Songs are arranged from 1-30.



01. 【IA】チルドレンレコード【オリジナルPV】
• Children Record [IA]
• by Jin
• Among all the Jin works, I think this is the one I liked best. I love the drums at the start and the not-so-fast lyrics in the stanzas. I think I also do like it because it is a mix-up of all of Jin's previous songs, which makes it kinda special.

02. 【ボカロ8人】Crazy ∞ nighT【オリジナル】
• Crazy ∞ nighT ~The Lost Libretto~ [group]
• by HitoshizukuP and Yama△
• This is similar to Bad End Night, also by HitoshizukuP, and also stars almost all of the Vocaloids. It took me a while (again) to recognize each of the voices, but I love series like this;;.

03. 【初音ミクDark】　bitter　【オリジナル】
• bitter [Hatsune Miku]
• by keeno
• keeno rarely puts out songs but each of them are so pretty;;. I've translated this song here.

04. 【ミクさんの生誕5周年をリンレン達5人と祝ってやる】Birthday Song for ミク
• Birthday Song for Miku [group]
• by Mitchie M
• This is a celebratory song for Miku's birthday and is sung by the other Vocaloids. The PV is awesome!

05. 【巡音ルカ】見世物ライフ【オリジナルPV】
• Misemono Life [Megurine Luka]
• by otetsu
• Title means "A Life of Show". Otetsu's strong guitars and familiar melody graces the top 5. Is it just me, or his Luka has become more powerful at high pitches and more emotional at her long notes?

06. 夕暮れ先生／歌、開発コードmiki
• Yuugure Sensei [miki]
• by Ishifuro
• ↵ 33 Title means "Twilight Teacher".

07. 【鏡音レン】ひとつうえのおとこ【オリジナル】
• Hitotsu Ue no Otoko [Kagamine Len]
• by Agoaniki
• I want to cry ;;; Also, they still move even if you pause ;;

08. 【鏡音リン・レン】青春ハローワーク【オリジナルPV】
• Seishun Hello Work [Kagamine Rin x Len]
• by SyujinP
• Title means "Hello Work Youth". This song is a bit different from SyujinP's mostly emotionally loaded rock ballads, and has a bit of a cheerful melody to it, which is a nice change. Len's voice overpowers Rin, and I don't know if it was intentional, but while it was a bit distracting, it gave a nice effect.

09. 初音ミク オリジナル曲　『 Strangers 』
• Strangers [Hatsune Miku]
• by HeavenzP
• ↓01

10. ■[情動クラシック]≫feat.初音ミク
• Joudou Classic [Hatsune Miku]
• by Atekosuri
• ↓03 Title means "Classic Emotion".

11. 【鏡音リン】　モンキーダンスの洗脳術　【オリジナル】
• Monkey Dance no Sen'ou Jutsu [Kagamine Rin]
• by UtsuP
• Title means "Monkey Dance's Brainwashing Art". T-the PV FFFFFFF. UtsuP's works are usually too noisy for me, but this is mysteriously catchy.

12. 【初音ミク】こちら、幸福安心委員会です。【オリジナル】
• Kochira Koufuku Anjin Iinkai [Hatsune Miku]
• by UtataP
• ↓08

13. 【初音ミク】アダチとイデ【オリジナル曲】
• Adachi to Ide [Hatsune Miku]
• by Nakanishi / PistonP
• Miku's tuning here is a bit shaky, but the melody is so cute! I thought it was an adorable song.

14. 【GUMI】 嘘つきウサギと銀の檻 【オリジナル】
• Usotsuki Usagi to Gin no Ori [GUMI]
• by KotsBeirne
• ↓02 Title means Liar Rabbit and the Silver Cage.

15. 【初音ミク】Not Gonna Dump Me
• Not Gonna Dump Me [Hatsune Miku]
• by Dixie Flatline
• Dixie Flatline comes back with another RnB-ish song, with a bit of a Western-sounding beat. It's very catchy and I loved looping it.

16. 【GUMI】星のとなりの空け者　〜カッパ〜【オリジナル曲】
• Hoshi no Tonari no Utsukemono ~Kappa~ [GUMI]
• by UramanbouP
• ↓04 Title means "Fools Beside the Stars ~Kappa~".

17. 【初音ミク】　歯車さん
• Haguruma [Hatsune Miku]
• by Okina
• Title means "Gears". I find this a bit hard to listen to at first because of the muffled high vocals that are quite hard on the ears. After a few listens, however, it grew on me and I appreciate the drumming as well as the scratchy guitars in the background.

18. 【ボカロ8人】Bad ∞ End ∞ Night【オリジナル】
• Bad ∞ End ∞ Night [group]
• by HitoshizukuP and Yama△
• ↵ 92 Thanks to the number 1 song this week.

19. 初音ミク　オリジナル曲　『ワープアンドワープ』
• Warp and Warp [Hatsune Miku]
• by Hinata Tenkou
• This reminds me so much of wowaka and Jin, with the abstract PV, the fast vocals and echoey guitars.

20. 【初音ミク】植物園【オリジナル曲】
• Shokubutsuen [Hatsune Miku]
• by Miyazawa Moyoyo
• ↑29 Title means "Botanical Garden".

21. 【GUMI】 地球最後の告白を 【オリジナル・PV付】

25. 【初音ミク】インカーネイション(2011 Mix)【オリジナル】
• Incarnation - 2011 mix [Hatsune Miku]
• by HanasoumenP
• I've heard better remixes from HanasoumenP, so this one was a bit disappointing, but Miku's tuning sounds awesome.
