—From the Editorial Team—

In the May issue of Iolite Vol.19, we present the 'Web3.0 The Impact Award 2026,' selecting ten companies to watch in 2026 based on jury votes and criteria set by the Iolite editorial team.

We introduce companies recognized for their impact on Japanese society and markets, along with interviews with companies that Iolite particularly highlights.

Additionally, in 'The World's Money Loses Its Master,' we delve into the flow of funds in financial markets, the political influence on the Federal Reserve, and the reallocation of capital driven by AI, while also focusing on the awakening of 'Japanese stocks.'

The issue opens with an exclusive interview with Yuichiro Tamaki, a member of the House of Representatives and leader of the Democratic Party for the People, discussing his belief that cryptocurrencies should be central to Japan's growth strategy, the 'DAO-ization' of politics, and his vision of Japan beyond breaking down various 'barriers.'

In the main interview, we feature an exclusive conversation with Hassen Kuniyama, a former TBS TV announcer who ventured into independent entrepreneurship, discussing the 'essence of media' in an AI-dominated era and 'realistic investment strategies' for navigating an uncertain world. Now free from the weighty banner of a major mass media, he shares his perspective on how to convey the true value of irreversible technologies like AI and blockchain to society—delving into the core of storytelling that will shape the next generation.
