As a rule, the Studio may be used for voice recording, voice lessons, instrument practice, and similar purposes.
Use for the following purposes is strictly refused.
Shoes are not allowed inside the studio. Please remove your shoes at the entrance and use the shoe rack provided. Inside the studio, please wear slippers or socks.
Please vacate the studio completely within your reserved time, including setup, teardown, and cleanup. Unauthorized overtime is strictly prohibited. If you remain past your end time, an overtime fee may be charged.
Smoking is prohibited throughout the studio. To protect the equipment, only lidded drinks (e.g. bottled drinks) may be brought in. As a rule, eating inside the booth is prohibited.
Visiting while wearing strong perfume or anything else that gives off a strong scent is prohibited. As the studio is an enclosed space, we ask for your cooperation to prevent odors transferring to the equipment and out of consideration for the next guests.
Before leaving, please return equipment and furnishings to their original positions and do a light cleanup. Please dispose of any trash in the bins provided, or take it all home with you.
If you use a student discount plan, please note the following.
Please be sure to show your student ID on the day of your recording session.
If you are unable to show your student ID, we regret that you will be asked to pay the difference between the discounted and regular rates on site. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
[Up to 14 days before] No cancellation fee.
[13 to 7 days before] 30% of the reservation fee will be charged.
[6 days to 1 day before] 50% of the reservation fee will be charged.
[Same-day cancellation or no-show] 100% of the reservation fee will be charged.
No cancellation fee applies when severe weather or a natural disaster — such as a typhoon or an official weather warning — makes it impractical for you to reach the studio, or for the studio to operate.
If a typhoon is forecast to approach, or public transport (trains, buses, etc.) is expected to be disrupted, please contact us as early as possible before your reservation date.
If you become unable to reach the studio on the day of your reservation, please contact us immediately at the emergency contacts below.

We make an overall judgment based on the operating status of public transport and any weather warnings issued for the area (Hamamatsu, Shizuoka). If the studio judges that a visit was possible, a cancellation fee may still apply. If you have any questions, feel free to ask when booking or shortly before your session.

| 14 days before the reserved date | 0% of the fee |
| 13 days before the reserved date | 30% of the fee |

The following acts are prohibited. If discovered, you will be asked to leave immediately and refused future use.

If your right to use the Studio is revoked, no fees already paid will be refunded, and all future reservations and use will be refused.
If you damage or soil the Studio's equipment, facilities, floors, walls, etc., intentionally or through negligence (including carelessness), we will charge the cost of restoration (repair or replacement at actual cost) plus compensation for lost business. This does not apply to damage from normal wear and tear or force majeure — but please report any damage immediately.
If cleanup beyond normal cleaning becomes necessary — for example, spilled drinks or significant soiling — a separate cleaning fee will be charged.
The Studio accepts no liability for damage arising from any of the following.
You are responsible for clearing all necessary rights for any music, scripts, images, audio, or other materials you bring in. The Studio accepts no liability for rights infringement, unauthorized use, or any other dispute with third parties.
