The fourth contest opened the second cycle with mostly brand new countries. The theme was east. For the first time, a country that’s not an actual country appeared: Middle East. Other firsts were one country (Japan) getting both of its entries in the first round’s top 3 and Ukraine’s Ani Lorak appearing as the first (international final) Eurovision artist.
