I would like to sincerely thank to all 12 voters that took part in this Japanese National Final. I haven't seen NFs being very popular recently and it feels very validating knowing that so many of you voted.
Y'all are slay.
Now I'll reveal the final standings:
80 POINTS
77 POINTS 75 POINTS

As you can see there between the top 3 there is a really small point difference.
With each voter the ranking switched a lot and it was very hard for me to predict who will end up winning.
Now I would like to reveal that the song which received the lowest score is...

Full XGvision Results:
It's time I get what I deserve
Act like he don't know what I'm worth
We spend a lot of time talkin'
But it feels like I'm never heard
Listen to what comes out my mouth (Ah)
Before you try to take me out (Ah)
You oughta know what I'm about
Treat me like a lady, this ain't up for debatin'
Boy, stop playin' 'fore it goes a different route (Ah)
Imagine a world where we could play different roles
Where girls be takin' control, oh, oh
Wrapped 'round our fingers, they couldn't tеll us no, no, no
Welcome to the puppеt show
Where we play 'em like they're plastic dolls
They'll do anything, anything, anything
When you got 'em hangin' by a string, by a string
Gonna play 'em like they're toys
We'll make 'em do what we enjoy
They'll do anything
When you got 'em by a string
Puppet-pet, puppet, puppet

Boy, you think that I'm in love with you?
Ha-ha, cry me a river

I might cut you off like "Bye, Felicia" with it

Might just make you do the things I want you to (I want you to)
Playin' puppet master, everything's so easy
