What is AWA Lounge? AWA Lounge is an online space where users can enjoy real-time music sharing and interaction with each other. By using features such as 'song requests', 'chat', and 'stamps', users who enter the same room can experience something like an online karaoke room, and all features are available even on the Free plan.

Another significant feature is that in the Lounge, all users in the room listen to the same music simultaneously, making it a place to 'support' favorite artists by increasing their playback count. If you participate in the Lounge as a STANDARD member, more revenue is returned to the artists.
