As the first ranking of the year, this list has quite a few retains from last week, although there are a lot of new stuff worth checking out, some of them for the Kagamines' birthday matsuri. Enjoy the lot of the Rin and Len stuff as well as one very special KAITO song :). Also, you might be surprised about the real voice Naho has as a greeting XD;.

Songs are arranged from 1-30.

As you might remember, I posted the midyear special ranking sometime in July, where the songs included were those uploaded from December 2009 to June 2010. This is the LATTER PART of that ranking, where the top songs from June 15 to December 14, 2010 are uploaded.

The video has 80 songs, but the mylist has 200 songs O_O;. A-anyway, I've included them all in the list. As with the previous mid-year ranking and all the other rankings which aren't weekly, this is written in reverse for more suspense :D.

Since all of them are Miku songs, I'll just type the song, composer and additional Vocaloids used if there are any :).

The last few are so predictable XD;. Anyway, I'll be doing the rest of the rankings, too (how many more to go? D: ) so please wait for them! /o/

...The tags...I...will do them later orz.

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #165 (November 22-29, 2010)

Like with the utattemita ranking, this week's Vocaloid ranking is also good because of the influx of new songs, not to mention new producers :D. The top 10 are all new songs with the songs from the previous ranking pushed downwards D:. There are a lot of new people to check out so I hope you enjoy this ranking.

Today's ranking is a bit confusing with all the surprising returners, the keeps (wow) the ups and downs from old songs (lol, all the catchy songs moved a notch up or kept their rank, wow). Also, we have quite a beautiful number 1 and a lot of new songs. Most importantly, we have KAITO in the ranking XD. Enjoy!

A few announcements so as not to waste post count :).

• I forgot to do the monthly ranking...again. Sorry. I'll do it tomorrow.
• I might not be able to do spotlights again this week. (Work deadline is on Friday, but you don't want to know the details) Next week! I'll try my best!

• I updated the tracklist of PointFive's enhAnce CD here :).
• Hiwaily*2, that host club CD like Smiley*2 has formally introduced their cast as Amu, Miichan, So~ma, Jigiru, Riseha and [REN]. Note that they also have Kantou and Tokyo branches. Riseha is a girl, but she sounds so adorable here ;_;.
• Kogeinu has announced in his new(?) blog the release of two CDs collectively called Uttemoratta. The first CD, which is themed "popular singers collection" has Clear, Dasoku, Pokota, ASK and Kettaro. The second CD, themed "no gender distinction" has Kogeinu, Hitori, che:Sakurai and vip-tenchou. XD This is going to be interesting. Please get your wallets ready by July!

Last night, nine days since May started, I remembered that I forgot to do the Monthly Vocaloid Ranking for March D:. So sorry! I was in a hotel last May 1, so I totally forgot about it OTL. Anyway, it's better to be late than never. Here is the April Ranking, all 80 in the list :).

I've been browsing February uploads in Vocaloid-dom today and decided to translate the top 30 ranking for the previous month on a whim. I don't have the time to do the weekly ranking, but if they have a monthly ranking regularly, maybe I can squeeze that in between utatte mita posts :3. Anyway, here are the top 30 Vocaloid songs for February. Some are new, some are as old as February 2009.

The list is not inverted, so you want, you can start at the bottom :3.
