Studio abRiR

Studio abRiR (アブリールスタジオ) is a recording studio operated by Abrir Co., Ltd. (株式会社アブリール), located in Kinuta, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. According to its official website, the studio opened in 1997 and has since produced and delivered numerous albums and sound sources spanning many genres. It is situated about a seven-minute walk from both Seijogakuen-mae and Soshigaya-Okura stations on the Odakyu Odawara Line. The studio is equipped for high-resolution audio production, maintaining both the latest Pro Tools HDX 2020 and the older version 10 for compatibility, and supports high-resolution sound source production on both versions. It also has Blackmagic video cards, enabling recording sessions where the control room and recording booth view the same video simultaneously — useful for scoring (gekiban) recording. For scoring production, the studio handles music mixing in theatrical 5.1 surround for both live-action and animated works. It rents instruments such as drums and MIDI keyboards, and can link the fourth-floor reception space with the fifth-floor control room and booth to allow simultaneous recording of a band lineup including drums, bass, keyboards, electric guitar, and scratch vocals. Recently it has also been used for livestreaming concerts from the recording studio. Pricing is described as reasonable, with a system where clients choose by the engineer in charge, and each engineer has their own package rates. Discount rates are available for long-term use such as album production, to be discussed at the time of application. For requests involving large recording lineups or wanting everyone to record simultaneously, the studio can also book and negotiate with external studios with which it has close relationships. It also accepts location recording at halls and rehearsal studios. The company profile lists the corporate name as Abrir Co., Ltd., with headquarters at 8-21-7 Kinuta, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.
