B.P.RECORDS has announced the first artists for its B.P CHANNEL Fes. event.
Kiryu (己龍), Royz, CODOMO DRAGON (コドモドラゴン), and BabyKingdom, who have been active as YouTubers in addition to their band activity, have announced B.P CHANNEL Fes. (B.PチャンネルFes.) on November 7th at Makuhari MESSE EVENT HALL (幕張メッセイベントホール). But what is 「B.P CHANNEL Fes.」?
Those four bands, along with Zero[Hz] (零[Hz]), belong to the label B.P.RECORDS. That same label opened its updated-daily YouTube channel, B.P CHANNEL (B.Pチャンネル), on November 7th last year. All five bands participate and mix together, showing sides of themselves that cannot be seen on a stage.
So far, B.P CHANNEL has been very popular with its YouTuber collaborations, makeup tutorials, and so on. It has now exceeded 100,000 subscribers, and that number continues to grow.
That said, the B.P.RECORDS band members were unsure about B.P CHANNEL, and had repeated discussions with the staff about it. But they were asked to aide the channel in updating every day, and were promised that something big would happen in a year if that goal was accomplished.
That “something big” was finally revealed when the channel hit 100,000 subscribers: the B.P CHANNEL Fes. which will be held at Makuhari MESSE EVENT HALL on November 7th, one year after the channel was initially established.
The first part of the lineup for this fes[tival] has been announced, and will feature Kiryu (己龍), Royz, CODOMO DRAGON (コドモドラゴン), and BabyKingdom.
Four more announcements will be made regarding the artists that will appear at this festival. See below for the announcement schedule. By the way, notice that the term “artist” was used rather than “band;” it seems that B.P CHANNEL Fes. will extend beyond the normal VK/band form. Look forward to future announcements in that regard.
