AWA Lounge is an online space where users can enjoy streaming music and interacting with each other in real-time. Using features such as "song requests," "chat," and "stamps," users in the same room can experience something like an online karaoke room, and all features can be enjoyed even with the Free plan. Another major feature is that in the Lounge, all users in the room listen to the same music simultaneously, making it a great place to "support" your favorite artists by increasing their play counts. If you participate in the Lounge as a STANDARD member, more revenue will be returned to the artists. ■ App Overview "AWA" is a subscription-based music streaming service provided by AWA Co., Ltd., a joint venture between CyberAgent, Inc. and Avex Entertainment Inc.
