Battle of Songs

Battle of Songs is a custom-made music game show distributed by C.W.H Entertainment. The show mainly features massive random songs from wide range of genres and languages battle together for accumulated money. The first season of the show was originally the twelfth season of the show's predecessor, Music Station, however it has reported that the series have abruptly cancelled following several copyright issues that have been plagued since its debut. The series is set for premiere in late May 2021, and serving as the third generation of the Ex-Music trilogy.

Background
After Music Station's official debut in February 2020, it was known that the name of the show have already adapted from a Japanese weekly show of the same name. This statement was disregarded by the producers of the show as the format of the show was completely different from its original version. In the show's sixth season, where the currency was introduced and the show had transformed into a game show, the show had received mixed reviews regarding to its concept as well as its format.

The format was shifted again in Season 10, in order to be more relevant as a game show. However, that season marked an un-avoided downhill to the whole series. This is due to some of the format were known copyrighted from other existing game shows. The producers were again disregarded the statement, and continue to develop the show for its eleventh season, as copyright issues spreading around the producers during the broadcast, the host had decided to end the season early. While being renewed for its twelfth season, controversies have been lifted among producers due to copyright issues, this led to the sudden cancellation of the show.

Shortly after the show's cancellation, it was announced that the producers have been working on a new show with similar main purposes to its predecessors, Ex-Music and Music Station. This is possibly due to being reported that the playlist queue regarding to both two shows were still large, with more than thousands of songs are waiting. On May 18, 2021, it was revealed that the title of the new show is to be "Battle of Songs" and was expected to premiere in late May 2021.

Season 1
The first season of the show saw few changes compared to the eleventh and final season of Music Station. Several copyrighted elements have been removed, including the Clock Format, Money Tree and the "One Song One Thousandaire" minigame. Major modifications have also made into the core rules, instead of competing for one top prize, contestants competed for accumulated money through infinite amount of matches. Some basic elements such as castings and decisions were remained the same.
