PS COMPANY Announces Auditions to Form Rock Idol Groups!
During the era when the Visual Kei scene took the music industry by storm, countless artists rose from small live music clubs to national tours and, ultimately, the stage of the Nippon Budokan.
Now, PS COMPANY—the music production agency that supported that golden age of Visual Kei and launched the careers of popular acts like ViViD, SuG, and Alice Nine—has announced a new entertainment project: auditions to form both male and female rock idol groups.
This project seeks next-generation performers from across the country who possess a “rock spirit” and refuse to be bound by conventional idol stereotypes.
We are looking for more than just singing or dancing skills.
“I refuse to let my life end as just another boring routine.”
“I want to change my life.”
“I want to be someone who moves people’s hearts.”
We are seeking young people driven by such powerful aspirations.
Successful candidates will aim for their debut while receiving professional training and production guidance based on the artist-development expertise PS COMPANY has cultivated over the years.
This project launches with the goal of creating a new form of entertainment that fuses the raw energy of live music club culture with the approachable, relatable nature of idol culture.
The path to becoming a rock star—a dream once cherished by so many young people—is now being reimagined for the Reiwa era.
Simultaneous Launch of Two Groups (Male & Female)—Each Crafting a New Story
This initiative involves the simultaneous development of two projects: a female rock idol group and a male rock idol group.
The female group will blend the intensity and emotional expression of the rock scene with the approachability and “growth story” narrative typical of idol culture.
The goal is to create a new-era female artist collective that rises from live music clubs to major stages.
Meanwhile, the male group will inherit the DNA of the rock and Visual Kei scenes that PS COMPANY has cultivated for years, while creating a new archetype of the male idol for the Reiwa era.
Armed with overwhelming live performance capabilities and expressive power, they aim to become a group that deeply moves the hearts of audiences. Transcending the boundaries of gender and established genres, these initiatives will unfold as projects, each with its own unique worldview.
PS COMPANY – Project Message
It all began with a dream born in small live music venues.
That dream spread across the country and eventually reached the stage of the Budokan.
Times have changed, yet the passion that stirs the soul remains constant.
You refuse to let your life end in the monotony of the everyday. You want to change your life. You want to be a source of hope for others.
We are waiting for you—someone who holds these very aspirations.
You might just be the one to shape the next era.
