Weekly Utaran #102 (October 11-18, 2010)

[fascinates]

I'm so very sorry for the lateness! This week's Utaran can be summarized as "A pile of Matryoshka". Not kidding, although they are all amazing covers. There are quite a few new ones, most of them are dragged up from the new upload ranking to the main one. Gero's Nade Nade is out, I am disappoint. But we have a beautiful number 1 :). 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

I'll be including the weekly top ten 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!

• Please. If this wasn't number 1 I would have thrown a fit. Watching the video gave me goosebumps. Heck, even just writing about this gave me goosebumps. That's how amazing this is. I'm sure people in twitter are tired of me rambling about this song asflkhas/shuts up.

• Kuuchuu Aquarium -Band Edition- [40mP feat. wotamin]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP

• ↓12

26. 【のぶなが】Sweet Devil うたってみた
• Sweet Devil [Nobunaga]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by HachioujiP
• Nobunaga has a really nice voice and would have pulled this well if she didn't sound too...autotuned. I guess it's to hide some of the inconsistencies in the lyrics in the Vocaloid version. This is a pretty okay cover, but I guess no one can top Wotamin's yet.

27. 【赤飯×ピコ】magnet歌いました【赤ピコ飯まー☆】
• magnet [Piko x Sekihan]
• mylists: Piko; Sekihan
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by minato

28. 【将太】Perfect Crime　歌ってみた【もんちー】
• Perfect Crime [Montea x Shouta]
• mylists: Montea; Shouta
• Megurine Luka and Kagamine Len original by samfree
• When this was released in Vocaloid-dom a long time ago, people went "yabaiii" and it took quite a while before there were good covers of the song. Now we have one and while Shouta doesn't sound...shota-ish, this is really good! Montea's and his combination is pretty nice.

29. 【寝下呂企画】magnetを普通に歌ってみたはずだった【ねる×Gero】
• magnet [Faneru x Gero]
• Gero's mylist
• Hatsune Miku and Megurine original by minato

Did something happen with baru and Valshe? There's a site on baru's Top Secret description, with what's apparently an email Valshe sent her. O_o Something about their names, according to google translate.

[fascinates]

It is a website explaining Baru's name and showing the written consent she received from Valshe with regards to their names. Basically, when "Baru" started out in utattemita, she didn't know that Valshe's nickname was Baru so she received a lot of criticism. She was worried about causing trouble to the people and Valshe, so she asked Valshe for advice and explained that she didn't mean to "copy" the name (her "baru" came from "ganbaru" when she first submitted her work).

Valshe replied quickly and told her not to change her name because she thinks that the thoughts and sentiments with deciding a name shouldn't be set aside just because of a misunderstanding. She said that since she officially releases her songs as VALSHE and uses only Baru as her nickname, there shouldn't be any problem. At the same time, she apologized for causing Baru trouble because of her fans judging Baru just because of her name. She also said she wanted Baru to be recognized because of her voice and not because of her name, because her singing voice is really good.

I didn't read the whole e-mail in detail but basically, that's what it is ^^. Baru just put up the site to make sure people won't misunderstand and to tell Valshe's fans that they have reached an agreement with regards to their names. :)

oh YES YES YES synchronicity is #1!!!! It's amazing amazing amazing and totally deserves it. <33

I really like Keysuke's "Specification" too!
