Included in our tour packages is the fee for a tour manager fluent in at least 2 languages that will take care of the artist while they are in Japan. This is often necessary to insure that the artist is on time for all scheduled appointments as well as to make sure that the tour goes smoothly. Below are some of the duties of the tour manager:
- guiding from the airport to the hotel/lodging
- explaining the sometimes complicated train system (at least 15 different companies in Tokyo and 11 in Osaka)
- guiding to and from the shows
- providing communication assistance with the venue staff during set up and soundcheck
- interpreting for the artist when talking to fans before and after shows
- taking care of business with venues before/during/after the show or whenever necessary
- distributing promotional materials and helping with merch sales
- bringing friends or inviting important industry people to shows and introducing them
- taking pictures or video for the artist during the show upon request
- acting as a driver for artists that choose to travel by car
- taking the artist to eat at good restaurants for dinner and explaining the menu (sometimes menus are only in Japanese)
