Animation Kobe Theme Song Award
The theme songs of anime or the animations of other media distributed from September of the previous year to August of the year in Japan become candidates. The vote by fans is done, and the best five voted songs become the candidates to final. Especially, the committee sees more importance to one that made only for the anime and sing the 'spilit' of it.
Only the Thema Song Award is influenced by the fans. This format started from the 4th event. The total number of votes in a year is about 10,000 votes. The result of the vote is also announced on the official sites of Radio Kansai, Anitama.com and the programs of Radio Kansai before the event. Though this is a preliminary vote to reduce the candidates to final, the candidates chosen in first by the vote always win the awards, at present.
