original nicovideo link
Songs are arranged from 1-30.
01. Venomania no Ooyake no Kyouki (Gakupo, etc.) - mothy/AkunoP
- There was little doubt that this will be in the top 3. From producer reputation, wonderful beat, the usual catchy seductive lyrics, the dark back story, Gakupo and lovely art, this would be a hit. I have heard better AkunoP songs, but the use of a lot of Vocaloids in one song is just amazing. The ending had a HitoshizukuP feel for some reason...LOL-ing at the mosaic, though I'm sorry ^^;
02. 家に帰ると妻が必ず死んだふりをしています (Hatsune Miku) - HobohiP
- I think the romanization is "Ie ni Kaeri to Tsuma ga Kanarazu Shindafuri wo Shite Imasu", but since I'm not sure, you get the kanji title again ^^;. I heard covers of this first before I listened to the original. It sounds like...typical songs of BUMP or 19. But the theme is a bit...
03. Torinoko City (Hatsune Miku) - 40mP
- Are you getting tired of me saying this is a typical 40mP song, which makes it lovely? XD In all honesty, the melody is common to 40mP works, but the way it is delivered: slightly upbeat and lifting, with dominant keyboards and smooth bass melody put against Miku's staccato singing (notice the broken phrases) makes this interesting to listen to.
04. Mozaik Role (GUMI) - DECO*27
- ↓01
05. 7 days (Megurine Luka) - Tes.
- I don't like it when Vocaloids are used with Autotune/excessive digitizing, but this one doesn't hurt a bit. Luka still sounds wonderful despite the seemingly digitized voice.
06. The Endless Love (Hatsune Miku) - HanaSoumenP
- Typical Miku pop for me. The violin intro was nice and mysterious but it boils down to the song sounding like most upbeat Miku songs. The art is moe.
07. PARADES (Hatsune Miku) - whoo
- I love this! The instrument that made an impression on me were the drums. Very nice and dominant against the guitars/other instrument sounds. At first, the beat sounds heavy because Miku sounds so weak with it, but eventually, the melody becomes reminiscent of some kous works where Miku's whispery voice sounds good against the moderately strong melody. The beat, melody and Miku's voice sounds good, the only problem is that I don't get anything Miku is saying ^^;.
08. Ningen Nanka Daikirai (Hatsune Miku) - PinocchioP
- W-what a dark title ^^;. The PV itself and the music type is a bit dark, too. The PV simulates the song well: a mess (of colors, beats). It's like game music, but it's actually rock. Or the other way around. Either way, I have quite a hard time digesting the song since it seems so...all over the place? But Miku's solid voice holds all the elements together and after a while, it becomes bearable. Wan wan o.
09. Hello, How are you (Hatsune Miku) - Nanou/HoehoeP
- ↓02
10. Hetare?! (Hetalia Parody) - axisP
- W-wow. This made me miss Hetalia now ;_;.
11. Twinkle x Twinkle (Hatsune Miku x Megurine Luka) - EasyPop
- Another upbeat pop song with an electronic feel from EasyPop. I kind of like this more than the previous work Chip Time Disco. The colorful PVs of their works are still so catchy, though.
12. Just Be Friends (Megurine Luka) - Dixie Flatline
- ↑19 It would be nice if this went up because people actually viewed it for itself, not for trolling, but oh well ;_;.
13. Rinne (Hatsune Miku) - hachi
- ↓03
14. World's End Dancehall (Hatsune Miku x Megurine Luka) - wowaka
- ↓13
15. Tailor from Enbizaka (Megurine Luka) - AkunoP
- ↵
16. Natsu to Rouka to Hanabatake (Hatsune Miku) - MachigeritaP
- Unable to enter the previous week's ranking, this song by Machige decides to charge up now. The guitars are his usual and Miku sounds beautiful as always with an eerie streak. I can't watch it throughout the end because the wriggly PV bothers me ;_; /scaredycat. In the end I just got the mp3 LOL.
17. Out of Eden (Kagamine Len) - Kouhei
- ↓04
18. magnet (Megurine Luka x Hatsune Miku) - minato
- ↵39 Sigh. I'm happy it went up but...
19. Lady in the Singing Room (Hatsune Miku) - MachigeritaP
- It took me a while to figure out what the title is until I realized Machige put the English in the movie itself OTL. Anyway, a jazzy (?) song by Machige with not!scary art! His usual guitar melody laced with the piano-like beats sounds good and Miku doesn't even waver a bit in singing. Very nice! I'm sorry, I feel happy about this because the only time I watch Machige's videos is when he refrains from scaring people ^^;.
20. Yowamushi Montblanc (GUMI) - DECO*27
- ↓14
21. Last Night, Good Night (cover) (Kagamine Rin) - PaipanP
- A rearrangement of the original song by livetune, with Rin on vocals. She sounds a bit awkward compared to Miku's smooth vocals in the original, but it's not bad. The high parts are really shrill though ;;. Holy smokes the animation *_*.
22. Hatsune Miku ga Pi (3.14) 10,000-keta Oboeta you desu (Hatsune Miku) - daniwell
- ↓09
23. HYPERSOMNIA (Hatsune Miku) - HeavenzP
- After his beautiful "Atoms", HeavenzP's back with the same ringing, almost electronic-sounding melody. The guitars are lighter this time, though, and Miku's voice rode the melody smoothly without sounding edgy.
24. JPOP no Kashi ni Okeru "Nanika" no Sagasare Ritsu wa Ijou (Hatsune Miku) - HobohiP
- ↓10
25. OverTechnology (GUMI) - YM
- Very typical YM music, with a rather interesting concept. The monkey was both cute and creepy. LOL. Gumi sounds shaky as usual, but the beat is distracting enough.
26. My Last Gravity (Hatsune Miku) - Yuni
- The intro is soft and gentle with awesome piano music. Then it rises with richer melody, even more awesome piano melody and a vibrating rhythm that's really enchanting. The whole song itself sounds mystical in a way, simple but engaging.
27. Sekai ni Tada Hitori de (fatmanP)
- I love fatmanP's upbeat songs (especially Dancer in the Dark), but this one is also a nice ballad. A little poignant, but really nice.
28. Black Rock Shooter (Hatsune Miku) - ryo
- ↵31
29. Heart Catch ☆ Gundam (Hatsune Miku) - SerikaP
30. colors (Hatsune Miku) - KotsubanP
- ↓12

A nice ranking this week with a good balance of old and new songs, not to mention a non-Miku number 1. My favorites this week would be Torinoko City (#3), PARADES (#7), Lady in the Singing Room (#19), and Sekai ni Tada Hitori de (#27).
Just a heads up since you might not notice, but I won't be using YT links/embeds for utattemita/Vocaloid music anymore unless it's something not in Nicovideo. Some songs are being deleted off YT and IDK really how producers/singers think of people multi-posting their works in YT, so to keep it safe, I'm using the official Nico Nico Douga links forever XD;. This will also apply to my other websites (onsenjikan, etc.). Thanks!
