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~.

↑# - 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!

MISAKI

mylist | community | blog | mixi comm

MISAKI is not a famous singer, but she's also not that unknown. She has gathered some following and even has communities in both Nico and Mixi. She started uploading her covers early 2009 and has been active since, although not prolific.

MISAKI's voice can be compared to Yamai and Erin. She has a very rich, syrupy and slightly nasal voice that can reach super high and super low notes effortlessly. Whether the song has a high or low base, she can sing it cleanly without difficulty. Aside from that, she rarely uses vocal stylistics or auto-tune so she delivers songs in a naturally lovely way. She sings ballads, rock songs, upbeat songs -- you name it and she still can pull it off very well. Sometimes, it might seem that her voice lacks feelings because of her low drawl, but I think that itself is her style?

• ToyBox (original by Jimmythumb)
• Kusari no Shoujo (original by NoboruP)
• Dancer in the Dark (original by fatmanP)
• Tower (original by KEI)

nikki says

I first heard MISAKI's Rip=Release cover and fell in love with it, although it was shabbily mixed (if it was) compared to other singers' back then. Gradually, the mixing of her songs got better and even her range and voice quality improved. I love singers with clear voices so I appreciated her covers very much, whether it's super low or super high. I think hers is the only cover of Dancer in the Dark that I appreciate XDD;. She is nice to listen to if you like your singers with less screechy extremely high voices, moe voices, etc. or if you like Yamai, Erin and Yoru :).

Jack posted in his blog that he will be part of a CD to be released during VoMas 12 on May 9, 2010.

Why do I have the feeling that September is the month of uploading for Nico Nico singers? I had to wade through over 50 pages of uploads and not even reach half of the month's uploads, LOL. The shiny stuff today are still from singers we are familiar with. There are new people mixed in, though, so please check them out, too :3.

Under the cut because there are 10 songs in all + nico image previews. Click the titles to go to the Nicovideo page. As usual, you can input the Nico link in nicosound to download the .mp3 file.

( 10 new songs )

Also, not yet uploaded in Nicovideo, but Valshe has posted an .mp3 download of her latest cover: 孤独の果て (Kodoku no Hate), originally sung by Kagamine Rin. Just scroll down the entry I linked above and find the link to download :).

Okay, that's it for now. Back to transliterating lyrics for me :3.
