The International Song Battle, which will be held on Thursday, March 27th, will be an online event featuring 21 singers from Japan and Taiwan, with the aim of encouraging the industry further, and creating a place for global activities. On the day, the performers will be divided into three teams: Red, White, and Blue, and one person will sing. The rankings will be determined by the number of fans voted on the day, with the number of flowers cast on the day being converted into points, and the winning team will be awarded outdoor advertisements that will be held in Japan and Taiwan. Additionally, depending on the total number of flowers in your team, you can earn playlists within AWA, KK BOX, ABEMA commercials, and more. In addition, the artists who won the number one point on each team will have interviews published in both Japanese and Taiwanese media.

Today, members of Red Team, White Team and Blue Team were announced ahead of the event. In order to get to know the team members announced this time, we have also decided to hold a pre-lounge where members can talk about their interactions and enthusiasm. Please take this opportunity to get to know a lot about your team members besides your favorites.

In addition, as a listener’s bonus, we will be holding a support campaign where you can win luxurious products such as can badges designed exclusively for this event, posters, and autographed acrylic stands. You can earn original event merchandise depending on the number of flowers you throw.
