How does it work?

On the program, anime songs sound samples will be uploaded through YouTube and YouTube Shorts. The viewer can use these samples as their karaoke sound source to sing anime songs. Content uploaded with the hashtag ‘#ANIMESONGSPARTY’ will be re-shared on the program. Furthermore, the hosts Yohei Onishi and Singing Cosplayer Hikari will join the listener’s sessions and listen to the cover songs which were created on the program.
