The Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC) has announced a partnership with "muside," a smartphone app operated by Nishi-Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Koichi Hayashida; hereinafter "Nishitetsu"), to promote KENDRIX to artists and creators.
muside primarily supports the live activities of bands and singer-songwriters, while KENDRIX supports the proper management of music information, including author details, through blockchain registration of sound files exported from DAW software. By expanding promotions across regions and genres, this collaboration will accelerate the realization of KENDRIX's vision: "A world where all music creators can participate in the Creation Ecosystem."
Furthermore, a verification project will be conducted to efficiently collect music usage data from live houses using muside's built-in setlist creation and publication function by performers, and to utilize this data for JASRAC's distribution.
(Overview of the Collaboration)
■ **muside × KENDRIX Collaboration Event to be Held**
Around autumn 2026, a live event will be held in Fukuoka City, hosted by muside and sponsored by KENDRIX. Professional creators/producers associated with KENDRIX will serve as judges, with benefits expected to include song arrangement and production, and appearances at KENDRIX-related events.
■ **Verification of Distribution Data Collection Effectiveness via muside's Setlist Function**
After muside's setlist function is modified (to allow registration of JASRAC work codes, etc.) and its terms of use are revised, a verification project will be conducted. This project aims to update the compensation system for creators through JASRAC by encouraging performers at live houses to create setlists and provide information via muside.

**muside**
A music activity support platform proposed within Nishitetsu's new business creation program and launched in February 2024. With the aim of resolving the lack of information and inconvenience felt during music activities, and to further invigorate the amateur music scene and encourage more casual enjoyment of music, muside offers many functions under the concept of "Your manager for enjoying music." These include searching for live houses and studios, recording live performances and appearances, announcing live shows and managing tickets, viewing past live setlists, and recruiting members. Additionally, it creates opportunities for artists to perform by collaborating with various live events for auditioning.
