■Characters with good singing ability ranked in at the table!
1st place goes to Rurikawa Yuki from “A3!” with an approximately 25% support rating.
Rurikawa Yuki is a character that always dresses up as a female. Some of the comments received are, “I like how he never compromises on toward things he liked. Despite that he always acts strong, has a sharp tongue, and although he is cool as an adult, he also shows a side of his weak side as a middle school student. Yuki-kun played by Toki-san is really amazing”, and “He is quite cool as he does the things he like without caring about the people around him”, which depicts that his popularity comes from his cute visual and strong will.

Regarding the leader of Growth, Etou Kouki, we had received comments saying, “Despite he looks like a cool prince, he has a motherly position as he can do all the house chores. On top of that, I was attracted by his little airheaded young master personality gap.” There was also a comment regarding his singing voice, “Toki-san's elegant and high pitch voice fit perfectly with the image of Kou-kun. His singing vibrato is also amazing.”

3rd place goes to Tsuzuki Kei “THE IDOLM@STER Side M” with an approximately 10% support rating.
