Best of WVR #119

Daughter of White In stark contrast to last week’s less than mind-blowing performance, this week I thought I would have a lot of trouble deciding what song to pick. I had downloaded quite a few great songs already, when I finally came to this week’s top song. Instantly, I knew I had a winner. This […]

Best of WVR #118

Whammy Anarchy This week wasn’t a very strong one. I only liked two new songs in this week’s ranking. I either didn’t like the other ones, or they had been featured in previous weeks. Oh well. Incidentally, Unfragment (#5 last week) was the top song this week.

The WVR

Since the New Years 2010 Vocaloid Review Bonanza is over, I decided to start a new column today to replace it. Every Friday, I’m going to post my favorite new song from that week’s Weekly Vocaloid Ranking. The WVR is a list of the week’s most popular Vocaloid songs on Nico Nico. (This’ll also free […]

Vocaloid in Review – Day 11: Covers

Welcome to 2010! Hard to believe that the future has arrived, isn’t it? I finished off 2009 with a whole bunch of Vocaloid songs, and now I’m going to begin this year with a whole bunch of human covers of Vocaloid songs. Miku Miku ni Shiteageru (Ichigo) – Miku Miku was never one of my […]

Vocaloid in Review – Day 10: Kiyoteru

Well, this is it. There are less than 24 hours left in 2009. Hard to believe, innit? On this day, I’ll give you some Hiyama Kiyoteru tunes. Jewelfish – Interesting. True Education – I wouldn’t mind having him for a teacher. Brilliant Eve – Is that Kaito’s scarf? :O Haijitsu – *pushes glasses up nose […]

Vocaloid in Review – Day 9: Yuki

THE CUTENESS HAS REACHED CRITICAL LEVELS. Buaisoyoujo Youjo – See? Shooting Star – Catchy. Summer Experience – Ah, Summer… Purin no Uta – Yummy yummy food! Tsurararairai – Snowman.

Vocaloid in Review – Day 8: Miki

Miki, one of the three newcomers to the scene. I was set to not like her because her androidishness removed the “illusion” of humanity that the others have. (Plus I didn’t feel like going out and finding a whole bunch of the new Vocaloid’s songs to talk about.) But… Ryuu Ten ni Noboru – Despite […]

Vocaloid in Review – Day 7: GUMI

Today, I have some GUMI songs lined up for you. (And she doesn’t get all the attention she deserves, IMO. I’ll put an end to that.) Megu Megu ☆ Fire Endless Night – This is unquestionably my favorite GUMI song. FIRE!!! (Whoo!) Our 16bit Wars – Bask in its retro awesomeness. Love is a Battlefield […]

Vocaloid in Review – Day 6: Gakupo

It’s Eggplant Man! Gakupo, the first non-Crypton Japanese Vocaloid. The Light – I credit Allen Walker for translating this epic song, too. Monochrome Film – I rather like this song. Dancing Samurai – A classic silly Gakupo song. Hya! Paranoid Doll – The PV for this one is pretty good. Owata! – And this one […]

Vocaloid in Review – Day 5: Meiko

Meiko! Certainly the most violent Vocaloid I know. But as you will see, she isn’t always causing trouble with a beer bottle in hand. XD Poem Weaved in Ruins – This is the companion song to Flowers Falling in Ruins, which Kaito sang for us yesterday. And actually, I like Meiko’s song better. Thousand Autumns, […]
