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.

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!!! :)"
Diboa Bossa Nova
"Diboa made our wedding day truly special!
We can't recommend Diboa enough. They drove all the way to San Vicente de la Barquera to play at our wedding, which was so kind of them and something we really appreciated.
Their music was beautiful and full of atmosphere, exactly what we had hoped for. One of our favourite moments was our first dance, which they played especially for us: it started with a slow, romantic song and then switched to a more upbeat one, so all our guests joined us on the dance floor. It was such a joyful moment that we'll never forget.
Communication was clear and easy from start to finish, and they always responded quickly, which made planning stress-free.
We were so happy with them and would recommend Diboa to anyone looking for live music for their big day. They really make the day extra special and give it a warm, wonderful atmosphere. Thank you so much!"
The Skankings
"Fantastic. 👌
Great tunes, played by truly great musicians who really enjoy what they’re doing.
Got everybody dancing and kept them on the dance floor. Played a mixture of ska and reggae as requested, and they didn’t disappoint. They really made it a memorable night. Truly professional, they weren’t long setting up and they didn’t miss a beat. Would definitely hire them again and will wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody who wants their night to run smoothly and be one for everyone to remember.
Thank you all so much. You made my night, and everyone else’s !
Much appreciated. ❤️"
