Real Akiba Co., Ltd. and Dwango Co., Ltd. organized the ‘Utaodo Dai-Taiban CHALLENGE STAGE’ audition live event to discover new talent within the ‘utaite’ (singing) and ‘odotte-mita’ (dancing) communities.

Announced as a collaboration to bridge digital content and live entertainment, the event took place on September 22, 2026, at ANTHEM AKIBA. Sixteen groups competed in 10-minute performances before a panel of creators.

Following the auditions, ‘Hachapare’ and ‘Gondwana Maon Tairiku’ were named the top performers in the singing category, while ‘【Nightmare】’ and ‘Shinkansha’ secured the top spots in the dancing category. These winners earned the opportunity to perform at the ‘Kayo Dai Taiban 2026’ concert on December 5, 2026.
