Watching the Stream

Buy a copy of any version of the "Hajimari wa Kimi no Sora" CD. There'll be a code you'll need to redeem to get access to the stream, and you can redeem it at any point before the archive expires.

Look for the side of the slip that says "購入者限定配信視聴コード" at the top and "MixBox" in the middle. (The other side is a code to apply to attend the event in person—see the next section.)

Redeeming the code:

  • Go to https://mixbox.live/campaign/023
  • Enter the serial code (the field will be open starting from 17:30).
  • If you're having problems (can't enter the code or can't view the video): try changing your time zone to Japan time, using a VPN to Japan, or both.

Attending In Person

Update 2021-04-27: the event will no longer have an audience, due to the state of emergency in Tokyo. The original information is left below.

To attend in-person, you'll need to enter and win a ticket through a lottery. The CD includes a code to enter the lottery (separate from the stream viewing code).

The side with this code has "会場参加抽選応募券" at the top and the following application URL in the middle.

Online Meet & Greets and Autograph Sessions

Official news post:

ニュース|「ラブライブ!スーパースター!!」公式サイト
『ラブライブ!スーパースター!!』Liella! デビューシングル「始まりは君の空」リリース記念オンラインイベント開催決定!!

These will use the WithLIVE mobile app (available on iOS and Android), and participants will be chosen by lottery.

To enter the lottery for a given session, buy from the corresponding shop, and you'll get a slip that'll let you enter the lottery online. For Animate and Gamers, you can use each code for either a meet & greet or the autograph session, but not both.

Make sure you get your CD in time for the application deadlines. All of them except Amazon only ship to JP addresses, so you'll need to use a forwarding service like Tenso or Blackship if you live outside of Japan.

Important if you're ordering from Amazon JP: make sure the item has "【Amazon.co.jp限定】" in the title. If it doesn't, it won't include a code for the video call.
