Introduced by the Music Selector for the "RELAX WORLD MUSIC" Smartphone App! The Service's Appeal and Recommended Usage

"RELAX WORLD MUSIC" is a music app that can be used in various daily situations. We spoke with a staff member who curates the music and uses the app daily, and they shared their recommended features and effective ways to use the app.

Recommended albums curated by staff (limited-time content)

Curating Limited-Time Content

- How do you select the limited-time content that is added every month?

The RELAX WORLD MUSIC app is based on the themes of "healing and sleep," delivering various music categorized into 13 genres, such as "Sleep Sounds," "Supervised by Medical Doctors and Specialists," and "Stress Relief."

In addition to these standard contents, we deliver monthly music tailored to the season. For the current "Autumn Meditation," I wanted everyone to enjoy healing music with the sounds of autumn insects, so I picked out sound sources and created a playlist.

It's packed with music that makes you feel like you're meditating while surrounded by the sounds of insects in a vast natural setting. To help calm your mind and enhance concentration, I select music that combines quiet melodies, gentle rhythms, the sound of flowing water, and healing tones.

I hope this music helps everyone find their inner peace and provides a moment to relieve daily stress 💛

App Usage Scenarios

- You mentioned that you use the "RELAX WORLD MUSIC" app every day. In what situations do you use it most often?

I often use it to switch gears when doing housework!

There's a wide variety of tempos, so when I start by listening to active music, I think, "I'll finish this task by the time this album ends!" and it really helps me get things done.

It's not widely known, but getting quality sleep is not only about activities right before bed, but also largely depends on how much you move your body during the day.

While the RELAX WORLD MUSIC app might be associated with evening use, using it throughout the day, starting from the morning when you begin moving your body, can more effectively improve your sleep quality!

It also has a feature that allows you to visualize your condition.

(By linking with the Health app (iOS) / Health Connect app (Android), you can display health information.)

I used to have trouble falling asleep; when I tried to sleep, various thoughts would pop up one after another, and it would take me a long time to fall asleep. However, by playing relaxing music, I could focus my mind on the music instead of my thoughts, and I started falling asleep quickly.

The app also has a "timer function" which I use to set when the music stops. I feel that if the sound keeps playing while I'm sleeping, it might actually lower the quality of my sleep, so I really recommend trying this feature.

It can also be used in conjunction with loop playback.

The Fluctuation of Nature Sounds and Recommended Listening Methods

- Another feature that the staff member particularly likes is the custom background sound function. For example, you can enjoy the rhythm known as "1/f fluctuation," which is said to have a calming effect on the human mind, along with the music.

When natural sounds are depicted as waveforms, they appear irregular compared to performed sounds. This is scientifically proven and is known as 1/f fluctuation, which resonates with the body as a sound wave, bringing relaxation.

When listening to music on RELAX WORLD MUSIC, I prefer to add forest sounds or flowing water sounds as background sounds to my favorite songs, making them a bit louder. (The app allows you to mix 5 types of background sounds: "Forest," "Rain," "River," "Sea," and "White Noise" at your preferred balance.)

Just operate the slider bar! You can intuitively mix background sounds.

I have a recommended way to listen to the sound of water: while listening, imagine that old "blood" and stagnant "qi" in your body are purified along with the flow of water, and new, clean "blood" and "energy" circulate through your body.

By listening with this image in mind, I believe your head will become clearer, and you'll feel your rusty body and mind refreshed. You'll likely achieve a deeper relaxation and healing effect than just passively listening. Please give it a try!

Background Sound (Nature Sound) Mix Audio

We've prepared two reference audio sources for comparison: one with background sound mixed in and the original audio (without background sound mix). Please listen to my recommended nature sound mix.
