Omoide Kakera … Okay, I want the names of the smartalecs who thought it would be funny to mess with the rankings. I started watching this week’s ranking, and CMB greeted me at #30. I thought: “Aw man, it’s almost gone!” But then I noticed that it actually gained points over last week. So then [...]
Megpoid Gumi- Circus (Birthday Tribute) One year ago, this very day, GUMI was released to the world. In the days leading up to her release, I didn’t have very high expectations for her. Then she was released, and a number of excellent songs soon followed. And then we come to today, one year later, and [...]
Kago no Tori I was disappointed to see that there were no new GUMI songs this week. But that’s understandable, as the rankings are tallied earlier in the week. So any birthday songs will be in next week’s ranking. And I’m sure there will be lots of them… …Right?
Hayabusa the Falcon -Welcome Back Version- For those who don’t know, Hayabusa was a spacecraft launched in 2003 by the JAXA. (Hayabusa means Peregrine Falcon.) Its mission was to travel to the nearby asteroid Itokawa, and bring back some samples of material. This would be the first time that we got our hands on some [...]
Light and Key Pretty good week this week. There were a lot of new songs that I liked. WEDH dropped to #2. It was replaced by a new CosMo song. But as opposed to the last one, this one is actually pretty interesting. So that’s ok.
Heart Disk Drive The story of my life. T_T World’s End Dancehall continues to dominate the Internets. It was #1 again this week. I call hax.
Genesis A Miku/Luka duet done right. Very nice. In related news, the Vocalogenesis album, which this song appeared on, made it to the top of the weekly Oricon music charts. That’s quite an achievement, and I hope more Vocaloid albums follow suit. In other news, ranks 30-11 were virtually devoid of new songs. On the [...]
Flightless Bird Kind of an “eh” week, actually. Well, in regard to new songs anyway. There were a few old songs that I like on there, (CMB went up to #5!) but they are ineligible for my column.
Dendrobium Phalaenopsis Miku sounds lovely here. The Appends were put to good use. In unrelated news, I have another complete semester of college under my belt. Summer is here, and that means that a certain other weekly column of mine will start appearing again…
Hatsune Miku – ARiA (by Toku) When the Xeiron OS booted up, I was really hoping that the song to come would be as good as the futuristic computer interface made it seem. I am glad to say that it was. The PV only serves to increase the awesome to epic levels. There were quite [...]
