Kit mail has been on sale since 2009, but this year a new "3D hologram" is included. When you assemble the special kit that comes with the product and place it on the screen of your smartphone, the "examinee support artist" "DISH //" will appear, and you will be able to watch a stereoscopic image of the original support song "KLAP".
