"Namimori Live!" (Koran: 싱깅맨 7 회, Namimorish: シングマン 7 挿話) is the special musical event held to celebrate the traditional artistic legends of Holy City of Sasamori. It is used to select Namimori's entry to the Fantasia Contest 29.

On 30 June 2022, the temporary withdrawal of the Qasentrian delegation from Singing Man stayed for one more edition. However, on 7 July 2022, the Namimorish ministers of Art and Culture, Tenma Sumeragi and Tsuzuru Minagi has confirmed that the country will still select Namimori’s entry for the upcoming event via national selection. The winning artist will compete for Namimori at the Fantasia Contest 29 which will be expectedly held in Flírskmasto.

The format of the competition consisted of one final show consisting of 14 participants. Initial 14 entries were selected for the competition through one method : an open call for song submissions separately held by each broadcasting company.

Format

Namimori Live!, organised by Namimorish Television (nmtv°) will be a temporary replacement for Singing Man, which the competition will take place in Sasamori city. The delegation team had received the amount of 432 submissions which 14 of them will compete in the grand final show.

Entry selection

Entries for the competition were selected through two methods:

• 10 entries by debutants were chosen by a selection panel from submissions received by nmtv° through an open call for songs.
• 4 entries by returning artists were chosen by special invitations from nmtv°: Hatsukoi, Special Seat, Anck Sa Namum and Rush

Namimorish Television opened the submission line that accepted entries between 1 and 25 July 2021 for interested artists and songwriters to submit their proposals for the competition. Entries submitted for the competition were required to be released after 2012 and with singer/band that holds Namimorish citizenship or permanent residency. The choice of language is free.

Following the conclusion of the submission periods, nmtv° received 562 entries. The delegation team created a shortlist of entries from the received submissions and formed a selection panel that will be tasked to select 14 entries for the competition.
