The Japanese Song Cover Contest RizuME

At RizuME, contestants are encouraged not only to perform their favorite pieces but also to convey emotions, stories, and their authentic “ME” spirit in every performance. The contest serves as a gateway for young enthusiasts to experience the richness of Japanese music – a harmonious blend of tradition, modernity, and artistic diversity.

Throughout the stages-from registration, preliminary judging, to the online voting round-participants showcased their vocal abilities, performance style, and creative expression. The most outstanding entries will be selected for the final announcement and honored at the award ceremony in early December.

The Organizing Committee extends heartfelt gratitude to all contestants for their enthusiastic participation and to the broader community for its continued support. We hope that through RizuME, each young performer will discover their own “rhythm,” confidence, and passion as they continue to celebrate and share their love for Japanese culture.
