BEST OF 2010 -or- TIME TO CONTRIBUTE, GUYS
We're running a trifle delayed - going home from holiday has presented new and interesting concepts like 'jetlag' and 'oh god oh why am I so ill jesus christ'. Post will be up later this week to get all caught up - in the meantime, it's audience participation time

【鏡音リン】 trick art ! 【オリジナル曲】
trick art! (DATEKEN, Rin, Jazz Pop)
I don't know if this was just me not seeing anything about it, but this track didn't seem to get nearly as much love as it should have in the days after it left the ranking. A perfect Rin takes on gentle, soothing jazz, and the result is so astoundingly good it'll make your toes curl, full of woodwinds and brass and music so smooth you'd swear it was photoshopped. DATEKEN's done plenty of work since, focusing on the twins, but nothing will top this for me without some serious, serious effort to displace it.
【KAITO】「つけるよ。」【オリジナル曲】
Wear it. (suketch, Kaito, Pop)
When I first looked at the thumbnail for this track, I very nearly skipped straight over it, expecting a NSFW gag track similar to Kurumi Ponchio. To this day, I'm glad I didn't; what could have been an unpleasant and head-shaking, sighing experience actually turns out to be a gentle, soulful track with some excellent Kaito and a delightful feel to it. Whatever you think about the subject of the song, it still makes me smile to this day.
【初音ミク】次世代センセーションのはじまり【オリジナル】
The Beginning of Next Generation's Sensation (daniwell, Miku, Pop)
Suck it, haters! Either that, or just be glad I didn't link Nyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanya! instead. Daniwell has wormed his way into my heart - and my attention span, as well - with a succession of anthems designed purely to make your brain liquify and dribble out of your ears in slow motion while you sit there making 'buh buh buh' noises. Born with the gift to make anything catchy, I could literally sit and listen to his tracks all day; they're not top dollar offerings, but I still keep an eye out for anything he does.

Self-Made Niconico Douga OP Theme (mosomoso, Miku + Luka + Len + Rin, Acoustic Pop)
I have never once taken this off my MP3 player, nor ever skipped past it once it started up. Something about this almost-purely vocal track makes me positively giddy with delight. Is it the sheer number of little touches and duets, the kibitzing between the twins in the background during Miku's singing sections, Luka's terrible engrish in the chorus? Possibly it is all of the above, and I will never get tired of it.
【鏡音リン・レン】おんがくします【オリジナル】
Making Music (oichan, Len + Rin, Acoustic Pop)
Nothing more than a throwaway track, and yet this grabbed me for the better part of an entire week, as I'd load it up just to bop along to it on off moments. There's something terribly heartwarming about the whole thing; from the twins fooling around to the cheery combination of guitars and maracas, it's a very pleasant and unassuming song that never failed to make me smile.
