Licensing Our Music

Home > Licensing Our Music

– How to obtain a license to use our music for your project-

If you would like to obtain a license to use Tatsuya Oe’s music for your media projects such as television programs, advertising campaigns, film, and video games, please follow these instructions.

We provide one-stop resource consisting of 100% pre-cleared music so that we can serve your needs quickly and bring you a hassle-free licensing deal.

Please don’t forget to read our tutorials and FAQs carefully as well before contacting us.

Contents

  • 1. How to Proceed: Standard Way
  • 2. “After reading FAQs, I still have questions.”
  • 3. Important Notes: Before you proceed

How to Proceed: Standard Way

If you would like to use a specific track of our catalog, please fill out the detail of your project and request a quote via License Request Form. We will get back to you after we discuss your offer and figure out the quote. We may attach a draft of our agreement and invoice as well if we don’t need any more clarification about your project.

If we reach an agreement as to the licensing terms, please pay the license fee and send us your paperwork. Shortly after we confirm your payment, we will send a required audio file (high-quality WAV) to you.

If you’re interested in alternative mixes and edits of our pre-existing songs, please ask us via License Form as well. Make sure to specify your musical needs as closely as possible.

Examples:

“I would like to use a non-choir mix of Dark Model’s “Rage and Redemption” for my film project.”

“Can I use just a whistling part of Captain Funk’s “Alex Whistles” as a sound logo for my TV commercial project?”

“Interested, but I still need more choices.”

Also, if you haven’t been able to find a suitable track for your project yet (while you’re interested in using Tatsuya’s music), don’t hesitate to let us know in detail what kind of music you’re seeking via License Form as well.

Examples:

“We are looking for music that includes both orchestral and edgy electronic elements such as Dark Model’s “Fate.” Also, its tempo should be around 130 BPM. Do you have any tracks that satisfy those conditions?”

“Do you have any other classical piano tracks based on minimalism like OE’s ‘Tessera’? We are interested in using that sort of music in our film.”

“After reading FAQs, I still have questions.”

For general questions about licensing our music, please ask us via the contact page. Please note that we don’t reply to any questions that are not related to our music.

Important Notes: Before you proceed

– Our music license is not available for non-commercial, non-profit videos, personal/private or student productions on any media. Any inquiries for these non-commercial uses and gratis licenses will not be answered. We only handle commercial licenses with a certain amount of budget. Thanks for your understanding.

– Purchasing our music on CD stores and digital download services such as iTunes and Amazon does NOT mean we have granted you any synchronization and master use license of the music. Thanks for your understanding.

Reference: “Wait! Don’t post that music video on YouTube without a sync license!” (Disk Makers)

政治経済をはじめ、あらゆる分野において、今ほど「予測」が意味をなさない時代は珍しいと思う。2008年の大統領選挙で50州中49州の結果を的中させ、時の人となったネイト・シルバーが新刊を出すと聞いたが、正直言って、今はどんな専門家の予測も当てにならないと感じているし、むしろ知らない方が賢明だと思う。「〇〇が勝つ確率は71%」と言われても、それはあくまで「モデルが正しければ」の話。コロナ禍のモデル論争が、今となっては牧歌的に思える。

昨日に続き、お気に入りのブラジル音楽を紹介。ギタリスト、ルイス・ボンファの『Introspection』は、彼のリリース作の中で最もよく聴いてきたインストアルバム。恐らく彼の作品の中では商業的に成功しなかった部類に入るだろうし、レコード会社RCAとの契約もこれが最後だったようだが、YouTubeのコメントでは絶賛の嵐となっている。この作品を発表した1972年当時の彼に、2025年のリスナーからの反応を届けてあげたい。

先日、「心に響く、一生モノの曲」の話をしたけれど、ブラジルの音楽にはそのような曲が本当に多い。ひとつ残念なのは、僕がブラジルポルトガル語をあまり理解できないこと。外国語に関しては、時々思い立ってラテン系言語や中国語のテキストを買ってみるのだけれど、結局は英語に逃げてしまう。この「É Preciso Perdoar(赦してあげよう)」という曲は、失恋についての内省的な歌で、A→Bパートへの展開がゾクッと来る。
