Bells were ringing in all of the cathedrals of Osaka and all over the Kansai as Eru Chitanda was voted in as the 14th Saimoe Prime Minister of Japan after winning the Heavenly Tiara, defeating Yukino Yukinoshita 6430-5491, winning 54 percent of the vote. With the 2channel Anime Saimoe Tournament gone dark, the International Saimoe League champion will succeed Nodoka Haramura and Saki Miyanaga, the 2014 2channel AST joint winners.

The match is declared to be a massive upset and the Upset of the Round, as Eru Chitanda came into the postseason as a big longshot to the win the Tiara with humble odds of 12-1. The victory also means that the ISML will have two retirements from the competition proper, as Kotori Itsuka also will not be eligible to compete in the regular season.

"Houtarou always told me, if you're going to go out, go out with a bang," said Chitanda at the victory rally at Koshien Stadium. "The one person I love in this world was right all along. This season, I made it a priority to listen to everything he has to say because he told me that if I win this, I won't have to compete in this thing any longer.

"To everyone of you, all my constituents, all my supporters, all my friends, we are in a rough time in this world. I now realize that the mystique of this world is broad, deep, rich, something you just can't explain. To this end, I plan to spend my one year as Saimoe Prime Minister as a servant to the Japanese people. Let me know what you want to make our country better, and I will do the best I can to make your visions a reality.

"This world, despite all its troubles, its wars, strife and social issues...it parallels that of life. Don't be afraid to take advantage of what adventures await you in this beautiful country and in this beautiful world. Live your life and be curious like me! Don't be afraid of what's around the corner or what you will see when you open that door of opportunity.

"2016 will be a year that will get all of Japan pumped up, with the Olympics and many other great things that will captivate the world. Let's team up and make this great country the best country on Earth. Because when all is said and done: we are all curious! Thank you, may God bless you, and may God bless Japan!"
