The top 10 songs all received a large number of votes, but one stood out among them: "Hibari" from "The Casebook of Lord Hermeroy II -Magic Eyes Collecting Train Grace note-". The song was sung by female singer Asuka Okura's solo project "ASCA. The lyrics and music were written by Yuki Kajiura, who is becoming a familiar face in the "Fate" anime series, and the song has attracted a lot of attention in the past. Mr. Kajiura has long had a reputation for songs with a grand and fantastic worldview, and this time, the melodious melodies and warmth of the live instruments that are typical of Mr. Kajiura's style make this a song that will touch your heart.
Ms. Okura's clear, yet penetrating voice adds a unique brilliance to the song.
It was a convincing No. 1.

In second place was "Damehadame" by "Tejyo Senpai" (Senpai Tejyo Senpai). This party tune has a slightly nostalgic song-like melody and a playful arrangement. Minori Suzuki's energetic vocals also make this song a pleasant listen.
We also interviewed Minori about the story behind the production of the song, so please be sure to read on.

Third place went to "Sounan desu ka? of "Ikiru". The song is the ED theme for a work about high school girls who survive a plane crash on a deserted island, and the title, as well as the song itself, is a medium tune with a strong sense of hope for life. The song is sung by Kiyono Yasuno. Her soft voice matches the music and the image of the work.

Ballads that express the world view of the work deeply in song line up from No. 4 to No. 6.
The OP is a hard-hitting song that gets the audience excited, while the ED is a quieter song that brings the curtain down, a typical anime song structure. Personally, I think "Marutsuke" from "Given" is a song that will make you cry quite a bit, thanks to the combination of the sadness of the lyrics and the melancholy voice of Shogo Yano, who plays Mafuyu Sato. Recommended.

Seventh place goes to "Kanade" from "KARAKAMIUGAIDE NO TAKAGI-SAN 2". As in the previous work, this is a character song in which Ms. Riyo Takahashi, who plays Takagi-san, covers J-pop songs that Takagi-san might listen to. This summer, she sang a classic song by Sukima Switch. Takahashi's straightforward voice touched my heart, and it was another poignant ballad.

On the other hand, the song "How Many Dumbbells Can You Hold? Macho Aname? in "Macho Aname? In a word, it is a "stupid song," but the chorus of thick men repeating over a steady beat and the lyrics calling out the parts of muscles are somehow addictive, and before you know it, you find yourself singing along. I'm one of those people.

In ninth place, "New" by "Demon King, Retry! New" from "Maou-sama, Retry! This song features the powerful voice of Yoh Kanade Tojo accompanied by a fast-paced band sound. Although she is only 19 years old, her magnificent singing performance is sure to raise expectations for her future career.

At No. 10 was "Connected" by Copcraft. The song was sung by Mausu Yoshioka, who plays the role of Tirana Exedirica. Ms. Yoshioka is a popular voice actress who was the center of the recently disbanded voice actress unit "Wake Up, Girls! The hard rock sound of this song is impressive, but it is interesting that Ms. Yoshioka's dignified singing voice gives it the flavor of a character song.

In this survey, the most popular songs were the medium to slow songs that are typical of ED themes. Why don't you enjoy listening to the ED theme at the end of summer?
