A record bar based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has released its own unique music app that fuses music with technology. While the current tech scene is dominated by AI-generated content and prompt-driven interfaces, this project takes the opposite approach, centered around human curation and the delivery of a pure musical experience.
By eliminating complex generative AI features and prompt inputs, the app is designed to let users engage with music intuitively. It aims to digitally recreate the musical sensibilities cultivated in the physical space of its Shibuya storefront, targeting vinyl enthusiasts and pure music fans alike.
The deliberate choice not to use "AI prompts" reflects the company's stance against the current AI-saturated trend. Unlike algorithmic auto-curation, the focus is on how to translate the "analog comfort" shaped by space, time, and human touch into a digital application.
Moving forward, the company plans to host events linked with its physical store and expand online community features. By deepening the touchpoints between digital and physical realms, the project aims to pursue an experience design that maximizes the intrinsic joy of music.
