For this the fifth contest, organizers received 67 applications from bands all over Japan, and after preliminary screening of application videos, 19 made it through to the final, where they gave live performances.
All the performers were high school students, but the on-stage guest was a new band popular among the young called “ATARAYO,” whose members have experience of working on this project.
In addition to professional adults, staff members included students specializing in relevant subjects.
The contest host made use of a new up-and-coming voice actor to liven up the proceedings.
The event was held without an audience after taking sufficient measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
