Audiostock

📖 What is Audiostock?

Japan's largest royalty-free audio stock service, covering 1,000,000+ BGM tracks, sound effects, voice clips, and vocal songs combined. Its strength is search that lets you filter with a Japanese sense of nuance — genre, mood (cheerful/sad/horror, etc.), tempo, and exclusion keywords. Single-track purchases are ¥660 for sound effects and voice clips, from ¥1,210 for BGM, and from ¥3,630 for vocal songs, with a permanent license that never expires once purchased. Tracks work on YouTube with no extra steps, and those cleared against Content ID carry a “YouTube Safe” mark. A personal-use-only video creator plan is ¥858/month (billed annually).

💡 When to Use It

Chosen for moments when free assets risk overlapping with other streamers, or when you want that one perfect track for an opening or a segment. Since you can search by mood or tempo, you can quickly find a tense track for a horror game playthrough or an upbeat BGM for a clip video. It's also a good fit when you want to be sure the rights are solid on a monetized channel. Use the ¥858/month video creator plan if you use it regularly, or single-track purchases for one-off needs.

📋 Basic Info

🚀 How to Use

1. Step 1: Sign up for a free account at audiostock.jp and log in.
2. Step 2: Narrow down results by genre, mood, tempo, and exclusion keywords while previewing tracks, and pick the music or sound effect you want.
3. Step 3: Choose either a single-track purchase (¥660 for sound effects / from ¥1,210 for BGM) or a subscription like the video creator plan (¥858/month, billed annually), and complete payment.
4. Step 4: Load the downloaded audio into OBS as a “media source,” or into editing software like DaVinci Resolve.
5. Step 5: If you're using it on YouTube, picking tracks with the “YouTube Safe” mark minimizes the risk of Content ID claims.
