Annual Utattemita Ranking 2011 (12-25-10 to 12-25-11)



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 [personal profile] 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 Ranking 2011 Uploads )

KIRIBAN RANKS
The kiriban ranks are songs that land in certain numbers in the rankings.

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.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 164 (December 19-26, 2011)



Merry Christmas! This week is indeed "merry" because of the large amount of collaboration uploads, plus interesting uploads which include covers of English songs, dance covers by utaite, and rearranged covers of songs. There are also quite a few PONPONPON covers lingering this week, which are still awesome by default. This is the last Weekly Utattemita Ranking of the year, so enjoy!

Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 163 (December 12-19, 2011)



This week, we are facing the second part of the PONPONPON matsuri as well as an influx of popular people suddenly uploading songs (Yaybisasamakkufaneruetc). We also have quite a few Babylon covers for some good reason. It's a pretty predicatable ranking, but I hope you enjoy the variety this one gives (in between the PON and the WEI).

From now on, I'll prioritize linking the English version.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 162 (December 05-12, 2011)



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.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 150 (September 12-19, 2011)



HAPPY 150th Utaran!


Wow, it seems like it hasn't been long since the 100th ranking! It means I've been doing this forever, huh? XD Anyway, you thought the Maji Love fever is gone? THINK AGAIN. Also, there's a lot of Cosmos covers, which probably makes otetsu a happy guy :D.

Aaaand, Utaran-san decided to troll us in this week's pickup ranking (which he had done...a couple of times before), so please look forward to that XD;.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 147 (August 22-29, 2011)



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.

Apologies for the lateness. I...have a lot of things going on at the moment, the most important is me being sick with some weird stomach flu thingy (yeah don't ask, it gets worse ^^;). Anyway, this week has a few retains from the previous week as well as a loooot of collabs. There aren't really big, big uploads this week, but please do check out the ranking for a few keysuke treasures worth watching :).

I'm so late. Sorry. There's a lot going on right now which I can't enumerate so yeah. The Vocaran is also late. I'll...upload it tomorrow. I really am very sorry T_T;

Anyway, this week has a bandwagon song and that's 40mP's Shiryokukensa, so you'll be seeing a lot of eyesight test covers today. There's quite a few returners this week, too, if you might notice. There are also some repeating names (Glutamine, 96neko, Wotamin...) but there are also a lot of left-overs from the previous week. Anyway, it's not a letdown or an impressive week, pretty normal but there are still a lot to check out.

Monthly Nico Nico Indies Ranking - August 2011



You might remember that I did a sort of intro post (plus a previous ranking writeup) for Nico Nico Indies Ranking. This is the ranking for this month. As I said, NNI is much more slow-moving compared to utattemita and Vocaloid, so you might still encounter songs here which appeared in the previous ranking. In order to keep your interests piqued, I'll copy my intro discussion on the artist from last ranking as they appear here. :)

Nico Nico Monthly Indies Ranking - July 2011

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 #140 (July 04-11, 2011)

Apologies for being late. I have no Internet at home and I just snuck!wrote this while I'm busy with work. I'll try my best to post Vocaran later or tomorrow, too. I'm sad that I don't get to flail much with the songs since I can't load Nico Nico Douga here at all so please ignore my lack of witty comments. There are a LOT of wonderful new songs this week, particularly in the top ten. There's also a gratuitous amount of crack and parodies. There is also a ton of tapir song covers XD. A couple of singers here in the ranking are more known in the namahousou part of NND and just crossed over here. Hope you enjoy them despite the boring writeup!

PS: You may also notice the lack of "overall ranking" data in my writeup. It's because I can't load the video to see them ^^;. Ignore those for now as I'll add them later when I find an opportunity to watch the video. Sorry again.

Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 129 (April 18-25, 2011)

This week is full of collabs and pairings, so expect to see a lot of them filling the rankings. You might notice last week that there is a slight bandwagoning of Suki Kirai? Well, it's not dying down and you'll even see more of them next week.

Anyway, you might notice that the Weekly Utaran has changed video dimensions (it's clearer and wider now!) as well as frame designs XD. I feel bad for not mentioning last week, but the portions are now of different colors (new uploads is blue, overall ranking is purple, pickup is light blue and history is orange). Utaran-san made great efforts to customize the presentation to everyone's viewing comforts, too, with all the data collected in the sides and properly labeled. Of course, make sure you stare hard at the screen at the rank intervals because Hibiki (if you don't know who Hibiki is...he's the Utaran mascot) appears in the frames, too XD.

So, this ranking is now color-coded. The links have colors specific to the portions so as to avoid confusion. The song names are still clickable, by the way. Please tell me if it looks okay or not. If not, I'll revert to the old format!

Okay I will stop gushing now before you close your tab XD.

Note: Due to my lack of computer these past weeks (I'm merely borrowing my sister's computer and tweeting using my computer at work <-- worthless employee), I'm in a hurry to put this out. Please forgive the lack of descriptions.

There are quite a few of new stuff this week, partly because people are still trying to keep up with life over uploading covers, a few weeks after the earthquake. But as expected, we get a bandwagon song in the form of the dangerously catchy AC CM. So many covers, Utaran-san even set up a ranking just for it XD;.

Aisatsu no Mahou (AC Japan) Utattemita Ranking

First of all, for those who do not know about this meme, you can visit [livejournal.com profile] singing_robots's introduction about it as well as existing Vocaloid covers/arrangements of it here! It's important that you know what is this song that's rolling at the back of your head over and over!!

Now that that's clear...

Because of the TONS of covers for this really, insanely, ridiculously catchy song, Utaran-san did a separate ranking for it. It's just 1 minute and 40 seconds long...but it will be stuck in your head forever LOL.

So, since there's a ranking, there'll be a writeup. Here's the top 30 Aisatsu no Mahou utattemita/covers in NND ^^; This is in order (1-30) and will include only the singer names, because, well...it's just one song.

This week is awesome because there are many, many wonderful covers from people we all know and love. The new number one caused a lot of songs from the same singer to return to the ranking.
