Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #104 – “Is it gone, mommy?”

Hmm… looks like the “Site Busy!“-errors are gone for now. Better make this article quick before they come back.

Anyways, we are now at the final testing phase of “The MELTDOWN Effect”-theory. So far, we’ve only seen a slight decline of points (which can also be attributed to fan interest) in the previous rankings. This means, because of the overall downward shift of songs, the mainstays get to retain their ranks within the Top-30 despite lower scores.

Y’know, this also leads me to wonder: what are Japanese Vocaloid fans actually saying about iroha(sasaki)‘s decision to delete Roshin Yuukai/MELTDOWN and disqualify it from WVR? The new upload isn’t getting as much hits as its predecessor used to (partly because it wasn’t being “bumped” anymore)… Is it even that controversial to begin with? We may find out soon enough.

• #14: 【オリジナル曲PV】結ンデ開イテ羅刹ト骸【初音ミク】 (Down from 13) – I tried translating this song’s title, but since I screwed up “Opposite Lovers,” I’d like to check someone else’s notes.

• #10: 【初音ミク】ねこみみスイッチ【オリジナル】 (Down from 2) – This may be my new favorite song.

• #7: 【初音ミク】Until Rebirth【オリジナル】 (NEW)

• #5: 巡音ルカオリジナル曲 「No Logic」 (Down from 1) – GAH~!!! NOW I REMEMBER!!! Those previous songs were also from this guy, and he’s made TONS of them! Gotta love this song at the moment. <3

• #4: 【初音ミク】Sweet Sweet Cendrillon Drug【オリジナル】 (NEW) – Okay, true believers. Cendrillion was before my time, so tell me. Sequel? Remix? Unrelated?

• #3: [初音ミク] キミ以上、ボク未満。 [オリジナル曲] (NEW) – Is it me, or does the opening sounds so much like Ai Kotoba from the same producer?

• #2: 巡音ルカオリジナル曲 「Toy Box」 (NEW) – Looks like ジミーサムＰ’s success with No Logic has spawned another Luka top-charter. Good job! Back-to-back Top 3’s for Luka. GJ indeed.

• #1: 【鏡音レン】パラジクロロベンゼン【破壊系洗脳ソング】 (Up from 6) – And here’s our chemical song from Len, listening to it on repeat really does have that brainwashing effect there. Sonika gets the brass ring Gumi has yet to grasp. Len gets his first #1 since May. All this and nearly 360k points. Not bad at all.

So that’s that for the final testing phase. World is Mine and BRS are at the brink of getting booted off the Top-30, MELT and Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru actually went up some ranks, and a few songs remain unmoved. What does this say about my theory, then? You guys be the judge! Oops, too late. We’re in recess.
