Wotamin/ヲタみん

mylist | community | blog | mixi | twitter

I'm sure everyone knows about Wotamin, may it be from her solo works or her collaborations with Clear. Wotamin, or MinMin as her fans and friends call her, has been utaite since her May 3, 2008 debut. Wotamin is very active in uploading songs in Nico Nico Douga, her blog and her Twitter. She makes it a point to hold a live everyday for her fans.

Wotamin's voice has a wide range. She can sing low songs but she can hit high notes too. Wotamin can sing in any genre but she specializes in upbeat songs more but her ballads like Starmine and Proof of Life are also worth a listen. For me, her voice really fits the cutesy songs a lot. Wotamin has also covered an English song, Britney Spear's Everytime. You have to join her community to listen to it. Her pronunciation is surprisingly good. If you would check her old uploads and compare it to her new ones, you would hear how Wotamin has improved in her singing.

Wotamin is a mixer as well. She has mixed songs for Clear as well as her own songs.

Wotamin's covers has been included in a lot of albums like Celo Project's releases, however, we have yet to see Wotamin join concerts. As far as I know, she has mentioned that she doesn't really want to be in concerts.

In her lives, Wotamin usually does whatever she is in the mood for that day. She sings songs of her favorite artists like Utada Hikaru and Shiina Ringo or talk about random stuff (like her cat, Hana, forexample) or even play games. Wotamin also does lives with other utaite like Da-Little and Meeko. She sometimes join Asamakku in Tetris.

For more information about Wotamin, [personal profile] fascinates translated her Ameba profile here.

It took me a hard time choosing sample songs for Wotamin since I am biased and I like all of them. But I'll go for the popular ones.

len says

Wotamin is, without a doubt, my favorite utaite. THe first time I heard Wotamin sing was in ggrks with Clear. (Nikki recommended it.) I instantly fell in love with the cuteness of her voice. Eventually, I fell in love with her ballads as well and admired her ability to sing different kinds of songs. My favorites are Yowamushi Montblanc, Proof of Life and Starduster. (Starduster was only uploaded in her blog and Twitter but it's a really sweet cover.)

When Wotamin sings, I can feel the emotions she put into it. Like in Proof of Life, I could feel the sadness of the song.

Most of all, I love Wotamin's sweetness and cuteness. Listening to her lives, she really treausres her fans. She even sang Happy Birthday to one of her fans. :)

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #113 (December 27, 2010 - January 03, 2011)

The first ranking of the new year! This week has a lot of movement because while there are new uploads, a lot of the previous week's hits managed to stay in the ranking for this week. There's a bit of a problem in the new upload ranking since the list in the mylist and in the video do not match, so at the moment, I'm waiting for confirmation/correction from the Weekly Utaran uploader. Very sorry about that! Anyway, geh, I can't say anything suspenseful since this week MIGHT be predictable to some of you ^^;.

The discrepancy has been clarified, thank you as always to @weekly_utaran


↑# - 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!

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.

kiriban ranks )


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.

best 100 )


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

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #112 (December 20-27, 2010)

This is the ranking for Christmas week, which means there are tons of Christmas-related songs and parodies. Surprisingly, the top ones are very predictable since they haven't been toppled since last week, just rearranged a lot. Still, there are many interesting uploads this week, a rather big influx of parodies, and returners you wouldn't expect at all.

↑# - 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!

Utattemita Ranking #110 (December 06 to 13, 2010)

This week has a lot of movement from old songs, some returners and some expected rises. There are a lot of new songs to check out, but sadly, a lot of great songs from last week disappeared (where's my Keisen x 5coma collab ;_;). Anyway, this is a satisfactory ranking with a balanced entry of new songs and retaining of old ones. You might also notice a little change: I included the link to the writeup of the ranking in the "history" section so you can check out what other songs were popular in that ranking a year ago :). Enjoy!

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.

Weekly Utaran #103 (October 18-25, 2010)

This week is an extension of even more Matryoshka bandwagoning and people trying to unleash the MMORPG gamers/singers in them. And new names, you might be surprised :). Someone decided to flood the rankings with his weird yet well-done covers, wonder who that is? XD

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 【Vin】Corruption Garden【吐いてみた】
Corruption Garden [Vin]
singer's mylist
Megurine Luka original by Caz
• This is actually the first male cover of this song that I've listened to, and I think Caz's song has been upped in GAR points by Vin ^^;. I don't usually like screamo, but wow, wth was that. I guess people have also been checking Vin after he was announced as a guest in a mini-concert next year :).

o2. 追跡立方体、キューブ 歌ってみた-遊
Tsuizeki Rippoutai, Cube [Yuu]
singer's mylist
Kagamine Rin original by NankaisekaiP
• I haven't gotten used to Yuu's voice, but I also haven't gotten to his choice of songs LOL. It's always creepy though XD.

o3. 【つきじ】「また君に恋してる」歌ってみた
Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru [Tsukiji]
singer's mylist
• This reminds me of old anime ;_;. The voice is really pretty, too! Like...Okiayu Ryoutarou.

o4. 「Sweet devil」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
Sweet Devil [Guriri]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by HachioujiP
• I actually like this better than Nobunaga's version. There's still a mountain of autotune in this song, which can't be helped, but Guriri sounds more solid and more refined. There's a bit of awkwardness with the phrasing but you can't help getting confused with the Engrish in this song ^^;.

o5. 「after this」歌ってみた@そらこ
after this [Sorako]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by NioP
• I haven't heard from Sorako much before this so I'm kind of glad she's uploading pretty covers again. Her high voice suits NioP's Miku range, although sometimes a bit missing from her cover. Very simply sung, which makes it a nice listen.

o6. 「Specification」歌ってみた【柿チョコ】
Specification [Kakichoco]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by papiyon
• One of the clearest covers of this song that I've heard. Kakichoco nailed the song and how to make it sound crisp and clear and full of feelings without effort.

o7. 【APヘタリア】アメリカとイギリスでマトリョシカ【歌ってみた】
(Hetalia Parody) Amerika to Igirisu de Matryoshka [collaboration]
Hatsune Miku and GUMI original by hachi
• Here comes the anime!Matryoshka bandwagon. I find them really amusing for some reason, the serifu especially.

o8. 声 - 歌ってみました。
Koe [Konori]
singer's mylist
Kamui Gakupo original by TambourineP
• Konori does Gakupo really well as always, although I have to remind myself to separate him from Machige's creepy works as I listen.

o9. 「ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール」 辻ヒールしてみました
Net Game Haijin Sprechor [Boku]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
• Reminds me of Nanahira, just one the more shriller level LOL ^^;

1o. 「ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール」歌ってみた。 ver.こ~ら
Net Game Haijin Sprechor [Ko~ra]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
• Ko~ra has a nice voice that I wouldn't think would sound good in rock-ish songs but he actually did the song well.

There are a lot of new songs this week with a couple of mysterious pull ups from nowhere, but that's fine. Quite a lot of Calc., Rinne and Matryoshka covers but not as many as before. This is a pretty interesting ranking if you're looking for variety. Also, it seems that two people have celebrated their utaite anniversary this week :).

↑# - the song moved up from a previous top 30 rank

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 『グリグリメガネと月光蟲』 たぶん自分が歌ってみた。
Guri Guri Megane to Gekkochuu [Tabun Jibun]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by FullkawaP
• I honestly think that Tabun Jibun's voice fits this type of songs best.

o2. 【のぶなが】グリーンストレート うたってみた
Green Straight [Nobunaga]
singer's mylist
GUMI original by LiveP
• Nobunaga's really on a roll these months.

o3. 【ノワール】ラストソング【歌ってみた】
Last Song [Nowaru]
singer's mylist
Megurine Luka original by fatmanP
• It's no secret that I love Nowaru's covers and I think she needs to do more. This one is just a little too autotuned for my taste, but still nice.

o4. 【三周年】裏切りの夕焼けを歌ってみた / 湯毛
[3rd Anniversary] Uragiri no Yuuyake [Yuge]
singer's mylist
• original song from Durarara
• Happy anniversary!!

o5. 【らっぷびと】裏表ラバーズ【改めふつうびと】
Ura Omote Lovers [Rapbit]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by wowaka
• Despite the fact that too many people has covered this already, I think Rapbit did a good job of doing this in his own flavor.

o6. 【歌姫4人と】海を渡った征服者達を歌姫達と歌ってみたZ【クロガネZ】
Umi wo Watatta Seifukusha-tachi [collaboration]
• original song by Sound Horizon
• The group is composed of Muutan, Samaru, Chawa and Yajima.

o7. 【一周年】『初音ミクの分裂→破壊』を歌わせて頂きました。【灯油】
Hatsune Miku no Bunretsu → Hakai [Touyu]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by cosMo
• This is so extreme, I don't even...

o8. じゃみじゃみ 歌ってみた-遊
Jami Jami [Yuu]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Ningendo
• We're treated once more to Yuu's unique vocals.

o9. ヨルノソコ ver.Chibita
Yoru no Soko [Chibita]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by gomezP
• Chibita's getting better at covering quiet songs. This is a really nice cover.

1o. 【佳仙ver.】Blindness【歌ってみました(*´ω`*)b】
Blindness [Keisen]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by Treow
• Keisen's thin voice controlled the high parts well and she doesn't sound as over-reaching as her other works. It's a really pretty cover but not as good as F9's or Yoru's.
