Please note
You will meet and receive autographs from all members one by one in sequence.
There is no handshake or hi touch at this event.
Every eligible copy you purchase will be signed, and the members will write their signature only.
You are welcome to talk with the members while you are in front of them, within the allotted time. Once that time is up, staff will let you know, and your turn will end even if you are in the middle of a conversation. Because the signatures are done by hand, minor scuffs, marks or creases may occur during the process, and returns or exchanges are not possible.
If you are unable to collect your product at the venue on the day of the event, you may collect it at a later date from the store where you placed your reservation.
For details regarding the collection period and store hours, please check the store information page.
If you do not collect your product within the collection period, no refunds will be issued for any reason.
Only the person who made the purchase may attend. Your entry cannot be passed to anyone else, including family and friends.
Participation is only within the time designated by the organizer at each venue, and we cannot accommodate anyone arriving outside that window. The event will also end once the line runs out, so please come early.
Resale of signing event entry passes is strictly prohibited.
Smoking and drinking alcohol during the event are strictly prohibited.
Photography, video recording and audio recording of any kind, whether by camera, mobile phone or other device, are strictly prohibited at the signing.
Please refrain from making excessive requests to the members. Depending on the request, we may decline. If the conversation includes anything inappropriate, such as abuse directed at a member, questions that cannot be answered, demands for particular poses or expressions, or conduct against public decency, staff may end your turn at their discretion.
Please follow all instructions provided by the event staff regarding event operation.
Due to artist or operational circumstances, the event or parts of it may be canceled or changed without prior notice. In any case, no returns or refunds will be accepted for purchased products. Thank you for your understanding.
Travel, accommodation and any other costs of attending are the customer's responsibility. This applies even if the event is canceled.
