AWA STAGE Vol. 64: A Nexus of Virtual and Electronic Music

AWA STAGE is more than just a concert; it’s a dynamic platform designed to bridge artists and audiences in an interactive online space. The “AWA Lounge” allows listeners to engage directly with performers, making it a truly immersive experience. This 64th session continues the tradition of showcasing diverse and captivating talent, offering a window into the innovative spirit of the modern music scene.

Featured Artists: Vtubers and Global Electronic Talent Take the Stage

The upcoming episode boasts an exciting lineup of three distinct artists, each bringing their unique flair to the virtual stage.

Akechi Mitsuki: Unifying the Virtual Realm

First up is Akechi Mitsuki, a captivating Sengoku warlord Vtuber affiliated with “Unify!” Known for her ambition to “unify the V world,” Akechi Mitsuki embodies a blend of historical gravitas and modern virtual entertainment. Her presence promises a performance that is both commanding and enchanting, drawing listeners into her unique digital domain.

Miko Tenri: From Virtual Debut to Real-World Stages

Miko Tenri, who debuted in April 2023, has rapidly risen to prominence. Her cover of Ado’s “New Genesis” (from ONE PIECE FILM RED) garnered over 230,000 views on YouTube, while her rendition of DECO27’s “Mousou Kanshou Daishou Renmei” has surpassed 830,000 views. In winter 2023, she lent her voice to “Chou Shinsei Shoujo,” the theme song for the Nintendo Switch game Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun!, which was featured in national TV commercials. Miko Tenri is also celebrated for her groundbreaking 3D live performances, including two successful outdoor street lives in Akihabara in December 2023 and April 2024—a rare feat for a Vtuber. Her national street live tour has taken her across Japan, from Hokkaido to Fukuoka. By August 2025, she reached 100,000 YouTube subscribers, culminating in a sold-out first solo concert, “New Town,” at Daikanyama Space Odd on August 30, supporting her debut album, Ashita to Kimi to Sora*. Her journey exemplifies how virtual idols are breaking through the digital screen to connect with fans in tangible, heartfelt ways.

Zekk: Crafting Sentimental Electronic Soundscapes

Hailing from South Korea, Zekk, born July 31, 1997, is an artist renowned for his dance and electronic music, characterized by sentimental and lyrical melodies. His tracks, often released on SoundCloud and various streaming platforms, capture intricate emotional shifts and internal conflicts. His 2019 release, “Gloomy Flash,” stands out as a representative work, showcasing his ability to blend intricate electronic textures with profound emotional depth. Zekk’s participation highlights the global reach and diverse sonic palette of AWA STAGE.

The Hosts Guiding the Journey

Guiding listeners through this musical journey are a trio of experienced MCs. TAKUYA the bringer, an official AWA internet-origin curator and advisor for Akihabara ENTAS (an event space hosting over 100 Vtubers annually), also commands the decks as a DJ both domestically and internationally. He is joined by Shikibu Meguri, a virtual singer known for her electronic music, and Moriyama d’Or, a distinguished writer and editor. Their combined expertise ensures insightful commentary and lively discussion, creating an engaging atmosphere for all.
