As it turned out, "Crossing Road" (Shokugeki no soma Go no sara ) sung by Mai Fuchigami finished in first place, as it had in the previous round, but there was a heated dead heat leading up to this point.

ZAMB's "Love Satisfaction" (Jyakko-chan Drop Kick'), which had been outside the top 10 until midway through the contest, surged to the top as the deadline approached! It seemed as if the organizational power of the Evil Gods would dominate the ranking again this year.

However, the day the voting was closed was Fuchigami's birthday, and fans united to give the top prize to our own Fuchigami-san as a birthday present! Fans were united in their desire to give the top prize to Mr. Fuchigami as a birthday present. A heated battle ensued, with the final stages of the contest being fought over and over again.

While these two strong entries were at the side, "Troubled Grandpa's Love Love Handsome Scat" by"Troubled Grandpa" slowly gathered votes to take the third place. Satoshi Hino, who plays the role of Grandpa, just keeps on scatting, but the affectionate whispers to Grandma (CV: Inori Minase) that are inserted in the middle of the song are really heartwarming. Once you hear it, you will never forget it. The highly addictive music, which is interesting no matter how many times you listen to it, is sure to get many people on their KOs.

Not to be outdone by the dramatic developments at the top of the list, there were songs that remained in the top 10, and then there were songs that emerged to replace those in 4th place and below.
The first song to take fourth place was "Hikari no Hoshi" from"The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These (NHK version)," sung by ELISA, whose beautiful soprano vocals were fully embellished in this symphonic song. The song was a fitting end to a magnificent space opera, and remained at the top of the list until the end.
Twinkle" (Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE 2nd Season) by Spira Spica, ranked fifth, was another song that consistently garnered votes.

This song was also very popular, as it opened up a new appeal for the unit.

No. 6 song "Kimi wa natu shiroi" (Kakushigoto) is a representative song of Eiichi Otaki, a legendary artist whose name is etched in the history of Japanese rock music. In addition to its popularity as an anime song, the high quality of its music kept it in the top 10 from beginning to end.

Looking at the top 7 and below, female voice actors were also active.
A-B-C-D-Iine★Dance" (Kiratto Pri☆Chan ) at No. 7 and"Tsuri no Sekai e" (Houkago Teibo Nisshi) at No. 9 are character songs with a fun feel and are on the high road of ani-songs.
