EVERY PLAY
SUPPORTS
SONGWRITER.
Hello and welcome. We are COTODAMA.
Thank you for your interest in our speakers.
When you encounter lyrics, when your heart is moved by words, and your life and everyday moments become richer — that is the experience we hope to create.
COTODAMA speakers are uniquely designed so that every time music is played, royalties are returned to songwriters through officially authorized copyright management organizations — a mechanism that has never existed before. The song you chose today, the verse that suddenly flowed by — each one quietly connects to someone’s life and the future of music. A gentle cycle like this is what we envisioned when we brought this product to market 10 years ago.
But this is more than just a structure for “redistribution.”
Through various encounters, we have learned something important. For a songwriter, knowing that their words dwell in someone’s daily life — gently supporting them, uplifting their spirits, or bringing comfort — is a great joy and a source of hope. We have continued refining our technology because we want to deepen the connection between lyrics and listeners.
Each time you play a song, we automatically analyze the content of the lyrics to estimate mood and key lines, then display the lyrics with motion graphics and fonts that are most fitting.
Calm motion for soothing lyrics. Dynamic motion for uplifting melodies or passionate words. This is the unique technology we deliver to you.
We want to be part of the cycle that receives the artist’s intent and passes it on to someone else.
We do not chase streams alone. What truly matters is the healthy flow by which listeners receive words from artists — music exists so that listeners can experience richness and happiness.
We hope to carefully nurture a gentle cycle where people who love music, those who craft words, and you who embrace them in your everyday life remain connected.
To that end, we will continue to refine our technology to create new bonds between music and listeners.
Not just to “listen,”
but to “feel” your music experience.
That is COTODAMA" SPEAKER.
Your single play
supports the songwriter’s future,
nurtures the circulation of music,
and gently makes the world a little kinder.
We hope to continue, together with you,
cultivating a culture where words and music live on quietly.
— COTODAMA
