【予選1st 第17ブロックB】OTONOVA2023 - Participation Report (the power of the personalities)

I am very happy that Mudia exists and supports artists of all kinds. I am glad that events such as Otonova2023 are organised, which I am participating in for the first time.

As someone for whom life would be empty without music, I am even more excited about the Otonova2023 event and looking forward to all the performers taking part.

The course of the first qualification of this block 17B was very interesting and exciting, as we were able to witness the confrontation of participants representing different musical genres and artistic achievements. It was also noticeable that the criteria for choosing to support a particular performer varied widely: admiration for their work, familiarity with a particular performer, following the majority of people.

Congratulations to all the performers taking part in Otonova2023 for their excellent participation! It was a really exciting duel, which in this group resulted in the following outcome:

1. Timeri

Congratulations to the Timeri for winning first place 🥇 with 7881 points in this first qualifying group and advancing to the next stage. Please continue to give your best  in the future💪 .

I am very happy that a person as sensitive and with a beautiful soul as Timeri was took part in the event. Music is how emotions sound, and the MV わんにゃんず captivated me completely. These verses:

"ペットとはいえ、大切な家族ですよね。

そんな思いを込めて、我が家の子たちを思い浮かべながら曲を作りました。

色んな動物好きの皆様に聴いていただけたらなと思っております♬

ほっこりした気持ちになってくださると嬉しいです♬"

One would say they are so simple, but they go so straight to the heart. Timeri's channel (@tokieri0228) on Youtube as well as the Tik-Tok account (@tokine_erina) send us into a beautiful world created by Timeri that resonates with the heart and also affects the senses. I look forward to hearing more from Timeri in the near future. Congratulations to Timeri for also winning the Making The Road final and fingers crossed for success in the Otonova2023 competition.

2. Homare

In second place with 690 points was the Homare 🥈. Congratulations on advancing to the next stage! Please continue to give it your all in the future 💪 . 

Homare is a singer and songwriter whose desire is to write songs marked by different feelings and that will resonate with people's hearts.

The band name 'Old fashion-park' comes from the word 'park = amusement park' and is based on the desire to deliver music that makes people smile and cheer up when they listen to the songs. On their Youtube channel (@oldfashion-park4058), we get to see three MVs for their original songs.

Everyone in this group proved to be very strong and intriguing, from which it was difficult to choose two performers who . I'm rooting for the winners the Timeri and the Homare and I can't wait to see how they will fare in the Otonova2023 competition.
