Apologies again for a post with lame comments. Anyway, Senbonzakura is in full bloom as it rises to the top, but there are also a loooot of new songs this week from people you already know and love so be sure to check them out! Some of them includes a new brainwash song (not again D: ), some GUMI V3 initial songs and a lot of hard rock stuff.

This week's Vocaran has a LOT of new stuff, most of them very awesome, so you guys better check them out. You might notice the descriptions are missing in some of the songs. That's because I can't load anything in Nico today and the ones I have descriptions of are those I've watched before. So, most of those written there are my opinions based on what I remember of the song (please kick my slow Internet). Sorry. ANYWAY...

niki

mylist | piapro

When Lily was to be released to the public, a Lily test bank was released for producers to test out her program before the original one is released. There is also a Lily contest where producers are encouraged to submit songs made for Lily. What do these things have to do with today's spotlight? These events are what made niki a "Legendary Lily Master", according to fans.

Niki started uploading songs only last August but has put out six works in total, all of them Lily-based. He has gained admiration not only from Lily fans but from other producers as well because of the high quality of his songs despite him being new to uploading.

Niki's genre is mostly Vocarock/Vocaleamo, utilizing guitars and drums. His guitars are especially good and his earlier two works are reminiscent of old school J-rock songs while the newer ones are near buzzG or DevilishP's styles. While most of his songs are upbeat, though, the messages are more often than not, morbid and sad. He tunes Lily very well despite Lily being a new product and he continues to improve until now. He does not have a specific pattern of tuning Vocaloids like, let's say NekomushiP. Sometimes, Lily comes in strong and high but sometimes she is played smoothly and low.

With regards to the intro above, Niki initially used the Lily test bank to up his songs. He wrote 4 Lily songs using the test bank despite the time constraint it has. Eventually, he bought the real thing and released two more songs. Niki's second song, Yubi Enpitsu, won (with other songs) the Lily original song contest.

nikki says

When I first heard of niki, I was amused because we have the same name. Then [personal profile] the_desserter also expressed her interest in niki's works and we spent some twitter time spazzing over REVERSE and ERROR, which are technically my favorites from niki's works. I like how he managed to bring out Lily's potential without making Lily sound almost identical to existing Vocaloids. I also enjoy how niki's works are all rock, but they have a distinct attitude. Niki's works sound really similar to other Vocarock works, but the addition of techno beats and other elements makes his works stand out. Until now, niki remains my favorite Lily composer, the second being sele.

If you like Vocarock, not necessarily Lily, you should listen to niki. You might end up liking Lily, too.

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #163 (November 8-15, 2010)

I like this week because of the influx of wonderful new songs, as well as surprising movements among the old songs in the ranking. The top 3 are also of different genres so it's an interesting listen XD.

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #162 (November 5-11, 2010)

This week is a bit uneventful due to the lack of new song influx, although the new songs are wonderful! Also, November 5 was Meiko's birthday! Sadly, only a few of her songs made it to the rankings, but they are really nice. Please do check them out.
