Additionally, it will also include a limited in-game card and application tickets for the Beit and High×Joker CD release celebration event, happening 16 August 2015. The event will feature not only the members of the two units but Shuugo Nakamura, who plays Teru Tendo, as the emcee too. As for the limited in-game card, it will be given out via a serial code. The card’s rank is SR+, and players can choose one idol from the unit of the respective CD they have purchased.
