Vocaloid Midyear Special Ranking 2010 2nd Part (Hatsune Miku compilation)

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.

Singing Producers

Last weekend, the_desserter and I were talking about HoehoeP/Nanou and his singing skills and eventually, it kind of branched out to producers in the utattemita category. Hence, this post is born XD.

Producers are known in the Vocaloid part of Nico Nico Douga as the composers, lyricists and Vocaloid tuners. But not many people know that a lot of producers also sing (either in the utattemita section only or in the whole doujin scene). Sometimes they sing covers of their own songs (self-covers) or songs of other Vocaloid producers. You may know one producer who sings covers of songs, you know, Tourai (minato/RyuuseiP)? XD He's one of the few who uses a different name for his covers, but that was because he was named Tourai/Tolie/Turai even before he admitted that he's minato ^^;.

Here are some of the producers who also upload their songs. Most of them have rearranged versions of the songs they are covering, sometimes just accompanied by guitar (they sound awesome, btw XD). These are some that I know of, but there are a lot more producers who upload their own singing, so if you know of them, please do inform me in the comments :3. The songs I used are just samples, though. Please visit their mylists for more.

Just a heads up since you might not notice, but I won't be using YT links/embeds for utattemita/Vocaloid music anymore unless it's something not in Nicovideo. Some songs are being deleted off YT and IDK really how producers/singers think of people multi-posting their works in YT, so to keep it safe, I'm using the official Nico Nico Douga links forever XD;. This will also apply to my other websites ([community profile] onsenjikan, etc.). Thanks!

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #137 (May 10-17, 2010)

For some reason, I think this week's ranking doesn't feature a lot of new uploads. In fact, most of the entries are old songs rearranged into the rankings. There were a lot that fell, but there were some who held on strongly, probably affected by album release or a cover from the utattemita category.

Anyway, here's your top 80 songs for the month of March! Why am I not surprised at the amount of wowaka-san in this one? ♥

This is the first time I'm posting about the weekly Vocaloid ranking. Initially, I just wanted to do the monthly summary ranking, but since I always check Weekly Vocaran anyway, why not include them in my posts here ^^;. I also put a list of my favorites for the week @ mintyrain. Yes, there's a thing called life here, I just don't notice it much XD.

This is just a list. Order is not reversed, unless people request it to be in such :). /lazy

Monthly Vocaloid Top 30 - February

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.

Okay, this is a massive, massive list. It consists of four parts! Because of it's...um, massiveness, I won't be including some of the details I usually include in the normal rankings. FFFFFFF I'll just include my pointless comments hahaha. Whoever did this is epic! Anyway, on to the yearly countdown. I have a feeling on what the number 1 song is, honestly XD;.

To make this more suspenseful, I'll be listing in an inverted order XD. Hahahaha /shot.

[utattemita spotlight] Tolie/トゥライ

Since we've been missing him a lot (and Clear's been taking too much of our time), let's go back to getting to know Tolie/Tourai. :3

トゥライ (Tolie)
| NND mylist | blog | NND comm | mixi comm |

I think I have flailed about him too much in my LJ, but for the newbies, here goes nothing~:

Tolie or Tourai is a Nico singer who is also a producer/composer of Vocaloid songs. You might have known him before as minato or RyuuseiP. Some of his compositions include Kagamine Len's SPICE!, Megurine Luka's RIP=RELEASE and the infamous magnet by Megurine Luka and Hatsune Miku. As a singer, he has a wonderfully rich and deep voice but he isn't afraid to go falsetto or reach high notes. Some people say he sings like Miyano Mamoru, but I don't think so. He sings by the book and rarely does adlibs or restyling unlike Jack or Clear. As a result, his songs aren't as amusing or interesting as other covers, but his voice makes up enough for it. :) Still, he's a pretty popular singer and while I love his compositions (FAITH ♥) I wish he'd sing some more.

The song list is arranged by date of uploading. Since he doesn't have interesting tags in his uploads, I have refrained from quoting tags XD.
