Hope the wolves will play all their home games at home this time not in Singapore or some other Asian megacity like they did in 2016. They need to build a loyal fan base in Japan and 3-4 home games per season isn't enough, they need to play all 7-8 at home.
Otherwise bring a couple of games to kansai or kyushu if sanzaar really wants to have a look at other markets.

This game could be an absolute massacre, although being round 1, the Hurricanes may not send some of their All Blacks up to Japan. Expect the likes of Beauden Barrett, the Saveas and Dane Coles to not travel to Japan.
