Windows 7 Nanami Commercial

Japan: where everything has a mascot character. XD

I bought Win7 back in November, and I’ve been using the Nanami theme since day 1. I like hearing her cheery voice instead of the boring default Windows sounds. :D

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 a few new Kaito songs this week. Coward Mont Blanc is still going strong as well, coming in a respectable 8th place in its third week. (Conversely, the song that stopped it from being #1 on debut, is now down at #60. You see folks, this is how you measure popularity. CosMoP: I lol in your general direction.)

All Online Data Lost After Internet Crash

I remember the day this happened. When I first saw the error message, I thought it was a problem on my end. However, upon further investigation, I learned the horrible truth.

I still hate Tipton.

Chains and Candy

As a perfect counterbalance to last week, only 7 songs featured in #133 are in the top 30 this week. The other 23 have never been seen before. Holy cow.

TF2 – Lucky Airblast

I love the airblast.

I REALLY love the airblast.

Coward Mont Blanc

This is the best song I’ve heard from GUMI in a very, very long time. …Actually, It’s the ONLY song I’ve heard from her in a very, very long time. She hasn’t been in the rankings for quite a while, so having this great song suddenly appear made my day. And for some icing, the PV is really good as well.

Time will tell, but this song may actually end up taking the crown of being my favorite GUMI song from Megu Megu ☆ Fire Endless Night. Maybe. I dunno.

In other news: in addition to GUMI, Kaai Yuki got in this week’s ranking too. That was a surprise. Paradichlorobenzene jumped up to 15th place. I was surprised at that too. Also… ARGH MAGNET. I thought you were gone for good… But you just had to come back and taunt me, eh?

…Actually, there were a whole bunch of dead songs coming back this week. I think that’s due to this being a particularly low-scoring week. They didn’t actually gain many points over last week, (some lost points,) but they still jumped into the top 30.

SIMCITY 3000 – MAGNASANTI – 6 MILLION – ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen since… Ever.

…

I’m not sure if I should be amazed… or completely terrified.

Sakura no Zenya

The beginning is too plinky, but it gets a lot better after that.

And it’s as if someone was actually reading me last week and listened. (Not that they were actually. Nobody ever reads me. :( ) Anyway, Magnet dropped out this week. I cheered. Now just get JBF out of there, and I’ll be even more happy. And as a bonus, Paradiclorobenzene made a comeback. Double Lariat on the other hand, dropped down into the 40s.

Cirno & Beer

Folk music? Win.

Guitars? Win.

Drunken antics by the Touhou crowd? WIN.

Mugs

This has a very different sound to it. I don’t quite know how to describe it, other than it’s different from the songs I’m used to.

This week was also notable in the fact that Double Lariat, a staple of the WVR for over a year, was pushed out of the top 30. But the thing is, I liked hearing Double Lariat every week. (Paradichlorobenzene as well, which is also gone.) As opposed to Magnet or JBF, which I would be really glad to have drop out of the ranking…
