Weekly Vocaran #173 (01/17-01-25, 2011)

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #173 (January 17-25, 2011)

This week's ranking has a good influx of new songs although most of those from the past week are strong enough to stay (even if pushed down a lot). There are a lot of rock songs this week, too, as well as awesomely catchy ones!

I apologize for the lack of info and comments on the PV and images. I wrote this at work and my work Mac has no Flash (yay!) so I'm using nicosound to stream the whole thing x_X;

↑# - 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

Songs are arranged from 1-30.



01. Panda Hero (GUMI) - hachi
- As expected from the hitmaker. I think this is the first time hachi has used GUMI as a soloist in his songs? The melody is typical hachi rock with the very recognizable intervals. GUMI sounds much more solid and lovely here compared to Matryoshka, with the high notes rarely sounding screechy.

02. Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya! (Hatsune Miku) - daniwellP
- ↑22 Oh my.

03. Lovelessxxx (VanaN'Ice) - natsuP
- After a long break, natsuP goes all out with another rock song by Gakupo, KAITO and Len (complete with the visual kei-ish PV). The intro is not as catchy as the previous VanaN'Ice songs, but don't be discouraged because the chorus is amazing. Also, it seems natsuP's tuning got better.

04. Strobolast (Hatsune Miku) - PowapowaP
- PowapowaP's back with a rockish beat that abruptly changes into a jazzy electronic melody with soft, gentle Miku. The beats tend to scar my ears a bit at first, but it gets better.

05. Suki Kirai (Kagamine Rin and Len) - HoneyWorks
- Title translates to "Love, Hate". Damn, Gom keeps changing his names. He did all the lyrics, arrangement and playing for this song, but his name is listed as Gom, FernandoP and GomnandoP I don't even...anyway, this is another cute couple song from him, which is a bit tsun and shoujo-ish XD. In the omnibus album that's going to be released on the 26th, ASK and Hanatan will have a cover of this song!

06. Karakuri 卍 Burst (Kagamine Rin and Len) - HitoshizukuP and やま△
- ↑08

07. Domino Taoshi (Hatsune Miku) - scop
- ↓03 Title translates to "Domino Effect".

08. Last Last (Hatsune Miku) - VocaliodP
- This is a simple rockish song with wonderful guitar melodies and very subtle drums. Miku is tuned low and while a bit rough-sounding, she's not gratingly screechy.

09. Normalize (Kagamine Rin) - Hikari Syuyo
- As with most of Hikari Syuyo's works, this is another catchy rock melody with heavy drumming and elaborate guitars right at the start. Rin is sounding better and better, especially at the elongated notes.

10. Dou Iu Koto na no? (Hatsune Miku) - KuchibashiP
- ↓02 Title translates to "What does this mean?".

11. Originality (Hatsune Miku) - Satsuki ga Tenkomouri
- Gah, one of my automatic favorites from this ranking. From the composer of "Net Game Haiji Sprechchor" is another evil, sinfully catchy song that...well, shows how originality goes...or not XDD. I'm sure you'll know when you listen. This is a sort of his tribute to...well. You'll know when you read the blurb. I am not annoying now, right? Go listen now.

12. Juu Mensou (GUMI) - YM
- ↓04 Title translates to "Ten Faces".

13. Babel (Hatsune Miku) - Atols
- A type of music I haven't heard recently in the ranking, consisting of seemingly muffled melody against Miku's very soft vocals. A nice listen if you get used to the scattered beats.

14. Hidoor Utopia (Hatsune Miku) - SeiretsuP
- ↑21

15. Yoru Machi Ruins (Hatsune Miku) - koyori
- The intro is interesting. It reminds me of Machige's and okka's works (and some of hachi's). The rest of the song is an upbeat melody with an eerie aura (and lyrics).

16. Matryoshka (GUMI x Hatsune Miku) - hachi
- ↓15

17. 6900000000 (Hatsune Miku) - (∵)KyotonP and HAMO
- This is an electronic jazz melody with very cute Miku vocals. The beat is typical but the arrangement is pretty nice.

18. Kusare Gedou to Chocolate (Hatsune Miku) - PinocchioP
- ↓01 Title translates to "Rotten Heresy and Chocolate".

19. Ue Kara Mesen (Megurine Luka) - BuriruP
- ↓16 Title translates to "View from the Top".

20. Kaeri Michi (Hatsune Miku) - FuwariP
- Title translates to "The Way Home." This one is a real treat because I love FuwariP's smooth and serene works. They have very simple melodies and arrangement, usually piano and violin tunes are only used, but they sound so awesome and relaxing.

21. Leia (Megurine Luka) - Yuyoyuppe
- ↓10

22. Kuroame no Hate ni (Hatsune Miku) - MachigeritaP
- Title translates to "At the end of the Black Rain". This is a rockish song, although slightly tamer compared to most of Machige's work. It's also not as creepy. Miku sounds awesome against the loud guitars, even at the high parts.

23. Cipher (Hatsune Miku) - FLEET
- ↓13

24. speed (GUMI x Megurine Luka) - otetsu
- ↓07

25. Mozaik Role (GUMI) - DECO*27
- ↓17

26. Poker Face (GUMI) - Yucha
- I don't know of anything else that might have pulled this up aside from Dasoku's cover ^^;.

27. Mousou Sketch (Hatsune Miku) - 40mP
- ↓05

28. Risky Game (Hatsune Miku) - KurousaP
- ↓09

29. Sadistic Love (Kagamine Rin) - Junky
- ↓06

30. Electrical Parade - Remix - (Hatsune Miku) - daniwellP
- ↓29
