CHAI Booking Agency Profile
Since their debut, CHAI have been linked to ecstatic happiness. The Japanese four-piece, which consists of identical twins MANA (lead vocals and keys) and KANA (guitar), drummer YUNA and bassist-lyricist YUUKI, has earned a reputation for their live performances' upbeat displays of inventive and eclectic songwriting, impressive musicianship, matching outfits and sheer solace. CHAI's avowed goal to undermine Japan's sometimes oppressive standards of beauty and cuteness is at the heart of their music. Following the release of their second album PUNK, CHAI embarked on a journey that took them to music festivals all over the world, including Primavera Sound and Pitchfork Music Festival, as well as on tour with indie rock veterans Whitney and Mac DeMarco.
Like all musicians, CHAI had to reconsider the foundation of their lives and work. However, CHAI saw this as an opportunity to alter their workflow and take their music in an exhilaratingly novel direction. The exuberance of their live performances had previously been captured by CHAI using their maximalist recordings, with the audiences' reactions in mind. Instead, CHAI concentrated on writing the slightly more subdued and introspective types of songs they enjoy listening to at home — where, for the first time, they recorded all of the music. The global shutdown gave CHAI more time than ever to think about their song ideas as they worked on Garageband and exchanged them over phone calls and Zoom, utilizing their restrictions as a strength..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking CHAI to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like CHAI in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking CHAI or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
CHAI's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking CHAI for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book CHAI, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing CHAI. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate CHAI booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book CHAI for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final CHAI booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will CHAI charge for an event. An example fee to book CHAI is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the CHAI agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The CHAI manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book CHAI for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the CHAI agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book CHAI, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the CHAI booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for CHAI, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
