On Location
Location Sound Recording Across Japan
Clean dialogue and atmosphere sound in Japan pose real tests. The dense din of Tokyo's Shinjuku station is one. The bright wood of Kyoto's traditional interiors is another. The wind on Setouchi Sea coastal shoots is a third. Each one calls for a different plan.
Our sound teams plan for those settings from the first scout. They pick the right mic setups, wireless kits, and monitor rigs to isolate what matters and tame what does not. Clean, broadcast-spec audio from each site is the baseline on every job we take.
Location Sound Services are our core on-set audio offering. Sound Recordists and Boom Operators work in close sync to hold dialogue quality across mixed conditions, from crowded street scenes in Osaka to quiet studio settings in Yokohama.
Wireless Audio Systems get tuned for Japan's frequency map. Our prep work plans around the RF crush in dense city blocks like central Tokyo. When the edit flags issues, we line up Post-Production Audio too. It covers dialogue replacement and sound design, so each cut meets broadcast tech specs.
Sound bookings follow Japan's production calendar closely. Senior recordists and full department crews thin out fast across Golden Week in May and the Obon week in August. We lock teams and recorder packages well ahead of those peaks. Day rates track the Japanese Labor Standards Act, so prep, turnaround, and overtime stay compliant. Every sound quote lists the 10 percent consumption tax in JPY, with English-language liaison kept open from the first scout onward.
Clean production sound protects the finish, not just the take. Our recordists tag timecode, ISO tracks, and sound reports that route straight into post. That hand-off feeds audio houses such as Tac System and OmnibusJapan, or the post wings at Imagica and Sony PCL. A Nagoya street scene and a Sapporo interior then conform cleanly. Tight set metadata cuts ADR and cleanup time, so the dub stage starts from organized material rather than guesswork.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless microphone systems do you use?
We use industry-top wireless systems. These include Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid, Sennheiser EW-D and 6000 series, and Wisycom MTP40S. Each one works across many frequency ranges. That keeps recording clean and free of interference anywhere in Japan.
Can you handle multi-camera productions with complex audio needs?
Yes. We focus on multi-camera setups, with multi-track recorders that handle 8-32 channels at once. Each talent gets a personal wireless microphone, backed by boom coverage and plant mics as needed. We sync it all via timecode for smooth post-prod.
Do you provide audio services for challenging locations?
Yes, fully. Our sound teams have deep experience in hard acoustic settings. These range from windy outdoor sites and echoing old buildings to crowded public spaces and remote natural ground. We use special methods and gear to catch clean audio in any condition.
What post-production audio services do you offer?
We offer full audio post-prod. This covers dialogue editing and cleanup, ADR recording in our studios, foley and sound effects, sound design, and music editing. We then build a final mix for cinema, broadcast, or streaming. Our team works with all major formats, including Dolby Atmos.
