For Artists & Bands
Touring, recording, management, and release support — built around independent musicians.
App Dev Plus works directly with artists and bands at every career stage. Whether you're planning your first Japan tour, recording a live album, or figuring out the next strategic move — we provide hands-on, experienced support.
Is this you?
- You're an independent artist or band planning a tour in Japan
- You want professional live or studio recording but need someone to coordinate the whole process
- Your current management situation isn't working, or you don't have management yet
- You're releasing independently and need strategic help, not a full label deal
- You're an international artist navigating the Japanese market for the first time

How engagements work
Every artist relationship starts with a direct conversation. We'll talk through where you are, what you need, and what's realistic. From there we agree on scope — whether that's a single project or an ongoing working relationship.
- Project-based or ongoing — we work both ways
- Clear scope and transparent pricing before work begins
- No management commissions without a formal agreement
- You stay in control of your creative and business decisions
- We operate bilingually — no lost-in-translation moments with Japanese venues or promoters

- Deep relationships with Tokyo venues, promoters, and production crews
- Bilingual (English/Japanese) — we handle direct communication on your behalf
- Independent — no conflicts of interest with labels, agencies, or venues
