What do you think about the current state of the Web 3.0 field?
Yoshihito Sato (hereinafter Sato): Recently, a system is being established in which NIDT is circulated within projects as a payment currency, such as the sale of the video NFT "eye to i" exclusively for NIDT payments and official goods exclusively for NIDT payments. In addition, the ties between NIDT and the entertainment field have finally been strengthened, with the sale of VIP seats exclusively for NIDT payments at WHITE SCORPION's first solo live (held on 9/8), and the development of VIP seats for other idol group (Rough x Rough) live performances with NIDT payments.
NIDT is not just a cryptocurrency with financial value, but by creating an environment that pursues utility so that it can be used to support idol groups by holding it, we are honestly embodying our basic idea of evolving idol activities and support activities more broadly using NIDT, with a focus on the idol groups belonging to our company.
In the future, we would like to introduce a system that allows NIDT holders and fans to experience the idol projects we promote more widely by more precisely designing the "fan rank" that visualizes the NIDT holding status as well as the performance of the idol's support activities, and we would also like to develop measures targeting overseas expansion.
I am convinced that the landscape seen from NIDT will change dramatically.
What kind of appeal do you want to deliver through your company's projects and services, and what do you want to achieve?
Sato: The mission of this idol project using NIDT is to "expand the idol activity field and support activities." As for idol activities, in addition to traditional activities such as live shows and events, the idol groups "WHITE SCORPION" and "IDOL3.0 PROJECT FINALIST" born from this project will be engaged in activities using Web3.0 technology (not only NIDT, but also NFT and metaverse, for example) in parallel. In addition, as for the support of idols, NIDT can be used for various services related to idol activities, and fans can participate in part of the management by voting, so we are expanding our unprecedented initiative of "growing the group together with the fans".
Among the measures mentioned in the white paper published at the time of the IEO, there are still themes that need to be adjusted, such as overseas expansion and tipping functions, but we would like to aim to expand the utility of NIDT by realizing them one by one. In particular, overseas expansion started from the awareness of the problem of spreading Japanese idol culture overseas, and I am convinced that if NIDT can be expanded overseas and acquire overseas NIDT holders, the view seen from NIDT will change significantly. I am very much looking forward to WHITE SCORPION's appearance at "WebX2024" to be held at the end of August being one of the major points.
