Weekly Utaran #103 (October 18-25, 2010)

NEW UPLOAD RANKING

o1. 【Vin】Corruption Garden【吐いてみた】
• Corruption Garden [Vin]
• singer's mylist
• Megurine Luka original by Caz
• This is actually the first male cover of this song that I've listened to, and I think Caz's song has been upped in GAR points by Vin ^^;. I don't usually like screamo, but wow, wth was that. I guess people have also been checking Vin after he was announced as a guest in a mini-concert next year :).

o2. 追跡立方体、キューブ　歌ってみた－遊
• Tsuizeki Rippoutai, Cube [Yuu]
• singer's mylist
• Kagamine Rin original by NankaisekaiP
• I haven't gotten used to Yuu's voice, but I also haven't gotten to his choice of songs LOL. It's always creepy though XD.

o3. 【つきじ】「また君に恋してる」歌ってみた
• Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru [Tsukiji]
• singer's mylist
• This reminds me of old anime ;_;. The voice is really pretty, too! Like...Okiayu Ryoutarou.

o4. 「Sweet devil」を歌ってみた【グリリ】
• Sweet Devil [Guriri]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by HachioujiP
• I actually like this better than Nobunaga's version. There's still a mountain of autotune in this song, which can't be helped, but Guriri sounds more solid and more refined. There's a bit of awkwardness with the phrasing but you can't help getting confused with the Engrish in this song ^^;.

o5. 「after this」歌ってみた＠そらこ
• after this [Sorako]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by NioP
• I haven't heard from Sorako much before this so I'm kind of glad she's uploading pretty covers again. Her high voice suits NioP's Miku range, although sometimes a bit missing from her cover. Very simply sung, which makes it a nice listen.

o6. 「Specification」歌ってみた【柿チョコ】
• Specification [Kakichoco]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by papiyon
• One of the clearest covers of this song that I've heard. Kakichoco nailed the song and how to make it sound crisp and clear and full of feelings without effort.

o7. 【APヘタリア】アメリカとイギリスでマトリョシカ【歌ってみた】
• (Hetalia Parody) Amerika to Igirisu de Matryoshka [collaboration]
• Hatsune Miku and GUMI original by hachi
• Here comes the anime!Matryoshka bandwagon. I find them really amusing for some reason, the serifu especially.

o8. 声 - 歌ってみました。
• Koe [Konori]
• singer's mylist
• Kamui Gakupo original by TambourineP
• Konori does Gakupo really well as always, although I have to remind myself to separate him from Machige's creepy works as I listen.

o9. 「ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール」　辻ヒールしてみました
• Net Game Haijin Sprechor [Boku]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
• Reminds me of Nanahira, just one the more shriller level LOL ^^;

1o. 「ネトゲ廃人シュプレヒコール」歌ってみた。 ver.こ～ら
• Net Game Haijin Sprechor [Ko~ra]
• singer's mylist
• Hatsune Miku original by Satsuki ga Tenkomori
• Ko~ra has a nice voice that I wouldn't think would sound good in rock-ish songs but he actually did the song well.
