Your favorite male seiyuu, your favorite music releases, and 2D music projects. THTFHQ AWARDS are back for its 7th edition!
Welcome to this year’s edition of the THTFHQ AWARDS!
This is the 7th edition dedicated to celebrating good CD releases, impressive performances, surprising solo debuts, rising stars active in the music industry that have impressed everyone, the best solo artists, and 2D music projects.
And all it needs is your votes!
All the categories up for voting are the following:
- Rising Star of the Year (seiyuu 30 years old or younger who were active in, at least, two (2) 2D music projects (singing) in the present year/winners from previous editions are not eligible for this category)
- 2D Group of the Year
- 2D Music Project of the Year
- Album of the Year (by seiyuu solo artists/bands/seiyuu units)
- Best band/seiyuu unit of the year
- Solo Artist of the Year
Best New Artist (seiyuu solo artists/bands debuted in the present year) won’t be open for voting as there was only 1 solo debut in 2024.
Shortlisting of nominees
To avoid chaos and way too many artists to vote for, all categories now feature up to 10 (maximum) seiyuu/2D groups/albums for you to vote in.
THTFHQÂ shortlisted those, considering the quality of the music released, uniqueness, review rating, and accolades (the latter being only used as a tie-breaker to decide who made it to the nominees in case of a draw).
As such, many groups and seiyuu may not feature in any of the categories despite being active in 2024.
Please note that over 25 different 2D music projects were active in 2023, totaling over 90 different groups. CDs released by such groups amount to over 200.
So of course, it’s impossible to feature everyone at these awards.
Results announcement
Results are first presented on February 21, 2025, on a special episode of SEIYUU LOUNGE (episode 238).
The episode will only cover the winners of each category, highlighting their feats and music released in 2024.
On February 22, 2025, the website will publish a written feature including all winners and a list of the nominees in each category.
THTFHQ won’t unveil the number of votes the winner, the runner-up (or anyone else) gets.
Additionally, THTFHQ reserves the right to instantly disqualify any nominee with an abnormal rise in votes (vote manipulation by using different IPs and other underhanded strategies employed by fans) and block the IPs of people voting multiple times.
The Voting is Open!
FAQs
For how long will the voting be open?
THTFHQ Awards kick off on January 27, 2025 at 00h00 GMT and end on February 14, 2025, at 23h59 GMT. Reminders will be made every two days on THTFHQ’s social media accounts.
When will I get to know the results?
On February 21, 2025, via a SEIYUU LOUNGE episode and later on, published as a series of articles hitting the website around February 22, 2025.
How many times can I vote?
Only once (1) for each category during the whole voting period.
Who is eligible for this edition of THTFHQ AWARDS?
First and foremost, male seiyuu. Then, per category, there are restrictions, making each a unique voting.
– Bands/Seiyuu Unit of the Year: only bands, duos, or groups created not stemming from anime or 2D projects
– Rising stars: only male seiyuu 30 years old or younger that have been active in more than two (2) 2D music projects in the present year / Previous winners are not eligible for this category
– 2D music projects: only those active in 2023 and that had quality music, highly-ranked CDs at THTFHQ, uniqueness, or achieved impressive accolades
– ALBUM OF THE YEAR: only by solo artists/bands/seiyuu units that do not stem from anime or 2D projects
– SOLO ARTIST OF THE YEAR: only solo artists/bands/seiyuu units that do not stem from anime or 2D projects
What if I vote several times?
Only your first vote on each category counts.
Multiple votes by the same people or erratic voting by different IPs in a short amount of time – or prolonged amount of time – will not be counted and the seiyuu, 2D group, or the CD in question that is receiving those boosted votes will be disqualified from the voting.
Be careful of this. There are ways to know when people are spamming votes.
I can’t vote! Please, help!
The survey should be mobile-friendly, however, a couple of notes:
If you encounter any issues with accessing the voting, it is recommended that MAC users use Google Chrome to complete the survey or, for iOS users, enable “desktop mode” on your browser.
If you are an Android user and find yourself unable to vote, please make sure that you have “desktop mode” enabled in the options on your browser. After that, please try again. It should work.
You forgot to add seiyuu X/2D group X to the survey. Can you add them?
If a seiyuu/2D group/album is not featured in a category, it’s because it was not shortlisted (nominated) for it.
Are the THTFHQ AWARDS a popularity contest?
They are hybrid. While the winner of each category will be celebrated in the SEIYUU LOUNGE episode in which the results will be first announced, the written version will celebrate the 10 nominees in each category. Both versions of the final results won’t disclose the number of votes each nominee got.
I am not a fan of one of the seiyuu/2D groups in the survey, or I don’t have an opinion in a certain category, can I skip those?
Yes, you can. Vote for the categories you feel like you have an opinion about. If your favorite seiyuu is not featured, you can skip as well voting.
Are THTFHQ Awards sponsored? Are you going to hand in awards to the seiyuu in real life?
These awards are, in no way, sponsored.
THTFHQ Awards are a way to connect with our passionate community and get to know what music you like and the seiyuu you love every given year. In this format, and at the same time, fans will get to check the pulse of their fandom by voting for their favorite seiyuu music releases.
Remember, THTFHQ AWARDS are all about celebrating the music released yearly as well as the awesome voices of various male seiyuu that consistently impress us all.
Hope you enjoyed all the music your favorite seiyuu and 2D groups released in 2024!
