How to use

Using the app is incredibly easy

STEP1: Allow microphone usage

When you launch the app, a message will first appear asking you to allow "HELLO! Theater" to use the microphone (for audio recording).
This app uses acoustic communication to synchronize and play the caption guide, so please be sure to allow it.

STEP2: Check the app's functionality

Using a device other than the smartphone on which the app is installed, follow the steps below to check the app's functionality.

① Access https://www.hellotheater.info/

② Play the "HELLO! Theater Operation Check Video" at the bottom of the "HOME" page.

③ Follow the video's instructions to check the app's functionality.

Please note that our guarantee of the app's functionality during a performance is based on the assumption that you have completed this check.
Please be sure to perform this check in a location with a good network connection before you arrive at the venue.

STEP3: Enter the performance number

To use the caption guide for each performance, you need to enter the performance number and download the caption guide data.
Please find the number on the performance website, official X (formerly Twitter), or on a flyer at the theater, and enter it.
Note that this step uses data communication, so please complete it in a location with a good network connection.

STEP4: Select the guide language

When the performance number is entered correctly, you will be taken to the guide language selection screen.
Please select the language for the caption guide you wish to use.
(The available languages may vary depending on the performance. Please check the performance website or other sources for details.)

STEP5: Now, just wait in your seat!

Once you have completed the steps up to STEP 4, all you have to do is wait in your seat inside the theater.
The caption guide will automatically synchronize and play as the performance progresses from the start.
Also, this app does not use data communication to play the caption guide during the performance, so you can use it with your device set to airplane mode.

Please enjoy your theatrical experience with caption guides using HELLO! Theater.
