TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2022The “TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL” is the world’s largest idol event hosted by Fuji TV “TOKYO IDOL PROJECT” and has been held every year since 2010. Since 2021, after experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic, it launched its own community website “TIF Community.” This is a service making use of its social media function, as well as a streaming platform, ticket play guide, and a system utilizing blockchain database technology. The utilization of NFT technology has enabled various functionalities within the community, such as issuing digital tickets, hosting digital signing events, purchasing digital merchandise, and facilitating online streaming, online voting, and chat features. All these actions can be linked to a user’s ID, allowing for the integration of experiential value between the real world and online environments. This has paved the way for the development of new foundations for events.
