Its. Fricking. HOT. I can’t stand this extremely hot weather it makes its too difficult to do anything. I know I’d die without air conditioning. Oh, and the UTARan.


NAMI‘s OPENING STATEMENT:
Sorry for the wait. It’s time for the Weekly UTAU Ranking!

It’s July, now it’s really Summer. Watch out for the Summer heat fatigue!

On another subject, it seems a lot of the PC magazines that got out at the end of last month as well as other ones that will be released in mid-July deal with UTAU. Thanks to the release of the Mac version of UTAU, a lot of Mac-related magazines talk about it. Until now, there were few vocal synthesis softwares available for Mac and users seldom had the chance to play around with such technologies, so it seems it has become a very popular topic. Check some of those magazines if you’re interested!

Well then, let’s see the ranking!

NAMI‘s ENDING NOTES:
The number 1 was a Yukkuri cover of “Ginga Tetsudou 999” by Yosshiii. Congratulations!

It seems it’s the first UTAU work by Yosshiii, who’s known for his yukkuri jikkyou videos (TL: jikkyou play, literally “ play in real conditions”, is a type of videos popular on NND where the uploaders record their screens as they play games and comment on it, at times from the protagonist’s perspective, voicing the characters, etc.) Let’s keep an eye on his next moves!

To conclude this ranking, let’s see number 21 to 100, as well as the extra ranking number 6 to 25. See you next week!

For the weeks that we do not have a Reader’s Pick I will post a video from the UTARan SP 2011 list. This week is number 108, もはやHANASUをやってみようとした形跡すら残ってない uploaded by Ameya, showcasing upcoming updates to the UTAU software.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
*fans herself off* Not even the night can save me from this heat and humidity. Oi!

Okay, enough about how much I hate this weather. Ths week I was completely surprised by the lack of new voicebanks; not a one made it on the countdown. o.o Just seems a little odd to me. Besides that we had some great songs hold onto some sort of spot and lots of new ones (I think you kind of have to ignore this week’s number one, but hey, you know what they say – “Yukkuri shiteitte ne!”
