FAQ

FAQ

Can the song be in English? Can you add a translation?

Yes. We can make your song in Japanese or English, and we’re happy to talk with you in either language. If you’d like, we’ll include a translation of the lyrics (Japanese ⇄ English) at no extra cost. This service is for customers in Japan.

Do I need to write lyrics or sing?

No lyrics needed. Just tell us your memories and what you want to say, in your everyday words. We’ll decide the style and voice together. This service doesn’t assume you’ll sing.

How do you make the songs?

Our team writes the lyrics and music based on the stories and feelings you share. We use AI tools for part of the process, but our team checks and adjusts the word choices and the finished sound one by one. You’ll hear the first draft, and we’ll finish it together.

Can I ask before deciding on a plan?

Yes. Share only what you know — the person, the occasion, the date. If you’ve already decided, tell us your plan and date. We send payment details only after confirming your wishes and the final delivery date.

Can I give it without photos?

Photos aren’t required. You can choose a design with colors or motifs. The QR card is L-size, portrait (8.9 × 12.7 cm). You can check the printed design before it’s printed.

Can I request changes if it’s not what I imagined?

Both plans include 3 free revisions. We’ll explain what’s covered before you pay. A complete change of direction after it’s been agreed is handled separately, with any extra cost and schedule agreed in advance.

Song-only orders include 3 revisions in total for lyrics and music. A set of requests counts as one, and corrections of our mistakes don’t count. Changing lyrics may also change the vocals or melody.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

Before production starts, you can cancel for free and we’ll refund the full amount paid. We never start production from a consultation or quote alone.

If you cancel for your own reasons after production starts but before completion, we’ll deduct the reasonable cost of work already done and materials that can’t be returned or reused, and refund the rest. We’ll explain how this is calculated, and the upper limit, before you pay.

Once you’ve approved and received the finished work, we generally can’t accept returns or refunds for personal reasons. If there’s a problem with the audio, a printing error, damage, or anything that differs from what we agreed, we’ll fix, replace or redeliver it. See the Terms of Order for details.

Will my memories or photos be made public?

We never post songs, photos or stories as examples or on social media without your permission. Trial-price feedback and permission to share the work are confirmed separately.

How long can I listen to the song?

The dedicated playback page is available while the service runs, but we can’t guarantee it forever. You’ll also receive the finished song as MP3 and WAV files to keep on your own device.

If you plan to use it on social media, in videos, in a shop or on streaming services, please tell us before production. We’ll explain the scope of use before you order. This plan doesn’t guarantee an exclusive transfer of copyright.

How do I pay?

Once you’re happy with the details, total and delivery date, we’ll send a Stripe card payment link. JCB isn’t accepted at the moment. Apple Pay and Google Pay may appear depending on your device and browser.

Can you make just the song?

Song only: ¥7,800 (tax incl., one song). Includes a full-length song with vocals (about 2–5 minutes), MP3, WAV and lyric text, and 3 revisions in total for lyrics and style. Doesn’t include a playback page, QR code, printed gift, music video or live recording. No need to share feedback or let us publish the song.

Ask on LINE ↗
Can you make songs for weddings or company events?

Yes. Whether it's a song for a wedding, an anniversary or another celebration, we'll give you a quote after talking through the content and how it will be used. Feel free to get in touch.

Can you make it in time if I’m in a hurry?

As a guide, please apply 7 days before your gift date for links, or 10 days before for hand-delivery. If you’re in a hurry, talk to us first.

Can I choose the lyricist?

Usually, please leave it to us — we’ll choose based on who you’re giving it to. If you’d prefer a female or male lyricist, just let us know.

Does applying mean I’ve ordered?

No. When we contact you, we’ll confirm the details and price, and you’ll move on to payment only if you’re happy. It’s fine to stop there.

Will they really love it?

Everyone reacts differently, so we can’t promise. What we can promise is that we’ll put everything into a song made only for them, from your words and memories. You can listen before it’s finished and request up to 3 free revisions.

TELL US ABOUT THEM

First, tell us about the person you want to give it to.

Our story

It began with a song for a mother.

A song whose lyrics two daughters thought through from scratch, as a gift for their mother. When she heard it, she cried. That moment was the beginning of Sound Atelier Key.
