Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #122 “Unselected”: LINK HERE
Yep, no witty subtitle for this week. Ah, the wonders of being jaded in the office does to a young post-grad. Not to worry though, as this is just a phase I’m going through right now. We’ll get back to the wackiness of random subtitling once I get all my stuff sorted out. Besides, the episode number is already quirky enough without me adding an extra “A-B-C” and insulting our dearly departed “King of Pop.”
Also, we’ve been missing red2’s statistical analysis for a while now. While he has informed me that he’s also busy with life, this was a couple of months ago and now he’s completely MIA from the V-ism blog staff. Hopefully he gets his stuff worked out, too… so for now let’s just enjoy the rankings sans statistics and predictions.
It’s been 4 weeks since the Weekly Vocaloid Ranking entered its 2010 Season and implemented new changes, namely the MyList Modifer. As you can see, results were mixed. Four out of five like that there was change, but half didn’t like this specific change.
Our Vocaloidism number monkeys have now had time to figure out what’s what and to see how Modifier B has shaped the VocaRan landscape. Prepare to be dazzled with math!
As a veteran of anime fandom, conventions are nothing new to me. However, conventions that coincide with important dates are. This year’s Ohayocon fell on Megurine Luka’s birthday, so as a Vocaloidism editor with a camera, I just had to volunteer myself for duty.
After the break is Day 1 in pics. Two notes, though. First, I am not an expert photographer. My weapon of choice is a Polaroid i634 from 2007 I got for $72. If my pics look bad, that’s why. Also, if you want me to take down a photo of you, contact me in private, whether through e-mail, or PM through Vocaforum, Vocaloid Otaku or Ohayocon’s boards.
Earlier on Engloids’ Blog was able to carry out an interview with a staff from Zero-G as they talk about the development of Sonika, what plans they have for their older Vocaloids and a bit about Tonio as well. Read up on the interview right after the jump! Continue reading Interview With Zero-G’s Dom Keefe (Vocaloid Production)

Well, here we are at week two of ‘project get more people to care about UTAU through blog posts’– er, I mean, the Weekly UTAU Ranking. First, one note: since the UtaRan and the VocaRan are normally uploaded at around the same time, to avoid messy overlap, UtaRan posts will always be made on sometime on Tuesday (EST). Today it was later than it should have been, but we’re still working out the kinks and trying to find our groove.
The title is a pun in two ways: we’re still working on getting our “article-posting” in shape, and the latest prank UTAUloid, Namine Ritsu, got an append! Ritsu’s “strong” voice is proving to be pretty popular so far. Wonder how the new version of Ritsu will do in the rankings? Read on to find out!

Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #121 “Unselected”: LINK HERE
First off, let me apologize for the lateness of this week’s ranking review. I’ve been experiencing some 502 Bad Gateway errors for the past week that prevented me from logging in up until yesterday evening (though I still don’t know if I can log in from my home computer, since I’m doing this article now on my office PC, at the risk of getting caught by my supervisors).
Anyway, I really haven’t been watching/listening much of Vocaloid as of late. In fact, I haven’t been able to watch last week’s WVR. Yeah, that’s how busy I’ve been. So hopefully I can rely on the rest of the V-ism staff to do finish up the rest of the article (like adding the opening image, since I can’t go to potentially NSFW ’sites in my office).
BTW, just in case you’re wondering where I got the subtitle for this week’s review, it’s originally “I’m with CoCo.”
Earlier this week Mikatan updated her blog with preview images of the upcoming soft vinyl figure of “Toeto” by Good Smile Company which is scheduled to be released in April 2010. This figure comes from the popular Luka song “Toeto” by ToraborutaP which has got close to 600K views on Nico Nico Douga and you can watch the video together with more information on the figure after the break~ Continue reading Reservations For Toeto Figure Now Up!
We’re gonna have a good time this week. Well I will, at least, because by the time you read this, I’ll be well-entrenched in Ohio otaku craziness. So in honor of Megurine Luka’s retcon, we’ll look back on her first year of Age 20 by counting down her top hits like you (probably) have never seen before!

Hello everyone! deztora reporting in on the UTAU front for what will hopefully become another regular spot on Vocaloidism: reviewing the Weekly UTAU Ranking. Here we will review the ranking every week, following which songs go up and which ones go down, and keep up with the latest UTAU news during the “This week’s UTAU topic” section.
It is also my pleasure to introduce a fellow UTAU fan who will be working with me in this endeavor: chibikarla! *cue applause*
*curtsies* Thank you! Thank you! >w<
Hey everybody! Nice to see you and nice to be on this blog! I swear, it happened really quickly, but I wanted to be a part-time UTAU blogger by starting to rank the UTAU rankings! I’ve really been a fan of them ever since I got into Vocaloid (the December of the year before last year). I think UTAU has potential to be just as good as Vocaloid, yet still be part of this big, happy community. From all the voicebanks, character designs and personalities, UTAU lured me in rapidly. I’m very happy to be a fan of Vocaloid, UTAU and other voice synthesizers out there. I’m proud to be a part of Vocaloidism and I will try my best to keep up the good work. I might not be an experienced blogger or writer, but I sure am a hardcore UTAU fan. I just love these characters. I would also like to thank deztora, for helping me start up this collaboration, since I was really lost without knowing much of Japanese, HTML codes and much more. I’d also like to thank the staff here for helping me as well, and all my online friends here that I like to talk to about Vocaloid and skip across the meadows with, fangirling all the time. X3
Well, that’s all for the moment. Thank you very much for reading.
Although slightly different, the UTAU ranking works pretty much just like the Vocaloid ranking. With that having been said, let’s begin, shall we?
