Game [Mafumafu]
mylist
GUMI original by kemu
• Title means "Fake Life Game". Mafumafu uses too much autotune. He shouldn't because even without the effects, his voice is amazing ;;.

16. 【バル】「334人の敵」を歌ってみた。
334-hito no Teki [Baru]
mylist
GUMI original by KonataP
• Title means "Enemy of 334 People". Baru's voice here sounds a bit pinched so there's a certain awkwardness in the cover, but despite that, she pulls it off, reaching high notes and managing to slide through the jazzy piano well.

17. 【Vin】magenta【吐いてみた】
magenta [Vin]
mylist
Nano original by DevilishP
• Somehow, I thought they sound the same, Nano and Vin. LOL. They have the same quirks in pronouncing words, maybe. Anyway, Vin does his own powerful rendition of this song with really good diction without losing a beat even at the high parts.

18. 「ぼくらのレットイットビー」を歌ってみた。KK
Bokura no Let It Be [KK]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by HarryP
• Wah! I had wanted KK to cover this when I heard this first. This is just lovely. KK's rough voice sounds amazing against the simple slow melody.

19. 想像フォレストを歌ってみた【koma’n】
Souzou Forest [koma'n]
mylist
IA original by Jin
• Title means "Imagination Forest". Koma'n's (l-lol those apostrophes) voice settles well with the light pop feel of the song so he sang it really well without seemingly chasing over words.

20. 「エンヴィキャットウォーク」歌ってみた+RAP Ver.DennyBlue
Envy Catwalk [Denirow feat. AO]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Tohma
• I don't know much about this combination but Denirow just doesn't disappoint doesn't he? That amazing range and vocal strength *_*.

21. 【鋼兵】イカサマライフゲイムを激熱で歌ってみた
Ikasama Life Game [Kouhei]
mylist
GUMI original by kemu
• Title means "Fake Life Game". I definitely like this than Kouhei's other upload. It's not as high and has a lot of punch.

22. Hello, Workerを歌ってみた by向日葵
Hello, Worker [Himawari]
mylist
Megurine Luka original by KEI
• The song doesn't seem to fit Himawari's voice that well, but she manages to pull it off. Sliding her serene voice through the rough guitars gives the cover a bit of a tearful aura.

23. ワンルーム・オール・ザット・ジャズ を歌ってみた【EVO+】
One Room All That Jazz [EVO+]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by dateken
• I don't hear much from EVO+ and while she sounds a bit soft, she sings beautifully. She pronounces her lyrics very clearly, too.

24. 【 黒猫系女子 】 を歌ってみました 【蓮】
Kuroneko-kei Joushi [REN]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by scop
• Title means "Girl of the Black Cat Group". I didn't expect REN to cover a jazzy song this time but he sounds really good. Well, this is a complete opposite of his other upload, though :'D

25. 【まふまふ】幽霊屋敷の首吊り少女@歌ってみた【(ノ)・ω・(ヾ)】
Yuureiyashiki no Kubitsuri Shoujo [Mafumafu]
mylist
GUMI original by Tohma
• Title means "The Hanged Woman at the Haunted house". It's a bit messy and all over the place with the autotune and Mafu's super high voice so I didn't like it much but Mafu's range is remarkable.

26. 黒猫系女子歌ってみた ver96猫
Kuroneko-kei Joushi [96neko]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by scop
↓03 Title means "Girl of the Black Cat Group".

27. 想像フォレスト歌ってみた…【ゆう十】
Souzou Forest [Yuuto]
mylist
IA original by Jin
• Title means "Imagination Forest". Yuuto's rough voice might sound a bit off at first in this song but they combine well at the choruses.

28. ワンルーム・オール・ザット・ジャズを歌ってみた@ヤマイ
One Room All That Jazz [Yamai]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by DATEKEN
• So sexy O:. Well, we all know Yamai sounds wonderful in jazz songs and this one, with its simple melody, just brings out that fact even more.

29. 【てん】イカサマライフゲイム【歌わせて頂きました】
Ikasama Life Game [Ten]
mylist
GUMI original by kemu
• Title means "Fake Life Game". TEEEEEEEN!! Long time no see! I love how he sounds so rough yet so controlled at the same time. He doesn't go into a screaming spree at all, and adjusts well with the pitch changes.

30. 【替え歌】レンくんなう!歌ってみた ver96猫
(Parody) Len-kun Nau! [96neko]

Happy Valentine's! Very late, but thanks for the write up ~
I'm really enjoying Souzou Forest and Ikasama Life Game ups right now. I also very much enjoy Matsushita's Ikasama Game (she seems to always sing kemu songs pretty well), but my favourite Souzou Forest cover so far is Yuikonnu's! So many amazing covers this week though as always ;;

I figured Sekihan's Bad ∞ End ∞ Night would show up sooner or later. I think it will probably make it onto his upcoming third album.

*swoons over Sekihan, hal., and Toriko's covers of the song*
