Entry is offered through the McDonald's official app rewards program, My McDonald's Rewards. The taping is scheduled for November 21 at 19:30 somewhere in Tokyo. A live set image was published with the announcement. The October 2 start date coincides with Hamasaki's birthday. Separately, four collaboration goods are being released in sequence: a shirt, a long towel, a plate set of two, and a mug, each won by lottery through reward points. A special campaign website went live the same day. Hamasaki appears in a McDonald's uniform for the collaboration, according to KAI-YOU.","whyItMatters":"McDonald's is routing a concert taping and its merchandise lottery through an app rewards program rather than a ticketing vendor, which turns loyalty points into the entry mechanism for a 200-seat event.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eApplications for the four goods open on staggered dates.
