- おふろ ♨ タイム -

Since this is the first ranking of the new year, it contains a ton of new songs! You won't see a lot of returners this week, instead you'll see a whole new layer of awesome. The PONPONPON and Senbonzakura bandwagons are near gone so you can enjoy a variety of songs this week.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 153 (October 03-10, 2011)



This week hasn't marked the end of the Senbonzakura rave, and yet we have another bandwagon song going and it's "Kagerou Days" by Jin. We might need a separate ranking for this one, too XD. Anyway, because of two songs' covers piling up everywhere, you'll notice that Utaran-san has once again used those amusing phasing where one cover blends into the next. Aside from these two songs, there are still more, including covers of buzzG's new songs, etc. so there's still more to look out for.

Currently, we have a typhoon here in the Philippines, so we're experiencing power failures and intermittent Internet connection. Since I want to post this as fast as I can before we lose power here, I'm leaving out descriptions again. However, I think this ranking doesn't need a lot of comments since we have a lot of popular people which do not need introduction XD.

One thing about this ranking is we have a ton of Senbonzakura (KurousaP) covers, so if you love that song like I do, enjoy!

Bibi/ビビ

mylist | community

Bibi is very new to the utattemita scene, having only started uploading his covers February of this year. Despite being a rookie, though, he has gained enough attention and respect from fans and other utaite alike because of his unique covers and high-quality uploads.

Bibi's style can be likened to the types of Touyu, Kouhei, Furuike Yuusuke, etc. albeit at a less loud degree. He's a passionately strong singer and always sings in high-strung, full-forced voice. What is impressive about his style, however, is his tenacity and solidity in terms of holding the rhythm as well as pitch very well. Singing in this style plus carrying out the perfect rhythm (and second voicing) is quite a task even for seasoned utaite, and I think it's in this part that Bibi earns people's admiration. Despite singing in this style, though, he can sing basically anything from rockish songs to gentle 40mP songs without effort.

sample songs
• Babylon (Tohma original)
• Gaikotsu Gakudan to Lilia (Tohma original)
• Shiryokukensa (40mP original)
• Yoku Aru Rinne to Neko no Uta (KotsubanP original)
• Sleep, Sky, Walk (YuuyuP original)
• Tokyo Teddy Bear (with Panyo; Neru original)

Bibi is one of those few utaite who have impressed me at my first listen. Usually, it takes a while before we get used to someone's voice, especially if they only have a few covers, but Bibi really actually made me loop his covers of Lilia and the Skeleton Band and Babylon. Even though I likened him to a few utaite above, I find his style entirely different, probably because aside from the passionate singing, he can also change his pitch from out of the blue without difficulty, reach high notes effectively, sometimes even without screaming, and create a whole new approach to covering a particular song. I honestly think that he is amazing and that has a lot of potential as an utaite. I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing how he can manage to cover certain songs in different genre.

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 :).
