Aspiring singers in Japan now have the chance to showcase their talent, as the expanded Filipino singing competition Tanghalan ng Kampeon has officially opened its doors to contestants.
The talent competition segment of GMA Network’s variety show TiktoClock, hosted by Pokwang, Faith Da Silva, Jayson Gainza, and Kuya Kim Atienza, officially partnered with Star Studio Japan last December 2024 and has now opened the talent show to aspiring singers.
The Kapuso Network has given Star Studio Japan the opportunity to conduct online auditions and on-ground events to discover world-class singing talent across the country.
In its latest social media post on Facebook on January 12, 2025, Star Studio Japan announced that its competition is open to all nationalities in the Land of the Rising Sun, for individuals aged 16 to 50.

This is not the first time a Filipino TV show or segment has been franchised internationally or partnered with an international production company.
In 2012, Indonesia acquired the franchise of the Philippines’ longest-running noontime show, Eat Bulaga, and launched Eat Bulaga Indonesia. The show aired on SCTV from 2012 to 2014 and on ANTV from 2014 to 2016.
Myanmar followed suit in 2019 by acquiring the franchise to create its own version, Eat Bulaga Myanmar.
That same year, ABS-CBN’s noontime program It’s Showtime expanded by launching its first international franchise in Indonesia.
