- おふろ ♨ タイム -

PUPI and SunaP just announced information about their CD: enhAnce which is performed by a group called PointFive (.5). PointFive is composed of Dasoku, Asamaru, Clear, Amu, Miichan and PUPI. You might notice, if you've listened to previous lives by Pupi, that this is the "DACAMP" secret he's been discussing for about a month now ;).



The website can be found here.

The CD will have 12 songs and will be a mixture of original songs composed by PUPI, SunaP and guest producers (Nem, 40mP and RenaissanceP). The cover art, if I'm not mistaken, was drawn by Aki Akane. The CD will be released July 07, 2010 at 2,625 yen. There is already an Amazon page for it :).
EDIT: Here is the full track list of the album, plus the singers and composers involved. Some of them are covers of Vocaloid songs.

I can't wait!

Apologies for posting this a little late, I was having so much fun doing Skype karaoke with my friends. Have you ever tried singing any of the Nico Nico medleys (Ryuuseigun, Nanairo, Nijigen) in Skype call together with your friends? Ultimate chaos. I strongly suggest you try it XD.

Anyway, this batch is really different from the last. There are a lot of drops and surprising pulls to the top!

↑# - 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. 【彩】初音ミクの暴走＊歌ってみた【ななひら】
• Hatsune Miku no Bousou [Nanahira]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by cosMo/BousouP

o2. 【ヘタリア】1人で独普墺で爆乳音頭をノリノリで歌ってみた【甘め】
• [Hetalia] Bakunyuu Ondo by Germany and Prussia [Ikutame]
• singer's mylist
• I must admit the images of Prussia dancing around made me laugh.

o3. Boku-Boku .β　歌ってみた【そらる】
• Boku-Boku .β [Soraru]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by AVTechno
• I've heard wonderful covers of Boku-Boku Beta in the past, so I'm not that impressed with Soraru's cover. Still, it's pretty well done.

o4. 『きみがすき』歌ってみた　Version 将太
• Kimi ga Suki [Shouta]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by yukkedoluce
• I really love Shouta's voice :3.

o5. 【古川本舗】Good morning Emma Sympson を　うたって【みた＆ちびた】
• Good Morning Emma Sympson [Fullkawa Honpo]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by FullkawaP
• Fullkawa Honpo is composed of FullkawaP and Chibita.

o6. 「三日月ライダー」歌ってみた：Nimo
• Mikazuki Rider [Nimo]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• I have a love-hate relationship with Nimo's voice. Sometimes it's a little too high-pitched and cutesy, but there are times when she sings wonderfully. Like here.

o7. BossDeath歌ってみました【そ～ま】
• Boss Death [So-ma]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by IsoP
• There's a sudden wave of Boss Death covers, probably started by Amu's. I'm not complaining, though. I like So-ma's version because it's deep and cool-sounding, and a little different from amu's and Valshe's versions.

o8. 【エルシ】A Whole new world 2人で歌ってみた【でにろう】
• A Whole New World [Erusi and Denirou]
• mylists: Erusi, Denirou
• Instead of singing the A Whole New World Japanese version covered by Meiko and Kaito, Erusi and Denirou decided to go all out with the English cover. It's not bad at all. There are, as usual, awkward lines but the overall effect is really nice. :3

o9. 【リツカ】RX ベンゼン【なぜ歌ったし】
• RX Benzene [Ritsuka]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Len (and Rin) original by OwataP
• I've rarely heard good covers of OwataP's brainwash songs because they're too random/fast, but as usual, Ritsuka pulls it off nicely.

1o. 折れてないマイクでmugsを歌ってみた
• mugs [Dakishimete Tonight]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by FullkawaP
• This is the first mugs cover that I've heard! Well, considering the really confusing lyrics, I kind of understand. It's pretty good.

( Overall Weekly Ranking under the cut )

Not Halloween-related or supernatural or point-blank scary, but Yandelenka by Lelele-P is pretty disturbing, too ^^;.

I'm supposed to do the new stuff post every week, but things happened so it now seems that I'm doing them PER MONTH ;A;. Sorry. I am not posting the formal new stuff post now. I'm only posting new things from Nico singers we're familiar with. Nico links included, you can input them in nicosound so you can download the .mp3 file :). No youtube right now, because it slows down my BL serifu streams :3.

Little Traveler [Clear]
Originally sung by Hatsune Miku as composed by OneRoom-P. Clear is really the king of ballads for me. This is another great cover. Wotamin did the mixing for this song, too. :3.

グレア [ヲタみん]
The title reads "Glare". Originally sung by Kagamine Rin as composed by BaruP. Wotamin has a nice singing voice and while this song is not really as impressive as her other covers (like Ouka Ryouran), it's a treat to hear her sing "cool" songs instead of her usual "cutesy" ones. Valshe did the encoding for this song.

夢桜【柿チョコ×バルシェ】
The title reads "Dreamy Sakura". Originally sung by Rin and Len as composed by ひとしずくＰ (HitoshizukuP). Of course, Kakichoco is singing for Rin while Valshe is singing for Len. I like the Vocaloid version of this song, so I was thrilled when I discovered Valshe did a rendition ♥. The story of this song is of forbidden love...a bit sad: Rin's character was to be married to Gakupo's character when one night, she met and fell in love with a young violinist (Len's character).

野良犬疾走日和【じゃっく×ちょうちょ】
The title reads "A Fair Weather for a Stray Dog to Run". Originally sung by KAITO and MEIKO as composed by BosuP (I'm not writing his full name orz). 寂聴 (Jakuchou) has sung this really well. We hear Chouchou's gentle but clear voice and Jack's deep seme voice XD;. I don't know much about the song, though. I just know it's about someone who runs, LOL.

不屈の魂でごっちゃに！ [ASK]
This is a mix of different themes from anime and game. I think that about sums up what this video is about. The amazing thing is ASK sang them all (Lucky Star, Suzumiya Haruhi, etc.). ♥

トマトのうた [みーちゃん]
This is a cover of Delicious Tomato Song by Hetalia's Italy (Namikawa Daisuke) and includes part of the parody supposed to be sung by Spain. Mi-chan is really good at singing like multiple people and he is so cute. This is no exception.

アナザー：ワールドイズマイン -Band Edition-【ベェェェェジュ】
The title reads "World is Mine: Another Version". This song is composed of ryo's melody (from the original World is Mine and Anima's lyrics. Beeeeige did a good job with this.

天樂 [のど飴]
This reads as "Tenraku". Originally sung by Kagamine Rin as composed by あちゃ (Achya). Nodoame does an amazing cover again. I love this one! Well, this has been uploaded for quite sometime and I just suck at checking updates, LOL.

孤独の果て [のど飴]
The title reads as "The End of Isolation", I think. Originally sung by Kagamine Rin as composed by NEGI. Another Nodoame cover :3. I like the previous one more but this isn't shabby either.

LOVER'S QUARREL [のど飴]
This is an original song, a collaboration between Nodoame, Sunaame, pktr and HYBRID SENSE. Not bad. Commenters said it reminds them of SIAM SHADE XD.


Okay, that's it for now. ♥


BTW, I'm fixing the tagging system so no tags for now.
