Weekly Utattemita Ranking #122 (February 28-March 07, 2011)

This week's ranking has a lot of new stuff, despite the fact that some of the strong ones from the previous week are still hanging on, although most of those that had a huge rise last week have fallen just as fast today. There were some late-to-the-party bandwagoners of semi-old songs, quite a few parodies and possibly a new bandwagon song.

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

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #115 (January 10-17, 2011)

This week is awesome! There are a lot of good covers (most of them bandwagoning to a couple of songs but who cares) and the ones retained are the old favorites as well. It's surprising that all the songs that rose last week now fell, probably because of the influx of new songs. I'm sure you have an idea of what's in the top, but you might still be surprised by one or two of them~.

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.

Weekly Utaran #103 (October 18-25, 2010)

This week is an extension of even more Matryoshka bandwagoning and people trying to unleash the MMORPG gamers/singers in them. And new names, you might be surprised :). Someone decided to flood the rankings with his weird yet well-done covers, wonder who that is? XD

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 【Vin】Corruption Garden【吐いてみた】
• Corruption Garden [Vin]
• singer's mylist
• Megurine Luka original by Caz
• This is actually the first male cover of this song that I've listened to, and I think Caz's song has been upped in GAR points by Vin ^^;. I don't usually like screamo, but wow, wth was that. I guess people have also been checking Vin after he was announced as a guest in a mini-concert next year :).

o2. 追跡立方体、キューブ　歌ってみた－遊
• Tsuizeki Rippoutai, Cube [Yuu]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by NankaisekaiP
• I haven't gotten used to Yuu's voice, but I also haven't gotten to his choice of songs LOL. It's always creepy though XD.

o3. 【つきじ】「また君に恋してる」歌ってみた
• Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru [Tsukiji]
• singer's mylist
• This reminds me of old anime ;_;. The voice is really pretty, too! Like...Okiayu Ryoutarou.

o4. 「Sweet devil」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• Sweet Devil [Guriri]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by HachioujiP
• I actually like this better than Nobunaga's version. There's still a mountain of autotune in this song, which can't be helped, but Guriri sounds more solid and more refined. There's a bit of awkwardness with the phrasing but you can't help getting confused with the Engrish in this song ^^;.

o5. 「after this」歌ってみた＠そらこ
• after this [Sorako]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by NioP
• I haven't heard from Sorako much before this so I'm kind of glad she's uploading pretty covers again. Her high voice suits NioP's Miku range, although sometimes a bit missing from her cover. Very simply sung, which makes it a nice listen.

o6. 「Specification」歌ってみた【柿チョコ】
• Specification [Kakichoco]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by papiyon
• One of the clearest covers of this song that I've heard. Kakichoco nailed the song and how to make it sound crisp and clear and full of feelings without effort.

o7. 【APヘタリア】アメリカとイギリスでマトリョシカ【歌ってみた】
• (Hetalia Parody) Amerika to Igirisu de Matryoshka [collaboration]
• Hatsune Miku and GUMI original by hachi
• Here comes the anime!Matryoshka bandwagon. I find them really amusing for some reason, the serifu especially.

o8. 声 - 歌ってみました。
• Koe [Konori]
• singer's mylist
• Kamui Gakupo original by TambourineP
• Konori does Gakupo really well as always, although I have to remind myself to separate him from Machige's creepy works as I listen.

o9. 「ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール」　辻ヒールしてみました
• Net Game Haijin Sprechor [Boku]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
• Reminds me of Nanahira, just one the more shriller level LOL ^^;

1o. 「ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール」歌ってみた。 ver.こ～ら
• Net Game Haijin Sprechor [Ko~ra]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
• Ko~ra has a nice voice that I wouldn't think would sound good in rock-ish songs but he actually did the song well.

It's still "Eh, Aa, Sou" matsuri in this week's ranking, although I still haven't found any reason to complain about the influx yet (totally enjoying it, yes). There are a lot of new and wonderful songs this week, too, compared to the previous flat rankings.

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

Utattemita Ranking (December 28, 2009 to January 4, 2010)
Happy new year! After the looooong annual ranking, we're back to our weekly rankings :3. Same rules apply and maybe we can see the same people in the list XD.

I'm trying to add info in this post, too, like the song's previous rank (if it's in the previous ranking). I'll try not to be confusing OTL /is already confused XD.

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 虹‐hand in hand‐を歌 [Φ串Φ]
• Niji - hand in hand - [Kushi]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by ちーむ炙りトロ丼 (Team Aburitori-don)
• This is one of Kushi's stronger and better songs. I love her voice but sometimes, she tends to sing weakly. This is a good song and is just deserving of the 1st spot in the new uploads list. The chorus towards the end is sung with other Nico singers like Matsuriya, Kakichoco, Kazuki, Kettaro, 5comasuberi, Seriyu, Dasoku, Miichan, PUPI, Beeeeeige, Rumdarjun and Wotamin.

o2. 君の体温 [新社会人]
• Kimi no Taion [Shin Shakaijin]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Kuwagata-P
• I've seen this person upload towards the end of 2010 and boy, his voice is really nice! This song is a little upbeat but still relaxing to listen to. Shin reminds me of Clear, but on the husky side XD;.

o3. Until Rebirth [秋赤音]
• Until Rebirth [Aki Akane]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by KEI and myriad
• Okay. Wow. Aki. Really. I'm awed by her voice before and now I'm even more of a fan of her voice because of this cover. She doesn't sound girly like most singers, and sounds good at rock songs like this XD. God, I'm almost comparing her to Piko, which shouldn't be XD.

o4. 「 １ 」 [ななひら]
• 1 [Nanahira]
• singer's mylist
• original by ラマーズP
• I think we all know who Nanahira is and the songs that she sings. This is an extra cute song by her. I'm not sure if it's original since there was no link to the original song.

o5. 気球にのってどこまでも [アフィリア・サーガ]
• Kikyuu ni Notte Doko Made mo [Afilia Saga]
• A choir of singing maids :o.

o6. 君の体温 [野宮]
• Kimi no Taion [Nomiya]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Kuwagata-P
• A new name to me and she sounds a little like Aki Akane and Matsuriya. She has a pretty voice ;3.

o7. envy. [たぶん自分]
• envy [Tabun Jibun]
• singer's mylist
• Megurine Luka original by FurukawaP
• I don't like this song much because it makes me sleepy, even Seriyu's version didn't make me like it ^^;. Anti-bias aside, the slightly rough voice used by the singer gives the song an edge and makes it interesting to listen to. However, the droning tones still makes the cover weak...

o8. Dear [少年Ｔ]
• Dear [ShounenT]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 19's Sound Factory
• Okay, ShounenT really sings beautifully. I love his acoustic versions so much ;;;; /stalks. He sings so cutely ;;;.

o9. girlfriend [UmiNeko]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by 古川Ｐ (Furukawa-P)
• I've started hearing of UmiNeko October-November last year. His voice reminds me of Bump of Chicken and Asamaru XD;.

1o. 本格的男尻祭2009CMの没テイク [しも x おくるだP]
• Honkaku Teki Otoko Shiri Matsuri 2009 CM no Potsu Take [Shimo x OkurudaP]
• I really have no idea...

• Sweetest Day of May [Choucho feat. Test]
