Slow Start" and "Yuru Can△" clashed in the OP theme popularity poll, but "Slow Start" was the eye of the typhoon in the ED theme popularity poll as well. However, "Slow Start" was the center of the storm in the ED theme popularity vote as well.

Until the middle of the voting, "Kaze no Koe o Kizukinakara" (Slow Start) by Sangatsu no Pantasia was in first place, followed by "Harvest Moon Night" (Hakumei and Mikochi) by Mikochi (CV: Shimoji Shino) and Konju (CV: Yuuki Aoi), but the situation was reversed at the end of the voting. Kaze no Koe wo Kikinaru" (Listen to the Wind) was in the lead.
From there, the two songs were in a dead heat. In the end, "Kaze no Koe o Kizukinakara" took first place, winning both the OP and ED. As the title suggests, the slow start to the fierce battle for the top spot made the audience's hands sweaty.

Third place went to Mari Tamaki (CV: Inori Mizuse), Hose Kobuchizawa (CV: Kana Hanazawa), Hyuga Miyake (CV: Yuka Iguchi), and Yuzuki Shiraishi (CV: Saori Hayami) for "From Here, From Here" (A Place Farther Than Space). While "A Place Farther Away than the Universe" is slowly gaining recognition, the ED theme sung by the heroines also steadily gained votes and was one of the top three.

Fourth place went to Eri Sasaki's "Fuyuubiyori" (Yuru Can △). YuruCan△" is a hot topic this season, and its ED theme also ranked high. The song attracted many tables because it is a song that heals viewers with its song and images that make them feel the afterglow of camping every time. Please also check out the interview with the singer, Eri Sasaki.

Fifth place went to "Sukino Skill" (Death March Kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku) by Wake Up, Girls! This time, WUG sang as the tie-up artist. The song has a warm, world-music style that has not been seen before, and it is a song that breaks new ground for the girls.

The top six were XX:me (Kiss Me) "Torikago" (Darling in the Frankis), Colors☆Slash "Miracle Colors☆No Abnormality Today! (Mitsuboshi Colors), Ms. Takagi (CV. Riyo Takahashi) "Kimagure Romantic" (Mr. Takagi the teasing Ute no Takagi), and other songs sung by the cast.
Among the songs, the odd one out was "Kimagure Romantic" by "Mr. Takagi the teasing upper hand". The original song is a hit by Ikimono-gakari, but the cover has a strange taste, as if the heroine, Ms. Takagi, were singing it at a karaoke session. Please check out the interview with Riyo Takahashi, who sings this song as well.

The voting this time has been even more exciting than the OP theme, but there are also many noteworthy songs in the lineup below the 11th place. Be sure to check them out as well!
