This week, Senbonzakura still reigns supreme, making it a bandwagon song that doesn't pale in comparison to Matryoshka and Ura Omote Lovers. This week also gives us a bit of nostalgia because there are a lot of covers of old songs, songs we have encountered when we're all new to the fandom. I hope you enjoy this one.

Also, as a very kind move, Utaran-san is trying to upload the Weekly Utattemita Ranking IN ENGLISH. That means the blurb, the intro notes as well as the data in the ranking will all be in English. This is really a plus especially to those who have a hard time watching and/or commenting in the original ranking. The English ranking will be uploaded in Nico Nico.Com and for starters, he has created a mirror of the ranking there. If you cannot comment in Japanese in the original NND video, go all out in commenting in the English site to show your comments and reactions to the ranking as well as thanks to Utaran-san, who is painstakingly trying to reach out to us foreign fans.

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

Weekly Utattemita Ranking # 153 (October 03-10, 2011)



This week hasn't marked the end of the Senbonzakura rave, and yet we have another bandwagon song going and it's "Kagerou Days" by Jin. We might need a separate ranking for this one, too XD. Anyway, because of two songs' covers piling up everywhere, you'll notice that Utaran-san has once again used those amusing phasing where one cover blends into the next. Aside from these two songs, there are still more, including covers of buzzG's new songs, etc. so there's still more to look out for.

This week doesn't have a lot of popular utaite, but it's a good week because there are new/less popular utaite rising to the top with covers that are really worth listening to. I hope you'll get to know more people in this ranking! Also, there are tons of Workers this week, so let's say hello to them! /badpunisproofthatnikkiisdeadtiredorz

Also, my deadline weeks have started once again at work, and after writing chemistry and physics articles the whole day, my brain kind of fizzed and died. Apologies for lack of comments, I'm just really tired T_T;. I'll do the Vocaran tomorrow, with hopefully more comments. Please look forward to it.

Since I'm on vacation today, I'm posting the Vocaran while we wait for Utaran :D. I looooooove this week so much because there are a lot of new, amazing releases from famous producers and new ones that have so much potential (I swear, I will stop using 'so much' so much). Because of the awesome new stuff, there are only a few left from last week's ranking, some of them pulled down as a consequence. Still, there are some surprising returns (Matryoshka, what!) and rises. I hope this week will also be an interesting listen for you guys, too, so let's get started.

This week has overloads of maji love 1000% (still?!), Kuwagata (not the P) song by UramanbouP (both versions are awesome), 40mP songs and Ano Hana theme in the pickup. We have an interesting yet limited selection this week, it should be easier to go through them. Enjoy :).

Also, if there are any errors, please forgive me. I fell asleep while writing this and I woke up just in time to stop myself from writing "Koman" instead of Marasy and "Chef" instead of Soraru (yeah, don't ask). OTL.

What to expect in this ranking: Tons of Maji Love 1000% in all forms (parody, normal, zenbu-ore, ballad, etc.). A lot of Dakishimeta Tonight covers (yay!), A couple of Clear (yaaay!!) and some utaite we haven't heard from in a long time uploading awesome covers.

This week doesn't have a lot of new stuff but there are tons of amazing ones! There is also a large part of duets and collabs, all of which are interesting. There are a lot of returners (hi Lon, Glutamine XD) and 2 songs that came back because they reached a million views. Anyway, I'm sleepy so let's get on with it. And make sure you listen to the ED because it's awesome.

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.

You might notice that dreamwidth's celebrating Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, which commemorates the site's anniversary. We're very thankful to DW for giving us a place for this comm as well as giving invites so you guys can make journals so we'd like to participate in the celebration as well. The thing is we haven't thought of what to do XD. But we will, somehow, so please wait for it XD. In the meantime, there's a comm for all celebratory stuff in DW and it's [community profile] three_weeks_for_dw so please check them out :).

Yurin / ゆりん

mylist | nico community | blog | mixi community

Yurin is a very prolific utaite, having uploaded over 50 covers despite having started just last year in January. Because he has tons of covers, his growth and development as an utaite is also apparent and it's amazing how much he had improved within just months.

Yurin's voice is thin and very boyish, which is why you might think that he prefers singing ballads and pop songs, but actually it's the opposite. Yurin seems to prefer popular rock songs a lot and he is very good at singing them. His wide vocal range gives him quite an edge and he sounds wonderful even if the song is really high. He carries each song well because of his ability to sing in both very low and very high notes. Even without the thickness of voice usually found in strong singers, he has a slight, recognizable edge of roughness in his voice that helps him give force in upbeat and rock songs. In terms of voice quality, he's like a cross between Keysuke and Amu.

His almost permanent duet partner is Kano. He has A LOT of covers, but it's obvious that he prefers songs by yukkedoluce, hachi, HoehoeP and he likes jumping popular song bandwagons, which is why his songs are often overshadowed even if he sounds amazing in them.

sample songs (solo)
Maigo Life (NishizawasanP original)
Kimi ga Suki (yukkedoluce original)
Badbye (Koman original)
Rinne (Hachi original)
Last Last (VocaliodP original)

sample songs (duet)
Monocross Road (with Kano feat. Marco)
Suki Kirai (with Kano)
Antidichlorobenzene x Paradichlorobenzene (with Kano)


nikki says
I actually got to know Yurin when Yukkedoluce spazz-tweeted about him covering "Reflect". Yurin's covers are very hit-or-miss for me. However, he is one of those utaite I've watched grow/improve and if you listen to his covers starting from the earliest to the recent, you can see the apparent improvement not only on his vocal range, but in the quality of his uploads, too. And I think he'll keep on improving in terms of vocal quality and popularity XD.
