Weekly Utaran 109 (11/29-12/06, 2010)

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #109 (November 29 to December 06, 2010)

This is late (and the rest might be late, too) because of certain difficulties as I have no Internet at home and my work has blocked Nico Nico Douga. I apologize for delays in the future, too, if this kind of fail happens for a long time OTL.

Anyway, a big thanks to [personal profile] stephieku and the person who uploads the weekly utaran himself (who is so kind, I don't even...), I managed to get the ranking list and just...listened to them one by one instead of the ranking itself. I might miss some comments re: some of the songs, so sorry ;;. Anyway, on to the ranking, which is pretty predictable given the songs released this week :). There are tons of new songs, there wasn't much space for the oldies to cling on :(.

PS: The Vocaloid links in the blurbs inevitably lead to nicosound because it's what I used to listen to the songs ^^;. I'll try changing them but for now, please tolerate them Y_Y; Hopefully fixed the links back to Nicovideo.

↑# - 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

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

01. 【栗プリン】「crack」を歌ってみた。
crack [Kuripurin]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by keeno
• One of Kuripurin's good points is that she sings her words clearly and effortlessly reaches high notes despite that.

02. 【5コマスベリ】escapadeを歌ってみました!【佳仙】
escapade [5comasuberi x Keisen]
5coma mylist, Keisen mylist
Kagamine Rin and Len original by oORaikaOo
• My first reaction was what the hell, Keisen's screams! This is an amazing song for many reasons: the unlikely pairing, the super high Keisen that blows people away as usual, 5coma's rare cool voice, among other things. Also, some people might know that 5coma was recently married to an illustrator who draws him and Panyo together ww so, is this his first upload as a married guy?

03. かくれんぼ歌ってみた【まほら】
Kakurenbo [Mahora]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by buzzG
• Mahora's vivid voice fits well against the strong guitars of this song. This is possibly one of the better female covers I have heard.

04. 「修羅ノ庭」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
Shura no Niwa [Guriri]
mylist
Kagamine Rin original by Wonderful Opportunity
• This is a good cover as opposed to Guriri's uploads lately. The screams aren't overdone but a bit pinched with effort. While I like Guriri's voice very much, I feel she's updating too much recently that some of her songs sound half-done. But either way, it doesn't change the fact that she did very good here.

05. ポーカーフェイス 歌った@りょーくん
Pokerface [Ryoukun]
mylist
GUMI original by Yucha
• When I first saw a male utaite tweeting about Poker Face, I immediately went "You mean Lady Gaga's??" and regretted it after. Anyway, this is a song I like more than Gaga's song. Ryoukun's voice didn't seem to encompass the guitars and drums and sounded a bit weak against the melody, but it sounds okay.

06. Blackjack - 歌ってみました。
Blackjack [Konori]
mylist
Megurine Luka original by Yucha
• Konori covers this sexy jazzy song in his own creepy way complete with semi-screamo!monster voice XD. It's very interesting.

07. 【Φ串Φ】「Perfect Crime」歌ってみた【ココリーヌ】
Perfect Crime [Kushi x Cocorinu]
Kushi mylist, Cocorinu mylist
Kagamine Len and Megurine Luka original by samfree
• It sounds weird to hear this song being sung by two girls but it still is a nice listen. Kushi's voice is unexpectedly good here, especially since I mostly only hear her covering rock songs.

08. 【初音ミク】ショットガン・ラヴァーズを歌ってみた*LIQU@。
Shotgun Lovers [LIQU@]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by NoboruP
• I miss Liqu@'s songs, although this is not really what I expected for her to cover XD. She pulled this through well, but I feel a bit iffy with the backup vocals and the forced screams.

09. 【コラボ】この狭い鳥籠の中で【歌って演じてみた】
Kono Semai Torikago no Naka de [collaboration]
• original song by Sound Horizon
• This is a beautiful collaboration including KuroganeZ, Fukuwa, Jaku,
Mameyarou, etc.

10. 【ポーカーフェイス】歌ってみた★シト
Poker Face [Shito]
mylist
GUMI original by Yucha
• I can't help but enjoy this cover because of the good backup vocals and snappy singing. She reminds me of Kurenai and slightly, a tamer Aki Akane XD.

11. 【替え歌】 俺と妹 / recog 【俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない】
(Parody) Ore to Imouto [recog]
mylist
• This is a parody of the anime Oreimo, lyrics and music by SukeP.
• I'm somewhat used to recog's anime and tamer covers (LOL Double Lariat 00 Raiser) but I still don't get much of the humor. So much to learn ;;.

12. 「ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール」を歌ってみました。
Net Game Haiji Sprechchor [AtarimeP]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomouri
• FFFF After a long time fff. Okay, I'm willing to ignore the autotune effect because this cover, while very simple compared to other covers, is really good! Add the fact that Atarime rarely uploads his own covers. Now I want to watch that Daikaigi with him so badly...

13. 【NNI】 青い狂気の薔薇と血と愛した貴方 【オリジナル曲】
Aoi Kyouki no Bara to Chi to Aishite Anata [Konori]
mylist
• This is actually under the Nico Nico Indies category, being an original song. We have a double creepy/screamy Konori this week and it makes me happy XD. The melody is wonderful especially the drums and the piano melody in the middle.

14. 【蓬猫】 モザイクロール 【一人バンドセッション】
Mozaik Role [Yomogineko]
mylist
GUMI original by DECO*27
• Pretty awesome cover here. Yomogineko is mostly a musician so you see him often in ensoushitemitta category than utattemita.

15. おっさんだけど キャットフード 歌いたかった。□しろくろ■
Catfood [Shirokuro]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by doriko
• Shirokuro's name originally reminds me of cats so I'm amused to hear him covering this song. He sounds like a cat with a burning passion here XD;.




OVERALL WEEKLY RANKING

01. クリスマス?なにそれ美味しいの?【ヒャダイン】
Kurisumasu? Nani sore oishii no? [Hyadain]
mylist
• Hyadain is back, this time with a really heart-wrenchingly funny (wait, that sounds wrong) Christmas theme XD. The song is mainly about one's frustrations during Christmas. I've seen quite a bit of debate in a YT upload of this mainly because the song is mostly about not having a girlfriend on Christmas, which is off to some who live in Christian countries. Japanese Christmas is not a holiday, it's a commercial celebration. Most of the time, friends and lovers go out and gather to celebrate together as opposed in some countries where Christmas eve/Christmas is a strict family event.

02. 【銀魂】パフェマヨリョシカ【歌ってみた】
Pafemayoneshka [Ahou no Sakata x A24]
Ahou no Sakata mylist, A24 mylist
GUMI and Hatsune Miku original by hachi
• This is a Gintama parody of Matryoshka, which I've been waiting for some time XD (hey come on, they made covers of all bandwagon songs, so this should have one, too! :P). As usual, Ahou no Sakata's Gintoki voice is so awesome, but I have a soft spot for A24's Hijikata <33. I wasn't expecting this to be this high, but I guess I'm not the only one who was waiting for this XD Now, Urata and A24 please...

03. 【蛇足】リンネ【歌ってみた】
Rinne [Dasoku]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by hachi
• |3 ... This is probably the only Rinne cover that rivals my favorite (KuwagataP's). I've missed Dasoku's covers where he uses a lot of force and I was expecting him to go near!screamo in this one, but I guess a suave cover isn't bad either. This song was mixed by PUPI, by the way.

04. 【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
↑25

05. 【Piano ver.】『Calc.』を歌ってみた【ヲタみんver.】
Calc. -piano ver- [Wotamin]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by JimmythumbP
• The piano version is, as always, by Koman. Wotamin's gentle voice fits the piano melody so much. Her JBF -piano version- a long time ago wasn't very impressive but this is dramatic and smooth.

06. 「深海少女」を歌ッテミタ。らむだーじゃん
Shinkai Shoujo [Rumdarjun]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by YuuyuP
• Rumdarjun has very simple covers, not using any sort of serifu or styles or randomness when he sings (very much like ShounenT's early uploads). I guess that what makes his covers wonderful. He sounds so pure ^^

07. TENGA
Tenga [vip-tenchou]
• This is a parody of "Melt" by ryo.
• D...IDK. The song/video is slightly nsfw depending on how much you and your family/classmates/workmates know.

08. ふしぎにゃくすり あいうえお ▼
Fushigi Na kusuri Aiueo [Kuroneko]
mylist
• I'm sorry I don't know much about this ;; (and I cannot watch the video, too) b-but I can't help bursting out laughing when I heard this asflkh

09. DYE 歌ってみた__
DYE [Fukuwa]
singer's mylist
• Megurine Luka original by AVTechNo!


10. 【謎の人物K】fake or fate?/巡音ルカ【歌ってみた】
fake or fate [Nazo no JinbutsuK]
mylist
Megurine Luka original by maya
• This gives off Sound Horizon-ish vibes and sounds really wonderful, but then I like most of K's works :3.

11. キャットフードを食べれないけど 歌ってみた(。≖ˇェˇ≖。)
Catfood [96neko]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by doriko
• What a sexy cover. It kind of reminds me of Yamai's EAS.

12. 【弾き語り風】 なまえのないうた 【少年T】
Namae no Nai Uta [ShounenT]
mylist
Kagamine Len original by DATEKEN
• As expected of ShounenT, he gives a very soothing acoustic cover, which might be my favorite cover next only to Riseha's.

13. 【che:櫻井】 Corruption Garden 【L.I.N.E feat.Caz&地味侍】
Corruption Garden [L.I.N.E.]
che:sakurai's mylist, HYBRID SENSE's mylist
Megurine Luka original by Caz
• This my favorite cover of Caz's song ever ;_;. I can't stop listening to this since it was released. che's vocals are not too loud, not to screechy, just right with enough force to give justice to the rock song. Caz also played the guitar for this cover.

14. 【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
• 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.

15. 【自分なりに】マトリョシカ【歌ってみた】
Matryoshka [Debesuke]
community
GUMI Hatsune Miku original by hachi
I actually...do not know why this is up...

16. 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!!
↓01 Somehow, ofurotaimu people in twitter became too addicted to Tarou's covers and kept looping them for days ^^;;;. This is one of the easier to understand crack from him, despite the Japanese lyrics (come on, don't tell me uni, kani, etc. didn't make you laugh!).

17. サイノウサンプラー 歌ってみた【そらる】
Sainou Sampler [Soraru]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by koyori
• At the intro I was expecting him to use autotune again and I was pleasantly surprised that he didn't! He sounds so much better without it, not to mention the emotion expressed is deeper, imo. Not my favorite Soraru cover but it's pretty nice.

18. 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
↓14

19. 【Vin】 cry 吐いて叫んでみた 【neko】
cry [Vin x neko]
Vin's mylist, neko's mylist
Megurine Luka original by Yuyoyuppe
• CRY is my favorite Yuyoyuppe cover ever, and even if I don't like screamo much, I'm very impressed by this cover (I'm biased towards neko but here I'm just awed by both of them). My first impression was "WTF is this collab asflkh my ears will be killed!" It was true, but it was a happy death :P.

20. 【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
↓07

21. 『ポーカーフェイス』歌ってみたり。【きー助】
Poker Face [Keysuke]
mylist
GUMI original by Yucha
• I'm so happy to see this in the ranking because it's one of the Poker Face covers I thoroughly enjoyed. Keysuke's voice is not very forceful or polished but he sounds wonderful here.

22. 【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
↓04

23. シラフのままカラオケで歌ってきた
Shirafu no Mama Karaoke de Utattemita [Kogeinu]
mylist
• Basically Kogeinu letting it all out in karaoke XD.

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

25. 【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
↓09

26. 【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
↓02

27. 【F9】 ダスト 歌ってみた
Dust [F9]
mylist
Megurine Luka original by KuwagataP


28. 【オリジナル】champagne gold spangle【stiRise】
myspace
• This is stiRise's first (?) upload as a unit. This is originally for Nico Nico Indies, but has crossed over to utattemita due to the singers. stiRise is composed of Kettaro, Beeeeige, ORYO and shige. The song itself is a nice jazzy melody with slightly rock-ish beats. Beeeeige's voice fits the music very well. Kettaro's rapping is sorely missed, but he made it up with slightly edgier vocals that work well with Beeeeige's deep, smooth one.


29. 『え?あぁ、そう。』を歌わせて頂きました。【灯油】
Eh? Aa, Sou [Touyu]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by papiyon
• Touyu always surprises me with random covers, this high-pitched, high-strung EAS cover is definitely unexpectedly amusing. XDD;

30. 君が居たから、Tómur 歌ってみた
Tómur [mado@jishalilo]
mylist
Hatsune Miku original by NioP
• I'm not used to hearing Mado sing in Japanese so the lack of "in English" in the title surprised me.

history
1. Ura Omote of Nights (Kettaro)
2. Bokura no 16-bit Sensou (Ten x Valshe)
3. Fate: Rebirth (ASK x Aerogel x YU)
4. Romancing Saga's "Choose Your Future" (Hyadain)
5. Bokura no 16-bit Sensou (Choucho x TEST)

This my favorite cover of Caz's song ever ;_;. I can't stop listening to this since it was released.

When I saw this. Oh man, I already had a bad feeling. I was already preparing my apology speech towards Vin's cover.
Then I heard it. *sighs* I'm sad to admit that I WAS FRIGGIN BLOWN AWAY.
I'm really weak against background singing.... so it was awesome ; w;
