ATTENTION: Apparently, the MAJI LOVE COVER phase is 1000% STILL NOT OVER. So we're getting them by the bulk this week, some of them cracky, some of the....wait. ALL OF THEM CRACKY. Which is probably the reason why I'm writing in caps today. Apparently, the large amount of Maji Love I watched today has affected my cracky mentality! /shot

Seriously, though, there are only a few remaining from the previous week and there are a lot of wonderful songs this week. Of course, there's still the Shiryokukensa madness (a few), and lots and lots of collabs, which means you'll be seeing new names today :). Anyway, I'll stop rattling like a parrot and get on with the ranking.

PS: Thank you to everyone who offered their condolences and gave me comforting words during my trying days. I'm okay now, just still busy with work but I'm back online and I'll try my best to keep up with the community activity. Many, many thanks to stephieku for being patient with me even if I'm overworking her :(. So, so, sorry for the delay and angst and everything else! Next month is a new beginning /o/ ♥, nikki

What to expect in this ranking: Tons of Maji Love 1000% in all forms (parody, normal, zenbu-ore, ballad, etc.). A lot of Dakishimeta Tonight covers (yay!), A couple of Clear (yaaay!!) and some utaite we haven't heard from in a long time uploading awesome covers.

This week doesn't have a lot of new stuff but there are tons of amazing ones! There is also a large part of duets and collabs, all of which are interesting. There are a lot of returners (hi Lon, Glutamine XD) and 2 songs that came back because they reached a million views. Anyway, I'm sleepy so let's get on with it. And make sure you listen to the ED because it's awesome.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #124 (March 14-21, 2011)

There are only a few new stuff this time, because we all know how Japan is doing now. Still, there are songs worth listening to, especially our new number 1. There are some songs that pertain to a certain issue that happened recently, but I won't be explaining that here.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #121 (February 21-28, 2011)

This week retained a lot of songs from the previous ranking, but there are some new (and special songs) worth listening to. Someone dominated the rankings this week and it doesn't take much to guess who it is XD.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #119 (February 07-14, 2011)

This ranking is late by a day because of some problems in Nico Nic Douga's system (you might notice, Vocaran is late, too). This week is pretty weak in comparison to the previous weeks. There aren't many covers and there aren't covers powerful enough to topple other songs over. Which means there are some new names and songs you might have not encountered before but are worth a look! It's just unfortunate that I'm too tired to give interesting comments so sad to say, you'll be missing my spazz this week orz. I'll double the efforts next week! Anyway-----

NOTE: As of February 16, 11PM Japan time, this ranking has been edited to reflect the corrections in the nicovideo version. Due to the changes, the overall ranking has been slightly altered.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 116 (January 17-24, 2011)

This week is awesome because there are many, many wonderful covers from people we all know and love. The new number one caused a lot of songs from the same singer to return to the ranking. Some of the songs I expected to stay dropped out while some I didn't expect to excel rose far above others. I'm pleasantly surprised with some, so let's get started with this week.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #114 (January 03-10, 2011)

There aren't so many new things this week, most of them are bandwagoning to either Yuyoyuppe's or Kurousa's new songs. Anyway, there is also a certain number 1 this week that made a ton of her other works return to the rankings XD.

ETA: This has been edited to remove the ED, which was also removed in the original link.

Annual Utattemita Ranking 2010 (12-25-09 to 12-25-10)

Happy 2011! あけましておめでとうございます！

As what I've done last year, here's the writeup for the massive, massive annual utattemita ranking 2010. Since this is a large list, I won't be including some of the stuff I include in the weekly utaran. For this, I'll only be posting the Romanized/translated title of the song, the singer/mylist and the link to the original song. Since most of these songs are from the weekly utarans all throughout 2010, I'll also spare you my spazz unless I can't keep myself quiet :D. Onto the 5-part special!



PART 1
PART 2
PART 3
PART 4
PART 5

* The parts are divided in many subparts, but for the purpose of continuity, I organized my writeup differently from the order in the videos.

As I've done the past year, this will be in a different format than the weekly utaran. To create more suspense, let's write it backwards from 100 to 001 :3. EVerything will be written backwards from here on.


UTATTEMITA RANKING 2010
The main part of this special is the Utattemita Ranking 2010. This is a ranked list of the best 100 songs uploaded from 12-25-2009 to 12-25-2010 which had gained a lot of views, mylists and comments. Here is the list from 100 to 001.

( utattemita ranking 2010 )


KIRIBAN RANKS
* this list is also in reverse.

The kiriban ranks are songs that land in certain numbers in the rankings.

NICO NICO INDIES x UTATTEMITA RANKING # 01-30

This ranking include songs uploaded in 2010 and have both "Nico Nico Indies" and "Utattemita" written in their tags. Some of them are collaborations between a Vocaloid producer and an utaite. This list is also in reverse, from 30 to 01.

( nico nico indies x utattemita ranking )


UTATTEMITA VIDEOS BEST 100

You can refer to this ranking like the "overall weekly ranking" in weekly utaran. These are songs not uploaded in 2010 but have gained tons views, comments and mylists from 12-25-2009 to 12-25-2010. As expected, some of them are also the highest viewed, commented and mylisted videos of all time in this category. I did not elaborate on them like I did in the main ranking since you know most of these songs already, I bet XD. This list is also in reverse, from 100 to 001.

ENDING SONGS

These are the ending themes used in the ranking while the rest of the songs (beyond top 100) are flashed.

( ending songs )



WHEW. That took me a long time. I hope you enjoyed this annual ranking as much as I did. While I expected some songs to be in the ranking but did not end up there at all, I guess the top spots are pretty predictable, aren't they? :D
