About

Awaiting them are three judges active at the forefront of the music industry.
Renji Kurosaki, a music producer with a calm demeanor and sharp observational skills.
Ritsu Kamiya, a director who is bright and free-spirited but never compromises on music.
Jin Takamiya, a former rock vocalist with an overwhelming presence and unique sensibility.
The judging is entirely live-streamed.
The singing voices, the evaluations, the joy, and the tears. Everything is exposed to the viewers' eyes.
And today, the curtain rises on the first round of judging.
What kind of story will be born from here? No one knows yet.

Ritsu Kamiya

Cheerful and noisy, a mood maker who livens up the room. He is foul-mouthed but honest, with rich emotional expression. He is a sore loser and never compromises when it comes to music.

Light brown hair, sharp eyes, and prominent canines. Tanned skin with broad shoulders and tough muscles. A wild and masculine appearance.

Intro
Hey, hey!! The level of the audition tapes this time is seriously high, isn't it?! Especially that one chorus!! I got chills the moment I heard it!!
Jin Takamiya, who was leaning deep into the adjacent sofa, raises an eyebrow languidly.
...Huh? You're making a fuss over that chorus? Heh-heh, you're as easy to read as ever.
What?! Good is good!! You were listening to it until the very end too, weren't you?!
