- おふろ ♨ タイム -

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.

MOST COVERED SONGS of 2011

This is a ranking for the most covered songs in the utattemita category. Most of these are, of course, Vocaloid songs. This list is also in reverse.

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.

This is a combination of the rankings for September and October. As the NNI category is pretty slow with updates, there's still a lot of old stuff in this ranking. However, there are also a lot of new ones worth watching, although you may have already encountered them somewhere if you follow some VocaloP/utaite's original stuff. Apologies for the lateness, I didn't realize it was already uploaded OTL.

This week has a lot of new songs from popular utaite, as well as some remnants from last week. Half of the ranking is also composed of the highly successful bandwagon song, Senbonzakura. You can see a wonderful transition portion at the lower part of the ranking, consisting only of Senbonzakura singers XD;.

As usual, not much description tonight. Sorry...

↑# - 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!

Since I dropped the monthly Vocaloid ranking, I decided to replace it this time with the Monthly Nico Nico Indies Ranking.



Nico Nico Indies is a small part of the Nico Nico Douga site where people post their original works. The concept that is different from Vocaloid/Utattemita/Ensoushitemita is that the works here are all original and are usually instrumental or sung by people. Of course, while there are many unfamiliar names here, there are VocaloidPs and utaites that participate in this area, too, especially when they collaborate to sing original songs. Oftentimes, original songs from NNI appear also in utattemita, so you might recognize some of them. NNI is also a very slow-moving category, so there are only a few views/participants than what you might be used to.

I'm glad this ranking is just monthly because gathering information on the artists is a bit difficult, especially since I am also a bit new in this area. Since this writeup is to introduce people to NNI, I tried my best to be as descriptive as possible. If you are a fan of anyone mentioned in this ranking please feel free to chip in other information you can share re: the artist!

Since it has almost the same format, this ranking will be arranged just like the utattemita ranking, minus the colorful letters :). This might be a bit tl;dr than most of my rankings, so please be warned! Also, as I said before, this is a slow-moving category, so you will encounter songs here which you might have already heard months ago :).

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~.
