Weekly VocaRan #154: March of the Monkus

Vocaloid NND Weekly Ranking
Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #154 “Unselected”

Hello everyone, descent87 here, finally making my return from amongst the quagmire of illness combined with college to help with this week’s VocaRan (and yes to work on the blog more…). The amazing Holocauxt is a bit busy, so for now Pokenatic, TodayisOK, and I all did our best to fill the void by piecing this together. Special thanks are due to TodayisOK, one of Vocaloidism newest members, who took up the big challenge of coding all the links for today! Apologies if this is not up to par with the usual excellence, but here are this week’s rankings:

• #30: 【鏡音リン】約束と嘘【オリジナル曲】 (!!)
  
  Kinda nice, but Rin’s voice wears on me here.


• #29: 初音ミク　オリジナル曲「ローリンガール」 (→29)
  
  Still rolling merrily along…


• #28: 【井の頭】Liar Girl【初音ミクオリジナル曲PV付き】 (↓22)
  
  I can see why this is wearing out its welcome, its good in all aspects, but just isn’t unique.


• #27: 【巡音ルカ】fanfan【オリジナル】 (↓11)
  
  New to me, and this is awesome! Love the illustrator’s Luka impression. More by this P pls.


• #26: 【初音ミクアレンジ】般若心経テクノ(どちらかというとTerror気味) (↑87)
  
  Probably need to be fluent to completely appreciate this one, not too musically appealing.


• #25: GUMIオリジナル曲PV付き「シャロケット」 (!!)
  
  Good use of Gumi for a style she shines in, I like this.


• #24: 【初音ミク・巡音ルカ】キ三ノセイ【オリジナル曲】 (!!)
  
  If the clip hasn’t sold you listen to the whole thing.


• #23: 【オリジナル曲PV】結ンデ開イテ羅刹ト骸【初音ミク】 (↑42)
  
  Another bounce back for Rakshasa, I’m new to it so I don’t mind yet. Good song to get in the Halloween spirit.


• #22: 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」 (↑28)
  
  People, let’s go dig up the Rin/Len version for variety, that had merit too. wowaka still rules.


• #21: 【初音ミク】　闇プログラマー　【オリジナル】 (!!)
  
  “Dark Programmer”, good stuff.


• #20: 本格的ダーク♂般若心経【初音ミクdark♂】 (!!)
  
  Sick beat keeps me from worrying about weird background art lol.


• #19: 【初音ミク】般若心経ミクスチャー【アレンジ曲】 (↑60)
  
  Creative outreach to the Bhuddist youth, hope people enjoy it.


• #18: 【初音ミクAppend】 心拍数♯0822 【オリジナル曲】 (↓6)
  
  Always appreciated this P, but this one has been making me a true fan.


• #17: 【初音ミク】般若心経アニメ版OP【アレンジ】 (!!)
  
  Nevermind quality (which is good), what is up with the new found Vocaloid pop spirituals section. This isn’t offending people somewhere is it?


• #16: 【鏡音リン】Cosmic star 【オリジナル曲のリメイク】 (!!)
  
  THIS. More of this from Rin pls, great job emon.


• #15: 【初音ミク】　般若心経ピコピコ　【アレンジ】 (↑125)
  
  um…


• #14: 【初音ミク】般若心経バラード 【アレンジ】 (↑47)
  
  Ok….no offense if I am missing out on the biggest meme ever or something, but is this troll?


• #13: 【GUMI】　心の音　【オリジナル】 (!!)
  
  Once again this is good, but Gumi gets generic with this sometimes.


• #12: 【巡音ルカ】 あばずれにブルースを 【オリジナルPV付】 (↓10)
  
  Some darn good “mature” Luka here.


• #11: 【鏡音レン】ボーダーランズ！【ロック気味オリジナル曲】 (↑19)
  
  Len songs moving up is impressive lol, this is deserving. (<-I'm hard on the guy's voice usually)

• THIS WEEK’S PICK-UP: 【初音ミクAppend】ЯΛΝ！【オリジナル曲】 (#44)
  Lol its like a Rin-Append of Miku…but jk this is a pleasant song.


• #10: 【初音ミク】potato-head in wonderland　【オリジナル】 (!!)
  
  I don’t see the appeal, its not even delightfully creepy or tantalizingly insane.


• #09: 【初音ミクdark】 般若心経×ミツバチ 【マッシュアップ？】 (↑134)
  
  <no comment>


• #08: 【GUMI】モザイクロール【オリジナル曲PV付】 (↑14)
  
  Was losing faith in the list a bit till the voters “preserved” this one up the chart. Low ranking week is just that.


• #07: 【初音ミク】　般若心経ハードコア　【アレンジ】 (↑25)
  
  <no comment>


• #06: 【初音ミク】 深海少女 【オリジナル】 (↓1)
  
  Pretty, and ok staying power. I now see how this one got up there last week, it gives you what you expect but with enough catchiness that it becomes one of those “playlist” songs.


• #05: 【GUMI】 ロゼッタ 【オリジナルPV】 (↓4)
  
  This Gumi tuning really jumps out at you, I like what monaca is doing alot.


• #04: 【オリジナル曲PV】マトリョシカ【初音ミク・GUMI】 (↓3)
  
  Still wierd, in that good way.

• THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: (WVR #101)
  
  This spot is for a look back at the VocaRan one year before. Here are the top five songs from that week.
  • H5: Ah, re-living the birth of a classic. Even better when you watch it in concert.
  • H4: <no comment>
  • H3: <no comment>
  • H2: Is this the only song by mikumix? I found this when I discovered his site last week, I like it alot, nice PV too.
  • H1: Would be easier to reminisce about this classic if it ever went away, but thankfully epic wowaka lives on.
• #03: 初音ミクアレンジ「般若心経ロック」 (↑21)
  
  


• #02: 初音ミクオリジナル曲 「Calc.」 (!!)
  
  OneRoom’s Miku-tuning always makes me soft, and I really like this.


• #01: 【初音ミク】般若心経ポップ【PVつき】 (↑2)
  
  The ONLY one I will put on my Itunes for posterity, all the rest can just leave kthx. Do not want!!!

• ED Song: 【初音ミク】太陽の言い訳【オリジナル】

  Perfect, calm ED, over 9000x better than #1, I will fall asleep to this tonight just cause.

Final Thoughts/Analysis:

Hope everyone sorta enjoyed the VocaRan this week. Enjoy it for me cause I really didn’t. 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 at least tell me there will be light and the end of the tunnel. I’ll let the others comment on the Sutra meme stuff cause I don’t get and don’t want to get it lol. You can see how disheartened I became as I continued to watch the program in horror. Have a great night and fabulous day tomorrow. I’m very glad to be back and will be around more!
