The stage of TiktoClock’s Tanghalan ng Kampeon is getting bigger and wider, as it is now available internationally, following the contract signing between GMA Network and Star Studio Japan held yesterday, December 18, at the GMA Network Center in Quezon City.

Present during the signing were GMA Vice President for Musical Variety, Specials, and Alternative Productions for Entertainment Group Gigi Santiago-Lara, Star Studio Japan Director and CEO Elizabeth Gushi, and TiktoClock Senior Program Manager Charles Anthony Koo.

Joining them in the event were TiktoClock hosts Faith Da Silva, Jayson Gainza, and Kuya Kim Atienza.

Through the said contract, GMA allows Star Studio Japan to hold online auditions and on-ground events to discover world-class singing talents in various parts of Japan.

The Kapuso Network welcomes this momentous partnership to showcase outstanding performances of Filipinos and even other nationalities in Japan. According to Santiago-Lara, “Thank you for trusting Tanghalan ng Kampeon na magdala ng saya sa mga kababayan natin sa Japan at kahit mga hindi Pilipino, pwede nating maengganyo na makilahok sa Tanghalan ng Kampeon Japan.”

She also shares that GMA and Star Studio Japan are already considering to bring special guests in their competition, “Our new season on GMA is starting on January, and sila rin sa Japan nagsisimula nang maghanap ng contestants para sa on-ground events nila. Sa grand finals naman ng Japan leg, pwedeng may taga-TiktoClock na maging parte ng judging ng kanilang kampeon.”

In return, Gushi expresses her gratitude to the Kapuso Network, “Gusto kong magpasalamat sa GMA sa ibinigay nilang tiwala sa Star Studio Japan para sa first-ever international franchise ng Tanghalan ng Kampeon sa Nagoya, Japan. Inaasahan ko na magiging successful ito sa mga darating pang panahon.” 

As part of the agreement, the National Winner of Tanghalan ng Kampeon in Japan will participate in the Grand Finals of Tanghalan Ng Kampeon in TiktoClock and compete against the other Grand Finalists in the Philippines.  Gushi then guarantees, “Kung sino man ang maging grand winner sa Japan, all expenses paid ang kanyang pagpunta sa Pilipinas para mag-compete sa Tanghalan ng Kampeon dito.”
