Weekly Utattemita Ranking #120 (Feb. 14-21, 2011)

We have a weak week for this ranking, with very few covers from people we know. Buuuut that means there's a lot of opportunity to know lesser known singers who sound equally amazing. You might see a lot of unfamiliar names in the lower parts, but the top parts are definitely dominated by people you see A LOT in the ranking XD;. And yes, there are more Panda Heroes.

Please do not mind my half-asleep comments. I'm tired from running around all day and my boss deprived me of a delicious Korean beef stew lunch. Yes, I am bearing a grudge because of that. Anyway, let's go to the ranking w/ my lame comments ^^;.


↑# - 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!

By the way, in case you've forgotten, this week you can register for a Dreamwidth account without using a code. More info here. To those who have already registered, welcome to DW!! add me!! /shot

This is a really great week, with uploads from a lot of good artists (yes, I am biased I know XD). There are a lot of standstills in the ranking, but there are a lot of awesome new entries! Remember that you can keep your favorite song in the ranking by watching it in Nicovideo, commenting on it and saving it in your mylist :). I wonder if Shota Shota Night Fever will still reign :3.

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. カナシキヒステリックガール～boy's side～ [みーちゃん]
• Kanashiki Hysteric Girl ~Boy's side~ [Miichan]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Hoehoe-P
• Miichan ruled the new up ranking with his very good reverse cover of this song. Sexy as always :3.

o2. ナーバス [遊]
• Nervous [Yuu]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by shizuru
• How long has it been since I've seen Yuu in the ranking (I think he was in it until November of last year). This one isn't a very strong cover by him or it could be because I've been looping Anima's since forever. Honestly, though, I think he can do better ^^.

o3. アルビノ [鋼兵]
• Albino [Hagane Tsuwamono]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by buzzG.
• I loved the original version of this song and I'm glad a lot of people are covering it (LOL Tourai-san, please upload yours.) Hagane's cover is powerful as always and I think he did a good job!

o4. Little Wings [柿チョコ]
• Little Wings [Kakichoco]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by caz
• Ever since Kakichoco sang "欲求不満マーチ" she has been growing on me. I like this cover because her strong vocals complement the strong melody. I hope she does more alternative covers.

o5. 金の入日に手風琴 [doriemon]
• Kin no Irihi ni Tefuukin [doriemon]
• singer's mylist
• MEIKO original by ■P
• I haven't heard of doriemon before but this is a beautiful cover! Her deep voice is just right for the harmonica melody. I am definitely in love with this cover (and the original by...how do you read his name ;;; ■P is good, too!)

o6. ギャングブラックスター [薬人 x 夢助]]
• Gang Blackstar [Kusurijin x Yumesuke]
• This is a really cool cover. Their collaboration reminds me of Miichan x PUPI. LOL.

o7. アルビノ [samfree]
• Albino [samfree]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by buzzG.
• samfree's been covering a lot of songs lately! it makes me happy XD. This is a good cover (although nothing can top his Last Night, Good Night, I think).

o8. ペテン師が笑う頃に [Leco]
• Petenshi ga Warau Koro ni [LECO]
• mylists: Kettaro, Arirum
• Hatsune Miku original by NashimotoP
• What I like about this cover is a new twist: having rapping parts XD;. Kettaro's singing is already good but the rap part added spice to the whole thing. It's an awesome job.

o9. madder sky [折れたマイク]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by 164 (203 soundwork)
• I don't know which is the real name of the singer. But he did a good rendition :3.

1o. 聴こえていますか [clear]
• Kikoete Imasu ka [clear]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by YunagamoP
• This song is part of the Utaite Tsunagu album for winter and it was just uploaded yesterday ^^;. Clear's voice rang through this cover, as we're used to. He is really the king of ballads for me :3.

( Overall Weekly Ranking under the cut )


I am personally happy with this week's ranking :3. I think the ones in the top 10 are very deserving of their places. I hope next week would be another amazing upload week XDD.

Here is a little poll, by the way:

Do you prefer the ranking to be in reverse order (30-1; 10-1) instead of the current order?

See you next week :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.

PART 2
PART 3

WHEW! That was long. I hope you enjoyed the countdown as much as I did XD;. I was expecting certain songs to be in the countdown that didn't make it, but I guess I pretty much agree with the top ten :D. Oh god, my fingers hurt ;;. I want to try transliterating the rest of the countdown but T_______T. Let's do that some other time XD;.
