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.

↑# - 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!

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #101

This ranking was uploaded twice, because the first one had some problems with the data from last week (I think it hasn't been included or something). Anyway, this writeup is of the second one. I'm sorry for the lateness.

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 「天樂」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• Tengaku [Guriri]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by YuuyuP
• One of the better female renditions of this song that I've heard. It does sound like she's overexerting herself in some parts, though ;;;.

o2. 【重音テト】テトでブラック★ロックシューターつくってみた【MMD】
• Black Rock Shooter (Kasane Teto Edition) [Oyamano Mano]
• Hatsune Miku original by ryo
• 10-10-10 was Kasane Teto day, according to Nico Nico Douga and the Vocaloid-dom was busy uploading songs to commemorate the day. This is a unique one since it's a cover of Black Rock Shooter Teto version by the Oyamano Mano. Mano is the source of Teto's voicebank.

o3. 【シャノ】「君の手、僕の手」を歌ってみたよ
• Kimi no te, Boku no te [Chano]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP

• Starduster [Chomo feat. Kogeinu]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Jimmythumb

o6. ハロ／ハワユ　歌ってみた　*リツカ*
• Hello / How Are You [Ritsuka]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by HoehoeP
• Ritsuka sounds cute as usual, although not as cute as the hit cover by Kano. Somehow, she reminds me of Wotamin here.

o7. 【ぎらり】ロゼッタ、歌ってみた【秋赤音】
• Rozetta [Aki Akane]
• singer's mylist
• GUMI original by monaca:factory
• Somehow, I didn't think this would be a song fitting for Akane's voice, but I guess it's okay?

o8. 【歌ってみた】檸檬【鹿乃】
• Remon [Kano]
• singer's mylist
• GUMI original by Faye x Junky
• Kano is back with another cute song.

o9. 『Calc.』を歌わせて頂きました。【灯油】

• Bokura no 16-bit Sensou [tane x Zero]
• mylists tane; Zero
• GUMI original by Sasakure.UK

This post is kind of BL in nature.

tane

mylist | community | mixi community


Most of you who have followed the magnet bandwagon might have known tane a long time ago as 1/2 of the notorious BL magnet cover (with zero) where they included BL sound effects with the song XD. (Yup, this one here.)

Tane is, if I would follow my own categories, right in the middle of boy-next-door and so-sexy-i-can-die voices. He doesn't have an amazing range or voice control, and sounds very much like Xiao (or terry, for that matter). His covers are well done but sometimes he grapples with high parts or lengthened parts. However, he has a way of spicing up his songs with deep, sexy breaths and serifu (yup, we got a thinner-voiced Panyo here).

Aside from his songs, he has very interesting radio shows and miscellaneous uploads which include sexy sheep counting and BL serifu reading. Warning, clicking the links might induce death of your ears, ladies. The hitsuji de oyasumi also has him counting in different personas: tsundere, shota, etc. orz

sample songs
• SPICE! (original by minato)
• Another: Romeo and Cinderella (original by doriko/Anima)
• Eh? Aa, Sou (original by papiyon)
• Kutabare, PTA (original by NashimotoP)
• Yubikiri - with ZERO (original by scop)
• Choose Me - with MISAKI and Moka (original by Hyadain)

nikki says

The first time I heard tane, it was with ZERO in their magnet and I was totally floored by it. I am very picky with tane's covers because his voice doesn't fit a lot of songs, but his second voices, mixing and serifu makes his covers really irresistible it's hard not to listen to them all. Although I admit I really like his serifu uploads and radio shows :P. First time listeners to his covers/serifu uploads should be warned that he kind of shifts his voice a lot (from left to right speakers) and all of his covers should be listened to with your headphones/earphones :).

I'm really way behind ;;. I hope people are reading this even though it's late OTL. Two rankings ago, there is a new insert introduced to the ranking aside from the weekly 5 pickups. This is the "last year in top 5" segment where the top 5 songs in the ranking one year ago will be played. I guess I should be including those songs, too, but we'll see :).

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. 小鳥がry大漁のプロイセン [あとる]
• Kotori ga (ry Tairyou no Prussia [Atoru]
• singer's mylist
• original MAD
• Atoru does a lot of covers of Hetalia MADs and I while I understand the Hetalia fever Nico people have, I will never understand the MADs xDD;.

o2. 1925 [Yoru]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by T-Pocket
• This is a nice cover compared to some earlier covers of the song. Yoru just sometimes overexert her voice and it sounds a bit whiny.

o3. カナザワカレー [ななひら]
• Kanazawa Curry [Nanahira]
• singer's mylist
• This is an original song and is the usual cutesy pop song Nanahira is used to singing.

o4. envy. [セリユ]
• envy. [Seriyu]
• singer's mylist
• Megurine Luka original by 古川P (Furukawa-P)
• Seriyu has a really wonderful voice and while she sings by the book, she can still make the song interesting to listen to. Envy, however, is too slow and poignant to catch my interest. /sleepy

o5. シザーハンズ [マチゲリータ]
• Scissorhands [MachigeritaP]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Nem
• Machigerita is also a Vocaloid producer :). This is a rather sexy cover ^.^;.

o6. いろは唄 [志麻]
• Iroha Uta [Shima]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by 銀サク (Ginsaku)
• LOL I'm used to guys singing covers of this Rin song, but Shima's still amused me. It's not as sexy as, say, Clear's or Dasoku's, but it's pretty well sung.

o7. ねぇ [ヲタみん]
• Nee. [Wotamin]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by ほえほえP (Hoehoe-P)
• Wotamin has gone back to singing high ballads after her amazing cover of "Tengaku". I'm not complaining though, since her voice fits this kind of ballads.

o8. B.O.M. [tane]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Rin and Len original by マイゴッドP (MyGodP)
• Tane is back with a great cover! I really miss this guy. He's not as amazing as some of my favorites but for some reason, he always sounds good to me :3 (Well, I did listen to his sheep-counting thing sometime ago...)

o9. Fate:Rebirth [ココナシ助]
• Fate:Rebirth [Kokonashijou]
• mylists: Kokoru, Takanashi, Kiijou
• Kamui Gakupo, KAITO and Kagamine Len original by natsuP
• I love natsuP's VanaN'ice songs. This is a pretty good cover, a little lacking in punch but I might be just spoiled by VaSoClear's Imitation Black :3. I've seen quite a lot of covers for this. A new trend after Imitation Black? :P

1o. ナーバス [新社会人]
• Nervous [Shin Shakaijin]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by shizuru
• Another new name to me that I should look up XD;. This is an okay cover. Not impressive, but also not bad (well, it's in the ranking after all). I guess it's just that I listened to Anima's version before I watched this cover fully so I'm a bit biased :x.
