https://mf.awa.fm/open_sakurashimeji_1024_pr ■Sakurashimeji Like a gentle breeze that embraces you, or a powerful tailwind that pushes you forward. Sakurashineji plays music that continues to ring beside someone. Formed in 2014, this folk duo consists of Masatoshi Tanaka and Hyoga Takada, both of Stardust Promotion. Their songs are true to life and resonate with people of their generation. Celebrating their 11th anniversary, their LINE CUBE SHIBUYA performance in 2026 is sold out. Starting in November 2025, they will embark on a five-venue nationwide tour. ■What is the AWA Lounge? AWA Lounge is an online space where users can share music and interact with each other in real time. Users in the same room can enjoy an online karaoke-like experience using the “song request,” “chat,” and “stamp” features. All features are available even with the Free plan. Another major feature of the Lounge is that all users in the room listen to the same music simultaneously, making it a great way to “support” your favorite artists and increase their play counts. Joining the Lounge as a STANDARD member will give even more back to the artists. ■App overview “AWA” is a subscription-based music streaming service provided by AWA Corporation, a joint venture between CyberAgent, Inc. and Avex Entertainment Inc.
