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!

This week has overloads of maji love 1000% (still?!), Kuwagata (not the P) song by UramanbouP (both versions are awesome), 40mP songs and Ano Hana theme in the pickup. We have an interesting yet limited selection this week, it should be easier to go through them. Enjoy :).

Also, if there are any errors, please forgive me. I fell asleep while writing this and I woke up just in time to stop myself from writing "Koman" instead of Marasy and "Chef" instead of Soraru (yeah, don't ask). OTL.

Today's week is interesting for two reasons: 1) there's a new CM meme people will cover over the next days; 2) There is quite a large number of covers of non-Vocaloid songs.

The CM I'm talking about is this one. If I'm not mistaken, this is an ad for a deodorant and the singing boy does not seem to have any connection to the product aside from the fact that he is cute. Of course, when covers come up, crack ensues. You do the discovering XD.

As mentioned in the past post, the utaran is now color-coded according to the colors in the Utaran video.

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;.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #124 (March 14-21, 2011)

There are only a few new stuff this time, because we all know how Japan is doing now. Still, there are songs worth listening to, especially our new number 1. There are some songs that pertain to a certain issue that happened recently, but I won't be explaining that here.

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 ^^;.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #109 (November 29 to December 06, 2010)

This is late (and the rest might be late, too) because of certain difficulties as I have no Internet at home and my work has blocked Nico Nico Douga. I apologize for delays in the future, too, if this kind of fail happens for a long time OTL.

Anyway, a big thanks to stephieku and the person who uploads the weekly utaran himself (who is so kind, I don't even...), I managed to get the ranking list and just...listened to them one by one instead of the ranking itself. I might miss some comments re: some of the songs, so sorry ;;. Anyway, on to the ranking, which is pretty predictable given the songs released this week :). There are tons of new songs, there wasn't much space for the oldies to cling on :(.

PS: The Vocaloid links in the blurbs inevitably lead to nicosound because it's what I used to listen to the songs ^^;. I'll try changing them but for now, please tolerate them Y_Y; Hopefully fixed the links back to Nicovideo.
