With the second chapter launching, audiences can now enjoy a weekly series that features paired short stories and songs, enhancing the immersive experience further.
August 1 Launch Details
On the opening day, the following content was released:
Opening piece: 'A Night's Color' (paired with the track 'Iroha Flow')
Single release: 'Iroha Flow' on popular streaming services
Music video: Full-length version now available
The Track 'Iroha Flow'
'Iroha Flow,' the latest single, draws inspiration from a 47-character ancient poem that incorporates all Japanese hiragana syllables once, reflecting the transient nature of existence. The composition lies at the intersection of R&B and soul, delivered with a medium tempo that gently sways through the depths of night. The phrase 'Colors bloom, yet eventually fall' serves as a backdrop for both the story and the song. This captivating track is currently streaming on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music.

Innovation in Music Creation: The Use of 'prompt-jukebox'
Flehmen's music production leverages the SUNO prompt dictionary, 'prompt-jukebox' (https://prompt-jukebox.com), a tool developed and operated by Spollup. This innovative service assists in generating precise music prompts tailored to artists' styles, providing a means to achieve the desired sound.
On July 30, 2026, a new feature called 'Fantasy Band' was released, allowing users to position their favorite artists in different parts and produce a sound prompt for an 'imaginary band.' This feature not only fuels creativity but also plays a vital role in the music-making process of Flehmen.
It's essential to clarify that the prompt-jukebox does not replicate the voices or performances of specific artists; instead, it aims to craft new sounds that embody the qualities of their musical essence. It serves as an innovative tool to push the boundaries of sound production, making it invaluable for Spollup's music creation process.
Integrated Use of In-house Products
Spollup not only develops AI music generation products but also creates content that leverages these tools, showcasing a symbiotic relationship between product development and creative output. By applying their own technologies in real-world settings, they can collect feedback and insights to enhance their offerings, fulfilling a foundational purpose of their dual Business model.
