This was a great accomplishment, topping both the OP and ED in the same work.

This song is by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk], a project of Hiroyuki Sawano, who has composed theme songs and accompaniment for many anime, and each time he releases a new work with various vocalists. This time, the vocalists are Junki Kono and Tadashi Yonashiro of the popular idol group JO1, and the song is an electro tune full of euphoria. It is a collaboration between Japan's top creators and the most promising artists of the moment, and is a must-listen song!

Second place went to "Awesome!" by the idol group Maneki Kecha from "RPG Real Estate. The lyrics and music were written by Kotaro Shimoda of the music production group Elements Garden.

This season, the top two ED themes were performed by male and female idol groups.

Following the top two was "PARTs " by Natumi. from "Boundary Sengi Part 2" in third place.

The lyrics and music were also written by Hiroyuki Sawano. It is a medium tune that evokes a grand worldview, and combined with Natsumi's high level of singing ability, it is a song that is very worth listening to.
We are reminded once again of the greatness of the creator Hiroyuki Sawano, who can deliver two popular songs within one cool season.

Looking at the 4th place and below The song "Yodaka" (BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls' Story-) by the music project "Tsuki Eimei" by Vocaloid P artist Yurii Kanon came in at No. 4.

Also ranked at No. 8, "Mood up, up, up" (Palipi Komei) is originally a cover of a mihimaru GT song, but is sung by popular singer 96 Neko (Ryutaro Okiayu, who plays the role of Komei, also sings on the chorus). In recent years, artists originating from the Internet have made remarkable strides, and this momentum seems to be alive and well this season as well.

In this context, we should also pay attention to the activities of voice-over artists.

No. 5 Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Club is an anime "Love Live!Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Club" and is a voice-acting unit that actually performs live. The song "Yume ga Bokura no Taiyo sa" (Dream is Our Sunshine), which is the ED of the second season, is a song by the 12-member group, and its more diverse vocals are a must-listen.

In seventh place, Maaya Sakamoto's "Words Can't Do It" is the ED of "Honyaku no Gekkoukoujou: To be a Librarian, You Can't Choose Your Means (3rd season)," a gentle ballad that makes the most of Sakamoto's soft voice and is a perfect song to close each story.

Finally, let us introduce Gen Hoshino's "Kigeki" (SPY x FAMILY ), which came in at No. 6.

Kigeki" is a medium tune with an R&B taste. The ED theme is also quite stylish, as "SPY x FAMILY" is known for its fashionable visuals and sound. At the same time, it also contains a heartwarming message, and it seems that the style of the anime and Ms. Hoshino's personality have created a synergistic effect.
