How do you join and renew a FAMILY CLUB membership without losing your member number?

With FAMILY CLUB, the first decision is not how much to pay but which artist’s fan club to join. The portal lists clubs by artist, and enrollment starts on the page for the selected club. NEWS’s official enrollment page provides a detailed example with exact figures, but those terms should not be assumed to apply to another artist without checking that club’s own page.

How enrollment works

In the NEWS example, applicants enter an email address and accept the terms; a follow-up message then provides a link to the form for the prospective member’s details. After checking the name and personal information, the applicant pays by card, Pay-easy, or convenience-store payment. The page lists a ¥1,000 enrollment fee, ¥4,000 annual dues, and ¥140 handling fee, for ¥5,140 total for this club. Membership begins on the first day of the month after approval and lasts one year.

Email is part of the process, not a minor detail. The NEWS page warns that messages may be delayed or undelivered to some iCloud and Gmail accounts. Before applying, allow mail from the official domain, check spam folders, and keep access to the registered inbox until the member number arrives. If a message does not show up, FAMILY CLUB’s help center separates questions about enrollment, payments, membership-card delivery, and renewals.

Benefits—and what membership does not guarantee

The NEWS page lists a membership card, newsletter, birthday card, videos, email updates, access to an exhibition space, opportunities to apply for program participation, and priority ticket applications. The same page explains that presales apply only to certain performances: membership lets a person apply; it does not guarantee a ticket. Some emails and videos are sent irregularly, and benefits can change. The physical card is mailed, with the page estimating about two to three weeks after the application is completed.

Renewal dates matter more than reminders

Members can check their expiration date in their account. FAMILY CLUB says that once the renewal window has passed, membership expires and the old number cannot be restored through renewal or rejoining; anyone wishing to return must submit a new application. Check the date in the account instead of relying only on a reminder email. If an address or email has changed, update it in the relevant account area and confirm which mailing services apply to that club.

The safest route is to open the official list of clubs, choose the artist, and read that club’s fee, benefits, payment method, and renewal rules. NEWS is a useful example of how the portal works, not a price list for all members. The profile below links to FAMILY CLUB’s official entry point and assistance center.
