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.
Shibuya Festival (24/4/28-30) is the annual event in Japan hold on 28th April (The day of Shibuya). This event gathered over 12K people including many no-crypto people last year. Including Side Events of it. This is an event for pop, fashion, and music culture. We plan to promote our ecosystem and CNFTs at this event next year.
This event is hosted by Shibuya Culture Scramble: A Digital Magazine for Shibuya Culture and NAVY INC: Talent Agency company to which a lot of famous actors belong, co-hosts this event. 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 belongs as board members, etc. For more previous partnerships for this event(2022, 2023 Shibuya Fes), 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.
We believe that these profits are very significant for the further spread of Cardano in the Japanese real world because if people or enterprises even don't recognize Cardano, there're no chance to be adopted by such stakeholders.

We are very unique in focusing on collaboration and networking with fashion, Art, Music, Pop, and NFT cultures in Tokyo,Japan.
CNFT space is not a good situation, but Real Fashion, Art, Music, and Pop culture-related companies are building real use cases of NFTs every day in Japan.
This means through this event, we can spread our ecosystem directly to whom we want to reach out, and we believe that this event will cause future CNFT important use cases.
So, the budget is worth to be funded.
We estimate our team budget from the average Japanese salary and also the venue fee, and the other fee is estimated based on the real event that we had before.
