Cotodama

Founded in Tokyo in 2016, Cotodama is a pioneering creative company that works to create new connections between music and listeners. The company has the distinction of being the first Asian company to be awarded at the SXSW accelerator and was selected for Abbey Road Red, Europe's premier music technology incubation programme. This recognition underlines Cotodama's commitment to enriching the musical experience for a global audience.

Innovator in the music industry

The brand's flagship product, the Lyric Speaker, is characterised by its innovative 'Lyric Sync Technology'. This groundbreaking feature, a world first, allows the display of song lyrics in motion graphics in time with the music being played.

The technology includes a built-in engine that automatically estimates the space of the impression based on the song lyrics and displays them with optimal motion graphics and fonts. This provides a unique music experience where soothing lyrics are displayed in smooth movements and uplifting melodies and lyrics are displayed in more dynamic movements. This technological innovation was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.

Cotodama has collaborated with world-class engineers to achieve exceptional sound quality. The goal was to create the feeling of a singer performing music live in the room, with acoustics that are full of musicality and pure voice. Tom's Lab, experts in high-end speaker systems, was responsible for the basic design of the speakers based on Cotodama's ideas. This attention to acoustic detail and purity of voice ensures that listeners can savour every word and note, enhancing the overall sensory experience of music.

Cotodama's innovative approach to music technology continues to push the boundaries of how music is experienced, making the company a leading figure in the world of modern audiovisual technology.
