Hirose Yuya 1st Album "Focus" Release Event at Animate Ikebukuro Main Store

Animate Ikebukuro Main Store in Ikebukuro will host a release event for Hirose Yuya's 1st Album "Focus". This event celebrates the album's release and will feature a mini-live performance and a special handshake event.

The venue for the event is "animate hall BLACK" located on the 9th floor of the Animate Ikebukuro Main Store's North Building. Participation tickets will be distributed to customers who purchase the album on the day of the event.

Event Content

The mini-live will showcase Hirose Yuya's performance. To enter the priority viewing area for the mini-live, an "Entry Ticket with Priority Viewing Area Number" is required. However, if space permits after attendees with tickets have entered, the rear area may be opened as a free viewing area. For those wishing to attend the free viewing, please arrive at the venue 15 minutes before the event starts. Please note that space is limited and attendance cannot be guaranteed. Following the mini-live, a "Benefit Ticket" event will take place, allowing attendees to participate in a rock-paper-scissors game with Hirose Yuya. Depending on the outcome of the game (wins, losses, or draws), participants can receive various benefits, including bromides, A5 clear files, and a B5 panel with a handwritten signature for three consecutive draws.

Participation Method and Precautions

To participate in the event, "Entry Ticket with Priority Viewing Area Number" and "Benefit Ticket" are necessary. These will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to customers who simultaneously purchase specific album sets (either "1st Album 'Focus' [Limited Edition A] + [Regular Edition]" or "1st Album 'Focus' [Limited Edition B] + [Regular Edition]") at the special sales booth within the venue on the event day. Sales begin at the store's opening time, but distribution will end once the limited number of tickets is reached.

The "Entry Ticket with Priority Viewing Area Number" will be randomly numbered and limited to one per person. "Benefit Tickets" will be provided based on the number of sets purchased. Securing tickets through reservations or holds is not possible. Please be aware that these tickets will not be reissued under any circumstances, including loss or theft.
