Music From Lantis Becomes Available for Sampling: Bandai Namco Arts Concludes a License Agreement With Tracklib
Must-see for music creators! Music from Lantis becomes available for sampling! Bandai Namco Arts Concludes a License Agreement with Tracklib
Bandai Namco Arts Inc. (head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Satoshi Kono), the operator of the music label Lantis, has entered into a license agreement with Tracklib Holdings AB (head office: Stockholm, Sweden; CEO: Pӓr Almqvist), the operator of Swedish music sampling platform Tracklib. The service will make sounds sourced from Lantis available for sampling.
Realization of a virtuous cycle in the sampling culture
Sampling is a process of creating a new song by reusing a portion of a sound source from an existing song. Because of
the difficulty in obtaining clearance from the copyright holders of the song and of the master recording, there have
been many cases of unauthorized sampling, making it difficult for both creators and copyright owners to produce
revenue. The sampling licensing platform Tracklib solves this issue faced by music creators. Subscribers can
promptly and easily get a license to sample arbitrary parts of music. They can apply to release it worldwide through
music streaming services, etc. through the Tracklib service's website and register their usage information.
In addition to enhanced convenience for subscribers, this will also provide an opportunity for people to reuse existing
original music in new ways to realize a virtuous cycle whereby a part of the profits from the new song created using
samples will return to the writer, composer and artist of the sampled song as royalties.
Available sound sources
To start, sound sources from Higuchi Kaede, a virtual YouTuber that is a member of the group NIJISANJI, will
be provided from February 9, 2022 onward. More sound sources will be added.

・Stereo Identity
・Be Myself
・Q
・MARBLE
・Sugar Shack
・For you, etc.
