Earlier this week, at the Namušun Media Forum, the Creative Director of the Bianjie Broadcasting Corporation, or the BHK, Xiao Sailgi, spoke at length about the broadcaster's plans to host the upcoming Festival of Music Arts in Terra (FOMAT) once again in the nation's second-largest city, Niyalma.

Previously, a Bianjian band from Niyalma, Kongxiang, has won the 41st edition of the Festival, hosted in the capital city of the North Seleyan country of Valruzia. The trio came out on top of the list of participants, with the biggest landslide in recent history, finishing victorious with 95 points, with the runner-up, Dundorf, receiving 68 points. "We felt happy, excited and proud, there were too many emotions at once", the band's drummer said in an interview for Shunkashūtō. Thus, following Kongxiang's victory, Bianjie became the next host of the FOMAT, with BHK announcing that Niyalma would once again host the festival, this time after Bianjie's victory in the contest.

A couple of months later, the BHK came out with an announcement, presenting the design of the 42nd edition of the Festival of Music Arts in Terra: white text on a bright red background, with the sound wave becoming a symbol of the edition, dubbed by a slogan "Keep the Beat". A total of 9 nations across the Terra will participate in the event, including many previous contestants, as well as the Dovanian debutants, Ntoto. Now, Bianjie has time to prepare and set the stage for the final show, which will be held at the [name] Arena in the heart of our northern capital, Niyalma.

On Friday, the creative director of the BHK, Xiao Sailgi, attended the biannual Namušun Media Forum, which gathers representatives of the Bianjian mass media, to discuss the achievements of the past, the current state of the industry, as well as the plans for the future. Sailgi, as the person put in charge of managing the Festival within the BHK, was invited to speak on the matter. Sailgi took his time to talk about the importance of the FOMAT, as well as the successful story of Bianjie in it. "In our highly turbulent world, where a lot of things can be uncertain, FOMAT serves as a very powerful tool to link people, countries in the name of music", Sailgi said. "And, I am very proud that our nation can be a part of this great process, and be quite successful at it, don't you think?", he chuckled as the sentence was met with applause in the audience.

Sialgi would then move on towards the topic of the 42nd edition of the Festival that Bianjie hosts, to talk more in depth about the BHK's ideas and plans for the event, including the new additions to the FOMAT. According to him, the nation's broadcaster wants to make this edition of the Festival a "once in a lifetime experience", that people "will remember, and get excited about every time they think of it". "It will be a bright and colourful show, for sure. We want to show ourselves, to show people across the world how we can host, how we can make a difference and a great event for generations to remember", he said. Sailgi said that there could be a new addition to the presentation of the performers, likely in a video format, for which the broadcaster's team is currently in a process of cooperating with the Gemun Metropolitan Symphonic Orchestra, especially considering BHK wishes to see the GMSO be a bigger part of the Festival: "It is my personal opinion, which is, however, shared by many within the BHK, that the orchestra is a tool that makes music have soul, and it would be a great opportunity to, first of all, give GMSO a moment of its deserved glory, and, second, make the show even more special and iconic that it is already".
