[Qualifier 1. Block 10 B] OTONOVA2023 - Dueling singer-guitarists

As someone for whom life would be empty without music, I'm very excited about the Otonova2023 event and I'm looking at all the performers taking part.

The qualification of this group was very interesting, as we were able to witness the confrontation between participants representing a variety of musical genres and with different artistic achievements.

This block's qualifiers included a Coro 24-year-old from Osaka Prefecture who is a singer with a guitar and whose dream is to be able to join a band again. On his Tik-Tok account (@omusub_cororin), we can find numerous rearranged versions of well-known songs by bands such as Uverworld, Bump of Chicken and Alexandros, among others. His forte is combining singing with simultaneous guitar playing. I wish Coro to continue in the direction of fulfilling his dreams.

We could also meet ラブバラッドを歌わせて a young woman living in Shizuoka Prefecture who wishes to sing love ballads. She writes the lyrics herself and composes the music for them. She can also play the acoustic guitar. She often visits concerts where she performs original songs.

We could also meet Tsukada Koji, a sensitive young man with an interesting voice colour, who harmoniously combines singing with simultaneous acoustic guitar playing. On his Tik-Tok account (@tsukada502) and Youtube channel, we can get to know numerous covers of songs by bands such as Bump of Chicken, Vaudy or Saucy Dog. On Youtube, recordings of his performances on the street or in the concert house are available. I am very curious to see what Tsukada will show us in the second round of qualification. I also congratulate him on his promotion.

We also got to know Daichi-san, who quickly won people over and I was surprised at first by the huge number of his followers. Daichi-san is very active on Ti-Tok (@daichi_taisa), where he publishes material like original songs, covers and life stories on a daily basis. We can observe that, apart from music, he is also very fond of cooking. His Tik-Tok is followed by more than 85,000 people. He also hosts a live Tik-Tok every day from 9pm onwards, with the aim of making people laugh. He is a retired musician wishing to perform at Budokan. 
I am very curious to see how his future in the Otonova2023 competition will turn out.
