Use this guide to set up crew chat, backup channels, and quick-call protocols before landing to ensure our moves, messages, and moments stay in sync.

• Japan is low-crime, high-surveillance; move clean

• Don’t film or photograph without permission

• Keep passport copy + hotel card on you

• Add Emergency local POC per city

• Use code “DURAG DOWN” in chat to regroup, no explanation needed

• Rendezvous = nearest 7-Eleven or train exit

7. CULTURE SYNC

Japan values:

• Timeliness (10 min early = on time)

• Cleanliness (no trash, no loud convos on transit)

• Composure (confidence is quiet)

Respect goes both ways; flex in your art, not your ego.

10. A WORD

Connection is culture. Communication is loyalty in motion.

Every ping, post, and plan builds our collective rhythm.

Keep it tight, stay aligned, and move like fam on a mission.
