What is AWA Lounge?
An online space where users can enjoy sharing music and interacting in real-time.
Using the "Song Request," "Chat," and "Stamp" functions, users in the same room can experience something akin to an online karaoke room, with all functions available even on the FREE plan.
Additionally, a key feature of the lounge is that all users in the room can listen to the same music simultaneously, allowing it to be used as a place to "support" favorite artists by increasing their play counts. Participating in the lounge as a STANDARD member contributes more to the artist.
