How This Pair Actually Operates

Scheduling Pressure Points

Lunch and workweek pressure

The cleanest live band overlaps a lunch window for both cities, so the nominal overlap is more fragile than the raw offset suggests. Mumbai and Sapporo both align to a broadly standard office workweek, so the bigger risk is slot quality, not a hidden weekend mismatch.
