In this paper, I propose the "tweet lyric writing method", which is a method of writing lyrics using Twitter tweets. Recently, many original songs are posted on video-sharing websites and many users not only watch them but also compose music because of the technologies of digital audio workstations such as prominent synthesizers and sequencers. Despite the progress of digital music, for a sound creator, it is rather more difficult to write lyrics than to compose music. On the other hand, many people post text messages on social media about their ideas and feelings in daily life. I noticed that the text messages posted are similar in subject to lyrics and developed a method of writing lyrics using Twitter tweets. In this method, users review their Twitter tweets and analyze their situation and feelings when they posted them. Next, they redescribe them in detail using more concrete words. Finally, they refine the words to poetic description. I applied this method in my seminar on song composition. As a result, many students have acquired the ability to write lyrics to their original songs employing the tweet lyric writing method.
