Presentation

“Music is best live!” 

In partnership with Japan Expo, TENKUI company, which manages live houses in Japan, has launched two years ago a J-rock talent show: JAPAN EXPO ROCKs! The contest is back this year for the third time to unveil the new generation of J-rock artists while helping them start their career! From January 6 to April 21, solo artists and groups will be performing in live houses in Tokyo. The winner performs live on the Karasu stage at Japan Expo!

The contest follows several stages, from the first selections to the finals, which crowns the winner. During the first two stages, the audience votes to choose the groups who will follow the adventure. And from the quarter finals, a professional jury takes on and selects the candidates who will go to the semi-finals, and in the end, the winner.

The great winner of the second edition, Emi ARISAKA, set fire to the Karasu stage last year at the 19th Impact. Her successerrs has been unveiled: congrats to the group VM5, winner of JAPAN EXPO ROCKs 2019 finals!
