I wonder how she intends to manage all of these submissions. Since she's accepting English and Japanese applicants, that's gonna be a crazy amount of people.

Yeah, but the 'under 25' knocks it down quite a bit.

Plus "a photo of the candidate" can weed out the fug-o's fast.

Why not just use a Vocaloid?! I hear that's trending. Very Happy

Too bad for the male Susan Boyles of the world then! Laughing
(Or that China Olympics child singer.
And it's for a non-profit cultural promotion too.)

I would think that someone as accomplished as Yoko Kanno would go for talent over image, but I guess that's just how it goes in the biz Rolling Eyes such a shame.

That's not the same lyricist who wrote for the ending theme for Ghost in the Shell is it? I liked the music, but the lyrics were just odd/what is going on and I wasn't that much into the male singer. Love Kanno though, not like that's a surprise.

The audition is for men under 25
On gabrielarobin.com, it is written “up to 21 and a half years old.” And it seems to be the same on the original page.
