SINGAPORE, May 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In preparation for its full-scale launch in Japan, GameFi platform Digital Asset Entertainment Pte. Ltd. (DEA) has revealed its business development plans to local Japanese media.

Flanked by Japanese lawmaker (former Minister of Justice) Takashi Yamashita and non-profit organization “Kosotsu Shien Kai” Chairman Satoshi Takemura, the DEA team highlighted the underlining strategy for penetrating the Japanese market. DEA’s Head of Business Strategy, Hiroshi Tsuruoka, charted a three-pronged approach that revolves around DEA’s issuance of the PlayMining ecosystem’s native DEAPcoin ($DEP) token, opening and operating an NFT marketplace responsible for handling NFT sales, and the introduction of NFT-based games.

Already, DEAPcoin is available for trading in Japan through its listing on the BITPOINT exchange and will play an important role in expanding the awareness of the PlayMining economic zone’s potential amongst local users. Additionally, the PlayMining NFT marketplace has forged partnerships with popular manga artists, lining up Ami Shibata and Ume. This follows the inclusion of Kamui Fujiwara in the PlayMining Verse, the ecosystem’s Metaverse, which supports user content creation and development.

Together, these activities will work in conjunction to support the four play-to-earn NFT gaming titles;  “JobTribes,” which is currently available, “Cookin’ Burger,” “Graffiti Racer,” and “Menya Dragon Ramen“, which are scheduled to launch in the third quarter of 2022. Simultaneously, PlayMining is enlarging its appeal as the first Web3 GameFi platform in Japan.

Besides the business development plans, DEA has partnered with the non-profit organization “Kosotsu Shien Kai” to help support income-generation opportunities for individuals without high-school degrees. Moreover, the project has found support from House of Representatives Member Takashi Yamashita, who views PlayMining as dovetailing Japan’s growth strategy and Web3 ambitions.

Commenting on DEA’s plans for Japan, CEO Kozo Yamada notes, “Japan represents an incredible opportunity for GameFi, and especially PlayMining, when putting the sheer size of the market and its tech-savvy population in context. As we endeavor to make a big splash in the market, we are proud to have the support of the Liberal Democratic Party and local organizations like “Kosotsu Shien Kai” that believe in the immense potential of Web3 ecosystems.”

Conceived in 2018, Digital Entertainment Asset (DEA) Pte Ltd. is behind the PlayMining GameFi platform that delivers digital entertainment through multiple avenues. Through its embedded play-to-earn digital economy, creators and gamers can connect directly via the PlayMining economic zone to earn while playing NFT-based games.

Lights On! Vivid Sydney’s Dazzling Return to Harbour City

Sydney has exploded into a kaleidoscope of colour and technicolour brilliance tonight as the lights were turned on for Vivid Sydney 2022

Sydney Opera House – Yarrkalpa Hunting Ground 2021

Sydney Opera House – Yarrkalpa Hunting Ground 2021

SYDNEY, May 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Making a triumphant return after a two-year hiatus, Australia’s largest event will bring together light artists, music makers and brilliant creatives over 23 days and nights, from 27 May to 18 June in celebration of Sydney’s soul – the diversity, beauty, resilience, First Nations culture, and vibrant creative community.

For the first time in Vivid Sydney’s 12-year history, the ‘Lights On’ moment has been preceded with First Light, a powerful acknowledgement and celebration of our First Nations culture, with a spectacular and memorable Welcome to Country ceremony and performance by more than 50 NAISDA dancers, choreographed by Deon Hastie under creative advisor Rhoda Roberts AO.

From firelight to spotlights, the ‘Lights On’ moment wowed with the Sydney Opera House Lighting of the Sails featuring the incredible new digital artwork, Yarrkalpa – Hunting Ground 2021. Created by Martu artists and creative technologists Curiious, with a soundtrack by Electric Fields & Martu artists, the visually striking and complex painting depicts the Parnngurr community and surrounding landscape and represents Indigenous cultures’ intimate connection with the country. The Lighting of the Sails is complemented with Sharing the Same Life Essence by Indigenous artist Wayne Quilliam, projected onto all four of the Sydney Harbour Bridge pylons during First Light.

This year, the Festival is bigger and brighter than ever before, with 11 central business district (CBD) locations across Sydney, including Circular Quay, Sydney CBD, The Rocks, Barangaroo, Darling Harbour, Darling Square, Central Station, The Good Line, Luna Park and Taronga Zoo transformed with illuminating installations and unforgettable performances. This year is the first time that Central Station and the Goods Line has been activated, extending the Light Walk for a continuous 8km.

Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade, Minister for Tourism and Sport and Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said Vivid Sydney was much more than just a captivating light, music and ideas festival.

“Vivid Sydney draws millions of visitors to the city in May and June and is such an important driver for the NSW tourism economy,” Mr Ayres said.

“It’s been a long wait since the lights went out on Vivid Sydney 2019 and this year’s program is bigger, brighter and bolder, with over 200 events for visitors to enjoy. The largest festival in the Southern Hemisphere brings Sydney to life, and I encourage Sydneysiders and visitors from all around the country and the world to visit our dynamic city when it’s at its creative best.”

Festival Director, Gill Minervini said: “It has been such a privilege and honour to put together a program of this scale that is two years in the making. This year’s program features a completely refreshed and revitalised program celebrating Sydney’s soul, elevating our artists and creatives onto a world stage that will inspire and captivate audiences. Over the next 23 days and nights, visitors will be spoiled for choice, with the longest ever continuous Light Walk at 8km, hundreds of music events at intriguing locations across the city and thought-provoking talks from the world’s most brilliant minds. Sydney shines during Vivid Sydney, and I cannot wait for everyone to experience it.”

Vivid Sydney is the largest festival of light, music and ideas in the Southern Hemisphere and the largest event in Australia.
