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)

8月上旬に木星と金星が接近するというニュースを見ていたところ、『ZWO Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2025』という記事に出会った。ZWOとは、天体望遠鏡などを製造している中国のメーカーで、最近では『See Star』という画期的な商品で注目を集めている。自分にとって音楽は聴くよりも作る方がより楽しいけど、天体写真はハードルが高すぎて、撮るよりも鑑賞する方が断然面白い。

僕が小学校で鑑賞した映画と言えば、昔話のアニメや交通安全の映画くらいしか記憶にない。しかし、80年代に小学校に通った多くの人々は、この『砂漠の冒険』という映画を見せられたらしい。早回しで確認してみたが、少年が載った飛行機が墜落し、一人砂漠を彷徨うというサバイバル映画としてはかなり過酷な内容だった。ダチョウの卵を焼いて食べ、ブッシュマンに石を投げられながらも生き抜く主人公がタフすぎる…。文部省もどえらい映画を選んだものだ。

NPR(公共放送)系のラジオ局では、ブラジルや日本などアメリカ以外のアーティストの曲も選曲されることがある。先日、故Orlandivoの『Onde Anda O Meu Amor』を、数十年ぶりに聴いた。学生の頃よく聴いていたこのCDアルバム、音源にレコード針の音が入っていて、海賊版っぽかったのを覚えている。彼は60年代初期に『日本のサンバ』という可愛らしい曲を発表しているが、和風を目指しながらもフレーズがモロに中国風だった点はご愛嬌。
