VAFBN has also released the official logo and graphics for the said edition and was met with enthusiasm with the upgrade of aesthetics in the selection. The 5th Edition of Aurelian Music Fest held in Shangri - La City, Yangdon Prefecture with the slogan, "Champions of our Destiny".







All of the 10 chosen acts to perform in this edition of AMS are new - comers in the competition and is expected to be a close fight due to how strong the songs were and notably known the acts are in the federation. Kadebostany is thought to do well due to their staging and pretty much most of the entry has the color black theme. Notably much of the songs are experimental and are indie just as the previous editions are, furthermore, pop and electronica are the other genres that appeared in this edition.

As the performers started performing its now very clear that this edition will be the highest amount of foreign juries participating and voting in Aurelian Music Fest and the votings are very tough competition. about 14 countries participated in the votings for AMS#05, Apparently the voting forms distributed for the juries are incorrect and VAFBN one by one asked every nations that participated in the votings to tell their 24 points as the voting forms didn't include the 24 points which affected the results and VAFBN formally apologized for all the inconvenience and chaos it created and still made sure for the integrity and transparency in the votings.

Now the votings are closed, its revealed that the winner of Aurelian Music Fest #05 is Ben Platt with his song "Rain" which was a surprise for the bookmakers, Markus Feehily gave to Ben Platt the trophy and officially, Ben Platt will be sent to Kanzen as the official representative of Aurelian Federation in the 25th Edition of Majestic Song Contest!



About 14 countries and 14 juries managed to vote in this edition of Aurelian Music Fest which is by far the largest amount of juries partaking in the voting history of Aurelian Music Fest and the said edition was viewed as a success not only to Aurelian Federation, but also overseas as it shows that a lot of nations are interested in the national selection. Ben Platt was able to score about 350 points which is the highest points accumulated in the contest's history due to its new voting system of 30-28-26-24-22-20-18-12-10 pts. Coming 2nd place is Verite with 332 points, only a meager 12 points difference from the winner and the 3rd place was secured by Noah Cyrus with 292 points, its noted that this edition has high gaps between points accumulated thus there are calls for revamp again of the voting system. It was announced afterwards that Tessa Violet, a participant of AMS#02 will be the official spokesperson of the country for this edition.

Due to Markus Feehily automatically qualifying last edition, Ben Platt will be automatically qualified and hopefully defend the country's spot in the Automatic Qualifiers spot or win the contest. Aurelian Federation has to vote in the 2nd semi - final and gave its 12 points to Hastwyn with Lorde and her song "Perfect Places". Lorde previously participated in AMS#02 and managed to get the 3rd place with the same song.

Ben Platt will be the 16th performer in the Grand Final and the performance was widely praised and given with positive remarks, as the announcement of results came it was revealed that Ben Platt managed to bag the 5th place with 143 points, meaning Aurelian Federation for the first time will back to back be an automatic qualifier for the next edition which delighted the nation and sent their congratulations to Hastwyn who won with Lorde who had connections to Aurelian Federation like Rina Sawayama did when she won. Ben Platt came home victorious and proud of his achievement.

Majestic Song Contest 25
After Ben Platt managed to achieve the 5th place securing the automatic qualification spot for the country, VAFBN announces its participation for the 25th edition of Majestic Song Contest in Hastwyn. At first VAFBN didn't released much details regarding the National Selection due to issues and discrepancies with the new rules regarding the national selections having only 5 participants starting this edition rather than having the usual 10 participants in the selection which proved to be shocking for VAFBN as they have prepared 10 participants that fits the theme of 25th edition of having songs from countries that the delegate came from which is the Philippines.



Nevertheless, VAFBN adjusted with the new rules but released the official logo of the broadcaster first, and a video regarding the details of the 6th Aurelian Music Fest but without who will join it, just only the location and the official logo of the said selection.

For Aurelian Music Fest #06, It will be held in Maharlika City, Marahuyo Prefecture with the slogan, "Mahiwagang Tinig". (Enchanted Voice). Much of the show was done in both the languages of English and Filipino in order to keep the theme alive and having a sense of national pride for their unique identity which is also identified and seen with the graphics and illustrations used for the edition, the aesthetic of this edition is highlighted with color blue and red tones resonating with the Filipino theme and representing of that ethnicity. There are 5 songs from 5 Singers and Bands that are eager to represent the federation in MSC 25 and this selection will follow the new 5 songs per selection and the theme of this edition of sending songs from our own country, notably this edition has 2 Filipino songs and 3 English songs. The figures who will be participating in this edition of Aurelian Music Fest are noted for their folk, alternative, indie and pop genres which is pretty different from the previous editions of Aurelian Music Fest. Ben&Ben will participate in this edition with a Filipino song, it is noted that they've participated with Republic of Malaya twice and qualified once, and didn't qualified once too and are now looking for prospects here in Aurelian Federation. Autotellic, Kiana V. and Intertwined are based locally whilst No Rome collaborated with a foreign indie alternative band called, The 1975 while Kiana V. who is the daughter of a popstar named Gary Valenciano collaborated with Billy Davis. Bookeepers claim Autotellic, Ben&Ben and Intertwined will do well. Unfortunately the edition didn't went by without a problem, Shanne Dandan was one of those supposedly in the original 10 line - up with a comeback from her same song back in AMS#03 but unfortunately she managed to get a spot in Kanta - kantahan in Calmyte and Becsulet and managed to win the said selection and VAFBN sends their congratulations and well - wishes for her and her participation with Calmyte and Becsulet.



There are approximately 9 juries from 9 different countries voting in this edition and are greeted with joy at the events stadium and since with less participants this edition, the voting system used before was scrapped and replaced with 30 - 28 - 25 - 23 - 20 points. The show was marvelously choreographed and Ben Platt performed "Rain", the previous winning song before the participants were set to perform their entries. afterwards, the 5 singers and bands performed their entries receiving good reception and even if this edition was considerably short due to the new rules, people enjoyed as it gave them room and budget to experiment on - stage ultimately giving the best performance ever done. As the results are all calculated, with 239 points, Intertwined with their song "Be Mine" won the selection and are officially Aurelian Federation's official representative for the themed 25th Edition of Majestic Song Contests in Hastwyn! Autotellic came second with 233 points with a meager 6 points difference while Ben&Ben managed to get the 3rd place with 232 points, just 1 point difference with the 2nd place. Unique Salonga, a previous participant of AMS#03 : Asian Pride is designated to be the official spokesperson of the nation.

Since Ben Platt managed to get the 5th place last edition, Intertwined will now have the privilege of auto - qualifying in the finals, Aurelian Federation will also vote in the 1st Semi - final.

Majestic Song Contest 26
Intertwined managed to place 11th in the last edition of Majestic Song Contest, VAFBN after a long deliberation agreed to continue the national selection, Aurelian Music Fest which is now on its 7th edition, due to the new rules set upon for the national finals, 5 participants are only allowed to participate in this edition and beyond, This edition of Aurelian Music Fest released details earlier than usual such as its slogan "Carpe Diem!" and the host city which is in Regalia City, Noctis Prefecture.



The selection of participants of this edition was quite easier due to the fact only 5 participants will be chosen and the fact that there is growing attention over the said selection therefore VAFBN received so many hopefuls in making a break through this selection. This time's selection was said to be the hardest due to hardship of being able to filter the sent entries and had to filter it in a short time but luckily they were able to sort it all out on time.



VAFBN revealed Hyphen Hyphen, Larkins, Jade Bird, Tom Grennan and Kimbra with Chris Tabron as the official participants of this edition, Tom Grennan is notable to many as the singer who managed to make Aurelian Federation's highest placing as of speaking, previously in Majestic Song Contest #21 by placing 3rd and winning the semi - final and this time he'll be participating with a much lighter song, other notable facts about the performers, most of the participants are into the indie genre which is prevalent in the Federation and reflected with the historical participants of the said contest. Larkins was noted for its synths and Jade Bird with her country - grunge like fusion in her entry. Jade Bird, Tom Grennan and Hyphen Hyphen were fairly high with the bookmakers and are fan favorites too.



With 10 nations and 10 juries voting in this edition, they are greeted warmly into the contest venue, with special performances by Intertwined with their previous song "Be Mine", when everyone managed to perform, the votings started and when its time to announce the winner of the 7th edition of Aurelian Music Fest it is noted that there is a huge gap between the winner and the runner - up.

The said winner was revealed to be Jade Bird with her song "Uh Huh" which managed to received all but 3 nation's 30 points and garnered 294 points and the runner - up was former AMS Champion, Tom Grennan with 255 points, after the announcement of the winner, the spokesperson of this edition was revealed to be Maggie Rogers who actually performed as a contestant previously on Aurelian Music Fest #04 with her song "Fallingwater", she performed her intermission number after the announcement of the winner with her song, "Light on" and gave an energetic performance by jumping out of stage and singing along with the audience.

Jade Bird was drawn to perform 16th in the First Semi - Final and the nation will also be voting in this semi - final. Jade Bird managed to qualify and won 1st place in this semi - final with 158 points, the 2nd time in the history of participation of the federation, the morale of the delegation team was very high as a result, as they are currently making history for the country and now they are off to the grand finals, its revealed that Jade Bird will perform first in the grand finals much to the shock of everyone, nobody knew if they'll be able to do well by the fact they are the first to perform as usually the ones who perform much later has a higher chance of doing well because of recall memory, but they were all wrong, once the announcement of the results were done, its revealed that Aurelian Federation got 153 points and placed 5th overall! meaning the country is back again in the realms of auto - qualification for the next edition, the 4th time the nation was in the big 5 and also the 2nd time the country got the 5th place. All in all, this edition managed to be historical for the country and the results are very favorable, Jade Bird managed to come home with great pride of joy of her crowning achievements.

Majestic Song Contest 27
After Jade Bird managing to place 5th last edition and securing an auto - qualification spot for the grand finals in MSC27, VAFBN decided to continue Aurelian Music Fest as its own national selection, although in its 8th edition, its decided that it'll be a themed edition, the theme was said to be Japanese, the songs should be at least partially in Japanese language and the contestants being of Japanese descent.



The national selection was held at dazzling Kitayama City, Aozora Prefecture. The slogan for this edition was done in Japanese entitled, "音楽の未来" (Ongaku no Mirai) or "Future of Music" in English. Its also noted that in this edition, much emphasis was given in improving the graphics and multimedia paraphernalia to be used in the duration of the edition to reflect the slogan of being futuristic and innovation, therefore the logo chosen was done with vaporwave and a traditional mask resembling a tiger being an ode to local theater culture of the said region.



5 Bands and Singers where chosen amongst the many that applied this edition, keeping in line with the theme, the songs were written and sang in Japanese, the genres of the selected participants were noted to be of rock origin which is common within their region. furthermore, despite the fact most of the song were in rock genre, others stand out that aren't rock or are further into the spectrum of being experimental, hardcore, alternative, pop rock or indie. The participants are Sakanaction, Perfume, Majiko, TK From Ling Tosite Sigure and Aimer.

Sakanaction is an alternative - rock band hailing from the host prefecture known for their sometimes 80s vibe and heavily synths songs like "Shin Takarajima". This time they are participating with their song entitled, "Tabun Kaze" noted for its heavy presence of synths in the song which is in line with the theme of futurism. Moving on with Perfume they sent an electro pop song called "Flash" with choreography that is synonymous to "Karate" moves, the song is also noted for its non - rock genre which is polar opposites to much of the entries sent this edition. Majiko will participate with her song called "Hibiwareta Sekai" known for its melancholic lyrics and heavy rock feels and her notable high pitched voice.



TK From Ling Tosite Sigure came from a band called Ling Tosite Sigure and is participating as a solo act in this edition with his song entitled, "Chou no Tobu Suisou" which was apparently used in a popular animated show as an opening song, now venturing and trying to make a mark here in Aurelian Music Fest, his song was also described as not metal yet heavy rock and also with fast bpm and tempo yet with a balance of orchestra being used in this song which is applauded by critics for his experimentalism. Finally the last artist to join them is Aimer, she apparently participated in a national selection of another participating nation in MSC before, although she didn't manage to win that selection, Aimer is known for her husky voice and the song she is performing entitled "Stand By You" was actually co - produced, written and also composed by fellow competitor, TK From Ling Tosite Sigure, the song is noted for its obvious arrangement that distinctively sound like an ordinary TK song. So far the bookmaker favorites are Aimer, Sakanaction and Perfume.

After the performance of all 5 participants, Yasutaka Nakata with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Charli XCX performed their song called "Crazy Crazy". Yasutaka Nakata apparently produces songs with Perfume and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, the entry of Perfume this edition is no exception and is also a Nakata composition, after their brief interval act, the results were announced. 9 juries and nations sent in their votes and decided who'll become the next representative of Aurelian Federation in MSC27. The winner is Aimer with her song "Stand By You"!

The song managed to accumulate around 240 points, with Sakanaction blazing 2nd with 235 points, only a 5 points difference between the runner - up and winner. Afterwards, it is also revealed that a former AMS participant, winner and representative of Aurelian federation will be the official spokesperson of the country, its apparently revealed to be Kenshi Yonezu who won AMS # 01 and managed to place 11th in MSC20 and participate in AMS again in the 3rd edition. He sang his most famous hit called "Lemon" onstage after the announcement, the performance was said to be anthemic and filled with sweet somber moments.

After the festivities, Aimer now heads to Kingdom of Athrium, she won't be performing in the semi - final all thanks to the amazing placing by Jade Bird in the previous edition of MSC, instead we'll be voting in all the semi - finals. after the semi - finals were done, it was revealed that Aimer will be performing 18th in the grand finals which is actually a great placing although sandwiched between strong songs. after everyone has performed, results has been released and it was revealed Aimer placed 28th with 45 points which is received with shocked and disbelief in the country, apparently the televotes didn't vote to her that much and did poorly with them, the scenario reminded them with what happened to Benjamin Kheng in the 22nd edition of MSC. Aimer returned still cheerfully and accepted back home with warmth for her efforts to represent the nation very well in the contest.

Majestic Song Contest 28
After Aimer's participation and the shocking results last edition, VAFBN convened and still confirmed, regardless of their standing last edition, Aurelian Music Fest will still push thru as their national selection for the representative of Aurelian Federation in Majestic Song Contest, it is also revealed that it will be a regular edition contrary to the themed one previously. The said edition would also feature much "bolder" songs and that the selection will go all in in exerting their efforts for finding the right songs worthy of attention.



The national selection will be held in futuristic Xperia City, Wyvern Prefecture, the said city is known for its cyberpunk skyline as the reason it being chosen and that it fits with the current slogan of "Pushing the Limits of Sound" as the city is known for its indie, vaporwave and electronic music scene. This edition will use different design, graphics and multimedia arts which should be representing the cities unique culture, hence the logo forms a bended feather figure symbolizing the intellectuality of Aurelians.



As always, 5 bands and artists were selected as participants in this edition, all of the songs are sang in English with wide varieties of genre and ethnicities. The genre of much of the songs are either in indie, garage rock, alternative hip hop, jazz and many more. The songs covers varied topics from cynicism to break - ups and being lost mentally and self - exploration. The revealed participants are Jake Bugg, Girl in Red, Giant Rooks, Celeste and Grandson.

Jake Bugg with his song "All I Need" is said to have blues and indie rock influences backed by a powerful choir vocals, the song is said to be a publicly viewed as a cynical point of view of the chaos going on. Girl in Red previously participated last edition of MSC with another participating country and is now trying her lucks currently in Aurelian Federation with her song "Rue" which is far more rock than indie, furthermore the song has a darker theme than her song in MSC. Celeste is no stranger to MSC, she's participated twice with Frotevina with songs "Stop this Flame" and "Strange" which are massive hits and did well in the contest. Little do people know, She's Frotevinian - Aurelian and is very well - received in both nations and if she wins, it'll be her last participation in MSC for the foreseeable future as she's participated 2 times already and artists are only allowed to participate 3 times before being banned in the contest in an impermanent fixed time, currently she's trying here in Aurelian Federation with her song "Little Runaway" which is a jazz and soul song accompanied with orchestra which is more conservative than other songs participating.
