The competition takes place throughout the year, consisting of multiple stages, including BCJ PRE, Area Prelims, WILDCARD, and the Main Battle. The prelim reaches its climax in the Main Battle, where the champion is ultimately crowned.
Until now, the event has been held exclusively in the SOLO category, but starting in 2025, it will expand to include two additional categories: Tag-Team and Loopstation, the latter being supported by BOSS. With this expansion, the 2025 BEATCITY JAPAN Main Battle will host fierce prelim-style battles across three divisions, where competitors will showcase their skills in hopes of securing victory. The winners of each category will earn a spot at GBB25. Furthermore, from 2025 onward, the competition will open its doors to international participants, allowing beatboxers from around the world to enter alongside Japanese contestants. As a result, BEATCITY JAPAN is evolving from a national event into a truly global stage, where top talent from different countries can come together to compete and connect. With this expansion, BEATCITY JAPAN aims to foster international exchange and push the boundaries of beatbox battles, contributing to the growth of the global beatbox scene. As the event continues to evolve, it will provide an even greater platform for talented beatboxers to shine and take their skills to the next level.
