Monogatary.com (stylized in all lowercase) is a social networking service website, owned by Japanese entertainment conglomerate Sony Music Entertainment Japan. Taking name for Japanese word monogatari (物語; lit. 'story'),[1] the website focuses on creative writing and illustration, where users can submit works based on a daily updated theme.[2] Furthermore, it also incorporates social network service features.[3] The works submitted on Monogatary.com have been adapted into various forms, such as books, audio-books, anime series, films, games, or songs, etc.[4][5]

Yohei Yashiro launched the website on October 30, 2017.[6] In 2014, Sony Music Marketing (now Sony Music Solutions), a subsidiary of SMEJ, proposed creating a creative writing submission website. Despite internal positive reception, the idea did not align with the company's primary focus on music marketing. A year later, as the SMEJ business program EnterLab launched, SMM's then-supervisor suggested Yohei Yashiro, who had previously helped on the unsuccessful project, to resume the creative writing submission website.[7] Since 2018, the website has hosted an annual fiction contest, Monocon, divided into various categories and awards.[8]

Monogatary.com is best known for its fictional stories that have become sources for songs performed by duo Yoasobi.[9] Notable works includes "Yoru ni Kakeru", based on the Monocon 2019's Sony Music Award winners, Mayo Hoshino's Thanatos no Yūwaku,[10] was a massive commercial success amidst COVID-19 pandemic in Japan in 2020 and established their musical career.[11] The duo and the website later held another contest, called the Yoasobi Contest, for three times.[12][13][14] Other musical collaborations include Halca,[15] Omoinotake,[16] Kana Nishino,[17] Adieu,[18] Hitsujibungaku,[19] Tatsuya Kitani,[20] Yama, etc.[21]
