Music Tournament 2.5 has begun ended! Thank you for your support!

Hey hey hey what's up General Forum, it's your boi bigtiddyoneesan, here to finally commence the long awaited (4 days to be exact) 'Music Tournament 2.5: Anime Openings (Cut Versions)'!
Take a look at this magnificent bracket!
And what would such an important event be without a special guest? I used the connections I've built up through the years to get a guy we all know and love. And he's not just any special guest. Nay, he's a celebrity guest! Can you 'guess't who he is?

And with that, on to the format and rules! These are important, so please read them at least four times!
Format
[ul]- There are 64 entries in this tournament. All songs in the running are the cut versions of anime openings. In other words, they're the opening themes you see at the start of an anime episode. Visuals are, of course, included in their appeal. Factoring an opening's visuals into your vote is very much encouraged.
- Each phase of votes will span approximately 2 days. And after a voting phase ends, the next one begins immediately. Voting phases will begin and end between 10 p.m. and 12 a.m. Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). If you'd like to check where your time zone is, I brought this map with me, so feel free to take a look.
- Each round consists of a maximum of 8 matchups. Once the later rounds start, there will less than 8 matchups available at current level. Eight is the 'maximum' because we will not start voting on a higher level in the bracket until all the votes concerning the lower levels have been submitted and counted.
- If a matchup results in a tie, we will have the residential tie breaker, @EOTFOFYL step in to vote and break the tie.
- Whenever a new voting phase starts everyone on the 'ping list' will be @'ed in the post that begins the phase, which will notify them of the start of the voting phase. This list is used to encourage participation in the tournament. Without notifications and/or actual songs of yours in the running, it can be easy to forget a tournament is going on, especially if you don't have some sort of reminder. By default, the only ones on this ping list are the 16 contestents whose songs are in the tournament. However, if you wish to be added to this elite 'notification squad', just comment something along the lines of "ping me", and you'll be added to the list. And on the flip side, if you're on the list and for whatever reason wish to be removed, just comment "remove ping" or something of the like, and you'll be removed from the list.
- Each of the 16 contestants has one song in each bracket. This was done in order to level the playing field for each contestant, giving them all an equal chance to win. The placement of each of their songs into the quadrants was done completely randomly. The positions of the songs in each quadrant was also done completely randomly. I figured this was the most impartial method of creating the bracket.[/ul]

Rules
[ul]- Votes from users whose accounts are created during (or after) August 2020 will not be counted. While votes from this category of users is unlikely, this rule is still in place in order to prevent any alt accounts from artificially increasing vote counts.
- You are only allowed to vote for one song in each matchup (obviously I guess, lol). However, you are allowed to spread your votes out through multiple comments for a single voting phase, if desired. For example, if you only vote for 5 out of the 8 matchups one day, and then vote for the remaining 3 the next day, your votes will be counted (given that the voting phase for those matchups is still ongoing of course).
- Voting for your own submission is allowed. I will be shamelessly voting for my own submissions, after all.
- Discussion of the openings is heavily encouraged. Even saying things along the lines of "this OP is shit" is allowed. (I mean, what would I do about it otherwise? Ban you? Lmao.)
- We're all just here to have a nice time rating some animoo openings. Just as in the Submissions Thread, not only is shitposting allowed here, it's actively encouraged. Have fun. And, of course, if you don't have fun, there will be consequences.
- Thanks for reading, famalamadingdong! 💯👌💯👌💯👌💯
