As live audio streaming is gaining momentum, AWA has been working since last year to leverage the strengths of Avex and CyberAgent to provide broadcasters with more opportunities to play an active role and enable them to do even better activities. We have been holding real live performances by V artists. Just like last time, we have decided to hold the third edition of “AWA UPSTREAM 2025 SPRING” with the aim of creating a culture where “mutual feelings and enthusiasm between artists and fans swirl and spread all over the world.” The first artists to perform will be transform singer Nadomi, who straddles the line between the virtual and real worlds, Ibaramuan from Nemurihime Vsinger, and virtual singer-songwriter Rin Saki. We are planning to announce additional artists in the future. Ticket lottery applications will start from 12:00 on Wednesday, January 8th.

In addition, we will hold a competition event for the right to perform at a real live performance that anyone can participate in. Anyone who is mainly active in singing, such as singers or Vsinger, can participate. Please take this opportunity to open AWA Lounge and get the right to perform live with gorgeous artists. We look forward to receiving many entries.
