Basic Info

These events will have two parts:

  1. Mini-live performance: This is free to watch (assuming there is space for you to stand). There will be a priority viewing area set up in front of the stage, but you must buy CD(s) to participate in and win a ticket to watch from there.
  2. Watashikai (meet & greet): Those who win the ticket for the priority viewing area will also be able to participate in this part of the event, which happens after the live performance. You will walk by all the members—with some time for you to greet them—and a random member will pass an event-exclusive greeting card to you.

Free Entry

If you only want to watch the live performance from outside of the priority viewing area, just stand somewhere you can see the stage and wait for the event to start. But:

  • It can get crowded, so it may be wise to arrive early. (I can't tell you how early, since it's not easy to predict.)
  • You may be asked to move somewhere else if you're blocking foot traffic for other customers of the mall.
  • If there is no space left, staff will restrict entry.

Lottery for Priority Viewing and Watashikai

If you want to try for the priority viewing area and watashikai, then you will need to buy at least one CD and win.

  • There will be a booth set up near the stage to buy CDs at.
  • For each CD you buy, you get one entry.
  • The lottery is done right after you pay for your order.
  • There may be a limit set on the number of CDs per order.
  • For each entry, you get either a "priority viewing area entry + watashikai participation ticket" or a square bromide (print) of the CD jacket illustration.
  • Even if you win the ticket multiple times, you will only be handed one, and you'll be given a number of bromides equal to the remainder of your entries.
  • If you want to try again, you need to go to the back of the CD ordering queue (if there is one).
  • There are a limited number of tickets.

Payment

  • You will be buying the CDs at the event venue directly, and both cash and credit card are available. (It's possible that it will switch to cash only if internet conditions are unfavorable.)
  • You can't use coupons, gift cards, point cards, and the like.
  • There will be no bonus merchandise included with the CDs (besides the ticket or bromide).

Entering with the event ticket

  • The event ticket will have a "reference number" (整理番号) on it. This number is random and determines the order of entry into the priority viewing area. (1 goes first, 2 goes second, etc.)
  • If you are late to the entry time, you may be asked to go to the back of the entry line regardless of what your number is. If you are very late, you may not be able to enter the priority viewing area at all.
  • If you would like to go in with someone, you can enter together, but it must be with the highest (latest) entry number you collectively have.
