(Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Jean Honfui; URL: https://jp.17.live/), operator of Japan's largest live-streaming app "17LIVE (Ichi-Nana)", announces the launch of an audition event titled "BOB2026 (Beppu Onsen Bukkake Festival) Performance Audition" to select performers for Japan's largest splash festival "BOB2026 (Beppu Onsen Bukkake Festival)" held in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture. The event will begin on June 29, 2026 (Mon). "17LIVE" regularly hosts various collaboration projects and events to encourage both active streamers ("Ichi-Nana Raisers") and those who have never streamed before to enjoy live broadcasting. "BOB (Beppu Onsen Bukkake Festival)" is a unique music festival launched in 2023 under the production of entrepreneur Takafumi Horie. Held at Beppu Spa Beach, it features the spectacular release of approximately 1,000 tons of hot spring water drawn from Beppu's hot springs—an unprecedented concept in music festivals. This year's "BOB2026", the third edition, will feature a stellar lineup of popular artists and performers beloved across generations and active in diverse fields. Through this first-ever collaboration with "BOB (Beppu Onsen Bukkake Festival)", we aim to create an opportunity for aspiring talents hoping to succeed in the music and entertainment industries. An audition event will be held to offer selected eligible Ichi-Nana Raisers the chance to perform as opening acts on the main stage or on the sub-stage alongside renowned artists. The "BOB2026 (Beppu Onsen Bukkake Festival) Performance Audition" is open to all Ichi-Nana Raisers active on "17LIVE". A total of six selected Raisers—chosen through an in-app event starting today followed by an audition—will perform on the main and sub-stages. Even those not selected through the audition but ranking in the top 10 during the in-app event will have the opportunity to appear in outdoor advertisements at major train stations in Tokyo. Please stay tuned for this exciting audition event, which
