It’s time to announce the results of the second two of the 8 groups in Round 5 – Groups C & D.
The songs which advanced to the Sixth/Sweet 16 Round are in bold. Also, see the full bracket.
Group C
“Presence” by The Indigo – Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~ vs.
“Promise” by Tia – Yakitate!! Japan
“Tomorrow” by Mikuni Shimokawa – Full Metal Panic vs.
“Colors of the Heart” by UVERworld – Blood+

“Higurashi no Naku Koro ni” by Eiko Shimamiya – Higurashi no Naku Koro ni vs.
“Karenai Hana” by Mikuni Shimokawa – Full Metal Panic
More hard choices as usual, as to be expected by this point. I’m already dreading the next round.
Oh yeah, and I think starting with the next round I’ll start posting samples of the songs. It was kind of too much work when I still had so many songs in the bracket, but it’ll be easier when they get down to 16.
Group E/F match-ups for next week are listed after the jump…
