Weekly Vocaloid Ranking # 244 (May 28 - June 4, 2012)

[fascinates]

I'm sorry it's so late :(.

Last week's ranking has only a few new stuff, but they're all a definite must-watch. There are still some remnants of Jin stuff because of his album release as well as returning songs because of the utattemita ranking results. The rest of the remnants from last week are just jumbled in the ranking--some of them increased in rank while some fell drastically. 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. 『初音ミク』恋愛フィロソフィア『オリジナル曲PV』
• Ren'ai Philosophy [Hatsune Miku]
• by KurousaP
• Title means "Philosophy of Love". Kurousa goes back to his jazzy roots with this number, with a generous serving of piano and sax that sounds so amazing. The drums and cymbals are really refreshing and not overwhelming at all. It's like a more upbeat and daring version of Risky Game, but with a special emphasis on the instruments. It's wonderful.

02. 【IA】如月アテンション【オリジナルPV】
• Kisaragi Attention [IA]
• by Jin
• ↓01

03. 【初音ミク】不思議のコハナサイチ【オリジナルPV】
• Fushigi na Kohanasaichi [Hatsune Miku]
• by PinocchioP
• A PinocchioP song that sounds like a normal poprock song! However, the theme itself is still weird in a way. I like the multitude of drum beats and the sudden mix of folk song-sounding beats. It's such a soundfest for me, my ears are so happy XD;

04. 【初音ミク】幸福な死を【オリジナル曲】
• Koufuku na Shi wo [Hatsune Miku]
• by Kikuo
• Title means "A Happy Death". Kikuo manages to creep us out again with this happy-sounding-but-not-really song XDD;. It's so bad and good that his works are always catchy, sob.

05. 【初音ミクSoft】　アイロニ　【オリジナル曲PV付】
• Irony [Hatsune Miku Soft]
• by Scop
• ↓02

06. 【VY2】エイは育ち、僕はプロポーズに鉄を曲げる【オリジナル曲】
• Ei wa Sodachi, Boku wa Propose ni Kurogane wo Mageru [VY2]
• by IenourademanbougashinderuP
• Another special crack but sad story by ManbouP ^^;.

07. 【初音ミク】Unfragment【オリジナル】
• Unfragment [Hatsune Miku]
• by HanasoumenP
• HanasoumenP's new entry is another electropop number similar to his previous up. It makes me feel nostalgic because most popular old vocaloid songs were of this genre/quality XD;.

08. 【GUMI】 ラムダ 【オリジナル！】
• Lambda [GUMI]
• by buzzG
• Somehow, I thought this sounds so much like buzzG's previous GUMI works. I didn't like it as much as I liked Shiwa because of that, but as it's buzzG, his works are always HQ.

09. 【初音ミク】 深層カルマ 【オリジナルPV】
• Shinsou Karma [Hatsune Miku]
• by Afro1gou
• Title means "Deep Karma". First time hearing of this producer and I think this particular work is impressive. The song consists of repetitive rhythms with a rather dramatic instrumentation (cymbal clash anyone?) with Miku singing unbroken lyrics.

10. 『初音ミク』千本桜『オリジナル曲PV』
• Senbonzakura [Hatsune Miku]
• by KurousaP
• ↑19

11. 【初音ミク】お断りします REMIX【MOSAIC.WAV】
• Okotowarishimasu -remix- [Hatsune Miku]
• by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
• ↓03

12. 【GUMI】セツナトリップ【オリジナル】
• Setsuna Trip [GUMI]
• by Last Note.
• keep

13. 【初音ミク/ 滲音かこい】RE-OVERDOSE (Full)【オリジナル】
• Re-Overdose [Hatsune Miku feat. Nizimine Kakoi]
• by High Color Sun
• Kakoi is an UTAU. This is a rock song with repetitive elements that damn catchy. It's a bit dark to be hum-material, though, but nicely tuned.

14. 【初音ミク】プラグアウト【オリジナル】
• Blackout [Hatsune Miku]
• by HanasoumenP
• ↑24

15. 【GUMI】カケヒキゲーム【オリジナル曲PV付き】
• Kakehiki Game [GUMI]
• by TakanonP
• ↓09 Title means "Strategy Game".

16. 【初音ミク】 エンパス144 【オリジナル】
• Empath 144 [Hatsune Miku]
• by YuuyuP
• ↓04

17. 【ＩＡ】想像フォレスト【オリジナルPV】
• Souzou Forest [IA]
• by Jin
• ↑26 Title means "Imaginary Forest".

18. 【初音ミク】メカクシコード【オリジナル】
• Mekakushi Code [Hatsune Miku]
• by Jin
• Jin's works are not really my cup of tea and I find myself confused by all his songs (they all kind of sound the same to me). But this one has a fiercer bass work compared to the rest, not to mention a seemingly tamer beat.

19. 【IA】六兆年と一夜物語【オリジナル曲・PV付】
• Rokuchounen to Ichiya Monogatari [IA]
• by kemu
• ↑20 Title means "A Tale of Six Billion Years and One Night".

20. 【初音ミク】　さよならレシェノルティア　【オリジナル】
• Sayonara Lechenaultia [Hatsune Miku]
• by Nanahoshi
• I'm not sure how to romanize the title, but this is Nanahoshi's typical escalating rock song with amazing bass and a rising rhythm that's not hard to appreciate.

21. 【初音ミク＋IA】コノハの世界事情【オリジナルPV】
• Konoha no Sekai Jijou [IA x Hatsune Miku]
• by Jin
• ↑29 Title means "Konoha's World Circumstances".

22. 回遊　（初音ミクAppend）
• Kaiyuu [Hatsune Miku]
• by 36g
• Title means "Round Trip". 36g's latest is a simple but wonderful progressive rock-inspired song with very light guitars and drums and additional poignant electronic beats. Miku's whispery voice complements the melody very nicely.

23. 【MV】 じん 「空想フォレスト」
• Kuusou Forest [IA]
• by Jin
• ↓06 Title means "Fantasy Forest".

24. 【初音ミク】カゲロウデイズ【オリジナルPV】
• Kagerou Days [Hatsune Miku]
• by Jin
• ↵

25. 【GUMI・ミク】運命ノ子【オリジナル】
• Unmei no Ko [GUMI x Hatsune Miku]
• by AnkokoudouwaP
• Title means "Destiny's Child". Not very familiar with this P, but I thought it was an interesting song. It starts off really confusing because there are several melodies at different rhythms XD. Then at the chorus they begin to somehow mesh together perfectly against the well-tuned Vocaloids. Not bad!

26. 【初音ミク】　ダンスナンバーを共に　【オリジナル】
• Dance Number wo Tomo ni [Hatsune Miku]
• by Nanahoshi
• ↑28 Title means "A Dance Number at the Same Time".

27. 【初音ミクDark】　glow　【オリジナル】
• glow [Hatsune Miku]
• by keeno
• ↵ Thanks to Glutamine's cover XD.

28. 【初音ミク】 awake 【オリジナルPV】
• awake [Hatsune Miku]
• by TEMB
• This is a typical poprock song with a messy mix of drum and guitar melodies. Miku sounds a bit off for some reason but I'm not sure in what way.

29. 【初音ミク】　ナマポ芸人　【ほぼ日P】
• Namapo Geinin [Hatsune Miku]
• by HobonichiP

30. 【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
• keep
