No. 1 was "Waga, Roses ni Nyushisu," the OP theme of "The Funeral Arrangement of the King of Roses" sung by Shin Furukawa.

The lyrics, set to a dramatic sound, were spun by Arica Takarano of ALI PROJECT. The decadent worldview unique to her is irresistible, and according to an interview, Ms. Furukawa challenged herself to sing this song with a neutral nuance.
The song, which brought out new charms in Ms. Furukawa, seems to have won the hearts of many anime fans, and it was awarded first place.
The second season of "The Funeral Row of the Rose King" is currently airing. Keep your eyes on the main anime.
⇒[ Autograph card present! The first attempt at "neutral singing! In commemoration of the release of "Rabao no Sourei" OP "Waga, Rabani ni Nishisu", which freely goes back and forth between the world of the anime and his expression as an artist, we will be holding an interview with Shin Furukawa!

In second place was the special unit Poka Poka Aeon "Yajirushi," featuring Nao Higashiyama and Kiyono Anno, both of whom have soothing voices.
The song is the theme song for "Slow Loop," another Kirara-style anime with a warm and healing aura, so it is a perfect match for the work. The music video, which is full of negative ions, is also noteworthy.
⇒ Poka Poka Aeon, a unit consisting of Nao Higashiyama and Kiyono Yasuno, released their 1st single "Yajirushi" 5 years after their formation, and it is a single that will heal you just by listening to it!

Third place went to "Sono Kitsuke Ningyo ha Koi ni Suru" (That Dressing Doll Will Fall in Love), which was the biggest killer title of the winter anime for the author personally. Its theme song , "Sanzan Days," ranked in at No. 3. Spira Spica's exhilarating sound and singing voice added sparkle to this high-tension romantic comedy.
⇒[ Interview] Spira Spica released their long-awaited 2nd album "Nagareboshi Train. The members talk about the past two years and their thoughts for the future.

The top three songs in the list are all convincing, but there are also some anime songs below No. 4 that you should keep an eye on.

No. 4, "Kaze no oto no oto no meinai" (Sakigui Bisco), is probably one of JUNNNA 's hardest songs ever, composed and arranged by R.O.N. of STEREO DIVE FOUDATION, and looks like it would be very good live. This is a song that I would love to hear live.

No. 5 was "Hajimari no Setsuna" sung by the 16 students (voice actors who portray the 16 students) of the first-year junior high school class 3 of Ligustrum Gakuen who appear in "Asa-chan no Sailor Fuku" (Tomorrow's Sailor Suit). The song is a transparent, gentle, yet POP song, sung in a straightforward manner, and in a sense, the song gives a sense of unity and emotion like a junior high school chorus song.

No. 6, "Shiranidatta" is the opening song of "Hakozume: Koban Joshi no Gyakushuu," sung by Nariko Azuki, with an impressive electro and danceable sound. The song is very pleasant in the way it uses kime and effects, and the lyrics are perfectly packaged with the image of the work, so please take the time to read and listen to the lyrics as well.

Seventh place went to "Demon Slayer" OP theme "Zankyo Sanka" sung by Aimer.
The song was released under a great deal of pressure, as LiSA's "Kourenka" left such a strong impression on the audience, but it is a powerful song that seems to meet the expectations of those around it.

SiM's"The Rumbling" (from Shinkoku no Kyojin The Final Season Part 2), which received high acclaim worldwide, came in at No. 8, and "LEVEL" (from The Deficit State of a Genius Prince), in which the emo rock sound of THE SIXTH LIE created a chemical reaction with Yanagi's melancholy voice, came in at No. 9. ( Prince Genius's Deficit State Revitalization Technique) came in at No. 9.
The song "Leap of faith" (Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Sage) by fripSide, the graduation work of the second vocalist Aino Nanjo, is ranked in 10th place.

Also ranked in the top 10 are "Leap of faith" by fripSide, the graduation song of Aino Nanjo, and "Shikkaku-mon no Saikyo Sage. Please check them out and find your favorite ani-song.
