Expanding fandom with a new experiential store for lovers of anime, games, and manga

With the release of the new version of CLUBS, we are pleased to announce a new partnership that will expand anime, gaming and manga to the world. This update greatly enhances the store functionality and user experience, focusing on content such as anime, games, and manga. With this update, CLUBS has evolved into a completely new digital experience that goes beyond the walls of Web3.

Updates

Background

CLUBS has been growing as a platform that enables users to utilize Web3 tools with no code, under the theme of “Go Real”. With this update, the platform has been optimized for short videos and other creative content such as videos, music, and illustrations, making it even easier to start selling them to the world. In addition, “Passport” has been released as a new place for fans to enjoy collecting items they have purchased, and enhancements have been made to expand the fandom globally.

New features

1. Store for short movies, MV, and BGM sales

CLUBS will support new content formats such as short videos and clips that are spreading around the world. It will be possible for you to itemize all kinds of videos, illustrations, and music that color your works, including short videos and content created for SNS, which have previously remained difficult to monetize. These items can be used as a wide range of collectibles to expand the enjoyment of anime, games, and manga for the world.

2. Infinite combinations of items

“Passport” is available for each user who purchases items. It is a new place where you can fill out your profile, dress up with official skins, decorate it with as many purchased items as you like, set your favorite background music, and express your love of the art works in endless combinations.

3. More fans mean more cheering

“Passport,” which multiplies as the number of fans increases, is full of features to activate communication: SNS shares, comments, and unlimited likes button to share “likes” with your friends, as well as rewards based on the level of excitement. The official digital item drops will be spread by fans all over the world, leading to the expansion of IP-based fandom.

Partnership

With the release of the new version, CLUBS is pleased to announce a new partnership with NAITY, a Japanese entertainment production company. This partnership will allow anime, manga, and game studios and creators to quickly experience CLUBS, expand its global fan base, and facilitate the birth of new IP.

FRAME00

“The partnership between NAITY, a global producer of a new generation of entertainment, and CLUBS, a provider of fan engagement in the digital age, has the potential to bring about a new ecosystem for “works and fans” in the anime, manga, and game industries, and to create an environment where new challenges can be “patched” one after another. I can hardly contain my excitement when I think of the many plans that this partnership will bring to fruition, and CLUBS look forward to a future where studios and creators can connect directly with fans around the world, transcending traditional distribution structures and becoming even more beloved around the globe.”
