Each card was available in different theme that featured the group member photos such as Girly Style Collection, Vampire Style Collection and so on. Just like the soundtrack, the cards were also grouped in category as moon, snow and flower.

For first time use, the user was designated to choose the members and play "La Vie en Rose" to matching their tapping with the game and receive a cards pack. Along with tapping the colored objects (beat), user was given an option to play with video or a fixed image as the background. The videos were from the performances of the group Japanese commemoration showcase "Suki to Iwasetai" or simply from their music videos.
