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

Stuff

• There are too many Vocaloid-related stuff happening at the moment (events, album release, etc.) and I am not updated with everything ;;. If you want to be updated with stuff, you can view the Vocaloid Schedule in Miku blog. It has all the releases, JOYSOUND stuff and events listed.

• For those who have found DYE -Synthesis-, Reversus and Hysteresis to be wonderful and would love to have a copy, the albums are available in Toranoana :).

• Usa Colony has opened the website for UTAU Ureine Usa

• Speaking of Usa Colony, I'm sure we are all aware of their live concert this November. The lineup includes Usa, Tourai, Syana (KurousaP), Kobayashi Onix, 19's sound factory, doriko and hajime. Their guests musicians include Shobon from MINT and Tissue-hime.

• Valshe's album 「storyteller」 now has a crossfade up in Nico Nico Douga here.

• The net tickets for the next Daikaigi concert is now for sale here. I posted the guest list before here.

• Lead Is New Emotion (L.I.N.E.) which is a duo composed of utaite che:Sakurai and arranger/composer HYBRID SENSE are to release an album this coming October. The name of the mini album is dawn of new emotion. You can check out their myspace for other information (as well as pictures :3).

• We have something to look forward to for the next M3 (Music, Media-mix Market). Omatsuri Boyz composed of That, Clear, Kettaro, Mi-chan, Kouhei (Hagane Tsuwamono) and Donnie is planning to release something in that con/event. No details as of yet, but you can view their website here

• Clear held a mini-live in Tower Records last night which was broadcasted in Nico Nico Douga. I have a report as well as other stuff in his fansite. If you have the time, please answer the survey in the report post ;)! The lack of clear updates here is because I'm putting them all there, sorry ^^;.

• Next week's Nicoraji seems to be utaite-packed. On Monday (09/20) they will have Asamaru and Jack as guests. On Tuesday (09/21) they will have Clear and Nero. You can view Nicoraji here. It starts 22:00 Japan time.

• The guy who does the Weekly Utattemita Ranking has been referring to the English writeups in this comm for a few weeks already, so everyone, please behave XD. If you are on twitter, please thank him for his hard work every week. His twitter is here :).


ETAs:

• the_desserter posted about the next Dokinama
• Nicoraji just announced that they will have Dasoku and Gero as their guests on Wednesday, so that makes it three days of Utaite galore in Nicoraji.


I know I've missed a lot of news about other personalities mainly because I am following only a certain number of people. If you have any news to share, feel free to put them in the comments! I should start making a contribution post or something /shot

Sorry for the late updates. I'm having so much fun in the "introduce yourself post" I kind of got lazy with the spotlights and updates, all of which I'm doing now! Also I'm trying to get a couple of friends into the fandom (again) and I'm still thinking of how to go about it. I suck at writing intro posts seriously XDD;.

Anyway, updates!

• It seems that there is a planned novelization of mothy's Aku no Musume/Meshitsukai series. There are no details released yet but here is some more info in Fujyoshinews (in Japanese), though.

• If you enjoyed the Utattemoratta CD 1 (theme: ikemen voices), you'll definitely love Utattemoratta CD 2 (theme: gender-defying voices). This is going to be released August 27 (clear's birthday lol) and will include Hitori, che:sakurai, vip-tenchou, Kogeinu and Lon. It's kind of stingy there are only two people in the cover though ;;.

• As I said in twitter, clear should take lessons on "how to pose for a CD cover" from Piko, who is to release his debut album. Limited edition has a DVD, too! Pretty face is pretty, I'm ashamed to be female, etc. While you're ordering why not order Irregular Voices by Ouzoku Band (y'know, the one with Tissue hime) feat. Sekihan, too XD. This was released last month so it's a bit older.

• G.W. Nicolai website is updated with some info, art and demo of the seven singles they're releasing. Remember the ones having singles are ASK, Gero, Nodoame (lol lollipop art), Pokota, Yuge, Kogeinu and Makomakkou. You can view the crossfade demo in the "special" part of the site. And the tracklist at the "product" part. Here's a translation of what they are going to sing:

Gero: Kutabare PTA (NashimotoP) and From Y to Y (Jimmythumb)
ASK: Eh? Aa, Sou (papiyon) and d's (Kudou Yasumoto)
Kogeinu: Kusari no Shoujo (NoboruP) and Shinryoku no Kaze (Studio IMO)
Yuge: Dancing Samurai (mathru) and Neta Kiri Goukin Depenza (Don McCow/MML)
Pokota: Scissorhands (Nem) and Kuro no Kata Tsubasa (Studio IMO)
Nodoame: Migikata no Chou -Len ver.- (Noripy) and Spider Kiss (Ritsu Inoue)
Makomakkou: Spice! (minato) and Heaven's Door (Don McCow)

Some of them aren't Vocaloid songs :). At the moment, there is no way to buy the CDs aside from the shop but it might be available in Animate and other sites soon :).

• Usa Colony 4 has its site up with MP3 previews of the tracklist. It also has a crossfade demo in Nicovideo here. This will be released August 14, 2010 at Comiket.

• That kind of epic collab CD in a graceful sound has released a crossfade demo here. Remember this CD involves collaborations with producers 40mP, FullkawaP, Scop, ←P, KuwagataP and kous; and singers Tourai, Tabun Jibun, Erusi, Rumdarjun, Usa and F9.

• For those interested in BL games, "Nessa no Rakuen" has an OP teaser here (SLIgHTLY NSFW AND BL OF COURSE!) You might remember Dasoku is singing the opening song. Get your tissues ready.

• In case you missed it the first time I posted it, here is another page of the Utattemoratta 1 (clear, ASK, Dasoku, Pokota, Kettaro) CD interview. This one contains voice messages as well as handwritten ones (holy crap ASK's message D:).

• Before we get to the crazy part, have some random dancing by Pokota which is the reason why my brain broke last night.

• Now for the crazy part. Nico Nico Douga is actually holding an end-of-summer fest which involves a 27-hour marathon of guests from 18:00 TODAY up to 20:40 of the next day (Sunday). There is a list of guests here and they will only appear at certain times. In order to watch, just click the view tab in the site and you'll be seeing few ustream channels. The guests are singers, musicians, producers and gamers. I translated some of the guests' names (only the ones relevant to this comm) and the time they will appear under the cut. All of the time is in JPN time so please convert to your timezone~.

And that ends our update XD. I'll squeeze in some of the news later if something comes up~!

A new album from Valshe and Tourai

According to Tourai/minato's blog, Valshe is going to release a new album this September 23, 2010. Most of the tracks are original songs written by Valshe and minato. Minato also said he'll be singing in some songs during the chorus :P.



STORYTELLER

illustration: hakuseki
singer: valshe

tracklist includes:
- Myself (lyrics: valshe and minato, music: minato)

* plus some more tracks totaling 9 in all.

You can visit the album's official website here.

It's late and I have work tomorrow so making this quick. This ranking has a lot of falls and only a few rises. But top 3 is definitely predictable in terms of singer notoriety XD.

↑# - 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!
