■ Background
In recent years, with the spread of SNS such as TikTok and YouTube, the environment where even the younger generation can broadcast their singing and expressions has expanded. On the other hand, opportunities to perform on an actual stage and be evaluated by third parties remain limited.
Particularly among the kids generation, there are many cases where online broadcasting and real-world experiences are disconnected, creating a demand to build growth opportunities that cross over both.
Given this background, this event is being held as a new platform that combines real-world singing opportunities with the chance for discovery and development.
■ Event Overview
The 'Jamz Kids Tournament' is a kids-only singing event targeted at students from 1st grade elementary to 3rd grade junior high school.
The winner will be awarded a cash prize of 100,000 yen, and in conjunction with a project by the creator 'Yuru-chan'—who has 170,000 TikTok followers—3 to 5 participants evaluated for their future potential and star quality will be selected as candidates for production.
