Popular VSingers and singers from Japan and Taiwan will compete in two teams. The winning team will be decided by support through flower chat and flower stamps on the day of the event, and will receive promotional rights in Japan and Taiwan, including outdoor advertising, featured playlist placements, and banner placements. Additionally, we have prepared a project where listeners can win exclusive prizes such as limited voice packs and acrylic stands based on their support through flower chat and flower stamps. Furthermore, as part of the prizes, we have collaborated with "V-tamp," a service that allows creators to easily create and sell 3D digital merchandise using illustrations and voice, to offer digital acrylic stands. ▼ Special Site for "International Singing Battle Vol.2" https://cp.awa.fm/InternationalSingingContest202607/ja ■ Second Wave Artists ▼ Japan ・Quon Tama YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@QuonTama X: https://x.com/quon01tama ・Letora YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UtagawaLetora X: https://x.com/UtagawaLetora ▼ Taiwan ・Earendel YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EarendelXDFP X: https://x.com/EarendelXdfp ・Iruni YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IruniIanvs X: https://x.com/iruni_ianvs ・Vaswawa YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Vaswawa X: https://x.com/Vaswawa ■ "International Singing Battle Vol.2" Appearance Rights Competition Event AWA will host a competition event in the lounge starting June 19th for the right to participate in this event.
