No. 1 RyuGenToshi "Shigure" ("Ship This" - Someday at the Sea) 1408 votes

The song "Shigure" from "'Kisenkore' Someday at That Sea" took the top spot by a landslide. The song was sung by Toshi Ryugen. Who is he? You may be wondering, "Who is he?" He is actually Toshi, the vocalist of X JAPAN! For those who do not know him, his name is "Ryugen Toshi" when he does variety and media mix activities, so his ranking may come as a surprise, but as one would expect from the world famous Toshi, he was a big hit with non-animation fans and took first place.

No. 2 Yuzoku Band "Seishun Complex" (Bocchi za Rokku!) 175 votes


In second place was "Seishun Complex" from "Bocchi za Rokku! which is arguably the most talked-about work of the season. Ikumi Hasegawa, who plays the guitarist and vocalist Ikuyo Kita, sang the song, which is by the band "Band of Unity" in the play. Her powerful singing voice is as powerful as the edgy rock sound. This is a song that I would like to see performed by a "live" unity band someday.

No. 3 Riie Takahashi "It doesn't matter if you don't sympathize with me" (I'm a villainess, so I tried to keep the last boss) 120 votes


Third place went to Riyo Takahashi for "No need to be sympathetic. This song, the OP theme of "I'm a Villainous Daughter, So I Tried to Keep a Last Boss," is a very impressive song with very technical vocals. From the A melody, in which the scale is close to Takahashi's natural voice, to the chorus, which swings up and down in a very large range, the low and high notes are mixed together at a dizzying pace. It is a powerful and pop song in any case.

No. 4 Sasaki Saka "Never the Fever! (Immoral Guild) 111 votes


Fourth place went to "Never the Fever! The song was sung by the talented group of anime singers, Saka. The song is sung by Sasaki Saka, who has emerged as a talented anime song singer. The song was composed and arranged by Hige Driver, and is a high-tension pop song! It is a great party tune with a hint of song-like melancholy. The dance moves are comical, and this is a song that I would love to dance to with everyone at a live concert.

As you can see, the top four in this year's poll are songs that are all about singing ability.
On the other hand, an unusual situation occurred when we looked at the top 5 songs on ......, where there were 5 songs in the top 5 with the same number of votes!

ALI released "NEVER SAY GOODBYE feat. Mummy-D" from "Golden Kamui (4th season)," the first anime song tie-in since resuming activities, and a collaboration with Lime Star Mummy-D. The sound, which combines intensity and delicacy, is a true statement of the band's current intentions, and at the same time, it perfectly matches the mood of the anime film, which is reaching its climax.


MYSTERIOUS" from "Birds in the Palace" is a song by Queen Bee. The moody sound and Avu-chan's bewitching voice set the mood for the opening of the work.


The song "Aria" from "Berserk Golden Age Arc: MEMORIAL EDITION" goes without saying. The song was written by Susumu Hirasawa. The song and the vocals of Susumu Hirasawa's voice are sure to enliven this magnificent and grandiose fantasy picture scroll.


Lin Shih-hsien, who sings "Ruy Xuan," the opening theme song of "The Magical Master: The Complete Works," is one of Taiwan's top artists. She sings a melancholy ballad in a quiet voice, which brings the story to a climax.


Ichigo Ichie Celebration" is the opening song of "Uzaki-chan Wanna Play! The song is sung by singer Shikano and Naomi Ozora, who plays "Uzaki-chan.
As you can see, each of the five songs is a fusion of the artist's individuality and the atmosphere of the work, and the result is a miraculous tie for 5th place.
