Putting up an announcement here, for those who didn’t notice Deztora has officially left Vocaloidism earlier as mentioned in this forum post. It’s regrettable but we wish Deztora all the best nevertheless and we would like to say a word of thanks for your hard work and contributions along the way.

And at the same time we would like to appeal for translators to help out on the Vocaloidism blog, if you think you are confident with your Japanese to English translation (and vice versa) skills then please feel free to post in the comments or you can PM the blog members on the forums and we will get back to you shortly. Thanks.

Good evening, it’s time for this week’s VocaRan!

February 17th is the day Kaito was released! (according to Crypton; he was released on the 14th according to Yamaha) Happy birthday!

Also, the votes for the MMD Cup are closed; now we have to wait for the results! It’s so exciting! But before that, let’s check the VocaRan. This week too there will be probably be interesting new songs. We’ll start from number 31!

This weeks pick-up #80 (!!): 【初音ミク】 nag 【オリジナル曲】

  Call me an 80’s guy, but his stuff is always on the top of my list.

  Why? Dear god, why?!Hi, long time no see^^This is rebecca. I hope someone could get my color later. By the way, this song is about the famous Japanese product “Konnyaku zerii (Jelly)”. Many children and eldery are killed because the jelly is often too big and hard to be swallowed (but I love it!). Yea, so the song cynically criticizes the jelly:o

• THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: (WVR#124)
  This spot is for a look back at the VocaRan one year before. Here are the top five songs from that week.
  • #5: 【初音ミク】　パラダイムシフト　【オリジナル曲】 (Paradigm Shift)
    Wow this brings back alot of memories… which have been going lately. Back when nana’s PVs were simple but beautiful.
  • #4: 【初音ミク 巡音ルカ】合鍵ガンマンと合鍵忍者【オリジナル】
    <no comment>
  • #3: 巡音ルカオリジナル DYE
    <no comment>
  • #2: 裏表エラーズ feat.KAITO (Two Faced Error)
    The best parody of Ura-Omote that ever was. Out of Ice Cream.
  • #1: 【オリジナル曲PV】WORLD’S END UMBRELLA【初音ミク】
    <no comment>

• #3 (↑14): ＧＵＭＩオリジナルＰＶ曲「家出少年と迷子少女」 (A Runaway boy and a Lost Girl)
  Had a feeling this would jump. And GUMI’s so cute in it too.
• #2 (!!): 【初音ミク】僕はまだ本気出してないだけ【オリジナル曲】
  Not this guy again… Forgive me for not seeing the appeal, but I never liked his stuff.
• #1 (!!): ボーカロイドたちがオリジナル曲をセッションしたようです (Vocaloid Original Song Session)
  This is the reason why two of his other songs are up here. I like the little skits he does. They’re always so well thought out. A no-contest win for GYARI.
• ED Song: 【鏡音リン】思い出フォルダ -リン- 【オリジナル曲】 (Memories Folder -0.1%-)
  The choices they make for the ED are just perfect.

In Other Vocaloid News:

That was this week’s number 1!

She’s cute, moe, glamorous, just a wee bit provocative… and mischievous. With these looks, the Lat Miku conquered the world of MMD, and now she’s getting her fig! Available in pre-order, starting this week. If you’ve been following the MMD Cup, you’ve probably noticed that her model was used a lot. I’d like to become as glamorous as she is one day…

Well then, the rest of this ranking, from number 31.

Editor Picks of the week:

• 【初音ミク】FROZEN【オリジナル曲】

Nice vocarock song with all appends except Vivid.

• 【猫村いろは】世界は難しく出来てない【オリジナル】 (The World is not Difficult)

There hasn’t been an Iroha song up here in a while, so I got one for you.

• 【鏡音リン】オーバードーズ【オリジナル】 (Overdose)

Guitars by 164=greatness.

Final Thoughts/Analysis:

This week has been a good week, minus the mix up with the rankings. Also, I need someone to help me add comments and such to the vocaran, if you think you can give your own opinions of songs week by week, PM me (Pengy) on the forums with your timezone and your comments.  Funya~! Returning from the grave to answer Pengy’s call for comments is me, red2! Since Krystal and the others seem a bit awol with the Vocaran recently, I’ll fill in until they get back. Hope ya don’t mind, Pengy ^_^.

…And so with that, we end this week’s Vocaloid Ranking review. Please join us again next week, and I hope I can get next weeks out quicker D:.
