Please describe your proposed solution.

In Japan, there are not so many people who are familiar with the Cardano Ecosystem. Also, there are a lot of people who think that Cardano has no Defi or NFTs. This is because we haven't been holding exhibitions or talk sessions at significant events for the non-crypto or people who recently joined the crypto space.

This causes almost all people in the NFT space in Japan to remain in the Ethereum ecosystem and prevents them from knowing about our ecosystem.

At Shibuya Festival (24/4/28-30), the annual event in Japan in May, which was over 12K, including many no-crypto people last year, a well-known event for pop, fashion, and music culture and NFTs, we'll promote our ecosystem and CNFTs.

This event will be hosted by Shibuya Culture Scramble: A Digital Magazine for Shibuya Culture and NAVY INC: Audio Machine Agency company. And this event also has a great connection with a lot of the stakeholders. The supporters of this event are, for example, the Shibuya Cast: Tokyu department, atmos: A well-known Sneaker shop creating Japanese Tokyo-style pop sneaker culture, and MIRRORLIAR FILMS: A movie project such as Takayuki Yamada, Shinnosuke Abe, Japanese famous actors leading, etc. For more partnerships for this event, see the picture below.

Next year, we will hold Cardano and CNFT showcasing / conference / exhibition at this event; in this event, we plan to have a talk event with PAIMA Studio, Cardano Ambassadors, Socious, Emurgo, and JPG. Store, etc, and showcase successful CNFT projects like Ore Ore Ore collaborating with the fashion brands in Japan.

We'll focus on the usecase what people can do using Cardano Blockchain not so much focus on technical things.

This will bring many profits for our ecosystem like below.

1. We can have rare chance to have networking enterprises which are not in Cryptospace
2. We can have the chance to collaborate with music / fashion / art related stakeholders in hot Japan Culture space
3. People who will join event can recognize that Cardano has real use cases and think about how they can apply Cardano to your work and activities

We believe that these profits are very significant for the further spread of Cardano in the Japanese real world.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community.

How the Project Brings Value to the Cardano Community:

1. Having rare chance to have networking enterprises /people which are not in Cryptospace
2. Have the chance to collaborate with music / fashion / art / NFT related stakeholders in hot Japan Culture space
3. People who will join event can recognize that Cardano has real use cases and think about how they can apply Cardano to your work and activities
4. Through 1-4 Promote the adoption of Cardano among Japanese enterprises.

Measuring the Impact:

• We will track the number of people who join this event
• We will track the number of new collaborations and projects initiated during or as a result of the events.
• We will follow up with enterprises which will be collaborate through the event and propose to make a new Cardano use-case

Sharing Outputs and Opportunities:

We will share the outputs and opportunities of our project through the following methods:

• During and after the completion of the project, we plan to spread its outputs. This will include providing monthly and milestone reports, as well as regular town hall meetings.
• We will share information about the project's outputs, impact, and opportunities with community members. The close-out report and video will be publicly available on YouTube. Additionally, we will share updates on our website and social media platforms.
• Our event detail can be released at the Shibuya Culture Scramble
• We will also engage with the community through community forums and social media platforms, providing regular updates and insights.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

We're the team with a certain successful record for physical events and Cardano events.

We've held a lot of Cardano/non-Cardano events, and our records prove that we have the ability to hold events.
