■ “I would like to be one of the judges at the final round, so I look forward to receiving your applications.” (Oguri Shun)
A new actor audition, “TREASURE HUNTING – Go on an adventure to discover your talent” will be held.
This audition is being held jointly by four companies: Sony Music Entertainment Inc., Tristone Entertainment Inc., USJ LLC (Universal Studios Japan), and Toho Co., Ltd. This is the first time that these four companies representing the entertainment industry have come together to host the audition, with the aim of discovering and nurturing actors who can meet the entertainment needs of not only the domestic market, but also the overseas market of the future.
No acting experience is necessary, just a spirit of challenge. Experienced staff will work closely with each individual to carefully train them to become actors who can inspire people.
In this audition, those who pass the second round of auditions will receive lessons similar to those of professional actors, so that they will be fully prepared to take part in the final stage at Universal Studios Japan, the venue for the final audition. As the audition title suggests, we are looking for people who are willing to take on the adventure of a new world of acting.
On the audition website, a video was posted in which actor Shun Oguri, CEO of Tristone Entertainment, speaks about the auditions. “I would like to be one of the judges at the final round, so I look forward to receiving your applications,” he says.
For details and notes regarding application, please check the audition website.
