Wow, they must be having the time of their lives! It really doubles my motivation.
This is co cool! I really would like to enter but I’m having trouble talking to my mom about it…
So I’m hoping you guys will do it next year. But I will try still to go to this years one.

Cant Wait To Send My Audition In!
I Wonder How It Feels To Be In Japan?
umm do they have blogs? I would love to learn more about their experiences
Thank you so much for sharing this sneak peek with us!
I was wondering, if we’re in Japan already when the Star Search auditions are happening, will we still be able to participate somehow (provided that everything else is the same, born and raised in the USA, etc.)? Like participate in an avex audition in Japan and have it count toward the Star Search competition?
Please send in your sign up application with your US information.
Thank you for replying!
Yes, I sent in my application with the US information, but if it is accepted, will I be able to participate in Japan?
For the audition, it says you can’t use a non-karaoke track, but is it ok to accompany myself on keyboard/guitar?
Thank you!
Yes you can absolutley accompany yourself on keyboard/guitar.
Good luck!
Great!:)
But I’m so disappointed b’cause y’know..
like all the guys here.. I wanna join too..
but unfortunately I still can’t because of the huge reason that I don’t live in US. ;..( so sad.. sigh
send it in to audition@avexstarsearch.com
Same here, I don’t live in US, I live in Canada.
I’ve already sent an application to that e-mail,
yet still got no reply…
Am I supposed to wait till the deadline (Oct 31st) ends?
Because if I am to go to Hawaii for the audition,
I would have to book an airplane ticket asap now…
Is this a school?, where is avex at? i really want to go to auditions, but im having a hard time with my mom on letting me go . . . lol
can we use a computer for a song if we dont own karaoke version of song?
Yes
It is an audition. The first step would be to apply, the last step would be to attend the avex artist academy in Japan.
Hi!
I was wondering if there’s gonna be another audition like this for next year??? And another question is I’m currently live in Minnesota and if you accepted my application so do I have to go to a near audition place??? Please have an audition near Minnesota like Wisconsin or Iowa because there’s many people want to sign up for this. However, when they think about the distance and budget, they began to see the impossibilities. Therefore, it would be helpful if you have an audition around the Midwest, Western, Eastern and etc. Thanks
Please send in your audition, the more from the Midwest we get the more likely to hold a future audition there.
This makes me wanna try so much harder, seeing that real people can actually win this! ^-^
since the audition was extended, i sent in a video that i liked better than the other one. I didn’t know what to do, so I just sent it in with another email. will i be penalized for that?
Hello, I am half Japanese and half American and I grew up in the United States until I was 19 but I live in Tokyo with my mother now. I am currently going to college in the U.S. but I go back to Tokyo every couple months and I will finish college in March and move to Tokyo permanently. I have always wanted to be a singer in Japan and be an artist under Avex, my favorite artist are Tohoshinki/TVXQ, Boa, and Ayumi Hamasaki. I understand mostly all Japanese but I have trouble speaking fluently, can I still audition?
I already belong to an agency, can I still attend the audition?
