*Please refrain from bringing in items that obstruct your view, such as message boards, into the venue as they will be a nuisance to other customers.

If staff are found to be causing a nuisance to other customers, they may be warned.

*Participants bringing fans, boards, etc. are not permitted.

*If participants are elementary school students or older, one "Real High Touch Event Participation Ticket" will be required per person.

*If a preschool child is participating, there will be only one preschool child per parent.

*If you are participating multiple times, please line up at the end of the line each time.

<Team & Group Shot Photo Session>

*You cannot specify poses or facial expressions for the members. In addition, making them hold or wear objects is also prohibited. The designated poses will be announced at the venue on the day.

*For the "Team & Group Shot Photo Session," members will be divided into two teams, A and B, of 4 people each, and photos will be taken of your group (up to 4 people). Please check the member composition of each team and choose your preferred team, A or B, when you receive your participation ticket.

(For example, if you are participating in a group of four people, you will need four reward tickets, one per person for each of the four people.)

*For customers participating in the team and group photo session, one representative customer will be asked to take the photos using their device. Taking photos using multiple devices is not permitted.

*Customers can participate in the team and group photo session even if they are alone.

*Staff will take your camera-equipped mobile phone, smartphone, or tablet device. You will not be allowed to take photos with other devices (instax, digital cameras, film cameras, single-lens reflex cameras, etc.). Please make sure you can launch the camera app immediately before lining up for the special event.

* Film cameras, digital cameras, and other specialized photography equipment cannot be used. Please note that we do not provide mobile phones with cameras. We will take great care in handling your equipment, but please note that we cannot be held responsible for any damage that may occur.

*The camera mode must be the normal one when taking photos. The use of apps, etc. is prohibited.

*If you are participating multiple times, please line up at the end of the line again.

*Touching members, intentionally approaching specific members, going around directly behind members, and sitting/crouching are all prohibited.

*If participants are elementary school age or older, one "Team & Group Shot Photo Session Participation Ticket" will be required per person.

*If a preschool child is participating, there will be one preschool child per parent. When taking photos, the parent or guardian should hold the child in their arms or have them sit on their lap.

*Please note that you are not allowed to bring any hand luggage during the photo shoot. Any items that staff deem dangerous will be temporarily kept in custody before the shoot. You will also not be allowed to bring fans, boards, etc.

*If you are using an iPhone device (or if you are using a device other than an iPhone that has iOS installed), please hand the camera over to the staff member who will receive the camera with the home screen displayed, not with the camera turned on. The staff member will check and operate the screen recording and audio recording functions to make sure they are not operating. Since the screen recording function will not start unless the device is operated for the purpose of recording the screen, if the screen recording function is operating when the staff member checks the device after collecting the bonus ticket, it will be deemed to be an illegal act of intentionally attempting to record a video of the shooting bonus and disrupting the smooth operation and progress of the event, and the recording function will be stopped and the device will be returned to you without taking a photo of the bonus event. In that case, the bonus ticket will be collected as it is and will not be returned, so please be careful. All data taken during or after the shooting with recording actions other than still images = video recording, audio recording, screen capture function (e.g. iOS Live Photos function, screen recording function, etc.) = turned on will be deleted, and only the device will be returned to you as it is.

*Please make sure to turn off the "preview shooting" function on your Xperia mobile device. To check the setting status, check "Preview shooting" from the "Premium Auto" settings menu. Shooting is not possible when it is set to "Auto." Be sure to set it to "Disabled" (OFF) or shoot in normal shooting mode. In order to check the settings, the order in which we guide you to shoot may change in some cases.

*If the on-site staff suspects 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 operations on your device, be sure to save your work and close the app before lining up, and line up with no apps running other than the camera. (Please operate the device yourself before taking the photo. We are not responsible for any data loss caused by closing the app.)

*As a general rule, you cannot take a photo again. However, staff may ask you to take a photo again at their discretion. In that case, we will take the photo again and then completely delete the first photo data. If you are using an iPhone, please also delete it from the "Recently Deleted Files" folder. In particular, if you leave the special event space, we will not be able to assist you even if you come back, so please understand this in advance and be sure to check for any problems immediately after taking the photo.

*We do not recommend using the flash/strobe function on smartphones, tablets, etc. If the image becomes washed out or dark when shooting in auto mode, we cannot retake the image, so we recommend that you turn off the flash function and set it to a mode that allows you to shoot in natural light.

*Please turn off the live function mode on your smartphone and hand it over to a member of staff.

*Depending on the angle, staff and equipment may appear in the background. Please note that you cannot move the shooting location.

*Please note that customers who have finished taking photos or customers who are not the subject of the photo shoot are not allowed to meet or stand near the photo location.
