Yes, you can. As long as the lyrics are in Japanese and your group will perfrom the whole song not just the game opening version of it.

is there a solo category?

the contest is exclusively for groups and bands. why don’t you ask your friends to join with you?

Hey! can I just enter as a solo? since looking for someone is very tiresome and it’s very hard to look for someone who’s willing to join the contest….

again, this is a group competition — strictly no solo acts allowed. if you want to compete solo i suggest you just join karaoke competitions held at several other local anime conventions instead of this competition. good luck.
