Cotodama Lyric Speaker is a speaker with translucent screen for lyrics

The most conceptual karaoke

The first impact upon seeing the LyricSpeaker it's your design. It has a retro style, which is reminiscent of the first TVs, but exudes elegance and technology. Made in Japan, this stereo was not born to sell hundreds, as only 15 are produced per month, assembled manually at the factory. In addition, the speaker is only distributed in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Japan. each unit costs US$ 4.500. Putting all these facts together, it's a product for a really selective audience.

The big highlight is acrylic translucent screen at 22 inches, that's where all the beauty happens. O LyricSpeaker is based on PetitLyrics, Japan's largest lyric site, with over two million tracks. In partnership with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), a music analyst was created. The invention identifies the direction of the music, based on 4 extremes: positive, negative, soft and heavy; among them there are ways such as “depressive”, “sparkling” and “peaceful”. Phew, you can already see that it's not a simple music player, right? To access these services, the LyricSpeaker it only works over Wi-Fi, connected to an iOS, Android or computer, not over bluetooth.

making the own lyric video

This whole base allows the Cotodama Lyric Speaker display the letters in the ideal way. For example, if it's Another One Bites The Dust by Queen, the lyrics will be displayed stronger and with more beats than if Lush For Life by Lana Del Rey. It's not just throwing the lyrics on the screen, it's knowing how to show them.

We talk about so much, but not about the speakers. There are two strategically positioned to deliver stereo sound. They can reproduce sound in high resolution. “As if a musician were singing in his presence,” says the manufacturer.

Remembering again that all this construction of the Cotodama Lyric Speaker It has a very high price: US$ 4.500. Would you be willing to pay that much?
