Rainy Day Indoor Learning Experience Through Audiobooks with Sonos

Rainy Day Learning: Audiobook.jp Partners with Sonos

As rainy season approaches, many people find themselves spending more time indoors, experiencing feelings of unease due to the weather. Recognizing this, audiobook.jp, the leading Japanese audiobooks platform operated by 株式会社オトバンク (Otobank Inc.), has launched the "Rainy Day Ear Activity Campaign" in collaboration with the American audio brand Sonos. This campaign, beginning on June 18, 2025, invites users to transform their home time into an enriching learning experience through audiobooks.

Embracing Learning at Home

The rainy days can easily lead to feelings of stagnation, but with audiobook.jp's extensive catalog that includes thousands of titles from popular business, self-help, and classic literature, listeners can now turn their attention inward. The audiobooks from audiobook.jp allow you to enjoy reading without the need for your hands or eyes; simply listen! This freedom means you can enjoy a good book while cooking, cleaning, or even doing workouts and stretches—all while making the most of your home time.

Sonos' portable smart speaker, the Sonos Roam 2, elevates this experience even further. Its lightweight design and advanced sound optimization technology ensure that wherever you are in your home—be it the living room, kitchen, or bathroom—you can have a great audio experience tailored to your environment. With the Rainy Day Ear Activity Campaign, listeners are encouraged to embrace new lifestyle habits that integrate learning into daily routines.

It provides a deep and rich sound quality comparable to large speakers, thanks to its Automatic Trueplay™ technology which fine-tunes audio performance based on the placement and content type.

What are Audiobooks?

Audiobooks are books that are read aloud by narrators or voice actors, allowing you to enjoy literature just through listening. They have become incredibly popular as they enable consumers to engage with books without the need for visual reading. Audiobooks are perfect for multitasking—whether you're running, commuting, or handling household chores, you can easily incorporate "listening while doing" into your lifestyle.

As the availability of smartphones and wireless headphones grows, so does the accessibility of audiobooks. The implementation of subscription services allowing unlimited access to a variety of titles has made listening more attractive than ever.
