After Recording
“I didn’t expect to sing in such a big recording studio so that it was so fun. Camera was recording me all the time and it made me tensed but happy. My dream is to become a singer. I am an university student now so I will study and practice hard to get closer to my dream.”

- Acceptance Speech
- I submitted a video of me singing Shiosai-no-Memory filmed when I was nearing the end of my seventeenth year with the help of my boyfriend, and I was so surprised I didn’t know what to do when I received notification of it passing the screening test just when I was beginning to forget all about it, so I am delighted that it then went on to win the Grand Prix. Thank you very much.

- Acceptance Speech
- I don’t get many opportunities to sing in front of people, and there are very few chances to enter auditions with the use of music video recorders, so this encouraged me to enter. Being in a position where so many people get to see my work is a very valuable experience for me. I didn’t expect to win an award, so this has come as a complete surprise. Thank you very much.
