About AWA Lounge

AWA Lounge is an online space where users can share music and interact in real time.

Using features like 'song requests,' 'chat,' and 'stamps,' users in the same room can enjoy a karaoke-like experience online. All features are available even on the Free plan.

A key feature is that all users in the room listen to the same music simultaneously, making it an ideal space to 'support' favorite artists by boosting their play counts. STANDARD members contribute even more directly to artists when participating in the Lounge.
