Shinjuku's Secret Sound?
I'm heading to Belle Salle Shinjuku Ground next week for a conference. Heard it's massive, but the online stuff only shows the fancy event halls. Anyone know about the acoustics in the smaller rooms… more
Belle Salle is usually pretty decent, sound-wise. They're geared towards corporate events, so they should have invested in decent acoustics, especially in their smaller rooms. It's less likely to be a total disaster than some of the repurposed spaces you sometimes find. I'd still recommend reaching out to Belle Salle directly. Email them; their website probably has a contact form. Explain your concerns – being a musician adds weight to your need for good sound – and see what they say. They might even have specs or recordings of the smaller rooms' acoustics they can share.
Lost in Belle Salle Shinjuku
So I'm heading to Belle Salle Shinjuku Ground next week for a conference. Heard the building's pretty massive, a proper maze. Anyone been there? Seriously worried about getting lost trying to find… more
Yeah, Belle Salle Shinjuku is a monster. I've been to a few events there, and it's always a bit of a scramble. Download their floor plan before you go – seriously, do it now. Print it out if you’re old school like me. Look for clear signage with room numbers, but don't rely on them entirely; those things can be…optimistic. Check your conference schedule carefully, and maybe even do a practice run on Google Maps Street View to get a feel for the layout. That building is so big, it’s got its own micro-climate. Good luck, you'll need it!
