Take note that both of the extensions above work/work better with people who have NND accounts.
If you really want a NND account and you're the kind of 'must comment on a video' person, please switch to the English version of NND and comment there in English. English commenters on the Japanese side of NND aren't really appreciated by the Japanese public, plus commenting (in romaji like 'kakkoii' instead of 'かっこいい') defeats the purpose of NND having an English version. Trust me, you'll look really weeaboo-ish to the public if you do so. Only if you're confident in saying small things like かわいい, 最高!, リンちゃん / レンくんの声いいね, and also practicing your Japanese, then comment in Japanese by all means.
For the people who aren't interested in getting an account, you could use the youtube converter to convert the youtube videos into mp3s!
I personally use this to convert the youtube videos to mp3s because it's fast and the quality is good as well:
If any of the youtube links are broken a few minutes after I upload a journal, it'll be fixed within minutes, so refresh your page if you encounter that problem. If you ever find a broken link, let me know and I'll replace it as soon as possible!
HELLO EVERYONE, WELCOME, AND THANK YOU FOR READING MY WEEKLY POSTS ON THE NEWEST AND HOTTEST KAGAMINE SONGS AS WELL AS RANKINGS!!
In the rankings, I would predict which of the newest and popular songs would enter the next week's rankings, so if you see 'PREDICTED' in front, it means I've mentioned it in my last journal and it has entered the rankings.
HAVE FUN! ☆ヽ(･ω･ )ﾉ☆
Rank 5 - Sekishinsei: Kamatoto Araryouzi / suzumu feat. Rin and Len
PREDICTED. I've finally got my hands on Saine's chibis and they're so FREAKING cute-- here's her pixiv if you want them As for the song, I'm slowly getting used to it, so I guess that's a good thing. I do wish the background music wasn't that hardcore rock and hectic.
PREDICTED. This song was originally by Len in the album ALL VOCALOID ATTACK #1. Again, I find the song a bit boring. But a few positives is that the tuning and lyrics are nice for both Rin and Len's versions.
Rank 9 - Shiki Ori no Hane / yamashizuku feat. Rin and Len
Like I said, I'm dang surprised this is doing pretty well, but at the same time not really because it's yamashizuku and all songs by yamashizuku are amazing
Rank 12 - Anti the EuphoriaHOLIC /cosmoP feat. IA and Rin
PREDICTED. I still prefer Luka dueting with Rin, anyway. But IA doesn't really sound like IA and more of an opera singer, and Rin sounds AMAZINGLY realistic in certain parts. Great to see cosmo using Rin again.
Rank 16 - FLASH BACK / Umetora feat. Luka, Miku, Gumi, IA and Rin
PREDICTED. I still can't get over Rin's rapping, it's just pure gold. I thought it sounded a bit similar to Koshi Tan Tan, but it's by the same producer so it's kinda normal.
This section focuses on the songs by Luka, Meiko, Kaito and Gakupo songs that get into the rankings.
I'm expecting lots of Meiko songs in the next rankings since her V3 is finally available in stores.

[A VOCALOID MUSICAL] Music Wizard of OZ / OSTER PROJECT feat. Meiko, Kaito, Miku, Rin, Len, Luka and Gumi
OSTER PROJECT uploaded this yesterday, so it won't get into the rankings this week.
Oster finally uploaded her second musical! If you haven't seen the first one, just type in 'Alice in Musicland' into youtube and the video should be there. This time, like I mentioned a few months ago, is based off the Wizard of Oz, and it even features the muchikins! I found this video and music so beautiful and refreshing. Oster is really the best in writing different genres of music, and this video proves it so. Although it's pretty long, it's meant to be a musical, so kick back and get ready to watch a 20 minute long video.
MY FAVOURITE SCENE IS THE LIONS OK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY LATER AND NO I'M NOT BEING BIASED IT'S SO FRAKING CUTE WHATTHEHELL OSTER yesyes tofu mmmmmm
Kami no Manimani /rerulili feat. Miku, Rin and Gumi
HNNNNNNNNNNGHHHHHH RERULILI--- I found this song so cute, despite it being a bit repetitive. It's nice to see a Mr.Music kind of genre after a few of his 'girl' series. After I did some research into the Japanese myths for quite a while, this PV and song is based on the story of the sun goddess, Amaterasu, the sun goddess of Japan.
-------------------------
She was always fighting with her uncontrollable brother, Susanoo. Izanagi, was sick of Susanoo complaining to him all the time and his behaviour, banished him to Yomi. Susanoo then went to Takamagahara (heaven) to bid farewell to Amaterasu. She didn't believe him when he said he was there to say goodbye because woah i've been fighting with you all the time and you're suddenly like this whaddaheck i'm gonna be the best history teacher when i grow up
So in short, a challenge was set and both gods claimed to be victorious, but Amaterasu insisted she won so that caused Susanoo to rage and he caused a lot of ruckus.
'Amaterasu, angered by the display, hides in the cave called Iwayado. As the sun goddess disappears into the cave, darkness covers the world. All of the gods and goddesses strive to coax Amaterasu out of the cave, but she ignores them all. Finally, the kami (god) of merriment,Ame-no-Uzume, hatches a plan. She places a large bronze mirror on a tree, facing Amaterasu's cave. Then, Uzume clothes herself in flowers and leaves, overturns a washtub and begins to dance upon it, drumming the tub with her feet.'
'Finally, Uzume sheds the leaves and flowers and dances naked. All of the male gods roar with laughter, and Amaterasu becomes curious. When she peeks outside, a ray of light called "dawn" escapes and Amaterasu is dazzled by the beautiful goddess that she sees, this being her own reflection in the mirror. The god, Ameno-Tajikarawo, pulls her from the cave, which is sealed with ashimenawa. Surrounded by merriment, Amaterasu's depression disappears, and she agrees to return with her light. Uzume is then known as the kami of dawn as well as of mirth.' - wikipedia
/////stoned nani kore oh god I love the illustrations in this one. I thought the part where they suddenly sing high is a bit weird and doesn't suit the song much, but I do love the bg music and the mixing. I was surprised this was about 6 minutes long woah another L-tone Overall, enjoyed the song and I think it has a sense of nostalgia in it.
looks away i want a kagamine duet version Miku sounds okay but Len's words are leaning towards the shota-y side, which I'm not really a big fan of. As for the music, I thought it sounded pretty nice and upbeat. If Len's tuning was a bit stronger, the song would be nicer.
I had to dig the internet for Idola no Circus' romaji to figure out the right way to romanise 'Uōsaō' (右往左往) Worth it, anyway. I literally had to pause the video to regain my composure becaUSE THE VIDEO IS DRAWN BY AKIYOSHI AND YOSHIKI DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW HAPPY THAT MAKES ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA //stares at yuki this is her jam Akiyoshiki is the best things that happened in this world i s2g
Anyway, I liked the upbeat melody and Kaito's soft voice in this video. Len sounds decent as well but a little bit loud. Pretty PV, I have to say.
I expected a really badly tuned song but I guess this turned out a bit better than I thought. Ughhh the background music was really really nice and it would have been perfect if her tuning wasn't that soft and the words were too 'mushed up' together, so it was hard to pick up on the pronunciation.
That's all for this weeks' songs! Thank you so much for reading! Don't forget to comment on which song you thought was your favourite, and watch me for more updates on the latest Kagamine Twins songs, and I'll see you next week! I hope you had a FABULOUS WEEK!! WE ARE A KAGAMINATION!
You could donate to me on my front page to support me writing these journals every week! I don't gain any financial benefits from doing them. I do it because I want to spread my love for the Kagamine(s) and a few other Vocaloids, to update eager fans on the latest news and to also meet new people who share the same interests as me.
Lol, i actually found the lion part hilarious and also cute. How it started with a slow and sorrowful mood and ended up being lighthearted and fun. It was an amazing video overall, and it's amazing how OSTER made a song for all those genre and made it flow.
I don't like kami no manimani. It's the type of cute i really don't like.
Since i see from your twitter that you already know about the senbonzakura rin&len i guess i don't need to say more about it. Right now i'm debating whether to get the iku one as well or not.
Oh yeah, the other modules are up for project diva. and pretty sure Knife is going to get in as well.
