- おふろ ♨ タイム -

As with last year, here is the huge annual utattemita ranking for 2011. As all of these songs have been featured in the Weekly Utaran (multiple times even!), I won't be including small details. I'll just be including the Romanized title, the singer, and the original composer. As my Internet is acting up as usual, I wasn't able to include links to the mylists and all that but I hope you understand :).

The Annual Utattemita Ranking is made up of several parts, all of them will be listed here in reverse order unlike my usual style. Let's look at them one by one :).

PART 1
PART 2
PART 3
PART 4

ETA: There were some errors in the ranking, particularly in part 2, so changes have also been applied accordingly in this post. Thank you for the assistance monocian!


UTATTEMITA 2011 UPLOAD RANKING - 100 to 001
The main part of this special is the Utattemita Ranking 2011. This is a ranked list of the best 100 songs uploaded from 12-25-2010 to 12-25-2011 which had gained a lot of views, mylists and comments. Here is the list from 100 to 001.

UTATTEMITA PRE-2011 UPLOADS BEST 100

You can refer to this ranking like the "overall weekly ranking" in weekly utaran minus the new videos. These are songs not uploaded in 2011 but have gained tons views, comments and mylists from 12-25-2010 to 12-25-2011. As expected, some of them are also the highest viewed, commented and mylisted videos of all time in this category. This list is also in reverse, from 100 to 001.

MOST COVERED SONGS of 2011

This is a ranking for the most covered songs in the utattemita category. Most of these are, of course, Vocaloid songs. This list is also in reverse.

Aaand there you have them. I apologize for being a day late. And because I'm late and it's a Monday (which is Utaran day), I'll have to move the first ever Weekly Utaran writeup for 2012 tomorrow. So sorry! But I'm sure you've enjoyed this one btw. This can also be a good guide for you to backtrack the popular songs last year, discover new songs and new singers.

This month's Indies Ranking still has a lot of songs from the previous ranking, but there is surprisingly a large number of new ones. There are instrumentals, V-kei material, and your usual dose of post rock.

Like with the Weekly Utaran, a mirror to the English Nico Nico Site is also provided for the Monthly Indies Ranking, so if you want to comment in English, feel free to view this one.

This week, Senbonzakura still reigns supreme, making it a bandwagon song that doesn't pale in comparison to Matryoshka and Ura Omote Lovers. This week also gives us a bit of nostalgia because there are a lot of covers of old songs, songs we have encountered when we're all new to the fandom. I hope you enjoy this one.

Also, as a very kind move, Utaran-san is trying to upload the Weekly Utattemita Ranking IN ENGLISH. That means the blurb, the intro notes as well as the data in the ranking will all be in English. This is really a plus especially to those who have a hard time watching and/or commenting in the original ranking. The English ranking will be uploaded in Nico Nico.Com and for starters, he has created a mirror of the ranking there. If you cannot comment in Japanese in the original NND video, go all out in commenting in the English site to show your comments and reactions to the ranking as well as thanks to Utaran-san, who is painstakingly trying to reach out to us foreign fans.

From now on, I'll prioritize linking the English version.

↑# - the song moved up from a previous top 30 rank

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!

Apologies for the lateness. I...have a lot of things going on at the moment, the most important is me being sick with some weird stomach flu thingy (yeah don't ask, it gets worse ^^;). Anyway, this week has a few retains from the previous week as well as a loooot of collabs. There aren't really big, big uploads this week, but please do check out the ranking for a few keysuke treasures worth watching :).

PS: The ED is really nice.

I will post the Vocaran tomorrow and the spotlights, I'll try posting them over the weekend. Again, I'm terribly sorry :(.

You might remember that I did a sort of intro post (plus a previous ranking writeup) for Nico Nico Indies Ranking. This is the ranking for this month. As I said, NNI is much more slow-moving compared to utattemita and Vocaloid, so you might still encounter songs here which appeared in the previous ranking. In order to keep your interests piqued, I'll copy my intro discussion on the artist from last ranking as they appear here. :)
