Japanese ticketing giant ePlus has announced the launch of FAVOY, a new project dedicated to online music culture, alongside an upcoming live event featuring some of the scene’s most notable artists.
Over the past decade, online music has evolved into a dominant force in the mainstream, with viral hits shaping global music trends. However, the landscape remains diverse, with Vocaloid producers, cover singers, Vtubers, and various digital artists each contributing their own distinct styles. Recognizing this, FAVOY aims to create unique live experiences by bringing together artists who have never shared a stage before, using ePlus’ extensive ticketing data to curate unprecedented collaborations.
The name FAVOY combines “Fave,” a term widely used in international youth culture to express admiration for favorite artists, a slang term popularized on Japanese social media in the 2010s meaning “to like” or “favorite” a post. The project seeks to offer fans a chance to experience their favorite artists beyond the digital space while discovering new talent in a live setting.
First Event: ‘eplus presents FAVOY TOKYO
As its debut event, FAVOY will present ‘eplus presents FAVOY TOKYO,’ a two-day live concert at Zepp Shinjuku in Tokyo on August 7 (Thursday) and August 8 (Friday). Each night will feature a unique lineup of three artists:
- August 7 Lineup:
- Sou – A vocalist with over 1.68 million YouTube subscribers, known for his emotional and powerful performances.
- Chogakusei – A singer who began posting “Utattemita” (cover song) videos in elementary school and made his major debut in 2022.
- Kankan – A rising star recognized for their androgynous voice, high-quality video production, and collaborations with artists like Ayase (YOASOBI).
- August 8 Lineup:
- DAZBEE – A South Korean vocalist known for her impressive Japanese-language singing, set to perform in Japan for a rare appearance.
- Suiso – A singer and trackmaker whose songs have amassed over 100 million total streams.

To commemorate the event, illustrator Jia Hagimori has created an exclusive key visual, capturing the essence of FAVOY’s fusion of online and live music culture.
