Gurumi / グル美

| mylist |

Gurumi is a season utaite who has started submitting covers of Vocaloid songs as early as 2008. She is mostly known for covering MEIKO songs, which has somehow become her specialty. Despite maintaining mediocre popularity, she's actually much-loved not only in the MEIKO fandom, but in the Vocaloid fandoms as well. In some of her videos, you might see the tag "AV", which stands for "adult voice".

Gurumi's voice can be likened to Yoru, Yamai, and the rest of the female utaite who can sing in deep, rich tones. Her voice can reach high notes, but most of the time, she prefers keeping cool and lowering her voice in seductive drawls. At loud parts, her smooth voice rings through with strength and solidity. Because of this, it has become her specialty to sing jazzy and slightly rockish songs.

As I said before, Gurumi prefers singing MEIKO songs, and in her earlier works, you'd notice that 90% of them are MEIKO songs. Later on, however, she has moved on to sing Luka, Miku and even GUMI songs, but whenever there's a popular MEIKO song, chances are she'll cover it. Since most of MEIKO's songs depict her as an adult, or at least older than most of the Vocaloids, it's no suprise that she manages to sing them all beautifully.

nikki says:
Gurumi is one of the first female utaite I've listened to, and she's sort of my go-to person when looking for cover of MEIKO songs. It's a pity that she's not popular when her covers are always nice and of good quality.

On an unrelated note, tomorrow is Nico Nico Dance Master 2. Aside from tons of utaite, HachioujiP will be there to act as DJ and Hashiyan and Zebra as guests. Last year's Dancemas was very impressive, so I'm expecting more this year. Gate to the streaming is . It can be viewed by anyone and it also can be timeshifted.

There are a lot of new songs this week with a couple of mysterious pull ups from nowhere, but that's fine. Quite a lot of Calc., Rinne and Matryoshka covers but not as many as before. This is a pretty interesting ranking if you're looking for variety. Also, it seems that two people have celebrated their utaite anniversary this week :).

↑# - 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!

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 『グリグリメガネと月光蟲』 たぶん自分が歌ってみた。
Guri Guri Megane to Gekkochuu [Tabun Jibun]

o3. 【ノワール】ラストソング【歌ってみた】
Last Song [Nowaru]

[3rd Anniversary] Uragiri no Yuuyake [Yuge]
singer's mylist
• original song from Durarara
• Happy anniversary!!

o5. 【らっぷびと】裏表ラバーズ【改めふつうびと】
Ura Omote Lovers [Rapbit]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by wowaka
• Despite the fact that too many people has covered this already, I think Rapbit did a good job of doing this in his own flavor.

o6. 【歌姫4人と】海を渡った征服者達を歌姫達と歌ってみたZ【クロガネZ】
Umi wo Watatta Seifukusha-tachi [collaboration]
• original song by Sound Horizon

o8. じゃみじゃみ 歌ってみた-遊
Jami Jami [Yuu]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by Ningendo
• We're treated once more to Yuu's unique vocals.

o9. ヨルノソコ ver.Chibita
Yoru no Soko [Chibita]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku original by gomezP
• Chibita's getting better at covering quiet songs. This is a really nice cover.

1o. 【佳仙ver.】Blindness【歌ってみました(*´ω`*)b】
Blindness [Keisen]
singer's mylist
Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka original by Treow
• Keisen's thin voice controlled the high parts well and she doesn't sound as over-reaching as her other works. It's a really pretty cover but not as good as F9's or Yoru's.
