How to join a live

For first-time viewersHow to join a corom live

This page walks you through everything in order, so that you can enjoy a corom online live with confidence — even if you are not used to smartphones or apps.

If you ever lose your place, come back to this page as many times as you need.
Please note: the screenshots on this page show the Japanese version of the app. The position of each button is the same.

Getting ready

These steps are only for your first time. Once they are done, you will not need them again.

1
Install the corom app

First, get corom ready so that you can watch the artist's online live. Choose the button that matches your device.

iPhone / iPad

When the store screen opens, press “Get” or “Install”. Wait a moment — when the button changes to “Open”, the app is installed.

Using a computer?
You do not need to install anything. Open corom with the button below, then press “ログイン” (Log in) at the top right of the screen. If you already signed up on your phone, use that same email address and password.
We recommend the Google Chrome browser. If you do not have it yet, see this guide.

2
Create an account (first time only)

When you open the app, you will see “新規登録” (Sign up).

There are several ways to sign up. Choose whichever you prefer from the options on screen. Signing up with a service you already use makes it easier to get back in next time.

If you sign up with an email address, follow the instructions on screen and enter:
· Your email address
· A password (any combination of letters and numbers you choose)

If you signed up with an email address, it helps to write your password down.
You will need it again later. Even if you forget it, you can reset it from the log-in screen, so there is nothing to worry about.
This is a one-time step. From the second time onward, simply opening the app is enough.
When do I use “Log in”?
On the device where you signed up, you can keep using the app as it is. “Log in” is for using the same account on another phone or computer — that is where you enter your registered email address and password.

Choose an artist

Once you have signed up, look for the live you want to watch, or the artist you would like to support.

1. Press “アーティスト” (Artists) at the very bottom of the screen.

There are five buttons along the bottom. “アーティスト” is the second from the left — the icon of a person singing.

2. The list opens. Tap the photo of the live or the artist you want, and that page opens.

For some lives you will need to buy a ticket. STEP 4, “Buy a ticket”, walks you through it step by step.

You can also open the same pages by tapping the artist photos on the top screen.

Buy a ticket (only for lives that need one)

Some lives are free to watch. For lives that need a ticket, there are four steps.

  1. Choose the liveOpen the artist's page and tap the live you want to watch. The date, time and price are shown.
  2. Choose the seat typePick an Arena seat or a Stand seat. What you can do and the price are different. With either seat you can watch again after the live.
  3. Choose how to payYou can pay by credit card, or at a convenience store — the same for every live. → About payment methods
  4. The purchase is confirmedOnce payment is complete, a receipt is emailed to the address you registered, and the ticket appears in the app.
Please check the date and seat before you pay.
Tickets cannot be cancelled or refunded after purchase. Please check the date, the start time and the seat type once more.
If you bought without creating an account (as a non-member), you need to create an account and claim your ticket before the live starts. See Buying a ticket without an account.

About payment methods

The same for every live. You can check this here, without going all the way to the purchase screen.

💳Credit card

Enter your card number and the name on the card. The purchase is confirmed as soon as the payment goes through.

🏪Convenience store

You can pay at Lawson, FamilyMart, Ministop or Seicomart. Cash only. Please write down the reference number shown on screen.

Your seat is not held until you have paid in the store. After the deadline the order is cancelled automatically. Please avoid convenience store payment just before a live.

Payment methods are the same for every live. Whether you buy inside the app or from a link sent by the artist, you choose between these two.

Check these before the live

Getting these done the day before means nothing to rush on the day. Tap each line to tick it off (saved on this device).

You can check the sound with any video you normally watch. Video stops more easily where the signal is weak, so connecting to your home Wi-Fi beforehand is the safest option.

On the day|Joining the live

When it is time for the live to start, there are only four steps.

Tap the screen lightly during the live and a white penlight lights up. It feels much like waving one at a venue, and it costs nothing extra.
Original penlights and ringsArena · paid
Penlights in each artist's own colours and designs. Once bought in the app, they replace the white penlight.
The colours differ from artist to artist
CommentsArena · free (some paid)
Send a short message in real time. In an Arena seat comments are free, except for some kinds that are shown more prominently. In a Stand seat comments are paid.
ReactionsPaid in both seats
Showy cheers that put a special effect on the screen. The Japanese support page explains how to send them.

In an Arena seat your own icon is shown on screen during the live, and the artist can see it too. → About your icon
Watch again after the live (archive)Both seats
Even if you cannot make it at the scheduled time, you can watch later. How long the archive stays available may differ from live to live.
With either seat, you can watch the live again after it ends.
So there is no problem if you cannot make it at the scheduled time.
In a Stand seat you can still show how you feel with free “applause”.
Seat types, prices, and how long the archive stays available may differ from live to live. See STEP 4, “Buy a ticket” for how to buy, and About payment methods for how to pay.

What you can do during a live

Simply watching the screen and enjoying the music is perfectly fine.

Just watching and listening is enough

A corom live is enjoyable even if you only watch and listen. If you feel unsure about the controls, it is completely fine to simply sit back and watch.

On your first time, listening to the music without doing anything else is more than enough. There is no rush to learn how to cheer.

Once you feel comfortable, you can cheer too

💚Penlights and reactions

Just tap the screen lightly. It feels much like clapping at a venue.

Tap, and they light up like this

🎤Talking with a microphone

Only when the artist allows it, a fan who is handed the microphone can speak out loud.

When you are handed the mic, your voice comes through

🪙Cheering with coins

You can cheer with a message attached. Coins are items purchased inside the app.

There is no need to use them.

📺Cheering by watching videos

You can also cheer by watching videos. This is available on the smartphone app only.

Do only as much as feels comfortable.

Set an icon, and the artist will remember you

In an Arena seat, your own icon appears on screen during the live, and the artist can see it. Choose one that is unmistakably you, and you may well hear your name called out.

You can change your icon at any time from the profile screen in the app. Deciding on one before the live starts is the safest option.

If something goes wrong

Here are the questions we are asked most often.

Which payment methods can I use?
You can pay by credit card, or at a convenience store (Lawson, FamilyMart, Ministop or Seicomart — cash only). These are the same for every live, whether you buy inside the app or from a link sent by the artist. See About payment methods for the details.
I am not sure how to buy a ticket
Some lives are free to watch. For lives that need a ticket, STEP 4, “Buy a ticket”, walks you through it step by step.
Where can I change my icon?
From the profile screen in the app, at any time. In an Arena seat your icon is shown on screen during the live. → About your icon
I could not watch at the scheduled time
There is nothing to worry about. If you have a ticket — for either seat type — you can watch the live again after it ends (the archive). How long the archive stays available may differ from live to live, so please check the purchase screen or the announcement.
The live icon does not appear
The live icon appears once the artist enters the room. If it is still missing after the start time, pull the screen down with your finger to refresh. If that does not help, close the app once and open it again.
I cannot hear any sound
Turn the volume up with the buttons on the side of your phone. On an iPhone, also check that the small switch on the side (the silent switch) is not turned on.
The video keeps stopping
Video stops more easily where the internet signal is weak. Watching over your home Wi-Fi will make it much more stable.
I forgot my password
On the log-in screen, choose the “forgot your password” option. Instructions for setting a new one will be sent to your registered email address.
I left the live by mistake
You can go back in as many times as you like. Press the house icon (TOP) at the bottom of the screen to return to the top screen, then tap the live icon near the top again.
I got a phone call during the live
Go ahead and take the call. When it ends, open the corom app again and go back in from the live icon on the top screen.
I would like to watch on a bigger screen
You can watch on a computer. Open corom.me, press “ログイン” (Log in) at the top right, and sign in with the email address and password you registered on your phone. There is nothing to install.
I pressed the wrong thing
Nothing to worry about — you can try again as many times as you like. If you get lost, press the house icon (TOP) at the bottom of the screen to return to the first screen.
