NEW UPLOAD RANKING

01. 【薛南】Jutenija を多重録音で歌ってみた【民族調祭り】
• Jutenija - Setsunan
• DATEKEN original
• overall rank: 31
• This is surprisingly good. The pitching is a bit shaky at first, but as Setsunan gains momentum, the result is almost magical, especially the chorus. The instrumentation (which is a bit different arrangement from the original) helped give the song an airy feel.

02. 少女は夜と鮮やかにを歌ってみた（ｂｙレジ）
• Shoujo wa Yoru to Azayaka ni - Reji
• Matica original
• overall rank: 32
• Reji's voice here is naturally high as in most of her songs, but surprisingly, it's been cushioned a bit to sound softer than the hard guitars of the melody. It's amazing how she manages to reach all those high notes in a fast-paced song, but she does it well. The song isn't special since it sounds like most Vocaloid rock songs we have previously heard, but the traditional sound subtly mixed in the rockish sounds give it a unique feel.

03. オペラ歌手＆デスボ歌手がアナ雪「とびら開けて」コラヴｫオオオオオオ
• Tobira Akete -opera and death voice version- - Inoue Yuda and Tarachi
• original song from Frozen
• overall rank: 39
• This is the Japanese version of "Love Is an Open Door" and I have no words.

04. 【らいる】 Inner Arts 【歌ってみた】
• Inner Arts - Rairu
• Jin original
• overall rank: 41
• Rai has a gentle voice that reminds me of Amatsuki but still on a much lighter flavor. Somehow it feels weird hearing a Jin song lacking power, but surprisingly it works pretty well. He hits his notes well and he isn't afraid to stretch his voice hence he doesn't sound suppressed or breathy. It's a cover that's nice to the ears.

05. 【ゆめこ】ロスタイムメモリー【ショタってみた】
• Lost Time Memory - Yumeco
• Jin original
• overall rank: 43
• This is sung in a shota/loli voice which isn't really my cup of tea but somehow it sounds endearing especially when she starts humming randomly.

06. 【kain】　ゴーストサプリ 第2話 -副作用-　【歌ってみた】
• Ghost Supplement Dai Ni-wa -Fukusayou- - kain
• Fantastic Planets original
• overall rank: 44
• This is really nice on the ears primarily because of the soft tones of the melody (from the bass to the light guitar) and kain's softened voice. The low notes are a bit unstable, but those are far in between. The rest is gentle and somehow I don't remember kain being this good of a singer. He really has improved a lot.

07. 【アナと雪の女王】 とびら開けて　歌ってみた 【スタンガン×Galyu】
• Tobira Akete - Stungun and Galyu
• original from the movie Frozen
• overall rank: 46
• Welcome to gutterville, I mean...there wasn't a lot of singing at first but when it started it was almost amazing because of the "Ana" part's high notes.

08. とびら開けてを歌ってみた【王定六】
• Tobira Akete - Madogiwatte
• original from the movie Frozen
• overall rank: 47
• He sounds amazing to be honest. He sounds almost like those old anime singers and it's wonderful, but he's singing alone and the Ana part is mute lmao.

09. 『アナと雪の女王』「Let It Go」日本語版　全部俺
• Let It Go - Keito
• original from the movie Frozen
• overall rank: 60
• This is done in a capella with the multiple backup vocals and main vocals done by just one person. The voice is not as strong or impressive, but the fact that he can do multiple voice levels is amazing in itself.

10. 【バル】「ib-インスタントバレット-」を歌ってみた。
• ib - Instant Bullet - Baru
• Akasaka Aka original
• overall rank: 68
• I still love Baru and her vibrant vocals, and I'm glad she used a deeper voice here, but somehow it feels like she should've made her deep voice a bit fuller to match the jazz rhythms and low bass.

11. 【聖Smiley学園】Happy Chime歌ってみました☆【犬飼一美】
• Happy Chime - Kogeinu
• This is a song for St. Smiley Gakuen.
• overall rank: 70
• Somehow Kogeinu sounded more loli than shota over time it's messing with my mind LOL. This isn't very intriguing or noteworthy for me, primarily because of the overuse of cute factor and autotune. However, it can't be denied that it's an amusing thing to listen to and watch.

12. 【1人8役】 割と自由に『とびら開けて』歌ってみた 【hal】
• Tobira Akete -8 voices- - hal
• original from Frozen
• overall rank: 72
• I laughed out loud at the first part. The male voice sounds great but the female voice...but then there were more characters and I don't know anymore LOL. It's certainly one of the most entertaining covers of this song that I've heard.

13. すこし語りながら ゴーストサプリ 第1話 -正夢- 歌ってみた【あう】
• Ghost Supplement Dai-Ichi-wa -Masayume- - Au
• Fantastic Planets original
• overall rank: 80
• Au is one of the utaite I've started watching before because of the fast way she's improving with her voice control and range. This song is another proof of her constant growth. The narration was impeccably inviting, but the rising tempo and pitch of the song and the way she manages to catch up to it to a grand chorus are all impressive. She has retained her thin, girly voice from before instead of opting for a deeper register, but it works well because she sings so clearly.

14. 【栗プリン・わたあめ・sunsea・はるもにか】Parallel hearts歌ってみた。
• Parallel Hearts - collaboration
• original by FictionJunction
• overall rank: 85
This is a collaboration among Wataame, Kuripurin, sunsea, and Harmonica. I've been a fan of Wataame's solid singing and Kuripurin's thin but powerful voice so this one is a treat. It just seems that it started off heavy and they didn't manage to up the spirt of the song until the end. The song was originally dragging because of the heavy, slow vocals against the ringing melody, and somehow they made it even heavier. It's probably because of the mixing (where there is a lingering echo that makes the voices a bit blurred together). However, their range and power are still great.

15. 【歌ってみた】アナと雪の女王　生まれてはじめて【38番】
• Umarete Hajime - 38-ban
• original from Frozen
• overall rank: 91
• This is just a pleasure to listen to! It's simply sung but it sounds so pretty.
