The “Masked Singer Audition to Discover New Talents, Focusing on Voice and Story,” organized by Romanz Corporation, has announced that applications will open on October 10, 2025. Romanz Corporation is a subsidiary of Link-U Group Inc. and is engaged in promotion utilizing VTubers and streamers.

Innovative Audition Concept

The concept of this audition is “discovering talents with stories in their voices.” Participants will perform while concealing their faces with masks, and the evaluation will not only focus on singing technique and vocal range but also on the depth of expression based on the applicants’ life experiences. The judges will be the extremely popular singing group “Seijin Dansei 3ningumi“, which boasts over 160 million total views on YouTube.

Supportive Judging by Seijin Dansei 3ningumi

The judging panel, comprised of Seijin Dansei 3ningumi, will do more than simply evaluate singing; they will support the growth of the applicants. They have their own experiences of overcoming setbacks and challenges, which will help them become guides in discovering and supporting new talents. The audition will place significant emphasis on how participants express their backgrounds and stories through their singing.

How to Participate in the Audition

Applications will be accepted until October 31, 2025, targeting males and non-binary individuals aged 15 and older. Applications can be submitted through a dedicated form and will undergo document screening, interviews, and singing evaluations leading to the final selection. The progress of the audition will be published sequentially on YouTube and various social media platforms. For details on the audition and application process, please check the official website.

Reactions and Future Prospects

This audition stands out uniquely by not requiring participants to show their faces, offering a distinctive approach compared to other auditions. This format provides an environment where participants are evaluated purely on their talents and stories, rather than their appearance. There are high expectations to discover new talents with infinite potential hidden in their voices through this audition. In the future, it is anticipated that such audition formats will become mainstream and bring about a new transformation in the entertainment industry.
