The May 2004 advert lists what Kintaro members would get: nationwide online play, personal data, detailed national rankings, AW points and chat messages. One box is left as question marks.

Kintaro: touch panel and AW card

Isuka's faction statistics are announced for mid-April: the share of players on each side, players at each rank, and each character's usage and win rate. Arcade and tournament listings had started in early March, updated from submissions. Rare AW-NET-only items are still being planned. Screenshots show Isuka's home page, the venue list and Guilty Gong.
