ASMR Basics for Newcomers

Japanese ASMR tags and recording terms can be confusing. Here are common ones in brief.

Ear Cleaning

Works focused on ear-cleaning sounds and ear-area triggers. A popular genre often used for relaxation and sleep.

Whisper

Soft-spoken or whispered dialogue. Feels like someone is speaking close to your ear.

Binaural

Stereo recording that delivers different sounds to each ear. Dummy-head mics (e.g. KU100) can make positioning feel more realistic.

For sleep and bedtime listening, try tags like “sleep” or “companionship” and our purpose pages.
