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.
Hey, for the record it’s only been three weeks. And I’ve been here observing, however I haven’t commented or put a final thought in for various reasons that are my own. I apologize to the community who was expecting more from me, and I hope to live up to it a bit more.
NAHO’s OPENING STATEMENT:
It’s time for this week’s VocaRan. The Sapporo Snow Festival is still going on, but… for the present, a big thanks to everyone who participated in WonFes and the Voc@loid M@ster events!
Both events had a lot of people. Somehow I had a cosplay of me… it’s kind of nice. Having said that, the songs that had attention drawn to them because of Vom@s are here, and lots of new songs came up too!
I wonder how things will turn out in the rankings for this eventful week…?

IN OTHER VOCALOID NEWS:

Oh, and Valentine’s Day is next week. This is srs bsns, so don’t forget. 😐
FINAL THOUGHTS/ANALYSIS:
Hoo boy, when we need red2 the most…
Seriously, I get that the video was deleted and re-uploaded. I understand that. But why, if they’re going to count it in the ranking, are they playing the song but not allowing the video?? It doesn’t make any sense.
Aside from that, a depressingly low-scoring week. At least we saw two Yuki songs break into the countdown, both of which definitely deserve it (un chocolat, due chocolat). Now that they’ve all had songs on the countdown, maybe we’ll see more of the AHSloids in the coming weeks? As a huge fan of Kyotel and Miki (and a pretty good fan of Yuki-chan), I think that would be nice. =)
One last note. This week was, aside from being low-scoring, also very… strange. Look at the songs listed. This was the week in history when Luka had songs all over the ranking, as evidenced by the “history”. Last week we had a nice selection of Luka songs for her birthday, but not spectacular. This week, most of those songs are gone– I think the only one left is otetsu-san’s. Maybe it’s just me being naive, but it does strike me as strange. Looking at the rest of the songs in the ranking after the top thirty reinforced my thoughts that the scoring and song selection overall has been kind of erratic lately… I think the new totaling system changed things up even more than we thought. It’s something to keep an eye on, at least.
I’m in total agreement with Dez. Where did Pane Dihira go? 48th place! Rondo of Worlds pitfalled off the countdown completely. However, there has been a recent trend that I am liking and hating at the same time. There’s usually one song that climbs from last week into the ranking for the next week. I love it because it gives a second chance that didn’t exist in the first system, but it makes me go back and find their previous week calculations T_T.
So because of that, I think from now on I’ll pick a Rising Starlet of the Week! This week, I choose OneRoom’s Pierrot. OneRoom has been in the countdown many times before with his unique style and lack of PV illustrations. This one is no different, and missed out this week by 50,000 Points, chump change for a top 10 riser. I would have chosen Child’s Room, but it already got its lift from 8 to 5.
As for next week, don’t expect WEU to come back. I dunno what Hachi was thinking, but he made a gaff and a half taking down that PV. Dye has to be the most epic thing I’ve seen in a long time, and I would love to see it keep or make gains. Considering how “low scoring” it was this week, its a possibility, however we’ve got a mess of Valentine songs ready to eclipse it. Let’s see how that turns out.
