MANGA

Amacomi, a four-frame comic strip with an editorial flair

One of the most important contents of the AMATO project is the manga “AMACOMI,” a series of four-frame comic strips launched in October 2022 on the platform of X (Twitter) and serialized up to the 25th episode as of the end of April 2024.

The series is produced by the Japan NFT Museum’s editorial department, led by editor-in-chief Sae Taki (@taki_sae) and a team of highly experienced official creators.
The content is edited against the backdrop of the “AMATO story,” a story created with the participation of the community, and is a comical and very enjoyable piece of work with a focus on the main points of the story.

It is updated once or twice a month, alternating with other character-branded manga (updated on Tuesdays).

AMATO’s theme song “AMATO” was released prior to the release of AMATO (NFT) and continues to enliven AMATO to this day.

The music is produced and sung by Nomakun (artist name: SHO-GO), the official creator of the NFT Museum of Japan. In addition to creating and managing the original NFT collection, Nomakun is an extremely versatile creator who is involved in a wide range of genres, including game development, music production, and singing.

The theme song “AMATO” has been distributed on Apple Music and various other music platforms, receiving high praise and attention. The song has a Japanese taste with a fast tempo and is very cool with a sense of speed and power, and the beautiful Japanese expressions created by Nomakun give us a strong image of a samurai taking on a challenge, giving us a full sense of the worldview of AMATO.

The significance of AMATO’s participation is immeasurable. It is exciting to imagine a future in which “AMATO” is recognized as a global IP like “One Piece” and “Dragon Ball” and loved by people all over the world.

ANIMATION

It is expected that not only “AMATO” but also all of the character brands owned by JAPAN DAO will be animated.

In particular, we are confident that “AMATO” will be a great success because it has a storyline that is in line with current trends such as the metaverse and AI, as well as the characteristic of being a “hero who fights enemies,” a trait that is loved by men and women of all ages.
It is exciting to imagine a future where children talk about AMATO at school.

We have already begun airing the official animation on large screens at four locations in Tokyo (Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Roppongi), and we will be watching the progress of each brand with great interest!

WEB SHOP

In addition to sales at the NFT Collection (commonly known as N Collection) held in Osaka and other cities, the official JAPAN DAO web store opened in the summer of 2023, making it easy for those who cannot visit the N Collection to purchase goods.

The high percentage of AMATO products used in apparel, accessories, stationery, and other goods shows that the brand is well-loved by users.

We have a lineup of fan-favorite goods such as T-shirts with stylish designs that are cool for everyday use.
