With the 10th place ranking tied for the top 10, the result was 11 names in the top 10.

The first place in this year's poll went to Ruriko Aoki, who plays Sakuraka Makuzawa, one of the main heroines of "Goddess Café Terrace. She is tsundere, cute, a terrible cook, and actually has a kind personality.
The storyline is also interesting, but what kind of nasty scenes will be coming up in the future? We can't take our eyes off this character, so we will have to pay attention to how he plays this character.

Second place went to Hikari Kodama, who plays Chris, one of the main characters in "Kizuna no Ariru. She received the full support of her ardent fans and took the second place with flying colors. Ms. Kodama is originally a singer-songwriter, and this is her first attempt at voice acting. However, from the beginning of the story, she played an active role as the partner of the main character, Miraku. She gives a charming performance and sings well.
Incidentally, the cast members of "PathTlive," the virtual unit to which Chris belongs - Ayumi Hihara, Yuzuka Nukui, Rina Kawaguchi, and Arisaki Hanawa - all made the top 10 in this year's poll. What's more, they all ranked in the top 5, which is a surprise!

In addition to anime, the unit is also involved in video distribution and music activities, so if you are interested, be sure to check them out!

Third place went to Misuke Takagi, who plays Lucia in "Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomodachi 2. Lucia, who appeared in the second season of the series, is smitten with Fuyuyoru, who, as usual, rescued them and became their fifth fiancée. Among the heroines, Lucia has a relatively sensible (?) personality. She is played by the lovely Ms. Takagi, who has a relatively sensible (?) personality among the heroines. Takagi's voice is a perfect match for the sisterly and princess-like qualities of the character, which stimulate a desire for protection!

Fourth place goes to Yu Wakui as Shiori Goshiki in "Otogi ni Galaxy," an interesting gap between the sci-fi element of a princess with alien blood and the setting of a highly skilled manga creator. Her elegant-sounding voice is most appealing and soothing to the ear. Her performance is unique in that it has a dignified sound to it.

Along with the cast of "Kizuna no Ariru," Ginyan Chen ranked fifth on the list. She is a newcomer who landed in Japan as Qin Ya in "Re:STARS," a Chinese-made animation in which a man and woman twins aspire to become idols. In this work, subtitles are superimposed on the Chinese performance, and to be honest, it is difficult to understand the detailed nuances of the performance, but her voice is just adorable!

In tenth place are virtual singer Figaro and Serika Hiromatsu, whose career has been expanding in recent years.
Not only voice actresses active in Japan, but also those in China, as well as those who are actually active in Japan. The results of this year's poll were very varied, with both real and virtual voice actors ranked alongside each other. The results of this year's poll are truly a testament to the times we live in.
