- おふろ ♨ タイム -

You might remember that I did a sort of intro post (plus a previous ranking writeup) for Nico Nico Indies Ranking. This is the ranking for this month. As I said, NNI is much more slow-moving compared to utattemita and Vocaloid, so you might still encounter songs here which appeared in the previous ranking. In order to keep your interests piqued, I'll copy my intro discussion on the artist from last ranking as they appear here. :)

Annual Utattemita Ranking 2010 (12-25-09 to 12-25-10)

Happy 2011! あけましておめでとうございます！

As what I've done last year, here's the writeup for the massive, massive annual utattemita ranking 2010. Since this is a large list, I won't be including some of the stuff I include in the weekly utaran. For this, I'll only be posting the Romanized/translated title of the song, the singer/mylist and the link to the original song. Since most of these songs are from the weekly utarans all throughout 2010, I'll also spare you my spazz unless I can't keep myself quiet :D. Onto the 5-part special!



PART 1
PART 2
PART 3
PART 4
PART 5

* The parts are divided in many subparts, but for the purpose of continuity, I organized my writeup differently from the order in the videos.

As I've done the past year, this will be in a different format than the weekly utaran. To create more suspense, let's write it backwards from 100 to 001 :3. EVerything will be written backwards from here on.


UTATTEMITA RANKING 2010
The main part of this special is the Utattemita Ranking 2010. This is a ranked list of the best 100 songs uploaded from 12-25-2009 to 12-25-2010 which had gained a lot of views, mylists and comments. Here is the list from 100 to 001.

KIRIBAN RANKS
* this list is also in reverse.

The kiriban ranks are songs that land in certain numbers in the rankings.

NICO NICO INDIES x UTATTEMITA RANKING # 01-30

This ranking include songs uploaded in 2010 and have both "Nico Nico Indies" and "Utattemita" written in their tags. Some of them are collaborations between a Vocaloid producer and an utaite. This list is also in reverse, from 30 to 01.

UTATTEMITA VIDEOS BEST 100

You can refer to this ranking like the "overall weekly ranking" in weekly utaran. These are songs not uploaded in 2010 but have gained tons views, comments and mylists from 12-25-2009 to 12-25-2010. As expected, some of them are also the highest viewed, commented and mylisted videos of all time in this category. I did not elaborate on them like I did in the main ranking since you know most of these songs already, I bet XD. This list is also in reverse, from 100 to 001.

ENDING SONGS

These are the ending themes used in the ranking while the rest of the songs (beyond top 100) are flashed.

WHEW. That took me a long time. I hope you enjoyed this annual ranking as much as I did. While I expected some songs to be in the ranking but did not end up there at all, I guess the top spots are pretty predictable, aren't they? :D

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!

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 【彩】初音ミクの暴走＊歌ってみた【ななひら】
• Hatsune Miku no Bousou [Nanahira]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by cosMo/BousouP

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.

( Overall Weekly Ranking under the cut )

Utaran is a little late tonight so I'm running low on energy (it's 1AM ^^;). I'll make this quick. There's not much that's new in the ranking. Actually, most are pull-ups from the lower 30's, caused by more Rolling Girl's syndromes and Faneru. This is a pretty steady ranking without any surprising stuff to see, to be honest :).

↑# - 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. 【K 太】雪峰 ～yukimine～ Piano ＆ Strings Ver. 【らむだーじゃん】
• ~yukimine~ piano and strings ver. [K-ta and Rumdarjun]
• mylists: K-ta, Rumdarjun
• Hatsune Miku original by x-on
• K-ta and Rumdarjun covered my favorite xi-on song :3. This is a rather poignant song about missing someone; I originally loved it when wotamin covered it. Two men singing it seems to be a bit weird-sounding since the song is so gentle, but aside from K-ta's slight rough notes, it sounds good.

o2. (｡･ｘ･)つ 【アルビノ】を歌ってみた＠うさ
• Albino [Usa]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by buzzG
• Usa follows Tourai's trend and covers this wonderful song by buzzG. I'm happy to see Usa singing more rock-ish, deep songs :3. This could've ranked higher if it was uploaded earlier.

o3. ボクモテ歌ってみた　Ver.しゃむおん
• Boku Mote [Shamuon]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Len original by hami
• LOL. I'm amused that more people (and boys) are covering this cute song. I still like tane's effort more, but just someone covering this song is adorable enough.

o4. いさじさんの声真似で「迎愛サーキュレーション」を歌ってみた
• Renai Circulation (Isaji ver.) [Piyopiyoppe]
• This is becoming popular again XD;;.

o5. 【ニコニコ海賊団】Piecing Smiles（オリジナル）
• Piecing Smiles [collaboration]
• I understand this is some sort of a tribute to One Piece? Participants include Sera, Kani, Nico Nico Kaizokudan, Zim, Nikuman, cha_key, Negi, etc.

o6. 折れてないマイクでAliceを歌ってみた
• Alice [Dakishimeta Tonight]
• singer's mylist

• Quite a lot of people covering Alice recently :3.

• Unbalance [Shiina Mari]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by Dios/SignalP

o8. アイシンクアンシン　を歌ってみた（vip店長）

It's late and I can't do the Vocaranking tonight, too. So you'll have to wait until tomorrow night for that, I'm really sorry :(. Work eats everything ^^;.
