- おふろ ♨ タイム -

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.

↑# - 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!

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

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 Utattemita Ranking #106 (November 08-15, 2010)

This is quite an interesting ranking for me because of the new number 1 which seems to be inevitable as well as the influx of unfamiliar singers with wonderful covers. Have fun getting to know them! Also, be prepared for weird old song movements in the ranking.

terry

mylist | blog

terry is a prolific male Nico singer whose name we usually see in collabs and choruses. He is decently popular but since he covers recent releases, he most of the time gets overshadowed by more popular artists despite having wonderful covers. It is sad that I don't know much about him because he only posts about his releases in his blog and doesn't have a twitter ^^;.

Terry's voice is similar to Xiao's, only simpler and more straight to the point as opposed to Xiao's stylistic back-ups and adlibs. He does not have that much strength in his voice so he sounds a little weak in fast, rock-ish songs, but terry has good pitch control and sounds really nice in ballads. Next to Xiao, he is probably the one I consider having a voice quality nearest to KAITO's :).

solo covers
• Lobelia (original by sequel)
• Guilty Verse (original by PeperonP)
• Yume Kake Uta (original by IntroP)
• World's End Umbrella (original by hachi)
• Moumoku no Uchuu Hikoushi (original by yukkedoluce)

collabs
• Ochiba to Waltz with Yoru
• SiGrE with Sorako
• magnet (with knorr)
• Sweetiex2 (with Mizore)
• Country Road (with Sorako) - not a Vocaloid song, but so cute *_*


nikki says:
I don't remember how I got into listening to terry's covers, but I do know I first mentioned him in this post. From then on, I followed his updates and got used to his mellow voice. I don't think I can compare him to clear now, though. LOL. The range + voice type is too different (forgive the inexperienced me back then). Terry has a really soothing voice without edges, like honey. I love his "Guilty Verse" so much as well as his "Yume Kake Uta". But then again, I like most of his covers. Sometimes, there are Vocaloid songs I don't like as much but I grew to like because of his cover (one example is World's End Umbrella ^^; ).

This week's ranking is interesting. There're quite a few choruses, a few stays, Rolling Girls and a rather predictable number 1 :).
