Aspiring musical artists, bands, composer, TV talent and models are invited to join. All musical genres are welcome. Nationalities, sex and age are not asked.

application deadline 31 March 2008

...

The data will be transmitted to Sony Music Japan directly

Auditioning division, SD Group of Sony Music Japan will review them

Those that pass the preliminary selection will proceed to live audition at MI Hollywood

The successful applicants will be contacted after the audition and Sony Music Japan will support their debut



Any applicant 18 years or younger must have consent of a parent or legal guardian.


They had an international music competition some time ago, but I don't know what happened with that. This time around the second round auditions will be in LA. Some of your karaoke dorks should apply <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':huh:' />

With the last audition they held a few years ago, I think they only ended up taking one band made up of asian dudes from the northeast. But I don't remember their names and I don't think they got famous xD

It'd be hilariously awesome to see & hear the applicants who didn't make the cut, sorta like those American Idol reject specials. Oh the picture I sent with my entry years ago <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I've seen this. Some girls take it so seriously. I wouldn't be able to get through an audition based just on talent. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> I can't really sing. I sing like a H!P girl. XD Cute and not too horrible, but no real amazing power behind it.

I hope at least one elderly, illegal immigrant, cross dresser enters. They won't have many opportunities like this one.
