(headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Akimi Tokigaki), operator of the subscription-based music streaming service 'AWA', will host the online event 'International Singing Battle Vol.2' on Friday, July 10, 2026, featuring VSingers and vocalists from Japan and Taiwan. Qualifying events were held in May and June in both countries to determine participants for 'International Singing Battle Vol.2', and the winners have now been announced. The performance order for the event has also been revealed.

'International Singing Battle Vol.2' will take place in 'AWA Lounge', a free online space provided by AWA that anyone can join. Popular VSingers and vocalists from Japan and Taiwan will form two teams and compete against each other. The winning team will be determined through real-time audience support via flower chats and flower stamps, as well as voting during the event. The winning team will receive promotional rights in both Japan and Taiwan, including outdoor advertising, special playlist features, and banner placements. Additionally, listeners who support performers with flower chats and flower stamps will have the chance to win exclusive prizes such as limited-edition voice messages and acrylic stands—available only through this event.

Today, the six winners from the qualification events held in Japan and Taiwan have been confirmed, finalizing the two competing teams. The performance order for the event has also been announced.
