Weekly Utaran 108 (11/22-11/29, 2010)

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #108 (November 22-29, 2010)

This week has a lot of songs you should've checked out by now since they're almost all by popular utaite. There are some downs this week, including all of Lon's, sadly (I'm not worrying because we all know how Lon's songs are XD). There are also some new people in the ranking who you might want to check out. You might be surprised by a certain person dominating the rankings with his old, old songs, but that's fine if you like crack...and Beatles :3. This ranking is quite bewildering if you start watching/reading from the bottom, so prepare to be surprised and question reality /shot XD.

↑# - 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!

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 吊られた男と夢女  歌ってみた*鳥子
Tsureta Otoko to Yume [Toriko]
singer's mylist
Kagamine Rin and Len original by Toriko
• This is the first time I've heard Toriko sing in two voices and she sounds amazing. Or was it he? XD MyGodP's songs gives me the impression that they're hard to sing because of the fast lyrics and rock-ish beats, but Toriko sings this one almost perfectly. I was hoping this would be pushed up more.

o2. 『秘密警察』を歌ってみました。/びびあん
Himitsu Keisatsu (Secret Police) [Vivienne]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by BuriruP
• T-this is so awesome ;_;. I don't think there's anything else to say.

o3. シーフとロバの大行進。 歌ってみた-遊
Thief to Robber no Taikou (Thief and Robber's Enterprise) [Yuu]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Sudachi
• Yuu has a way of introducing less popular songs to us because of his covers, aside from covering them in the creepy, awesome way he does XD.

o4. 【全20曲】2010秋アニメの曲をまとめてコラボ
2010 Aki Anime no Kyoku wo Mamotomete Collab [collaboration]
group mylist
• W-wow. This video is a band collaboration covering all the twenty anime theme songs from the fall shows. The upload includes songs from Tegami Bachi, Motto To Love-ru, AmagamiSS, Togainu no Chi, Bakuman, Arakawa under the Bridge 2, Sora no Otoshi Mono, etc. Performers are a lot, but the singers include Denirou, Miyako, Pokki, Nejime, Lilie, taiga, Muta, Keisen, etc. This is an overwhelming 30-minute video, enjoy :D. My favorite is, no contest, Keisen's part XD.

o5. 「キャットフード」歌ってみた【柿チョコ】
Catfood [Kakichoco]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by doriko
• Doriko covers in the rankings make me so happy ;; A-anyway...Kakichoco's voice is lovelier in ballads for me and is not quite the type I'm searching for in this song, but despite that, she manages to sound the tsundere-ish, cutesy character in the song. Probably one of the best renditions of the song I've heard so far.

o6. またあしたを歌ってみた by向日葵
Mata Ashita (See You Tomorrow) [Himawari]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by FuwariP
• Himawari's ballads are always so...fluffy? because of her soft, gentle voice. The beginning was a bit too soft as she's drowned by the piano, but as the song continues, she gains momentum and keeps up with the music without exerting too much power. Really nice imo.

o7. 【HAPPY★】ハッピーシンセサイザ歌わせて頂きましたったった。
Happy Synthesizer [Amane]
singer's mylist
Megurine Luka and GUMI original by EasyPop
• First time I'm hearing this utaite, but she's really good! Her autotune also sounds good, not exaggerated, and suits Easypop's technopop beats.

o8. 【のぶなが】Winter Alice うたってみた
Winter Alice [Nobunaga]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by doriko
• Nobunaga and Guriri are really on a roll, having an upload almost every week. While I like some of Nobunaga's works, this one doesn't cut well for me, like her voice sounds too thin for the song. She still sings beautifully all throughout but something seems overdone. Or it could be me being very choosy when it comes to doriko song covers ^^;.

o9. 【茶茶子】HAKUMEI fullver.歌ってみた
HAKUMEI [Chachako]
singer's mylist
VY1 original by Onigashima
• I miss Chachako's solo works XD. Remember this anime-like song which was very popular in the Vocaloid rankings? Chachako made it even more anime-ish with her rendition. The high parts are a bit worrying because she seemed like she'll lose her voice on the way there, but she pulls through wonderfully. Somehow I'm reminded of old shounen stuff...

1o. 【ななひら】お節介な妹が毎朝起こしにきて生きるのがつらい【オリ曲】
Osekkai na Imouto ga Maiasa Okoshi ni Kite Ikiru no ga Tsurai [Nanahira]
singer's mylist
• original song by azuma and hinanosuke
• This song is part of Nanahira's first album entitled Gokigen77°↑, which was released last C77. The title translates to "My meddlesome sister wakes me up every morning, living is painful". Typical upbeat and moe-ful Nanahira song, imo.

11. 【歌ってみた】Tómur【ゆう十(と)】
Tómur [Yuuto]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by NioP
• Tómur means "empty" in Icelandic, and the poignant piano beats in the song emphasizes just that. Yuuto is someone we already often see in the ranking because of his nice covers and this one is not less than his usual wonderful renditions. It would be nice if he sang a bit gentler to reflect solitude but the more alternative approach to the song is okay anyway XD. The chorus is especially nice.

12. 「カムパネルラ」を歌ってみた。【Han】
Campanella [Han]
singer's mylist
GUMI original by Sasakure.UK
• Campanella is an adorable song but it seems very hard to cover because of the fluctuating beats as well as the effort to sound "digital" (it's a Sasakure work, of course XD). Han sounds a bit too autotuned but he doesn't sound bad. The mixing is also very well done.

13. 【巡音ルカ】『Corruption Garden』【プリコ】
Corruption Garden [Puriko]
singer's mylist
Megurine Luka original by Caz
• Puriko's voice is very thin and high and might sound a bit grating in this hard rock cover. Since most of the people who cover this Caz original usually have deep, rough voices, it might take some time getting used to Puriko's voice. Nevertheless, she did a good job reaching the high parts as always.

14. シザーハンズを歌ってみた(青もふ)
Scissorhands [Aomofu]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Nem
• Aomofu's rendition of a Nem classic reminds me of Yoru, who has the same silky voice, but Aomofu is breathier.

15. 「深海少女」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
Shinkai Shoujo (Deep Sea Maiden) [Guriri]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by YuuyuP
• Guriri gives a more hard-edged rendition of YuuyuP's song as compared to Nobunaga's softer cover. Guriri's end beats are more emphasized, and thus seemingly more powerful, although she softens up a bit at the high chorus.





OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

o1. 忙しい人のための「翼をください」を生弾き語り 【たろう16bit】
Tsubasa wo Kudasai [Tarou]
singer's mylist
• original song from K-On!!
• When I was watching the rankings and seeing almost all of Tarou's songs getting pulled up for no apparent reason, I knew it must be because there's a new song and here it is at the very top XD. I honestly do not know how to comment on Tarou's singing since sometimes he sounds so serious but sometimes he sounds so...random? XD Nevertheless, each of his song has an entertaining point, so they're all a pleasure to listen to, if you can point out the crack XD. This new song is so much like...his Let it Be cover ffffff.

o2. 【そんなふいんきで歌ってみた】いろは唄【ぐるたみん】
Iroha Uta [Glutamine]
singer's mylist
Kagamine Rin original by Ginsaku
• Wait wait, you can't be serious right? Glutamine singing such a serious song? Yeah we're serious! But he isn't serious ^^;. Have an sexy-ikemenish-scary-screamo-random Iroha Uta cover for once XDD.

o3. 愛を求めてシザーハンズを歌ってしまった。Ver.ASK
Scissorhands [ASK]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Nem
• Actually, I was expecting this to be first due to the number of times me and my friends watched, flailed and died over this song damn. Imagine listening to a song, and going "siiiigggghhhh" after listening to it. Mhm. This is also the first song Faneru mixed for upload since he returned to Nico Nico Douga. /o/

o4. 【Any】「ハッピーシンセサイザ」歌ってみた【terry】
Happy Synthesizer [Any x Terry]
• mylists: Any, Terry
Megurine Luka and GUMI original by Easypop
• This is such a surprise even for me who loves Terry O_O! I didn't expect it to be this high despite that it has such high views at first. Anyway, I haven't heard of Any that much, but Terry sounds amazing and KAITO-ish as usual here. A very cute duet even if the song is supposed to be for two girls. (I am so biased...)

o5. 忙しい人のための「大きな古時計」を生弾き語り【たろう16bit】
Ooki na Furudokei [Tarou]
singer's mylist


o6. (。・x・)つ 【キャットフード】を歌ってみた@うさ
Catfood [Usa]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by doriko
• One of the highlights of this week is Usa's Catfood, which is the best cover I've heard of this song, as far as I know. I'm reminded of her earlier Romishin and World is Mine covers XD.

o7. 【うるおぼえで歌ってみた】only my railgun【ぐるたみん】
only my railgun [Glutamine]
singer's mylist
• original song from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
↑09 Glutamine, IDK anymore.

o8. Until the Bitter End 歌ってみた__
Until the Bitter End [Fukuwa]
singer's mylist
Megurine Luka original by Sweet Revenge
↓03

o9. 【ゼブラ】マトリョシカ【はしやん】
Matryoshka [Zebra x Hashiyan]
• mylist: Zebra; Hashiyan
Hatsune Miku and GUMI original by hachi
↑11

1o. 【少年T】 GALLOWS BELL 【歌ってみた
Gallows Bell [ShounenT]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by buzzG
• It's rare for ShounenT to cover a rock song, not to mention a buzzG song. Somehow, I think it doesn't fit him because of the extra effort he has to do to imbibe force into the song despite his gentle voice, but I give him points for still sounding ikemenish good, despite the genre jump. Also, somehow, he made the song soft-sounding instead of him sounding more powerful because of the song, so I guess it's okay XD.

11. 100th記念【Just Be Friends】歌ってみました。(=どM)
Just Be Friends [doM]
singer's mylist
• Megurine Luka original by Dixie Flatline
• This is doM's 100th upload since he started as an utaite in Nico Nico Douga. Wow. Despite the autotune, doM retains his boyish, bouncy voice from his past uploads. Not his starriest cover, but the fact that it's his 100th is something to be awed at.

12. 穏やかな気分になるマトリョシカ歌ってみた
Matryoshka -gentle version- [Kyousuke]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku and GUMI original by hachi
• This is a cover of Matryoshka using Namae no Nai Uta's melody. It's pretty nice!

13. 【6ε6*】Mr.Alice を歌ってみた
Mr. Alice [6ε6*]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by okka
↑17

14. マトリョシカ 歌ってみた vip店長
Matroyshka [vip-tenchou]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku and GUMI original by hachi
↑16

15. 【歌ってもらった】君が好き【海斗】
Kimi ga Suki [Kaito]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Rerulili
• It's quite a long time since we've heard from Kaito (the last time was that parody with recog I think ^^;). This is an awesome cover of Rerulili's new ballad (not to be confused with yukkedoluce's alternative song of the same name). Very simple rendition, which makes Kaito's voice blend well against Rerulili's wonderful guitar music.

16. ゴージャスな「もののけ姫」 をピアノ独唱~俺24人で重唱
Mononoke Hime (piano arrange) [Tarou]
singer's mylist
↵24 Tarou's songs are being pulled up the rankings for a reason this week. This is the most serious and loveliest song you can get from him here I guess XD.

17. 繰り返し一粒 歌ってみた*鳥子
Kurikaeshi Hitotsubu [Toriko]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Nekomushi
• Toriko is in a roll. This is probably the loveliest cover of this song I have heard, very soft on the ears despite the rockish beat. Toriko's deep voice helped maintain the haunting feeling of the song, too. The comments say Toriko reminds them of Utada Hikaru XD.

18. 赤飯が キャンディアディクトフルコォス を歌いました
Candy Addict Full Course [Sekihan]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by MachigeritaP
↓02

19. おちゃめ機能 歌った
Ochame Kinou [Lon]
singer's mylist
Kasane Teto original by GojimajiP
↓18

2o. ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール 歌った
Net Game Haijin Sprechor [Lon]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
↓12

21. 死ぬほど低姿勢な「風の谷のナウシカ」 【たろう16bit】
Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa [Tarou]
singer's mylist
• original from Nausicaa Valley of the Wind
A rather messed up, random cover of Nausicaa's theme.

22. 罪と罰 歌った 【オリジナルPV】
Tsumi to Batsu [Lon]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by DECO*27
↓01 Down so fast?

23. 終わり行く世界と、最後の僕ら。 - 歌ってみました。
Owari Iku Sekai to, Saigo no Bokura [Konori]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by souma
• What a deep cover! It's been a while since I've heard a Konori song I like (yeah, I keep lingering to his Famima cover IDK).

24. 【ちぃむdmp☆】 噛むとフニャンをかみまみた 【歌ってみた】
Kami to Fanyan wo Kamimamita [Team dmp☆]
singers' mylist
original
• Moe-fied version of the original song complete, very cute if you like loli-voices XD.

25. 【替え歌】ポケモシカを歌ってみた by向日葵
(Parody) Pokemoshika [Himawari]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku and GUMI original by hachi
• This is a parody of hachi's Matryoshka, just Pokemon-themed. Himawari's voice is so cute ;_;. The art is wonderful, too!

26. ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール 歌ってみた【そらる】
Net Game Haijin Sprechor [Soraru]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
↓21

27. 【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 Luka original by minato
↓25

28. 【Just Be Friends】-piano.ver-を歌ってみた ver.Gero大百科
singer's mylist
Megurine Luka original by Dixie Flatline, piano version by Koman.
↵31

29. 忙しい人のための「レット・イット・ビー」を生弾き語り【たろう16bit】
Let it Be [Tarou]
singer's mylist
• original from the Beatles
I...remember this from a long time ago ;_;. FFFFF I...still laugh despite it being old LOL.

30. 和曲似合いそうな歌い手集めて「凛として咲く花の如く」歌ってみた
Rin To Shite Saku Hana No Gotoku [collab]
• As far as I know, this song frequents rhythm games. I only heard it from DDR X though. Singers for this song include Chao, Shuiro, Kakichoco, Chachako, Taihaku and A24.
↵122

* note on the isogashii series by tarou.
If you listen to the songs covered by him, you'll know why they're called as such XD. The songs are sung well but he's so busy, he only sings the first and last parts. Either that or he keeps interrupting his own singing with messages, random greetings, self-reminders, etc. like how a preoccupied person is XD. In English it'd be more like multitasking while singing or something like that. The meaning of the songs aren't that critical to the overall crack.

loool MyGodP's songs. Loool sure do brings back memories XD;
Mehh, I think Yuu really likes unpopular non-mainstream songs;; Although he did cover Matryoshka lol but most of his covers seems to be non-mainstream. Which is awesome in a way, it makes you aware how pretty those songs are*_*

...ohwao. Terry in the Overall ranking *claps*

Kaito is back *_* I haven't heard from for a long time already OTL

LOOOL LOOOL fans tsk no wonder Gero's JBF went up. Srsly, fans loool


Thanks, Nikki!

Kind of a shame that DoM had to endure some drama when he first uploaded his cover. :/ But yeah, I don't usually like DoM, but his cover is great.

Oh hey, Usa uploaded Candyland. =D It's nice hearing her without her having to sing over Miku.

Didn't expect Terry and Any's collab to be that high either. O_o Good for them though, that was a lovely cover. :)

And yeah, Glutamine's Iroha Uta is... Special. XD

[identity profile] rmarques.livejournal.com 2010-11-29 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
... Catfood, not Candyland. Where did I pull Candyland from? O_o

[identity profile] rmarques.livejournal.com 2010-11-30 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I can't read Japanese, so I can only guess, but given the change in the video, I'm pretty sure people didn't like that he originally used Yunomi's PV.

Same. =D Terry seems to be getting better at hitting high notes too, which is a definite plus.

... Yeah, that just about covers it.

I LIKE THIS RANKING :DDD ♥

MHM *w*

NUMBER FOUR~ TERRRRRY *w* XD -probably helped contribute by playing it so much- LOL I liked Terry's part best /shotbias. LOL but he and Any sounded good ^^

and Yuuto's Tómur was good~ -tries to recall what it was like- It was...rough soft? LOL contradiction. it was really pretty though~ ^^

I was really happy about T-kun covering GALLOWS BELL, but I kinda have to agree it doesn't quite match his voice...o.o -still waiting for a ver of GALLOWS BELL I really like - but I'm biased so I like it anyways~

Guriri gives a more hard-edged rendition of YuuyuP's song as compared to Nobunaga's softer cover
Ahhhh~ one of the reasons I like Guriri♪ I like how she's really powerful/edgy kind of? XD Guririiii~ -was happy to see her Shinkai Shoujo-

Ahhh I like Himitsu Keisatsu~ it's such a fun song ^^ Vivienne did a good job~~ ^^ (although my favorite is Conishi's ver...SERIFU FTW~! XD)

will comment on the rest later~ (or...if I remember...XD)

ahhh~ true, I don't have a Gallows Bell cover that I like LIKE LIKE either ;___; now that I think about it...buzzG~~ I do like them as they are...BUT I'M STILL WAITING FOR A GOOD ONE~~ ^^ (hm...I liked DakishimetaTonight (was that his name?)'s rendition of Kakurenbo~)

lol yesh she's good at that =w=b I should probably go listen to ASK later, ne~~ XD

I'm kind of disappoint that Nomiya Ayumi's Catfood didn't make it in, since hers is my favourite cover of it so far, but at the same time I kind of expected it. ;;

A satisfactory ranking for me otherwise, didn't expect Kaito so high up, but happy that he was since his Nee. got shafted last time. /orz

[personal profile] recordist 2010-11-30 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
This week's ranking made me so happyyyy ;3;

i was expecting ASK's Scissorhands to be on top, but then I listened to Tarou's songs and fffffffffff

lmao his let it be cover. i was trying so hard not to laugh at work but ffffffffff.

Terry in Number 4!? Tell me if it's a lie!!! *happydance.

Konori's Owari Iku Sekai to, Saigo no Bokura was simply gorgeous (on his own way). And pfft, that Famima theme arrange is sure hard to forget (eventhoughIlovedhisotherseriouscollabwithmachigemore.

And it's rare to find a good MyGodP's cover... That cover just blew me away, especially the serifu part.
