The spring 2020 anime was broadcast amidst the raging new coronavirus. Many anime productions were forced to delay or cancel their broadcast schedules, but even under such circumstances, anime songs that colored the productions seemed to have strongly encouraged anime fans.
The trend of close tie-ups between J-POP artists and works, which has been on the increase in recent years, was even more prevalent this season. The number of tie-up songs that emphasize the image of the work was also on the rise, making for a very exciting voting session.

The song that came out on top by a landslide was "Today's Makoto ni Harutenya" from "Takkoku Tori Tantei Sho" (Takkoku Bird Detective Place). In fact, it showed overwhelming strength, with a double score difference from the second-place winner.

Many female fans were captivated by Ms. Furukawa's sexy singing of the jazz song-style "Adulte" world! The animation video is cool, but the music video is also spectacular!　Ms. Furukawa has also sung in "Kaguya-sama ga Kesshirasai ka? ～It is no exaggeration to say that this spring was "Shin Furukawa's spring.

He is also starring in "Kaguya-sama ga Kesshirasai ka? ～ DADDY! DADDY ! DO ! feat. Airi Suzuki" ranked third.

Masayuki Suzuki, who debuted last year as a major newcomer to the ani-song world, showed his impressive stature in this song as well. Continuing from the previous song, this is a soulful love song, which also received many votes. Ms. Airi Suzuki, who also sings on the chorus, adds to the song with her smooth voice, which is a hallmark of Halo Pro.
Both songs have a nice, male-like austerity and sex appeal.

Sandwiched between these two strong songs, the second place was occupied by "Chiisana Hibi," the opening song of "Kakushigoto" sung by frumpool.

The opening video depicting the daily lives of Goto and his son in a refreshingly colorful landscape is exquisitely matched by the liberating band sound! The OP video, which looks a bit like a music video, is supremely beautiful.
This song "Chiisana Hibi" will become an irreplaceable treasure. ...... is one of the songs that even makes me feel a sense of sadness. The original comic is nearing its climax, so I wondered if the song was created by calculating backwards from the last scene. It is a song that fits so well with the original comic that it seems as if it was written in anticipation of the final scene.

The top three songs are all songs that incorporate the world view of the work well and are musically worth listening to, which is a very satisfying result.
Of course, there are also great anime songs in the top 4 and below.

The world view of the work is firmly incorporated into the song, and angela has the artistic ability and skill to easily transcend genre barriers! They did a great job this time as well.
Fourth place went to " I've been reincarnated as a villainous daughter with nothing but doom flags in an Otome game..." OP "There's more than one route for an Otome! is an anime song of the 21st century! is an anime song of the 21st century!
Nanaho's "Never Let You Go!" from "Kyuu Ei" at No. 5 is also noteworthy. This song was written and composed by Jun Asae, who also wrote the original story and composed the music for "Angel Beats" and "Charlotte. The strong beat of the chorus, in particular, is irresistibly energetic!

Let's take a look at the top 6 and below. First, at No. 6 is "CRY" by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:mizuki, the OP of "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These (NHK version)". In addition, there were artists closely related to the Internet culture, such as "Tokitoki to toki to violence" by halca, OP of "Jyakamichan Drop Kick'" at No. 7, and "Good Bye" by Urashima Sakatafune, OP of "Bungo to Archemist - Judgment Gear -" at No. 8. In addition, "NAVIGATOR" from "Fugou Kantei Balance: UNLIMITED" sung by the idol group SixTONES of the Johnny's Office appeared at No. 9.

mizuki, who sings "CRY," is a vocalist who is also active in a music unit called UNIDOTS, and its member KONNOTSUGUHITO has participated in the "Magical Mirai" tour as a bass player. Halca is also a native Internet user who has been familiar with not only anime songs but also vocaloid songs since she was a child. Urashima Sakatafune is a unit of singers who have been singing from "Utattemita" (I tried singing it!), and they are all familiar with Internet culture in various ways. The fact that these artists work side by side with J-POP artists active in the major scene seems to indicate the freedom that is typical of the anime song scene.

And at No. 10 was "Proclamation," from "Shin Sakura Taisen the Animation! Teikoku Kagekidan <New Chapter>" from " Shin Sakura Taisen the Animation" and "Mirai Kuru Kuru Yume Kuru! sung by Maria Sawada. The song was sung by Maria Sawada! Teikoku Kagekidan <New Chapter>" is a reworking of the standard anime and game song "Keki! Teikoku Kagekidan", a standard anime and game song. It is a song that incorporates the passion of the original song with a more dramatic development, and it is a nostalgic yet new song that has gained the support of fans old and new.
On the other hand, "Mirai Kuru Kuru Yume Kuru! is a theme song for kids' anime. The fact that these anime songs that are anime songs are also ranked well shows how rich this season's anime songs have been, despite the fact that many of them were suspended or postponed.
