Arcaea Vote is an unofficial, non-profit fan-organized online popularity poll to survey players' favorite characters and songs. This event has no affiliation with lowiro.
The series began with the Arcaea 1.6.5 Song Popularity Ranking (#1), followed by the Arcaea 1.9 Song Popularity Ranking (#2), Arcaea 2.0 Song Popularity Ranking (#3), Arcaea 2.3 Song Popularity Ranking (#4), and Arcaea 3.0 Song Popularity Ranking (#5).
@Reversion_ subsequently organized the Arcaea 5th Anniversary Song Popularity Vote (#6), Arcaea 5.0 Song Popularity Vote (#7), and Arcaea 8th Anniversary Song Popularity Vote (#8). This site continues the series and added character voting in the Arcaea 9th Anniversary Popularity Poll (#9).
Past Results contains the #1–#9 leaderboards and full voting dates. The #2 song rankings compare against #1. Starting with #3, song rankings show each song's ranks and changes against both preceding editions. A dash means the song did not appear in that edition's leaderboard. Comparisons are available in song and pack views; love-rate rankings do not display overall-rank comparisons.
APV9 rules: On the home page, select the [Characters] or [Songs] category, verify your identity through any available social media account, and you can cast your vote. Follow the on-screen prompts to select your candidates, fill in your name (or choose to submit anonymously), then click [Submit Vote].
The song vote uses a 30 + 1×3 format: each voter may cast 30 normal tickets and 1 love ticket. The character vote uses a 10 + 1×3 format: each voter may cast 10 normal tickets and 1 love ticket.
The love ticket candidate must be chosen from among your normal ticket selections.
Rankings are calculated using a points system: each normal ticket is worth 1 point and each love ticket adds 3 bonus points (4 points total). In the event of a tie, the candidate with more love tickets ranks higher; if love ticket counts are also equal, the candidates are tied.
For song voting, in addition to the normal tickets besides your love ticket, you may choose one extra song and provide a reason for your choice, which counts as one bonus pick. This bonus pick does not affect song scores.
From APV10 onward: select 10–40 songs or 5–10 characters. Each selection earns 1 point. You must designate one selected candidate as your love ticket (+3, 4 points total). You may designate one different selected candidate as your bonus pick (+1, 2 points total), or leave it unset. Both special picks are included in the selection limit.
Generally, an anniversary popularity poll is held each year during Arcaea's anniversary celebration. The Arcaea 9th Anniversary Popularity Poll runs from 9 March 2026 00:00:00 to 31 March 2026 23:59:59 (UTC).
Similar to the Touhou Project Popularity Vote, this event uses third-party social media accounts to verify vote authenticity and ensure data integrity. Beyond the vote data itself, the event only stores whether a verified account has submitted a vote.
The only information requested is an auto-filled username, which you can manually change before submitting. No personal information beyond what you manually submit will be stored.
Voters from Chinese mainland may choose to verify via WeChat Official Account. This method cannot retrieve your WeChat nickname, so you will need to enter your name manually. The Official Account is operated personally by @SkyEye_FAST and also publishes articles related to Arcaea Vote.
You can fill in the "reason for choosing" your love ticket. After the poll ends, we will select some messages to showcase. We respect your copyright and hope you will sign your name to the message.
If you prefer not to sign for privacy reasons, you may choose the "Submit Anonymously" option. Votes submitted this way will not contain any personal information.
After submitting a vote with one account, you cannot use another account on the same device to submit another vote. This is to prevent the same person from submitting votes with multiple accounts.
All vote data identified as fraudulent will be entirely deleted, including all batches of votes traceable to the same fraudulent voter. After deletion, these votes are completely void.
The popularity poll is simply meant to survey how much the community loves the characters and songs in Arcaea, and it is an opportunity to showcase and discuss great works in Arcaea. Please do not act contrary to this spirit.
No. Please confirm your selected candidates are correct before submitting.
The character vote candidates include all original partners in Arcaea (i.e., excluding collaboration partners), as well as certain characters who appear in the Arcaea storyline.
For original partners, multi-person partners are listed separately; different form partners of the same character are treated as one candidate.
Non-partner story characters must have a clear name, substantial related plot, and must not be characters from collaborations with other games. Background characters who have only had a name mentioned, and characters who are confirmed to exist but have no reliable official name, will not be included.
The song vote includes all playable songs in the Arcaea mobile version on the day voting begins. It does not include April Fools' songs not yet permanently in the game or background music in various menus, nor does it include songs that have been removed or replaced (e.g. Particle Arts).
Songs whose Beyond difficulty has a different audio source than other difficulties will have the Beyond difficulty song title listed as a separate candidate.
The song Last has only a single option in the normal ticket section. If this song is selected as a normal ticket, the love ticket may be designated as Last, Last | Moment, or Last | Eternity.
