AUDIENCE SERVICE GUIDE
17 specialized services to fill every event to capacity. Music, theater, business, sports — we deliver the perfect audience.
Family Romance's audience stand-in services are divided into 17 specialized categories based on event type. Since the expected audience and reactions differ entirely between a music concert and a business seminar, we assign staff who are well-versed in each genre.
This page introduces all 17 services organized into three groups. If you are unsure which service is best for your event, please feel free to contact us. After hearing about your event's content and goals, our coordinator will recommend the ideal plan.

Professional
AUDIENCE SERVICE GUIDE
Organized into Music & Entertainment, Ceremonies & Showcases, and Sports & Other — we arrange the perfect staff for your event type.
From headbanging at visual kei concerts to quiet appreciation at ballet performances, our staff master the atmosphere each genre demands.
From a handful at a multi-band show to hundreds at a major festival. Adjustable in single-person increments to match your event scale.
Our professional stand-in service can solve these challenges.

Despite all the preparation, a sparse audience deflates performers. Empty seats dampen the remaining audience's enthusiasm too, creating a vicious cycle that undermines the entire event.

20 to 30 tickets per performer. Even after exhausting friends and family, the quota remains unmet, and you keep buying the shortfall yourself. Instead of focusing on your craft, ticket sales consume your time and energy.

No laughter, scattered applause, no encores. Despite the high quality of the performance, audience reactions are muted, leaving both performers and organizers feeling frustrated and unfulfilled.

A record label representative, sponsor, or media outlet is attending a crucial show. A packed house conveys momentum, but you are anxious about filling the venue on your own.

For corporate product launches and large-scale festivals, you need 100 to 300 attendees. Internal mobilization falls short, and you need to arrange quality participants from outside the organization.

Days before the event, fans cancel and corporate invitees drop out. You need to fill the gaps urgently or the event cannot proceed — a critical situation requiring immediate action.
Our stand-in services can be utilized in a wide variety of events and situations.

Natural energy at solo gigs, multi-band events, and festivals, matched to each music genre. Also used for meeting ticket quotas and creating full-house impressions for inspections.

Attend plays, musicals, dance performances, and reading shows with proper viewing manners while supporting performers with applause and standing ovations.

Attend corporate-hosted events such as product launches, exhibitions, press conferences, and grand openings as business professionals. Can also ask prepared questions or take notes.

Sports cheering squads, restaurant queue staging, streaming and music video extras, handshake event line-up — used across a wide variety of settings.

Attend new store openings and facility launch events as visitors, creating an opening-day buzz. We form queues that attract passersby and act as attendees at preview events, powerfully supporting your initial customer acquisition efforts.

We arrange staff to participate as extras in YouTube streams, music video shoots, and film or drama productions. They follow the director's instructions precisely, contributing to production quality. Age, gender, and dress specifications are accommodated free of charge to deliver talent that matches your work's aesthetic.

Expert audience members fill your venue
"As an indie band, we face a 30-ticket quota every solo gig. After exhausting all our friends, we used the audience service. Staff came in black outfits matching our genre and energized the show with headbanging and vocal support. The whole band's morale soared, and our organic audience has been growing since."
"We arranged 120 attendees for our new product launch. Everyone wore business casual and asked prepared questions naturally during the Q&A. The venue looked packed on media cameras, and subsequent coverage was favorable. Extremely satisfied, including the cost performance."
"I requested 10 audience members for my daughter's piano recital so the seats wouldn't look empty. Thanks to the staff who gave warm applause, my daughter seemed to relax and performed better than ever. I will never forget her smile when she said, "I'm so happy so many people came to listen.""
"We arranged 15 staff as a cheering squad for a regional pro wrestling event. They brought banners, called out wrestler names, and cheered along with the flow of the match. The wrestlers commented, "The support was amazing for a regional show," and as a fan, that made me proud."
Contact us and our coordinator will recommend the best service after hearing about your event's content, genre, scale, and schedule. Even a rough category like "music concert," "theater," or "corporate event" is enough for us to guide you.
Yes. For example, a combined event with a music stage, food area, and exhibition corner — we can assign appropriate staff to each area. Combining different genre services within a single event is also possible.
You can request as few as one person. We welcome even cases where you just need 1 or 2 extra attendees for a small showcase or salon concert. Of course, we also handle large-scale mobilizations of up to 500 people.
Since our founding, there has not been a single case of discovery. Staff who understand the genre's culture behave naturally, and thorough pre-event briefing on dress code and behavior patterns makes them indistinguishable from genuine audience members.
Depending on staff availability, we can discuss increasing the number. For reductions, we follow our cancellation policy. Contacting us with ample lead time makes flexible adjustments easier.
The base rate is ¥8,000 for 2 hours. Beyond 2 hours, an extension fee of ¥2,000 per 30 minutes applies. For half-day or full-day events, we may offer package pricing — please feel free to inquire.
Music Concert Audience is the most frequently used, accounting for about 35% of all requests — driven by steady demand from indie bands and underground idol groups facing ticket quotas. Corporate Event Mobilization follows at about 20%, and Theater Audience at about 15%. Restaurant queue stand-in is mainly spot-use for grand openings but has a notably high repeat rate. Sports cheering demand is growing, particularly from amateur sports teams at regional tournaments.
Yes, it is possible. For example, you can request 40 attendees for a corporate product launch in the morning and 20 audience members for a band concert in the evening on the same day. We arrange separate staff suited to each event, so there is no need to worry about dress or behavior transitions. When combining multiple arrangements on the same day, coordination fees may be discounted.
We have registered staff in all 47 prefectures. We can arrange local staff even for regional events.
