To commemorate the release of NiziU’s Korean 1st mini album "Sour Grapes," which is the first in about a year and a half, an in-person event will be held in Osaka on November 14. The event will be held in two parts: Part 1 is an in-person autograph session event for 80 winners, in which 50 autograph winners and 30 audience winners can participate, and Part 2 is a photo event where you can take a two-shot wide Polaroid photo with the winning member. Among these, the autograph session in Part 1 is a "Korean-style autograph session" that comes with photo time, a lottery, a mini stage, and a send-off event, making it a luxurious event. In addition, the benefits for applicants and winners are substantial: all applicants will receive an applicant-exclusive photo card, and even applicants who do not win the event will receive a gift. Furthermore, there will be winner-exclusive benefits for the winners, and birthday photo cards celebrating member MAYUKA’s birthday are also scheduled to be distributed. Those who wish to participate in the event can apply through the dedicated application site on the "MAKESTAR" homepage.
