Music Planet and Spoon Collaborate for Exciting Vocal Festival

In an exciting development for aspiring singers, Music Planet, operated by Apra Co., Ltd. in Shibuya, Tokyo, has partnered with the audio distribution app Spoon to host the "One Voice, One Step - Spoon Vocal Festival." This innovative event aims to provide support for singers chasing their dreams through participation, with numerous rewards up for grabs for winners.

Overview of the Festival

The festival is designed as an engaging platform for singers to showcase their talent via the Spoon app. Participants will sing the assigned song "One Voice, One Step" and upload their recordings using the hashtag #OneVoiceOneStep. This simple posting method encourages wide participation, as each uploaded 'CAST' recording will also serve as entry material for auditions conducted by Music Planet itself.

With the desire to keep listeners engaged, a listener judgment system will be incorporated. Evaluation criteria include the total number of plays, hearts, comments, and Spoon metrics, adding an interactive aspect to the festival.
