Availability tightens around December and the summer wedding season, so the most in-demand acts in Japan are often booked six to twelve months ahead. Bands based close to your venue usually quote less, because travel time and any overnight costs are built into the fee. Ask what a quote covers before comparing two acts: some include PA and stage lighting, others price them separately.

Party bands in Japan play popular music across several decades, from Motown and classic rock to current chart hits, adjusting the setlist and energy to suit the room. Also called function bands, these acts usually run to 3 to 6 musicians and are booked for weddings, birthdays, corporate functions and private parties.
Set structure varies more than most people expect. A typical evening booking is two 45-minute sets with a break, and many bands supply a DJ playlist to cover the gap so the music never stops. Confirm how early the act needs access for setup, whether the venue has a sound limiter, and whether the band will learn a specific song for a first dance.
Rates for function bands in Japan range from ¥35,000 to ¥620,000+, with the average booking at ¥180,000. Band size is the biggest factor: a three-piece costs less than a six-piece with brass or a second vocalist. Performance length, travel distance and whether the act supplies its own PA and lighting all move the figure.
The average price is ¥180,000 (JPY), with most priced from ¥35,000 to ¥620,000+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

D’Z!RE Band
"Thank you so much. We had a great night. You guys are really good, thank you for your efforts in supporting us."
Tom Sartori
"BOOK THIS BAND!
Booking with Tom was singlehandedly the best decision we could have made for our wedding!! We went back and forth between a DJ or a band, and looking back now I can't imagine our wedding would have been half as fun if we booked with a DJ. Tom and his band absolutely ROCKED and people STILL compliment them when talking about our wedding. They kept the dance floor packed all night!! They were so accommodating with all of our requests, and made everything happen so seamlessly on the day of. One of my favorite parts was that with our first dance (we wanted the original played) they had the fiddle player playing along with it - this made it so much more special! Thanks so much Tom, y'all seriously ROCKED! I wish we could get married again just to party with y'all again!!! :)"
Benga - Party Band
"We recently got married and the Benga Band, with Tessa as the singer, created an absolutely fantastic party! We were already jumping and dancing by song number 2. We booked the band with a DJ; they played music all evening. And the DJ works with preferred music, so the roof completely came off in both cases! Highly recommended."
Kids in America-Totally 80s tribute band
"O wow!! They played at the Dogwood Festival in Statesville, NC and they were awesome!
You could tell they love what they do. They ROCK it out, and they sound so good!! They seem like they are straight outta 80’s!! Their presentation of each song is amazing and sounds very close to the original artists.. I strongly suggest giving them a listen ♥️♥️"
