A training project for a boy group aiming for a major debut, developed by BUZZ GROUP.

Since applications opened in February 2026, a cumulative total of 4,071 individuals have applied. Members selected through document screening, web interviews, and practical auditions are working daily towards their major debut through lessons focused on vocals and dance, and monthly selections (auditions).

Features of PROJECT B

Growth Visualized Through Monthly Selections (Auditions)

PROJECT B conducts monthly selections (auditions) to measure member growth. Focusing on vocals and dance, each member's progress, expressiveness, and suitability as an artist are comprehensively evaluated and reflected in class divisions and future training plans.

Practical Lessons and Training Program with Debut in Mind

In addition to improving fundamental skills required for artist activities such as vocals, dance, rap, and body makeup, PROJECT B incorporates practical experiences that are usually gained after debut, such as hair and makeup, still photography, recording, and live performance observation.

The aim is to nurture artists who can immediately contribute in the field after their debut, not just by honing vocal and dance techniques, but also through learning on set, expression during recording, and insights gained at live venues.

Future Training Programs to Enhance Group Expressiveness

What is required of an artist is not just vocal and dance skills. In the future, PROJECT B plans to introduce group work in addition to vocals and dance to foster a sense of unity as a group, relationships among members, and the chemistry that emerges on stage.

Through tackling challenges in groups and exchanging opinions to create a single performance, the aim is to enhance not only individual skills but also group expressiveness.

Support System with Facilities Exceeding 90 Nationwide and Financial/Environmental Support

In addition to a training environment utilizing BUZZ GROUP facilities, which include over 90 locations nationwide and 388 rooms, dormitories are available for those who wish to challenge from outside the region. A salary compensation system for members who meet certain conditions and priority appearances in terrestrial auditions are provided, creating a system that allows them to seriously pursue their dreams while alleviating financial and environmental concerns.

【A New Training Environment to Aim for the World from Japan】

In recent years, with the growing global presence of Asian music scenes, including K-POP, there has been an increase in young Japanese talent challenging overseas trainee systems.

However, even when challenging overseas trainee systems, only a limited number of individuals ultimately reach debut. Many return to Japan after pursuing their high aspirations but failing to debut.

Considering this current situation, PROJECT B aims to create an environment where individuals can receive comprehensive training while remaining in Japan.

With vocals and dance as the core, growth is visualized through monthly selections (auditions). Furthermore, by incorporating fundamental lessons in vocals, dance, rap, and body makeup, along with practical opportunities such as hair and makeup, still photography, recording, and live performance observation, the goal is to nurture artists who can immediately contribute in the field after their debut.

Additionally, by providing a training environment, dormitories, a salary compensation system, and practical audition opportunities, an environment is offered where even challengers from outside the region or those with financial concerns can seriously aim for a major debut.

In the future, by incorporating training programs such as group work, the aim is to enhance not only individual skills but also group expressiveness and unity.

Learning from the systematic training strengths of the Korean trainee system, PROJECT B aims to create a place where next-generation artists can continue to challenge themselves in a way that suits the Japanese entertainment industry. The ultimate goal of PROJECT B's training is to nurture artists who will aim for the world from Japan.
