A student at Nagoya University's Graduate School of Information Science has developed an online platform for music fans that keeps them update on classical and jazz concerts by musician and venue.
Kanji Toyama, 24, named the service Sonoligo after his startup Sonoligo Inc., which incorporates the words sono (sound) and ligo (connection) from Esperanto.
Sonoligo users, after registering for free on his website (www.sonoligo.com), can choose the musicians and concert halls they like, resulting in their concert schedules appearing on a customized calendar. They can also receive updates by email. A map feature shows the locations of concerts to be held on a given day.
