- おふろ ♨ タイム -

Sorry for the delay! This was supposed to be up yesterday but I fell asleep XD;. And I decided to post it a bit late with a lot of comments instead of just listing stuff. Senbonzakura, like in the utaran, stays strong here but there are a ton of new songs which are all worth a listen!

Since I dropped the monthly Vocaloid ranking, I decided to replace it this time with the Monthly Nico Nico Indies Ranking.



Nico Nico Indies is a small part of the Nico Nico Douga site where people post their original works. The concept that is different from Vocaloid/Utattemita/Ensoushitemita is that the works here are all original and are usually instrumental or sung by people. Of course, while there are many unfamiliar names here, there are VocaloidPs and utaites that participate in this area, too, especially when they collaborate to sing original songs. Oftentimes, original songs from NNI appear also in utattemita, so you might recognize some of them. NNI is also a very slow-moving category, so there are only a few views/participants than what you might be used to.

I'm glad this ranking is just monthly because gathering information on the artists is a bit difficult, especially since I am also a bit new in this area. Since this writeup is to introduce people to NNI, I tried my best to be as descriptive as possible. If you are a fan of anyone mentioned in this ranking please feel free to chip in other information you can share re: the artist!

Since it has almost the same format, this ranking will be arranged just like the utattemita ranking, minus the colorful letters :). This might be a bit tl;dr than most of my rankings, so please be warned! Also, as I said before, this is a slow-moving category, so you will encounter songs here which you might have already heard months ago :).

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.

↑# - 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 Vocaloid Ranking #170 (December 27, 2010 - January 3, 2011)

To welcome the new year, there are many new uploads and all of them have their own charm. There are quite a few popular producers in this ranking, so I hope you enjoy! Please do not mind the lack of/useless comments from me. I was doing this in the middle of an Asamakkurai namahousou so pardon the randomness from my partly broken brain.

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #169 (December 20-27, 2010)

This week's ranking doesn't have as many new uploads as before but hey, 15 new songs in the ranking isn't bad. There are strong keepers (LOLwowakadecoetc) but the ones who rose to the top are new, lovely music definitely worth a listen. I apologize for the lateness of this post, though, as well, Christmas = parties = sleepless nights. Yup. Not to mention the Internet is amazingly slow during the holidays, isn't it? Anyway....
