Hello everyone! ☺️
Thank you so much for your warm support, as always☕🍀
Summer has finally arrived in Japan! It's the season when I start craving shaved ice and somen (cold Japanese noodles)😋
Today I'd like to introduce one of the platforms where I share my music: DOVA-SYNDROME🎵
🌿DOVA-SYNDROME
https://dova-s.jp/en/
DOVA-SYNDROME is one of the most popular websites in Japan for free background music.
All of the music on the site is available free of charge and can be used for commercial projects✨
I currently have around 750 tracks available there, including piano solos, acoustic music, classical-inspired pieces, world music, and many other styles🎼
Because the music is free to use commercially, my tracks have been used not only in personal YouTube videos, but also in games, films, commercials, events, and many other projects. Several of my piano pieces were also used as background music at the prefectural memorial service for former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Of course, I also highly recommend Pixabay if you're looking for free music. However, one great advantage of DOVA-SYNDROME is that you won't receive YouTube Content ID claims when using its music correctly. ✨
As long as you follow the license and terms of use, your YouTube monetization will not be affected by Content ID claims.
With Pixabay music, you usually need to complete a Content ID claim release process before monetizing your YouTube videos. With DOVA-SYNDROME, there is no extra procedure🍀
That's one of the reasons why DOVA-SYNDROME has become such a trusted and popular free BGM website in Japan. 🎵
Until recently, DOVA-SYNDROME focused mainly on users in Japan. But this year, they launched an English X (formerly Twitter) account, and they are also planning to redesign their website to make it even easier for people around the world to use.
There are many wonderful creators on the platform besides me, so I hope you'll take a look! 🎵

You may wonder why I'm introducing a website that offers free music.
Yes, I also sell many of my works commercially, and music is how I make my living.
But more than anything, I hope my music can be helpful to as many people as possible.
As I wrote on the About page of my website (https://harumachiworks.com/en/about.html), I am where I am today because of music.
Music has always been my strength and has carried me through difficult times in my life. I am deeply grateful to the deity of music for giving me that gift.
Since I was fortunate enough to be given the ability to create music, I want to use it to help people around the world. In my own way, I hope that sharing my music is a small way of giving something back for the gift I have received.
I don't dream of creating music that will still be famous 100 or even 1,000 years from now😄
What makes me happiest is knowing that you—the person reading this, even through a computer or phone screen—can listen to my music, feel a little more at ease, or simply find it useful for your project.
I will continue creating music that quietly stays by your side🎵 And of course, I'll keep sharing free background music as well, because it's my life's work😉
Many parts of the world are experiencing extreme heat and unusual weather this year. Please take good care of yourself, and I sincerely hope you stay healthy wherever you are.
Thank you, always, from the bottom of my heart!🍀
