Blending Blockchain and Japanese Pop Culture Via NFTs
Sony intends to use the collection to blend blockchain technology with Japanese pop culture. An OpenSea description shows that Yoake links Japan’s cultural exports like anime, fashion, music, and idols with the “global entertainment ecosystem powered by Soneium.”
The collection comes two weeks after the tech heavyweight unveiled an NFT collection to celebrate Aibo’s 25th anniversary. It also comes seven months after Sony launched the Soneium mainnet to boost the adoption of web3 technology. Soneium recently partnered with Animoca Brands to popularize web3 technology among anime fans.
With Soneium hosting NFTs based on the popular Netflix anime series, it’s evident that Sony is committed to boosting web3 adoption in the anime world.
