Message from the Staff
Metaverse! REALITY’s CEO, DJ RIO speaking!🤘
REALITY is working hard every day to become a metaverse used by hundreds of millions of people around the world.
One of the important things to achieve this is to create a diverse world where people can live their own unique lives, just as they do in the real world. For example, the dream of becoming famous through live-streaming is just one of the many ways of life, but I believe that there are many other ways to be who you want to be.
So, in order to make REALITY a more diverse world, we, the management (part of us), went to the sea. In order to become “Whoever we wanted to be”, that was, at that moment, a fisherman...
We boarded the boat before dawn and headed for a place with a depth of 500 meters. I believe that experience in the physical world is important to enrich the experience of the metaverse, so I got a marine license and a small boat, and I steer it myself to the fishing grounds.
Using ultra-heavy tackle - a thick rod, a big electric reel, and an estimated 1 kg weight - I cast the hook into deep water, and after a short while, I felt a powerful tug. After several minutes of fighting, a deep-sea shark🦈 of nearly 2 meters with emerald green eyes came up from a depth far greater than Tokyo Tower.
So, it was a great fight and I asked the development team if I could make this shark the boss of the new season of the #REALITY Fishing Over.
They immediately rejected the idea.
With that being said, see you next month!
Hello everyone. How was everyone's Valentine's Day?
I’m a PM and my name is O, and I have good memories of making a two-tier chocolate cake for my wife a long time ago
REALITY also added avatars, gifts, and stream campaigns around Valentine's Day.
The team is now talking about how we want to make sure that there is always some event or campaign going on when the app is launched so that people will want to use the app every day.
The current REALITY Carnival 2023 will be one of them. Why a carnival? The famous Rio de Janeiro Carnival is held in February.
We decided to hold this event with a theme that is familiar to people from various regions as well as Japan, so this time we choose Rio's Carnival. (Please note that this is not from DJ RIO-chan.)
The next campaign is already in the works, and it might be fun to research that theme.
So stay tuned for our next campaign!
