The act of collaborative lyric writing by multiple people may produce richer ideas than creative acts by individuals. However, if all members of a songwriting group do not accurately share the elements which are considered to be important in songwriting (i.e., story, character, viewpoint, and line of sight), then it would be difficult for ideas to diverge and converge, which is important in a creative act. In the present paper, we propose a collaborative lyric conception support method, which consists of lyric divergence support using a lyric association map (LAM) based on radial thinking in mind mapping and lyric convergence support using an enumeration of lyric candidate sentences created from the conceived lyric candidates. The visualization of the process of conception in a group facilitates the association, sharing, examination, and consideration of lyrics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mti6040023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,3]],"date-time":"2022-04-03T02:59:52Z","timestamp":1648954792000},"page":"23","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Implementation and Evaluation of a Collaborative Lyric-Writing Support System Using a Lyric Association Map"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Meguru","family":"Yamashita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Software and Information Science, Iwate Prefectural University, 152-52 Sugo, Takizawa City 020-0693, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiwamu","family":"Sato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Software and Information Science, Iwate Prefectural University, 152-52 Sugo, Takizawa City 020-0693, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4517-4576","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akio","family":"Doi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Software and Information Science, Iwate Prefectural University, 152-52 Sugo, Takizawa City 020-0693, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"466","article-title":"The CGM Movement Opened up by Hatsune Miku, Nico Nico Douga and PIAPRO","volume":"53","author":"Goto","year":"2012","journal-title":"IPSJ Mag."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"81","DOI":"10.5057\/ijae.IJAE-D-16-00017","article-title":"The Implementation of Collaborative Composition System","volume":"16","author":"Yamashita","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int.
