Call for Student Performers – ICC Talent Show 2026 !
ICC Talent Show – A Stage where your “Passion” shines –
ICC Talent Show is a Waseda-style talent show where students take the spotlight.
In this event, you can casually share what you love and what you are good at in front of the audience.
We believe that each person’s individuality is a form of “culture.” Through this event, we hope to create a respectful and welcoming environment where diverse forms of expression can be enjoyed and shared together.
There are no restrictions on the type of performance. Singing and dancing are welcome, of course, but so are cultural presentations, impressions, tongue twisters, fun facts, and more. This is a stage where you can express yourself just the way you are!
There is no judging or ranking. One of the event’s charms is its warm atmosphere, where everyone enjoys each other’s performances and naturally shares the excitement. Watching is fun—but standing on stage and feeling the applause and reactions firsthand is an unforgettable experience!!
We are now looking for student performers to take the stage.
Why not step up and energize the audience with your performance?
Guest Performances
Guest circles/clubs will also perform at the event.
Further details will be announced soon—please stay tuned!
