Monthly Singing Contest '#TheOnePhrase' by ColorSing

ColorSing Corporation, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, led by CEO Takuji Imai and Chairman Junmin Shibata, has announced a new initiative for music enthusiasts: a monthly singing contest titled '#TheOnePhrase'. This event aims to bring together aspiring singers by showcasing their talent through a simple yet engaging format.

The contest invites participants to submit recordings of themselves singing a specific phrase from a song. For the month of November, the song selected is 'IRIS OUT' by popular artist Kenshi Yonezu. Entrants can submit their singing performances until November 20, 2025, through the ColorSing app, which is currently available for iOS users. Encouraging participation from both seasoned performers and those new to singing, the contest opens its doors wide to anyone who loves to sing.

What is '#TheOnePhrase'?

'#TheOnePhrase' operates as a user-submitted singing contest where participants compete based solely on a single, standout phrase from the song's chorus. This unique format means that all participant names and visuals remain anonymous, focusing the judgment solely on the quality of their vocal performances. It has garnered considerable popularity due to its emphasis on direct voice appeal without distracting factors. Voting is accessible via the ColorSing app for both iOS and Android users, enabling fans to easily support their favorite singers daily.

The previous contest held in October 2025 saw an impressive turnout, with 3,283 submissions and 11,536 voters casting a whopping 1.16 million total votes. The contest successfully attracted a diverse demographic, boasting an almost equal male-to-female ratio among participants and voters.

Given the positive reception, ColorSing plans to implement '#TheOnePhrase' on a monthly basis. The current competition, '#TheOnePhrase IRIS OUT Cup', runs throughout November, with participants creating renditions of Yonezu's notable work.
