Entry begins for the event to compete for the rights to appear in the "International Exchange Song Battle," an online event featuring over 20 singers from Japan and Taiwan.

AWA, a subscription-based music streaming service run by AWA Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Togashi Akimi), is a subscription-based music streaming service that is available at KKCompany Japan LLC (Location: Shibuya, Tokyo) In cooperation with KKBOX, a music distribution service run by the ward and representative of Tani Kazuhiro), we will be holding an online event called “International Exchange Song Battle,” which brings together over 20 singers from Japan and Taiwan. It will be held on Thursday the 27th. Prior to the event, we have begun to enter a competition event to help people appear in the International Song Battle, which anyone can participate in.

In recent years, VSingers from Asia, including Japan and Taiwan, have been remarkable in their activities. However, when viewed from a global perspective, the current situation is that compared to other artists, there is a limited opportunity for them to be active. In this article, VSinger and singers want to increase the number of environments in which they can work globally, AWA and KKBOX, the leading music subscription services in Japan and Taiwan, will join forces to “cross the borders with music.” We decided to work on the concept. First, we will be pioneering this event, “International Exchange Songs” which attracted over 20 singers from Japan and Taiwan, with the aim of pioneering the exchange between VSingers from Japan and Taiwan, further revitalizing the industry, and creating a global opportunity for the global success of the event. A battle will be held.

This contested event will be a stance on the right to appear in the International Song Battle. There will also be a luxurious second prize that will allow you to perform in “International Exchange Song Battle” and if you win the championship, you can promote both Japan and Taiwan. This is also a unique opportunity to perform with popular Japanese and Taiwanese VSinger and singers, so please take this opportunity to start an AWA Lounge and get the right to perform in “International Exchange Song Battle.” We look forward to receiving many entries.
