Shamelessly ripping off Megatokyo aside, it looks as though some of the V-blog editorial staff are indisposed at the moment: deztora is getting busy with real life that she can’t deal with the UtaRan for a while.

Anyways, on to the Vocaloid-related stuff… This week, looks like a certain Vocaloid will become relevant again.

Naho’s Opening Statement:

It’s time for this week’s Vocaran. Last week, because of my master’s illness, there were many bad transitions, making it hard to watch. I sincerely apologize to you for the mistakes. My master seems to be better now, so we will continue Vocaran as usual. Thank you for your understanding.

As it’s already April, it is so weird that it gets colder and even snow lays in some areas. Hey, the long holiday is coming, everyone! Pull yourself together! Ok, let’s get started from 30th!

(from rebecca: You may or may not have noticed, but there was a tag saying “The uploader got ill” on the last week’s Vocaran because of the bad transitions he made on the video especially for Top 3. It is said he was sick, but yea, who knows?^^ The long holiday she’s talking about here is a Japanese public holiday called “Golden week” from April 29th through May 5th. It’s one of the longest holiday in Japan)

  • THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: (WVR #80 LINK HERE)
    This spot is for a look back at the VocaRan one year before. Here are the top five songs from that week.

    • H5: Having a slight feeling that this song will turn up in -Project DIVA- 2nd… I am *hoping* so, it would be a pity if it doesn’t.
    • H4: <no comment>
    • H3: <no comment>
    • H2: Can’t wait to play this in PD2.
    • H1: And here we have Romeo and Cinderella’s debut.
  • #3: 【カバー】GUMI で「さよならメモリーズ」【supercell】 (!!)
    Finally!!! GUMI is back on the map! Though she had to cover a preexisting song for this one, the next one is original and a whole lot better. This one’s not bad at all even though it’s a cover, I quite like GUMI’s voice for this song. Sayonara Memories is one of my favorites of supercell. The cover is very good~
  • #2: 【GUMI】 弱虫モンブラン【オリジナル曲PV付】 (!!)
    GUMI… being yandere for sweets… sound like a plan to me! It’s not hard to judge how many people actually enjoyed it looking at the over 10+ re-uploads on YT just for this song. It had a great run. I’ll be sad to see it fall next week.
  • #1: 初音ミクオリ ジナル曲 「初音ミクの暴走（LONG VERSION）」 (!!)
    Argh!!! This classic song actually got a long version!? Who knows maybe this song will stay for quite some time to come… *Holds in rant until the final thoughts section.*

In Other Vocaloid News:

Here is a CD info as many expect. DECO*27, well known with “Haruichi” in this week’s History and “Nisoku Hokou”, will release his debut album “Souaiseiriron” on 21th April from Third-Ear.

As the release day of Miku Append is coming closer, it’s getting busy around here. Will the end of April be a festival like we had on last Luka’s birthday…?

Thank you for watching till the end. See you next week.

Final Thoughts/Analysis:

All righty. Let’s get this thing started, since I had 504 errors when trying to get in yesterday. Didn’t we fix that problem with the server move? Meh, whatever. I won’t say that today was a slow day, considering the amount of views for the top five. It was more poorly distributed throughout the countdown. How else could a 44k score get JBF #13, when the last time 47k got it 18th place. Expect a lot of rearranging to happen next week, as I predict there will be a lot more people going back to their regulars.

And now for my rant on the top three. First off, I’m glad that Supercell himself actually posted this cover instead of one of his cohorts. Anyone remember what happened with the Bakemonogatari cover? Yeah. Glad that wasn’t a repeat. I’m also hoping that DECO*GUMI / GUMI*27 is going to be a match that we will see a lot in the coming months. As for CosMo… okay, seriously, he’s just getting #1 from his name only at this point. Recently all he’s been doing are sequels and long versions that include nods to his previous works, and beating horses that were dead years ago. I did not enjoy this song whatsoever. My wife enjoyed Miku’s pink maid outfit, but other than that it was just a waste of time and my eardrums. If you noticed, it was the least favorited in ratio of the top three this week, not even reaching the former 20x barrier, while both the other tunes held a highly respectable near 30x. What happened this week was a brand name contest.

Hopefully I’ll see you all this weekend for the Weekend Spotlight, lest JM want to take it back, of course. Take it away, Holo!

…And so with that, we end this week’s Vocaloid Ranking review. Please join us again next week, and- *dies from heat stroke*
