What is AWA Lounge?

AWA Lounge is an online space where users can enjoy sharing music and interacting in real-time.

Using features like "song requests," "chat," and "stamps," users in the same room can experience something similar to an online karaoke room. All features can be enjoyed even with the Free plan.

Furthermore, since all users in a lounge listen to the same music simultaneously, it is also a great place to "support" your favorite artists by increasing their play counts. Participating in a lounge as a STANDARD member results in greater returns to the artist.
