AWA, a subscription-based music streaming service operated by AWA Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Akio Togashi), will hold a live concert of V-artists at Akihabara Entas on Saturday, October 19th. The second wave of artists was announced today. In addition, the second round of ticket lottery sales will start at the same time.
As audio live streaming is becoming more and more popular, AWA is holding its first live performance by a V artist in May of this year, leveraging the strengths of Avex and CyberAgent to provide streamers with a place to perform and to enable them to do better. This time, the name has been changed to “AWA UPSTREAM,” aiming to create a culture where “the mutual feelings and enthusiasm of artists and fans swirl and spread all over the world.” Today, the second wave of performing artists has been announced. It has been decided that VSinger’s Hizuki Rurufu, who has a clear singing voice and is actively involved in streaming activities as well as releasing original songs and cover songs, will appear. In addition, the second round of lottery sales for tickets will also start at the same time. Please join “AWA UPSTREAM 2024 AUTUMN,” which will feature a luxurious lineup of artists.
As with the last event, we are also accepting entries for a competition where anyone can participate in a real live performance right. Anyone who is mainly active in singing, such as singers and VSingers, can participate. Please take this opportunity to start an AWA Lounge and get the right to perform at a live performance with a great artist. We look forward to receiving many entries.
