Weekly Vocaloid Ranking # 236 (April 2-9, 2012)

[fascinates]

Sorry for being super late! This week's ranking has a lot of old songs (from last week) as well as returning songs from way back 2011! There is a large influx of Jin songs in the ranking for some reason (there are 7 songs), so Jin fans might want to check those old and new songs out. It's also been a year since the P-mei Ittemiro phase, so you might want to relive that crazily awesome song XD. Enjoy!

↑# - 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

Songs are arranged from 1-30.



01. 【IA】日本橋高架下R計画【アニメーションMV】
• Nihonbashi Koukashita R Keikaku [IA]
• by Jin
• IDK if this is the reason for all the Jin songs in this ranking (you'll see), but Jin's newest is a bit different from the rest of his works. Certain quirks like the inevitable high notes at the end of phrases and the slightly whispery way IA sings are still there but the disjointed singing followed by a smooth, gentle chorus is a different feel and definitely a good change from all his fast songs. I'm glad he's slowly following his Souzou Forest with a more pop-ish aura.

02. 【鏡音リン・レン】イカサマ⇔カジノ【オリジナルPV】
• Ikasama⇔Casino [Kagamine Rin/Len]
• by HitoshizukuP and Yama△
• Title means "Fake Casino". My favorite in this ranking, which is a bit late to coming up (it was 31 last week!), is a rare rock song by HitoshizukuP. The guitars sound amazing and sharp, it's a wonder the Kagamines didn't get drowned in such strong melody.

03. 【鏡音レン】スーパーヒーロー【オリジナル曲PV】
• Super Hero [Kagamine Len]
• by Nem
• A solo Kagamine Len song in the top 3?! This makes me so happy! This is a electronica-infused jazz rock number by Nem, who is becoming one of the Len producer staples. His Len is not as clearly tuned as his GUMI, but his deep tuning has a certain charm. The rhythm comes off too strong at first, but it's enjoyable as the song progresses.

04. 【初音ミク＋IA】コノハの世界事情【オリジナルPV】
• Konoha no Sekai Jijou [Hatsune Miku x IA]
• by Jin
• ↓01 Title means "Konoha World Circumstances".

05. 【鏡音レン＆KAITO append β 大合唱】Lost Destination【150Pオリジナル、PV付き】
• Lost Destination [Kagamine Len and KAITO Append Beta]
• by 150P
• This is very pretty. Len's tuning is a bit high, but KAITO's is wonderful. I love the guitars here and the seemingly mismatched lyrics-rhythm. The PV is a bit dizzying but the eyecandy is worth it.

06. 【V3Lily】Lying and Lying【デモソング】
• Lying and Lying [Lily V3]
• by PeperonP
• This is a demo song for Lily V3 which will be released soon. PeperonP is amazing in making her sound so deep here unlike most of her songs. She sounds almost human-like I don't even...

07. 【初音ミク】不安定彼女【オリジナル曲PV】
• Fuantei Kanojo [Hatsune Miku]
• by 19
• ↓03 Title means "Insecure Girlfriend".

08. 【初音ミク】オドロシライダー【オリジナル曲】
• Odoroshi Rider [Hatsune Miku]
• by saiB
• As usual, saiB's song is a mess of loud guitars and fast drums which create a wonderfully echoey combination. His Miku is so high-pitched as always XD.

09. 【初音ミク】 Black Board 【オリジナル曲】
• Black Board [Hatsune Miku]
• by papiyon
• ↓02

10. 【GUMI 】彩愛クレパス【オリジナルPV】
• Ayana Cray-pas [GUMI]
• by utml
• This reminds me so much of 40mP songs but with stronger bass, more muffled guitars and gentler GUMI tuning. I like the cheeriness but slight sadness in the melody.

11. 【第8回MMD杯遅刻】◆ミクさんがマジックに挑戦します【トークロイド】
• (MMD) Mikusan ga Magic ni Chousenshimasu [Talkloid]
• by Spectacler
• I honestly don't know anything about MMD or talkloid to comment, but what nice tuning.

12. 【初音ミク】またね、じゃあね【オリジナル】
• Mata ne, Jaa ne [Hatsune Miku]
• by Rerulili
• ↓06

13. 【初音ミク　GUMI】罰ゲーム【オリジナル曲】
• Batsu Game [Hatsune Miku x GUMI]
• by Kururingo
• ↓04 Title means "Punishment Game".

14. 【GUMI】 ネムラネーゼ 【オリジナル】
• Nemuraneeze [GUMI]
• by otetsu
• It's been a while since I heard otetsu's GUMI (not really)! As usual, his GUMI sounds sultry but slightly higher than Luka, but great against his strong guitars and drums.

15. 『初音ミク』千本桜『オリジナル曲PV』
• Senbonzakura [Hatsune Miku]
• by KurousaP
• KEEP Title means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms".

16. 【ＩＡ】想像フォレスト【オリジナルPV】
• Souzou Forest [IA -Aria on the Planetes-]
• by Jin
• ↑18

17. 「迷子の僕に」 - KEI feat.GUMI
• Maigo no Boku ni [GUMI]
• by KEI
• ↓07 Title means "I Who is Lost" but KEI translated it to "I've been lost".

18. 【ＩＡ】ヘッドフォンアクター【オリジナルＰＶ】
• Headphone Actor [IA]
• by Jin
• ↵ 33

19. 【初音ミク】カゲロウデイズ【オリジナルPV】
• Kagerou Days [Hatsune Miku]
• by Jin
• ↵ 32 The amount of Jin songs in this ranking is too damn high XD;.

20. 【初音ミク】さよならtraveler【オリジナル曲PV付】
• Sayonara Traveler [Hatsune Miku]
• by nexus
• I've never heard of the P before, I think. But this song is impressive. It's fast and bouncy, with a tempo like OSTER's upbeat songs, but more on the pop side. Miku is tuned very high but not shrill.

21. 【初音ミク・巡音ルカ】リンちゃんなう！【鏡音生誕祭2011】
• Rin-chan Nau! [Hatsune Miku x Megurine Luka]
• by OwataP
• ↓16

22. 【R-18】45分の恋人【SAKAMOTO-P feat.初音ミク】オリジナル
• 45-bun no Koibito [Hatsune Miku]
• by SakamotoP
• Title means "45-minute Lover". This is a gentle song that sounds like 90s ballads. Miku's voice is solid but toned down so it doesn't sound sharp. The gentle chiming of melodies is wonderful, although I've yet to see how the song is R-18 XD.

23. 【初音ミク】メカクシコード【オリジナル】
• Mekakushi Cord [Hatsune Miku]
• by Jin
• ↵ 37 A returning song from 2011..

24. 【GUMI】 イカサマライフゲイム 【オリジナル・PV付】
• Ikasama Life Game [GUMI]
• by kemu
• ↑27 Title means "Fake Life Game".

25. 【鏡音リンレン】一つの誓いよ、永遠の歌となれ 【民族調オリジナル曲】
• Hitotsu no Chikai yo, Eien no Uta to Nare [Kagamine Rin and Len]
• by Rohi
• ↑63 This was the pickup last week. I'm glad it moved up the ranking because it's just so lovely.

26. 【GUMI・鏡音リン】 インビジブル 【オリジナル曲・PV付】
• Invisible [GUMI x Kagamine Rin]
• by kemu
• ↵ 35

27. 【初音ミク】人造エネミー【オリジナル曲】
• Jinzou Enemy [Hatsune Miku]
• by Jin
• ↵ 34 Title means "Artificial Enemy". And this is a returning song from early 2011.

28. 【オリジナル曲PV】マトリョシカ【初音ミク・GUMI】
• Matryoshka [GUMI x Hatsune Miku]
• by hachi
• ↵ 42 This is probably thanks to SoraLon's cover of the song.

29. 【GUMI】独奏アイデンティティー【オリジナルPV】
• Dokusou Identity [GUMI]
• by DasshutsukatatsuikanbanherniaP
• ↓19

30. 【GUMI】シルバーバレット【オリジナル曲】
• Silver Bullet [GUMI]
• by PeperonP
• ↓22
