As with last year, here is the huge annual utattemita ranking for 2011. As all of these songs have been featured in the Weekly Utaran (multiple times even!), I won't be including small details. I'll just be including the Romanized title, the singer, and the original composer. As my Internet is acting up as usual, I wasn't able to include links to the mylists and all that but I hope you understand :).

The Annual Utattemita Ranking is made up of several parts, all of them will be listed here in reverse order unlike my usual style. Let's look at them one by one :).

PART 1
PART 2
PART 3
PART 4

ETA: There were some errors in the ranking, particularly in part 2, so changes have also been applied accordingly in this post. Thank you for the assistance monocian!


UTATTEMITA 2011 UPLOAD RANKING - 100 to 001
The main part of this special is the Utattemita Ranking 2011. This is a ranked list of the best 100 songs uploaded from 12-25-2010 to 12-25-2011 which had gained a lot of views, mylists and comments. Here is the list from 100 to 001.

UTATTEMITA PRE-2011 UPLOADS BEST 100

You can refer to this ranking like the "overall weekly ranking" in weekly utaran minus the new videos. These are songs not uploaded in 2011 but have gained tons views, comments and mylists from 12-25-2010 to 12-25-2011. As expected, some of them are also the highest viewed, commented and mylisted videos of all time in this category. This list is also in reverse, from 100 to 001.

Aaand there you have them. I apologize for being a day late. And because I'm late and it's a Monday (which is Utaran day), I'll have to move the first ever Weekly Utaran writeup for 2012 tomorrow. So sorry! But I'm sure you've enjoyed this one btw. This can also be a good guide for you to backtrack the popular songs last year, discover new songs and new singers.

Based on the previous post here, you should've known that this is the PONPONPON Matsuri Week, which means there are TONS of covers of this super catchy song you'll end up singing it while you sleep! Worry not though since there are actually many arrangements of the song (and many styles in terms of covering it) so you won't be bored. It's a PONPONPON dominated week, but make sure to check out the other covers, too, since they are all equally good.

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

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!

A bit late, but I tried my best to post this this week. The past week was a bit uninteresting for me but this week there's quite a lot of good and cracked ones (lol!). Glutamine wins the most uploads award for uploading tons, probably to promote his upcoming album. The rest are quite special, too, so please don't miss them!

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 doesn't have a lot of popular utaite, but it's a good week because there are new/less popular utaite rising to the top with covers that are really worth listening to. I hope you'll get to know more people in this ranking! Also, there are tons of Workers this week, so let's say hello to them! /badpunisproofthatnikkiisdeadtiredorz

Also, my deadline weeks have started once again at work, and after writing chemistry and physics articles the whole day, my brain kind of fizzed and died. Apologies for lack of comments, I'm just really tired T_T;. I'll do the Vocaran tomorrow, with hopefully more comments. Please look forward to it.

ATTENTION: Apparently, the MAJI LOVE COVER phase is 1000% STILL NOT OVER. So we're getting them by the bulk this week, some of them cracky, some of the....wait. ALL OF THEM CRACKY. Which is probably the reason why I'm writing in caps today. Apparently, the large amount of Maji Love I watched today has affected my cracky mentality! /shot

Seriously, though, there are only a few remaining from the previous week and there are a lot of wonderful songs this week. Of course, there's still the Shiryokukensa madness (a few), and lots and lots of collabs, which means you'll be seeing new names today :). Anyway, I'll stop rattling like a parrot and get on with the ranking.

PS: Thank you to everyone who offered their condolences and gave me comforting words during my trying days. I'm okay now, just still busy with work but I'm back online and I'll try my best to keep up with the community activity. Many, many thanks to stephieku for being patient with me even if I'm overworking her :(. So, so, sorry for the delay and angst and everything else! Next month is a new beginning /o/ ♥, nikki

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 #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.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking #117 (January 24-31, 2011)

The past week had a lot of strong songs which refused to go away this week, so you'll still see them lingering in the higher parts of the ranking (loltaroulol). But, there are also a wealth of new songs worth checking out, most of them from singers you already know and love :).

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.

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.

( nico nico indies x utattemita ranking )


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.

( ending songs )



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
