■muque
A four-piece band living in Fukuoka, consisting of Lenon (Ba), takachi (Track make&Dr), Asakura (Vo&Gt), and Kenichi (Gt). Formed in May 2022. Muque’s songs will be produced mainly by Takachi, a drummer who creates and arranges tracks, and Asakura, who is in charge of top line and lyrics. Its biggest appeal is Takachi’s contemporary tracks, which not only prefer world-wide music, including ASIAN global beats, and Asakura’s lyrical world of lyrics and the melody line that gives off a sense of harmony. This song creates a unique worldview through emotional vocalization by Asakura. The band’s name muque is a French word for music and the Japanese word “musique” means “musique”. Innocence means that it is filthless, and it is a desire to continue to create the music we want to play, without being influenced by those around us.
■What is AWA Lounge?
This is an online space where users can enjoy playing music and interacting with each other in real time.
Using the “Song Request”, “Chat”, and “Stamp” functions, users who enter the same room can experience an online karaoke room-like experience, and all functions can be enjoyed on the Free plan.
Another major feature of this lounge is that all users in the room can watch the same music at the same time, so it can be used as a place to “support” to increase the number of views of your favorite artists. If you join the lounge as a STANDARD member, you will receive more rewards to the artists.
