The hunt is on for the next international superstar!
Now join the hosts of UTA SUTA, The Search for the Next Shining Star, where legendary songwriters join with record producers to find their next breakout singer and hit song! However what sets UTA SUTA apart is the emphasis on the importance of partnership and positive work, UTA SUTA gives contestants the chance of a lifetime - to sing in front of a famous group of respected songwriters, all ready to work with them on their next big hit!

UTA SUTA is an entertaining musical experience that has double the competition, with a very unique twist. Each contestant performs on a spinning turntable for only 30 seconds in front of the judges - all successful songwriters with countless hits to their credit. Now here is the really cool angle: If the singer shines bright enough to win the "Let's Work Together" card, the songwriter will work with the contestant to produce a song he or she has written. Yep, the judge now becomes a partner to the contestant. From there, they will both advance to the second round, where they present their collaboration to a group of renowned record label executives and producers for a chance to win their very own recording contract.

UTA SUTA has seen overwhelming success in Japan, with more than 260 episodes aired.

Don't miss the opportunity to get on board with this truly unique and original concept!
