Comment from Special Supporter Hiromu Takatsuka:
I am thrilled to be a special supporter for Senkou Riot! Since I was a student and used to play in a band, I have always looked forward to this event. I am deeply moved and excited to be involved. I look forward to feeling the passion of everyone dedicated to music! Let's make this the best summer together!
Comment from Dannie May (Guest Act):
To me, who was too scared and embarrassed as a beginner to even hold a guitar back then, you all standing on stage are already superheroes. I am looking forward to soaking in the sounds that can only be made during your youth and encountering your bursting passion. (Masa)
Comment from MON7A (Guest Act):
I was also in a light music club in high school, so 'Senkou Riot' was a stage I aspired to reach! It has been very useful for my current music career. I will do my best not to lose in this serious battle of my peers! I'm looking forward to it!
Comment from Haku. (Guest Act):
Haku. has also been active since our teens. Many of those musical memories are connected to where we are now! I hope you value your feelings now and continue to deliver the music you truly love! We will also deliver our current music with all our hearts.
What is a 'Special Supporter'…
Previously, we formed a team of judges, including special guests, for the final stage. However, feeling that the term 'judging' is not appropriate for criticizing teen artists, we changed the role to 'special supporter' starting this year. The role focuses on receiving the performances and passionate thoughts of the teen artists, offering advice and encouragement, and supporting them throughout the event.
