The event, for which entries have now opened, is a collaboration between RKB Radio and AWA, and features Maizuru Yokato, a virtual Hakata YouTuber who is helping to enliven Fukuoka, as the host, with the chance to appear on a new music program. Creators can share their music and performances with listeners across the country, whether that be singing, playing instruments, airing original songs, or reading or talking using music. There are also chances to win fantastic prizes, such as a tie-up for the ending theme of the program, production of a program jingle, a “program jack” where they can appear alone on the entire program for one week, and the right to appear on other regular RKB Radio programs.
In addition to the prize winners based on the number of points, this event will also have a new category for a “Director’s Award” in which the RKB Radio program director will watch the lounge of all those who streamed for a certain period of time and select the streamer who resonated with them the most. This makes it a special event where anyone can have a chance to appear on the program, just by streaming in the AWA Lounge.
As audio live streaming becomes more popular, AWA is leveraging the strengths of Avex and CyberAgent to provide streamers with many opportunities to shine and support them in their activities. This event was also realized from the desire of streamers to deliver their voices to more people. AWA is actively scouting people who want to seize the opportunity to discover breakout artists from audio live streaming and implement large-scale projects. Please keep an eye on AWA’s upcoming event plans.
