Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 144 (August 01-08, 2011)

[fascinates]

This week has overloads of maji love 1000% (still?!), Kuwagata (not the P) song by UramanbouP (both versions are awesome), 40mP songs and Ano Hana theme in the pickup. We have an interesting yet limited selection this week, it should be easier to go through them. Enjoy :).

Also, if there are any errors, please forgive me. I fell asleep while writing this and I woke up just in time to stop myself from writing "Koman" instead of Marasy and "Chef" instead of Soraru (yeah, don't ask). OTL.

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

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking # 201 (August 01-08, 2011)

[fascinates]

Not many new releases this week, so we still have the classics up and strong. It's funny how some of the Ps with songs still in the ranking also uploaded new songs this week (lol40mP). The new songs all have their charm, too, so please do check them out! Oh, and by the way, Happy Synthesizer is back XD.

Nico Nico Monthly Indies Ranking - July 2011

[fascinates]

Since I dropped the monthly Vocaloid ranking, I decided to replace it this time with the Monthly Nico Nico Indies Ranking.



Nico Nico Indies is a small part of the Nico Nico Douga site where people post their original works. The concept that is different from Vocaloid/Utattemita/Ensoushitemita is that the works here are all original and are usually instrumental or sung by people. Of course, while there are many unfamiliar names here, there are VocaloidPs and utaites that participate in this area, too, especially when they collaborate to sing original songs. Oftentimes, original songs from NNI appear also in utattemita, so you might recognize some of them. NNI is also a very slow-moving category, so there are only a few views/participants than what you might be used to.

I'm glad this ranking is just monthly because gathering information on the artists is a bit difficult, especially since I am also a bit new in this area. Since this writeup is to introduce people to NNI, I tried my best to be as descriptive as possible. If you are a fan of anyone mentioned in this ranking please feel free to chip in other information you can share re: the artist!

Since it has almost the same format, this ranking will be arranged just like the utattemita ranking, minus the colorful letters :). This might be a bit tl;dr than most of my rankings, so please be warned! Also, as I said before, this is a slow-moving category, so you will encounter songs here which you might have already heard months ago :).
