Loop BGM

Japanese name
ループBGM

Loop BGM is background music written so that it does not sound unnatural when it returns from the end to the beginning and repeats. It is used in games, streaming standby screens, apps, exhibitions, and more.

Where it is used

What matters is the join between the start and the end, the length of the tail, and how the rhythm is divided. An arrangement that does not tire the ear over long listening suits it well.

Checks before using it

When you use someone else’s material, check whether looped use is permitted and what the conditions for editing and processing are.

It is a term that puts more weight on sounding natural on repeat than ordinary background music does.
