Legendary Omnibus 'natural woman' Returns in 2026! Auditions Open for Final Spot Judged by 7 Female Singer-Songwriters

Cap Stone Entertainment, a company operating music labels, sound production, and recording studios, began a public call for entries on May 22, 2026, for its compilation album 'natural woman Vol.5', which focuses on female singer-songwriters.

This legendary project, which began in 1998 and has produced numerous talents, is making a full-scale comeback. Seven emerging female singer-songwriters who have already been confirmed for the album will serve as judges to select the final spot for an artist to stand on stage with them as a 'colleague.' The successful candidate will receive professional arrangement and studio production at the top-tier 'CSE Recording Studio' and total support for a nationwide release in October 2026.

Background of the Project In an era where personal music production and distribution have become easier, the fundamental worries of artists—such as having melodies and lyrics but being unable to form them into a satisfactory shape, or not finding a place to truly deliver their music—remain unchanged. 'natural woman Vol.5' was launched to bring out the talent of these diamonds in the rough by 120% using professional technology. The recording studio 'CSE Recording Studio,' known for its overwhelming quality in the Kansai region, will provide full backup. Furthermore, three arrangers who have worked on numerous hit songs—Kenta Kaiyo (from Sumloose), Takeo Hirose, and Arata Yamamoto—will participate to guarantee major-label-level sound quality.

Final Selection by Active Artists The biggest feature of this audition is that the final selection will be conducted by seven active female singer-songwriters already set for the album: Yuka Kitahara, Honoka Kitta, Hanjuku BLOOD, Risa Hirano, Rina Yamashita, Hana Yuika, and Yurika. It is a new form of selection project where artists choose their own 'colleagues' who run in the same era and stand on the same stage.
