The number of wins changes each time.

(Osaka finals) One band and one SSW with the highest score based on the audience’s show of hands and judges’ votes will be the winner.

(Japan Finals) 1st Judging: Among the top majority with the most audience votes (show of hands + online votes (MUDIA)) ⇒ 2nd Judging: The highest number of guest judge votes ⇒ Winner (advance to Germany International Final).
