Greetings from Platinum Happy!
If you’ve kept up with our activities over the past few days, you’ll know that we released a video on many of our social media platforms to let you know that an announcement would be coming on November 1. Now that the day has arrived, we’re thrilled to reveal the news!
Auditions have officially been opened for our third generation!
Platinum Happy debuted with our first generation in 2014 and held an audition for our second generation in 2015. As we wrap up 2017 and celebrate our third anniversary, we made the decision to open up auditions so that we can welcome new members into the group! With nearly three years under our belt, we’re looking for new members who can bring their talents, interests, and passions to Platinum Happy and who can join us as we renew our focus and chart a course toward new heights.
If you enjoy singing, dancing, expressing yourself creatively, have an affinity for idols, or have wanted to become a net idol, we definitely encourage you to submit an application!
Auditions are now open (as of November 1) and will close at 11:59 PM PST on Sunday, December 3.
To audition, please complete this application (via Google Forms). As a part of your application, be sure to include at least ONE audition song and your profile photo (additional details about how to submit these pieces are given on the audition application). Please read our guidelines below for further information regarding your audition song(s) and submitted photo.
Audition Song(s): You may submit as many songs as you would like us to consider for your audition, and at least one song you submit MUST be in Japanese, as the majority of our releases are in Japanese. If you are submitting multiple songs for consideration, you are allowed to submit songs in other languages— as long as one is in Japanese. If you are submitting just one song, it must be in Japanese.
Profile Photo: Because we plan on announcing our new members during our third anniversary livestream in December, we will need all applicants to submit photos ahead of time so that we can properly prepare our announcements. The photo you submit WILL be used as your profile photo if you are accepted, so please submit a clear photo that features ONLY you, preferably against a background that is free of clutter (look at our current profile photos to get a sense of what this may look like). Please wear either silver, white, black, or other neutral colors in your photo.
We will email you a confirmation that we’ve received your audition once we get it, so if it has been some time since you have submitted your application and have not received a confirmation, please contact us or try to re-submit your application. If you have supplemental materials to submit with your application (such as video messages regarding your audition, dancing videos, or anything else that you would like us to consider while we are making our decisions), we are happy to review them along with your audition form. However, supplemental materials (outside of at least one audition song and your profile photo) are not required.
Important Notes: For legality/terms of use reasons, we ask that you please do not audition if you are under the age of 13. Because our group is so centered around our individual members and their personalities, if you are currently a member of another net idol group, we also ask that you do not audition. If you are a member of any cover groups/choruses/dance groups/etc., that is perfectly fine, and you are very welcome to audition (and, in fact, please let us know if you’ve had previous karaoke/cover group experience in your audition form)!
If you have ANY questions or comments about the audition process or the group, we are more than happy to answer! Feel free to email us your questions at [email protected] or send us an ask here on our Tumblr/message us on any of our social media platforms at any time throughout the audition process. We are tagging any audition-related questions and answers on our Tumblr here, so feel free to browse through questions others asked during previous auditions, as well.
Best of luck to all auditionees from all of us here at Platinum Happy! We are so excited to hear from you and look forward to this process of selecting our next generation of net idols!
