Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

“Metaverse TOKYOBAY”, one of Japan’s largest Metaverse sponsored by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, opens today where everyone can enjoy fishing in Tokyo Bay! Instead of eating the fish you catch, you’ll be given a prize every day by lottery as a fashion item for Edomae sushi that you can wear!

In conjunction with the “Virtual Edo-Tokyo Project” sponsored by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, TV Asahi, which operates Metaverse projects such as “Metabase of Light and Stars Roppongi”, which has over 1.5 million visitors, has created a Metaverse World where you can enjoy fishing in Tokyo Bay. We are opening “Metaverse TOKYOBAY ~ Wearable Sushi ~” .

There are a total of 15 types of fish you can catch, based on Edomae sushi ingredients, and instead of eating the fish you catch, you will receive them as “wearable sushi items” as gifts in the Metaverse! The types of fish that can be caught in the same area change depending on the location, and you may be able to catch fish that have become difficult to catch due to environmental changes, as well as plastic garbage! AI-generated 3D sushi items will be distributed to 100 people by lottery every day depending on the fish they catch! Raffle tickets will be automatically granted each day you visit, so if you visit every day, your chances of winning may increase! Complete all 15 types during the event period and come and wear this fashionable digital item on your avatar! Please do! It is sure to attract attention at the many worlds in Tokyo!

The opening event hosted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government on January 18th (Thursday) will feature Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Matsumura Sayuri, who will introduce the Metaverse space filled with the charms of Tokyo, as well as a presentation by the governor’s avatar.

There is also a greeting. In addition, TV Asahi’s Metaverse program “Friday’s Metaverse” will be publicly recorded during the event period. On February 2nd (Friday) from 12:45am, the popular cast members will be shown enjoying fishing together! TV Asahi’s Metaverse is located in the “Industry Area” of the “Virtual Edo-Tokyo Project” where you can experience the charm of Tokyo’s diverse industries, but it can also be accessed from the “Star of Light Metaverse Roppongi” official website! There are lots of fun plans, so please join us.
