Weekly VocaRan #158 – Now I Gotta Wonder…

Vocaloid NND Weekly Ranking
Weekly Vocaloid Ranking “Unselected”

Is SP5 really just around the corner? I’ve been anticipating it since… oh, I dunno… half a year ago? And it still hasn’t arrived yet! Well, it ain’t here yet, maybe I can get some suggestions for you guys on how we’ll go about the format of the SP5 article… Y’know, translations of the special features and stuff. While we brainstorm, let’s enjoy this week’s ranking.

Naho’s Opening Statement:

The time has come for this week’s VocaRan. Did everyone enjoy their extended break? With work, play, and the last of the events, it all adds up to it being really busy… seems that’s the feeling everyone has.

Also, this is the third year anniversary of the VocaRan. We really wanted to have a big celebration, but the uploader is really busy with editing SP5. Busy ’til the very end…

ZZZ…

  • H5: Should’ve been an iconic guitar riff
  • H4: <no comment>
  • H3: Have you ever watched Bakemonogatari? If so, please explain if it’s something other than the director being free reign to be as auteur as possible. Who was singing that?

• ED Song: 鏡音レン　「春待ち蝶」　オリジナル曲
  Probably the most mallet percussion Vocaloidom has ever seen.

In Other Vocaloid News:

Today’s VocaRan title (thumbnail) comes from the Gachapoid character illustration that was suddenly released.

If you look, you’ll see it is definitely an adorable boy; sure enough, seems like Len-kyun could have a rival now…

With that, here’s the rest for this week, starting with number 31.

Final Thoughts/Analysis:

Congratulations Scop on your first number one song! It’s a toss-up as to which song I like best, but you and buzzG definitely deserve to be in the top this week. Also, who’s looking forward to SP5? I know I am!!

…And so with that, we end this week’s Vocaloid Ranking review. Please join us again next week, when SP5 may finally be up. Finally.
