Fanplus Inc.

Fanplus Inc. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Gen Sato), which operates fan sites for music artists, is pleased to announce that it will be conducting an IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) for the "FPL Token" issued by its collaborative partner, Fanpla Inc. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takemitsu Hirai), on the "Coincheck IEO" operated by Coincheck, Inc., one of Japan's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. Applications to purchase FPL Tokens will begin on October 21st.

[Background and project overview]
The music industry has long developed based on the principle of "unit price x number of fans" - sales of CDs and video packages, live box office revenue, and fan club membership fees. Within this structure, many artists have produced fantastic works and delivered moving live experiences. In recent years, digitalization and changes in the market environment have created opportunities to provide more diverse and rich fan experiences than ever before.

Currently, the passion of fans, which cannot be expressed in numbers, is growing stronger and stronger, and there is a growing possibility that the value of "creative fan activities" such as spreading information on social media and daily activities to support artists can be returned in the form of more concrete experiences and projects. Based on our many years of experience in providing a point of contact between artists and fans through operating fan clubs, we believe that an environment is needed that can utilize the form of fan support in a more multifaceted way. While valuing existing systems, we would like to expand them further and create a world where support is returned in the form of new experiences and value.

The "FPL Token" we are working on is a means to further expand the value of existing fan activities and develop them into new experiences. In addition to traditional forms of support, we will create a more diverse and sustainable world of music experiences through "circulating, visible tokens." The value obtained through tokens can extend to digital assets such as premium live tickets, highly rare original goods, and avatar items in the metaverse space, as well as planning funds for the next production or new project.

This will allow artists to continue to take on more diverse challenges in addition to their traditional activities, and for fans, their support will be returned in the form of richer experiences and value than ever before, giving them the feeling that their voices and actions are helping to nurture the music scene. While valuing the value of traditional fan activities, we will further develop them. We will deliver an evolved fan experience in which support circulates in the form of new joys and experiences.

For the music industry, this will be a major step forward in building a new, sustainable and scalable ecosystem based on the traditional value model. In other words, we aim to create a world where fans' desire to support artists directly drives their own endeavors and at the same time brings joy and experiences to fans themselves.

This worldview has resonated with several music agencies representing some of Japan's most prominent artists, who have now expressed their support. Each company will participate as an initial partner in promoting this project, working to build a new music economic sphere to create a richer future for both artists and fans. Agencies and artists who have traditionally operated independently will now come together on one platform, building a new music culture together with fans, which we believe represents both a major challenge for the music industry and a hope for the future.

Music is an intimate part of our lives and sometimes has the power to move society. Maximizing this power requires the combined passion of artists, fans, and the entire industry. FPL tokens function as a "co-creation currency" that visualizes, shares, and connects that passion to the future. To date, Fanplus has supported artists and provided services that connect artists and fans with over 700 official fan clubs and over 4 million paid members. Leveraging the knowledge of fan club management we have built up over many years, we will provide an environment where artists and fans can participate with peace of mind.

■ About IEO (Initial Exchange Offering)
IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) is a system in which cryptocurrency exchanges take the lead in reviewing and selling new cryptocurrencies in accordance with Japanese laws and regulations.
Japan is one of the first countries in the world to have established legal systems regarding crypto assets through the Payment Services Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and is characterized by an environment that ensures investor protection and business transparency. This safe and secure system design is attracting attention globally.
In this environment, a project called "Fanpla" was born in Japan, where the foundations for Web3 businesses utilizing crypto assets and NFTs are being established, and which envisions a new future for entertainment. This project will conduct an IEO of crypto assets aimed at application in the entertainment industry on "Coincheck IEO."
