How can I use JASRAC or NexTone songs? toggle

You can use songs registered with JASRAC and NexTone by entering the work codes for the songs you used on the screen that appears after you have finished your broadcast.

If you enter song codes, please take care to ensure the following cases do not apply:

- The songs are not registered with JASRAC or NexTone.

- The songs registered with JASRAC or NexTone are not available for use in "interactive broadcasts."

In the above cases, you must get permission from the holder of the rights to the songs you wish to use. Please understand that getting permission to use songs is your own responsibility.

Use of songs registered with JASRAC and NexTone are limited to singing or performing the song yourself. If you use the actual music track recorded on a CD, DVD, or a music file, you must also get permission from the holder of the master license, such as the record label that produced it.

If you use licensed music in your broadcast it is your own responsibility. Please get permission beforehand.

Challenge examples:

• Will upload a comedy video when the meter fills up!

• Will freestyle rap if the goal is reached!

Important:
