When are my fans online if I live in Japan?

Nine in the evening in New York is ten or eleven in the morning in Tokyo, depending on daylight saving time in the United States. The Los Angeles evening lands in your early afternoon. Japan does not change its clocks, so the gap moves twice a year with the American and European ones, never with yours.

For a creator who likes working days, the American half is convenient: those fans are online while you are awake. The European half is the hard part. Nine in the evening in Berlin is four or five in the morning in Tokyo, and fans in the UK come online an hour after that. Nobody should answer those messages from bed, and a creator who tries usually answers them badly.

That is the work the chat team takes over. It writes in your voice around the clock, inside the tone and the hard limits you set down in writing before the start, and you can read the chat history whenever you want. You decide what is offered and at what price.

Your own hours stay yours. Filming and planning happen when they suit your day in Japan, not when a fan in Europe happens to be awake.
