ofurotaimu | Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 187 (May 28-June 4, 2012)

↑# - 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

I'll be including the weekly top fifteen 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. 【ルシュカ】想像フォレスト【歌ってみた】
• Souzou Forest [Luschka]
• mylist
• original by Jin
• overall rank: 31. Title means "Imaginary Forest". I felt that this rendition was full of feelings (or rather, I had many feelings while listening to Luschka). I'm very choosy with covers for this song because of the fluctuating pitches (that particularly high note in the chorus!!), but Luschka manages to sing through all those immensely high and low notes emotionally and wonderfully.

02. 『東京テディベア』をピアノアレンジして歌ってみたのですが
• Tokyo Teddy Bear [Yuudai]
• mylist
• original by neru
• overall rank: 32. ..............

03. ゆるふわ樹海ガール　歌ってみた
• Yurufuwa Juukai Girl [Madotsuki]
• mylist
• original by Ishiburo
• overall rank: 33. I'm not used to Madotsuki singing tame songs now LOL. He sounds awesome but I can't help but crack a smile at the autotuned lines XD.

04. カゲロウデイズ歌ってみた - neko
• Kagerou Days [neko]
• mylist
• original by Jin
• overall rank: 34. Title means "Heat Haze Days". Not my favorite Neko cover but probably one of my favorite Kagerou Days cover. Neko sang this rather messily that it actually sounded haphazardly done in some parts, but with the theme of the song plus those strong guitars, I think his style fit the song perfectly.

05. 【歌ってみた】 BadBye 【kradness】
• BadBye [kradness]
• mylist
• original by koma'n
• overall rank: 35. I like this so much better than krad's other song here. The autotune is so obvious but the high strung singing and the pitch control is amazing.

06. 我が社のアイドルに『如月アテンション』を歌ってもらった
• Kisaragi Attention [Yuudai]
• mylist
• original by Jin
• overall rank: 36. ....I'm speechless ok.

07. 『東京テディベア』を歌ってみた by 石敢當
• Tokyo Teddy Bear [Ishigantou]
• mylist
• original by Neru
• overall rank: 37. I've heard a lot of Tokyo Teddy Bear covers but this is probably one of the cleanest renditions I've ever heard. Gantou's solid voice just rings through the song without any hint of roughness or difficulty.

08. 【歌ってみた】 BUNKA開放区【kradness×れいちゃる】
• BUNKA Kaihouku [kradness x Leychal]
• kradness; Leychal
• original by Wonderful Opportunity
• overall rank: 39. Title means "BUNKA Liberalization District". I didn't like this much because the autotune practically made their voice indistinguishable :(.

09. smiling~ZER☻ Edition~
• Smiling ~Zero Edition~ [collab]
• original by halyosy, that, is
• overall rank: 40. This is a collaboration including Galyu, Koppe, Eve, TAKARA, Chiruri, Kart, Kumakuma, nady, Darumaya, S!N, Renoa, Konoi, YOME, MA-NA, Minipuni, Riu, Mihomi, Keropi, yu-k@, Ashikubi, Sakuno, 38ban, and chiwiko.

10. 【すぃ】 ぼくらのレットイットビー【歌いました】
• Bokura no Let It Be [Swy]
• mylist
• original by HarryP
• overall rank: 43. Swy just keeps getting better and better each time we hear him, huh? His slightly rough boyish voice gives his rendition a rather cryful feeling, it's so nice ;;

11. ラットが死んだ　うたった【SymaG】
• Rat ga Shinda [SymaG]
• mylist
• original by ych
• overall rank: 46. I don't know why, but I reaaaally liked this! I think SymaG's voice fit the song really nicely.

12. カケヒキゲーム　歌ってみた　ver.鎖那
• Kakehiki Game [Sana]
• mylist
• original by TakanonP
• overall rank: 50. Sana's voice is so cute, but she loses control at some parts. Still, the solidness of her singing is pretty impressive.

13. アイドルになった俺が『如月アテンション』歌うとこうなる。
• Kisaragi Attention [takukobuu]
• mylist
• original by Jin
• overall rank: 52. This is kinda amazing in so many ways, but especially the adlibs XD.

14. 「アイロニ」を唄ってみた【廃】
• Irony [Sutari]
• mylist
• original by scop
• overall rank: 53. This is my first time hearing of his name. However, I like the breathless way he sings the lyrics, not like he's chasing after the lines, but rather as if he fades his voice at the ends of his lines. It's kinda cute.

15. 如月アテンション　歌ってみましゅた【じゅん☆じゅん】
• Kisaragi Attention [Jun☆Jun]
• mylist
• original by Jin
• overall rank: 54. Junjun kinda sounded like KK and Amatsuki cross here O: ...or it might just be me...

OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

01. 【そんなふいんきで歌ってみた】glow【ぐるたみん】
• glow [Glutamine]
• mylist
• original by keeno
• This is unbelievable. That is all XD;.

02. 恋愛フィロソフィア歌ってみた　ver96猫
• Ren'ai Philosophia [96neko]
• mylist
• original by KurousaP
• Title means "Philosophy of Love". I am not an avid 96neko listeners but I enjoy her covers so much because of the variety and adlibs. This is one of her more serious covers but it was sung beautifully. So sassy, I must say she rivals Yamai as my favorite singer for this song.

03. 『アイロニ』を歌ってみた【ヲタみんver.】
• Irony [wotamin]
• mylist
• original by scop
• Wotamin preferred a quiet and gentle rendition to match the initial acoustic melody and she sounds lovely.

04. アイロニ　歌ってみた【そらる
• Irony [Soraru]
• mylist
• original by Scop
• This is surprisingly endearing to me, which is saying something since I'm not a Soraru fan at all.

05. 兄妹で『嗚呼、素晴らしきニャン生』を歌わせて頂きました。灯油×優
• Aa, Subarashiki Nyansei [Touyu x Yuu]
• Touyu; Yuu
• original by Nem
• I totally didn't expect a Touyu cover of this...

06. 秘密遊戯歌ってみた【りぶ】
• Himitsu Yuugi [Rib]
• mylist
• original by Task
• Title means "Secret Game". I didn't like how Rib swallows some of the lyrics sometimes, but Rib's vocal power is just awesome.

07. 【イカサマ⇔カジノ】　歌ってみた　蛇足×【蓮】
• Ikasama⇔Casino [Dasoku x REN]
• Dasoku; REN
• original by HitoshizukuP x Yama△
• Another 1122 collab. Dasoku finally got some of REN's tension and sounds increasingly pumped up in this song XD;

08. 【Da-little】Mr. Wonderを歌ってみた【takamatt】
• Mr. Wonder [Da-little]
• mylist
• original by takamatt
• I like this a lot! It's so smooth and effortless.

09. 【赤飯】エイは育ち、僕はプロポーズに鉄を曲げる　歌いまし【裏マンP】
• Ei wa Sodachi, Boku wa Propose ni Kurogane wo Mageru [Sekihan]
• mylist
• original by Ie no Ura de Manbou ga ShinderuP
• I didn't recognize Sekihan at first ^^;. L-lol.

10. モノクロスロード歌ってみた【天月＆みどりいぬ。】
• Monocross Road [Amatsuki x Midoriinu]
• Amatsuki; Midoriinu
• original by ArieP
• This is so cute ; ~ ; . I can't....it's adorable. They both have super gentle voices to they should've have fit the powerful guitar rock melody but fffff. Somehow it worked (for me).

11. ☪『334人の敵』　歌って㋯㋟。
• 334 hito no Teki [Amatsuki]
• mylist
• original by KonataP
• Title means "Enemy of 334 People". Ahahahaha :'D I think by now everyone knows what I think about Amatsuki covers :3.

12. 『恋愛フィロソフィア』を歌ってみた@ヤマイ
• Ren'ai Philosophia [Yamai]
• mylist
• original by KurousaP
• Probably the perfect cover for this song as of now for me. Yamai's deep, sultry voice fits Kurousa's jazz and sexy music so well (remember Risky Game?). Unlike others, she didn't sound rushing through the lyrics but emphasized each word effortlessly.

13. 『Rainy,rainy,rainy.』を歌ってみた【ヲタみんver.】
• Rainy, rainy, rainy [Wotamin]
• mylist
• original by TaP
• I don't like wotamin's renditons of RnB-ish songs, so I didn't enjoy this one. However, I like her solid voice and high notes at the chorus.

14. 恋愛フィロソフィアを歌ってみた【nero】
• Ren'ai Philosophia [nero]
• mylist
• original by KurousaP
• Nero's deep voice fits the song pretty well, I think he has a knack for singing jazzy, RnB songs anyway XD. Those long notes at the end of the chorus, wow.

15. 如月アテンションを歌ってみた　あやぽんず＊
• Kisaragi Attention [Ayaponzu*]
• mylist
• original by Jin
• I didn't like how Ayaponzu used a super loli voice here since I believe it can be sung with a lower, fuller voice. Still, her high notes are amazing.

16. 【如月アテンション】歌ってみた　＠ゆいこんぬ
• Kisaragi Attention [Yuikonnu]
• mylist
• original by Jin
• Those high notes O: ! I'm not a sucker for high, loli-sounding voices but w-wow.

17. (｡･ｘ･)つ【恋愛フィロソフィア】を歌ってみた＠うさ
• Ren'ai Philosophia [Usa]
• mylist
• original by KurousaP
• I'm glad Usa used a deeper, fuller voice for this jazz number but she sounds a bit too energetic for the rhythm or is it just me? Or maybe I was too used to the Vocaloid version ^^;.

18. 「ねぇ。」　　歌ってみた　【蓮】
• Nee [REN]
• mylist
• original by Nanou/HoehoeP
• REN kind of held back here, didn't he? He sounds less high-strung and emotional compared to his previous ballads. Still, a gentler cover by him doesn't sound bad at all!

19. 【影踏みエトランゼ】おにぎりエトランゼ歌ってみた=ふぁねる【替え歌】
• (Parody) Onigiri Etranger [Faneru]
• mylist
• This is a parody of the original by Substreet
• Title means "Shadow-stepping Stranger". Hahaha fff IDK I should be commenting about how Faneru handled the fast lyrics wonderfully but fffff the video and the lyrics.

20. 『恋愛フィロソフィア』を歌ってみた★実谷なな
• Ren'ai Philosophia [Mitani Nana]
• mylist
• original by KurousaP
• Title means "Philosophy of Love". Mitani Nana's powerful voice rings through this song. She sounds awesome as usual but it would've been better if she sounded more sultry or sang with a deeper voice. Her vibrant voice drowned the jazz melody a bit, too.

21. 如月アテンション guitar arrange ver 歌ってみた【鹿乃】
• Kisaragi Attention -guitar arrange ver- [Kano]
• mylist
• original by Jin, guitar arrange by Osamuraisan
• I'm not very fond of Kano's small voice so I don't think I can give it the appreciation it deserves :(. She sounds a bit shaky but her high notes are solid, though.

22. 【Ib】　絵？あぁ、そう。歌ってみた ver96猫　【替え歌】
• (Parody) E? Aa, Sou [96neko]
• mylist
• This is a parody of Ib using the original by papiyon
• ↓04

23. bouquet歌ってみた…。【ゆう十】
• bouquet [Yuuto]
• mylist
• original by doriko
• I haven't liked a single "bouquet" cover because I'm very biased towards the original, but this one has all the right emotions at the right time and is just...beautiful ;;.

24. モザイクロール　歌ってみた
• Mozaik Role [Funiimouto]
• mylist
• original by DECO*27
• ↓17

25. 歌の雄大お兄さんがニャル子さんOP歌おうとしたら大変なことに
• Haiyore! Nyaruko-san OP [Yuudai]
• mylist
• Yuudai is having so much fun doing specially interesting songs, it seems? XD

26. 『如月アテンション』を歌ってみた by 石敢當
• Kisaragi Attention [Ishigantou]
• mylist
• original by Jin
• A straightforward but really nice cover of this well-covered song.

27. Bad Apple!! 歌ってみた【リツカ】
• Bad Apple!! [Ritsuka]
• mylist
• original arrangement
• ↑61

28. 【そらる】とても痛い痛がりたい　歌ってみた【ろん】
• Totemo Itai Itagaritai [Soraru x Lon]
• Soraru; Lon
• original by EZFG
• ↓01

29. 【歌ってみた】　　「Ｍ」　　【演奏してみた】
• M [Nodoame]
• mylist
• This reminds me of KK's "N"...a-anyway, the PV is so cute ;;. Nodoame sounds a bit echoey here and didn't match the tamer parts of the song, but the chorus is a winner.

30. .:+・ﾟ・✽Mr.Music 歌ってみた【潤笹天菜琉炭遊】✽・ﾟ・+:.
• Mr. Music [collab]
• original by Rerulili, et. al.
• This is a collaboration including JUN.H as Miku, Seinaga as Luka, Kanzukiama as Rin, Nano as Miku Append, Yuzurui as Len, Saida as GUMI and atU as Yuki.
