Vocaloid NND Weekly Ranking
Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #144 “Unselected”
The summer is heating up (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) and it’s only gotten hotter with new news on Vocaloids Lily and Tonio. It’s shaping up to be a battle of East and West, Europe and Asia, green tea and black tea. Who will win? Probably Miku, but that’s beside the point.
Anyway, we’re not here to talk about the future, we’re here about the past, namely the past week’s top Vocaloid songs. So without further delay, here’s our breakdown. (NOW UPDATED WITH NEW COMMENTARY)
Naho’s Opening Statement:
Here’s the late-due-to-various-reasons VocaRan. Soccer and the elections are over, and peaceful days have come at last. Finally I can rest! …is what many of us are thinking, right?
However, as this week is just before the tri-monthly occuring Vom@s, there’s a rush of various new songs…! They’ll definitely have frontrunner appeal! That’s how I feel!
Well then let’s begin! This week like the rest, from number 30, let’s start!

<no comment>- #21: 初音ミクがオリジナルを歌ってくれたよ「ブラック★ロックシューター」 (↑44)
Shouldn’t surprise anyone. BRS was back in the news recently. This one is over two years old; There really should be a limit on songs in Vocaran. I disagree- #20: 【鏡音レン】砂漠のBLUEBIRD【鏡音リン】 (!!)
Wearing sensible clothes, I see.- #19: 【初音ミク】 ラストスロープ 【オリジナル曲】 (–)
<no comment>- #18: 【鏡音リン・レン】般若の面 -Mask of hannya-【オリジナル・PV】 (↓4)
I love songs like this~ Creepy and Japanese-influenced.- #17: ペンタブと鍵盤【リンオリジナル】 (↓12)
I must say, that’s some crazy bass playing- #16: 【初音ミク】 え？あぁ、そう。 【オリジナル曲】 (↑20)
I think I actually have this song. I like it alot.- #15: 【初音ミク】モノクロライアー【オリジナル】 (!!)
<no comment>- #14: 【初音ミク】ワイトアウト・オ≒バ≒ライン【オリジナル曲】 (!!)
What’s with all the symbols this week? Oh; I know this P. He does alot of anti-war songs, if I’m thinking of the right one. I like his stuff.- #13: 【ミクオリジナル曲】崩壊歌姫 -disruptive diva-【ProjectDIVAac 応募曲】 (↓5)
This is one of my most favorite songs; I don’t care if it’s old; It can just dominate for a few more weeks.- #12: 【鏡音リンレン】MIDI MASTER!!【オリジナルPV】 (–)
I don’t hear no MIDI >: I missed this song some how? Anyway; Love it. I acutally think it should be up higher.- #11: 【初音ミク】ヒトリゴトスイッチ【オリジナルPV】 (!!)
<no comment>
- THIS WEEK’S PICK-UP: 【初音ミク】Imitation Wings【オリジナル曲】 (#69 – !!)
Whee, Gundam…well, that’s what this song reminds me of. I’ve seen this in Daily rans. I thought it was okay, but.. not that super-fantabulous. Just unnappealing to me for some reason- #10: charActer ／ 初音ミク、巡音ルカ fullver.; (!!)
I really like the shiny PV and the music that goes along with it. Definite solid on this week~- #9: 【初音ミクDark】 glow 【オリジナル】 (↓2)
<no comment>- #8: 初音ミク・巡音ルカ オリジナル曲 「ワールズエンド・ダンスホール」 (↑11)
I hardly even hear Luka at all. Eh well, still, this song is nice.- #7: 【初音ミクオリジナル】夢喰いナイトメア【PolyphonicBranch】 (!!)
Mmm, lacey. I like the piano and the beat that fits in really well. Otherwise it’s pretty alright.- #6: 【鏡音リン】 自白 【オリジナル】 (!!)
<no comment>- #5: 【鏡音リン】リンリンHIGH☆MIND【オリジナル】 (!!)
Wow. This is so different, comparatively speaking. Ugh, do not like this song.- #4: 【初音ミク・GUMI(40 ㍍)】 フタリボシ 【オリジナル曲PV付】 (!!)
These two sound really lovely together~ I like last week’s 40mP better

- #3: 初音ミクオリジナル曲 「初音ミクの激唱（LONG VERSION）」 (!!)
Is this cosMo’s slowest song to-date? It’s pretty good. Cute image and nice cosMo, but This song isn’t eerie enough for me, or Maybe I’m just burned out on cosMo.- #2: 【オリジナル曲PV】ワンダーランドと羊の歌【初音ミク】 (↓1)
The PV is really nice; But I don’t care for this song at all. And that ram/sheep thing; It’s mine and I call dibs on it’s adorableness. Anyone else feel bad for that ram?
- #1: 【初音ミクオリジナル曲】ロストエンファウンド【ＰＶ付】 (!!)
Leave it to sasakure to keep things interesting. Not bad, but not sure I can say it’s good. Dunno why; this song just doesn’t impact me as super-fabulous. It’s cute; and the PV is witty, but..
- ED Song: 【初音ミク】 Full Moon 【オリジナル】
This sounds like it shouldn’t be for piano. :/In Other Vocaloid News:
The best from ryoxkzxHatsune Miku has arrived! The single for the commissioned songs for Project DIVA2 “Kocchi Muite Baby/Yellow” will be released on July 14th.
Now, VOCALOID songs haven’t had a single in a while… we should be watching the Oricon chart for this one. If it manages to get a top spot, then Miku’s voice can reach even more people through CDTV or Music Station! (Links provided by me. -dez)
All this is true, but… as you can see, as far as the Oricon goes, there’ll be some stiff competition. There will be famous artists released at the same time. They’re constantly in the top ten, so it’ll be really difficult to come out on top.
What rank will Miku-san get, I wonder? Will it turn out like the album and manage to get first place?! Let’s hope for it!
And having finished its break, the highly anticipated Vom@s 13 will open. The location is the Tokyo Metropolitan Trade Center in the Hamamatsuchou building! There’s no mistake!
Final Thoughts/Analysis:
An interesting note for this week. Our top songs were from, in order, sasakure, Hachi, cosMo, and 40mP. I guess name recognition is still a major contributor to the scores.
Also, has Ali Project figured out how to sing another song yet? [/snark]
…And so with that, we end this week’s Vocaloid Ranking review. Please join us again next week to see if boys rule the roost or the power of boobs prevail.
