Comment

The value doubles after a year of holding and the amount you get makes it very attractive. The choice of using it for movies or as a Tosho card which can be used at different shops should make it easy to use. The Pia premium service is probably a nice addition if you buy tickets from Pia. Not all events will have the premium perks, but if there something you want to attend that is applicable, it's definitely valuable!
