Weekly Utattemita Ranking #125 (March 21-28, 2011)

Note: Due to my lack of computer these past weeks (I'm merely borrowing my sister's computer and tweeting using my computer at work <-- worthless employee), I'm in a hurry to put this out. Please forgive the lack of descriptions.

There are quite a few of new stuff this week, partly because people are still trying to keep up with life over uploading covers, a few weeks after the earthquake. But as expected, we get a bandwagon song in the form of the dangerously catchy AC CM. So many covers, Utaran-san even set up a ranking just for it XD;.


↑# - 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!

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #106 (November 08-15, 2010)

This is quite an interesting ranking for me because of the new number 1 which seems to be inevitable as well as the influx of unfamiliar singers with wonderful covers. Have fun getting to know them! Also, be prepared for weird old song movements in the ranking.

( Overall Weekly Ranking under the cut )

Sorry for the late updates. I'm having so much fun in the "introduce yourself post" I kind of got lazy with the spotlights and updates, all of which I'm doing now! Also I'm trying to get a couple of friends into the fandom (again) and I'm still thinking of how to go about it. I suck at writing intro posts seriously XDD;.

Anyway, updates!

• It seems that there is a planned novelization of mothy's Aku no Musume/Meshitsukai series. There are no details released yet but here is some more info in Fujyoshinews (in Japanese), though.

• If you enjoyed the Utattemoratta CD 1 (theme: ikemen voices), you'll definitely love Utattemoratta CD 2 (theme: gender-defying voices). This is going to be released August 27 (clear's birthday lol) and will include Hitori, che:sakurai, vip-tenchou, Kogeinu and Lon. It's kind of stingy there are only two people in the cover though ;;.

• As I said in twitter, clear should take lessons on "how to pose for a CD cover" from Piko, who is to release his debut album. Limited edition has a DVD, too! Pretty face is pretty, I'm ashamed to be female, etc. While you're ordering why not order Irregular Voices by Ouzoku Band (y'know, the one with Tissue hime) feat. Sekihan, too XD. This was released last month so it's a bit older.

• G.W. Nicolai website is updated with some info, art and demo of the seven singles they're releasing. Remember the ones having singles are ASK, Gero, Nodoame (lol lollipop art), Pokota, Yuge, Kogeinu and Makomakkou. You can view the crossfade demo in the "special" part of the site. And the tracklist at the "product" part. Here's a translation of what they are going to sing:

Gero: Kutabare PTA (NashimotoP) and From Y to Y (Jimmythumb)
ASK: Eh? Aa, Sou (papiyon) and d's (Kudou Yasumoto)
Kogeinu: Kusari no Shoujo (NoboruP) and Shinryoku no Kaze (Studio IMO)
Yuge: Dancing Samurai (mathru) and Neta Kiri Goukin Depenza (Don McCow/MML)
Pokota: Scissorhands (Nem) and Kuro no Kata Tsubasa (Studio IMO)
Nodoame: Migikata no Chou -Len ver.- (Noripy) and Spider Kiss (Ritsu Inoue)
Makomakkou: Spice! (minato) and Heaven's Door (Don McCow)

Some of them aren't Vocaloid songs :). At the moment, there is no way to buy the CDs aside from the shop but it might be available in Animate and other sites soon :).

• Usa Colony 4 has its site up with MP3 previews of the tracklist. It also has a crossfade demo in Nicovideo here. This will be released August 14, 2010 at Comiket.

• That kind of epic collab CD in a graceful sound has released a crossfade demo here. Remember this CD involves collaborations with producers 40mP, FullkawaP, Scop, ←P, KuwagataP and kous; and singers Tourai, Tabun Jibun, Erusi, Rumdarjun, Usa and F9.

• For those interested in BL games, "Nessa no Rakuen" has an OP teaser here (SLIgHTLY NSFW AND BL OF COURSE!) You might remember Dasoku is singing the opening song. Get your tissues ready.

• In case you missed it the first time I posted it, here is another page of the Utattemoratta 1 (clear, ASK, Dasoku, Pokota, Kettaro) CD interview. This one contains voice messages as well as handwritten ones (holy crap ASK's message D:).

• Before we get to the crazy part, have some random dancing by Pokota which is the reason why my brain broke last night.

• Now for the crazy part. Nico Nico Douga is actually holding an end-of-summer fest which involves a 27-hour marathon of guests from 18:00 TODAY up to 20:40 of the next day (Sunday). There is a list of guests here and they will only appear at certain times. In order to watch, just click the view tab in the site and you'll be seeing few ustream channels. The guests are singers, musicians, producers and gamers. I translated some of the guests' names (only the ones relevant to this comm) and the time they will appear under the cut. All of the time is in JPN time so please convert to your timezone~.

( time table )


And that ends our update XD. I'll squeeze in some of the news later if something comes up~!

• There's a news in nico nico douga regarding multiple accounts with the same IP address.

• Asamakku (Asamaru and Jack) has issued some new rules for members of their community, rooting from the HIGH STREAM housou Asamaru guested in. I think Asamaru was a bit uncomfortable during that housou because of his fans spamming the chatbox, so they are asking their fans for some things when listening to them in a non-Asamakku live. These include:
- not calling them by their pet names if possible (Marutan, Jack-tan, Maruko, Asako, Jakko, etc.);
- not spamming about Asamakku as a unit when only one is guesting and the housou is not related to Asamakku;
- not spamming with too much emoticons (you know those scrolling shooting stars, etc.);
- not mentioning inside jokes and info only known in the community;
- not chatting with other members with trivial stuff not related to the housou;
- not mentioning anything trivial which is not related to the convo (e.g., I'm sleeping, I'm eating, etc.).
I think this generally means being more formal when listening to Asamaru and Jack in a housou outside the Asamakku community. Since HIGH STREAM is a more...formal housou, with musicians who do not know the inside works of Asamakku and its family, it must've been a bit uncomfy seeing the spam.

• The production of the album in a graceful sound is already in the works. This is a CD with original songs written by Vocaloid composers and sung by Nico utaite. The mentioned collabs are:
- FullkawaP x Tabun Jibun
- 40mP x Tourai
- KuwagataP x Usa
- kous x F9
- ←P x Rumdarjun
- scop x Erusi
It will be released August 14, 2010 and will be sold for 1000 yen

• You can now order the MGS Utattemita CD ~Starry Sky~ in Amazon, instead of doing it the roundabout way in toranoana :). Kudos to hatsudai-san and the people involved for making it possible.




notes: Thanks to southerncross for the heads up re: asamakku :)

Apologies for posting this a little late, I was having so much fun doing Skype karaoke with my friends. Have you ever tried singing any of the Nico Nico medleys (Ryuuseigun, Nanairo, Nijigen) in Skype call together with your friends? Ultimate chaos. I strongly suggest you try it XD.

Anyway, this batch is really different from the last. There are a lot of drops and surprising pulls to the top!

↑# - 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!

o2. 【ヘタリア】1人で独普墺で爆乳音頭をノリノリで歌ってみた【甘め】
• [Hetalia] Bakunyuu Ondo by Germany and Prussia [Ikutame]
• singer's mylist
• I must admit the images of Prussia dancing around made me laugh.

o3. Boku-Boku .β　歌ってみた【そらる】
• Boku-Boku .β [Soraru]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by AVTechno
• I've heard wonderful covers of Boku-Boku Beta in the past, so I'm not that impressed with Soraru's cover. Still, it's pretty well done.

o4. 『きみがすき』歌ってみた　Version 将太
• Kimi ga Suki [Shouta]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by yukkedoluce
• I really love Shouta's voice :3.

o5. 【古川本舗】Good morning Emma Sympson を　うたって【みた＆ちびた】
• Good Morning Emma Sympson [Fullkawa Honpo]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by FullkawaP
• Fullkawa Honpo is composed of FullkawaP and Chibita.

o6. 「三日月ライダー」歌ってみた：Nimo
• Mikazuki Rider [Nimo]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 40mP
• I have a love-hate relationship with Nimo's voice. Sometimes it's a little too high-pitched and cutesy, but there are times when she sings wonderfully. Like here.

o7. BossDeath歌ってみました【そ～ま】
• Boss Death [So-ma]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by IsoP
• There's a sudden wave of Boss Death covers, probably started by Amu's. I'm not complaining, though. I like So-ma's version because it's deep and cool-sounding, and a little different from amu's and Valshe's versions.

o8. 【エルシ】A Whole new world 2人で歌ってみた【でにろう】
• A Whole New World [Erusi and Denirou]
• mylists: Erusi, Denirou
• Instead of singing the A Whole New World Japanese version covered by Meiko and Kaito, Erusi and Denirou decided to go all out with the English cover. It's not bad at all. There are, as usual, awkward lines but the overall effect is really nice. :3

o9. 【リツカ】RX ベンゼン【なぜ歌ったし】
• RX Benzene [Ritsuka]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Len (and Rin) original by OwataP
• I've rarely heard good covers of OwataP's brainwash songs because they're too random/fast, but as usual, Ritsuka pulls it off nicely.

1o. 折れてないマイクでmugsを歌ってみた
• mugs [Dakishimete Tonight]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by FullkawaP
• This is the first mugs cover that I've heard! Well, considering the really confusing lyrics, I kind of understand. It's pretty good.
