[Notes about various special events]
«Two-shot photo session»
Two-shot photo session with one member
Please note that this two-shot photo session will involve the member and the customer sitting across from each other at a table.
- Please sit in the designated position and we will take your picture.
Our staff will guide you to your designated location, so please be sure to follow their instructions.
- Poses cannot be specified, and the poses for the members will be announced at a later date.
Holding items such as merchandise during photography is prohibited. Additionally, if you participate with items hanging from your clothing that staff deem inappropriate, you may be denied participation or asked to temporarily store your belongings.
The photoshoot will be a full-body shoot.
Only vertical orientation photography will be allowed.
・We will not accept any requests regarding the angle of view, etc.
Selfies and individual shots of members will not be taken.
Please note that you are not permitted to bring any electronic devices other than the device used for taking photos, such as mobile phones or smartwatches, into the fan event booth.
・For photos, staff will take your camera-equipped mobile phone, smartphone, or tablet device. Photographs cannot be taken with other devices (instax, digital cameras, film cameras, SLR cameras, etc.). Please make sure you are able to launch your camera app immediately before lining up.
- Photography equipment such as film cameras and digital cameras cannot be used. Please note that we do not provide mobile phones with cameras. We will handle mobile phones with care, but please understand that we cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur.
・Photographs will be taken using the standard camera on your smartphone. The use of photo apps is prohibited. We will not be responsible for any issues that arise when taking photographs using apps. Furthermore, we will not accept photographs taken with a standard angle of view (aspect ratio 4:3). We ask for your understanding.
Actions such as making members carry items, wear items, or squat are prohibited.
The acts of touching members, intentionally approaching specific members, moving directly behind members, and sitting or squatting are prohibited.
During the filming, participants are prohibited from bringing personal belongings. Please understand that items deemed dangerous by the staff will be temporarily held before filming. Participation with items such as fans or boards is also not allowed.
・iPhone users (and those using other iOS devices) should hand over their camera to the camera reception staff with the home screen displayed, not with the camera turned on. The staff will check and operate the screen recording and audio recording functions. Please note that the screen recording function will only activate if the device is operated for the purpose of recording. If the screen recording function is activated when the staff checks the device after collecting the bonus ticket, it will be deemed an attempt to intentionally record a video for the bonus event, disrupting the smooth running and progress of the event. The recording function will be disabled and the device will be returned to you without any recording of the bonus event. In this case, your participation in the bonus event will be void. Please be careful. If recording other than still images (such as video recording, audio recording, or screen capture functions (e.g., iOS Live Photos, screen recording, etc.)) is enabled during or after the event, all data captured will be deleted and the device will be returned to you.
Please ensure that the "pre-shooting" feature of the Xperia mobile device is always turned OFF. To check the settings, go to the [Premium Auto] settings menu and confirm [Pre-shooting]. Photography cannot be performed if it is set to [Auto]. Please make sure to set it to [Disabled] (OFF) or use the regular shooting mode. Please note that, in order to check the settings, the order of photography guidance may be adjusted accordingly.
・If on-site staff suspect that you are using a function other than the screen recording function, you may be asked to close all running apps. If you are performing any work on your device, be sure to save your work and close the app before lining up, and make sure that no apps other than the camera are running. (Please do this yourself before taking a photo. We are not responsible for any data loss that may occur due to closing apps.)
・Retakes are not permitted as a general rule. Staff may ask you to take a new photo at their discretion. In that case, the new photo will be taken first, and then the original photo data will be completely deleted. If you are using an iPhone, please also delete it from your recently deleted files folder. In particular, if you leave the special event space, we will not be able to assist you even if you return, so please understand this in advance and be sure to check for any problems after taking the photo before leaving the special event lane.
Using the flash/strobe function on smartphones and tablets is not recommended. If images turn out overexposed (white-out) or underexposed (dark) when shooting in auto mode, we cannot accommodate re-shooting. Therefore, please turn off the flash and set the mode to one that allows for shooting with ambient light.
Please turn off the smartphone's live function mode and hand it over to the staff.
Please be aware that staff and equipment may appear in the background depending on the angle. Additionally, moving the shooting location is not permitted.
・We will generally take photos that include the entire body of the members and customers, but depending on the situation on the day, we may have to adjust the angle of view so that their legs or shoulders are cut off.
Please be aware that customers who have finished their shoot or those who are not part of the shoot are not allowed to wait or stop near the shooting location.
We kindly ask for your cooperation to ensure a wonderful photo shoot can be achieved within the limited time available.
