Are you facing difficulties when selling NFTs?
- I'm interested, but I don't know
much about how to sell NFTs. - I can't gauge if my
NFTs are worth selling. - I have concerns about the
regulations and laws around NFTs.
Let us share our findings as
the pioneer of NFT
proof-of-concept experiments!
Proof-of-concept Experiments
Tohoku Zunko and Friends Special Limited Edition NFT
Sale and distribution of the world's first access to bonus footage on Metaverse Theatre limited to NFT owners
In April 2021, through the NFT marketplace ‘Rarible’ we sold 100 different types of character-based data that includes a unique serial number. In addition, we opened the 'Metaverse Theatre @ Tohoku Zunko' limited to NFT owners in collaboration with the virtual space service provider 'Conata'. In the theatre, we introduced a system that allowed viewers to access the bonus footage 'Tohoku Zunko World'.
In this proof-of-concept experiment, we attempted to add further value than just digital ownership to NFTs by providing the owners with a unique and special experience.
100 Limited Edition Otaku Coins
Part 1 and 2 Sales Sold Out Immediately100 Limited Edition Otaku Coins NFT
In March 2021, through the NFT marketplace ‘Rarible’ we sold '100 Limited Edition Otaku Coins' of 100 types of color variations and unique serial numbers.
Each coin owner received digital ownership of their coin and the rights to publish on social media and create derivative works (assuming they are within the limits of general public order and morality).
Development of Unique Contract with ERC721
We have developed a one-of-a-kind NFT with 100 color variations each for the 2 proof-of-concept experiments mentioned above. When creating the NFTs, we adopted ERC721 (batch mint) and a unique contract format for the NFTs. As a result, we were able to reduce the number of transactions and the cost of the production of an NFT. In addition, we utilized Rarible for the platform’s social media compatibility for first sales and OpenSea for collecting royalties. This allowed our NFTs to include a permanent 5% royalty return for all transactions of secondary distribution on OpenSea.

Using our experience gained from the '100 Limited Edition Otaku Coins' campaign we have identified that holding a follow & RT campaign on a Twitter account can be an effective measure for raising awareness and sales promotion of planned NFTs.
With the sale of 'Tohoku Zunko and Friends Special Limited Edition NFTs', we received approximately 600 RTs and gained 300 new followers within about 4 days. This reception was mainly from Twitter users with an interest in content such as anime, manga, video games, and Vtubers

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to sell NFTs?
Throughout the NFT creation process for the 2 proof-of-concept experiments in which we used Ethereum, it has cost approximately 300,000 JPY. In addition, costs for the development and management of a unique contract and sales promotion need to be considered as well. Also, in the case of utilizing our support, management and planning costs will also be required. Please contact us for further details.
Can NFT digital data be copied?
Yes, digital data can be copied. However, this factor is the same when considering the relationship between an elaborate art replica and the original artwork. Even if the digital data is duplicated, the electronic signature included in the NFT prevents tampering and is the reason why it holds the value of the digital data
What is royalty return?
The selling of products up until now has only provided royalties to the creator at first sales/distribution. However, by utilizing NFTs, the creator is now able to receive royalties from the second distribution and further on. NFT gives digital data the same value as an asset and enables the resale of the data, which creates a scheme that even original creators can encourage the buying and selling on the secondary distribution market through marketplaces.
Are there a way to provide support for NFTs purchasing to current fans?
NFT is a technology that is still in the development stages and needs time to improve. There are not many users with high levels of technology literacy, who already own Wallet and Ethereum, and have a good command of NFTs and cryptocurrency as well. Considering this, we have made a video that explains how to use Wallet, how to buy cryptocurrency, and how to use NFT sale sites. This video can be used freely by creators and companies interested in selling NFTs as a manual for first-time NFT buyers (feel free to use the external embed tags on your websites). However, please beware that we can not take responsibility for any losses or damages incurred by users throughout buying the NFTs.

Is it possible to sell NFTs to overseas users?
If you use a global marketplace, it is possible to start domestic and overseas sales at the same time. However, we have to consider that NFTs have received critical reception in some areas of the world due to environmental and energy consumption opinions.
Is there any legal/regulatory issues with NFTs?
As of July 2021, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) has deemed that if the NFT doesn’t hold functions or the purpose of payment it is not classed as a cryptocurrency, and the company/association does not need to register for a cryptocurrency exchange license. However, please note that regulations may be introduced in the future.
About the Otaku Coin Association
The Otaku Coin Association began its mission in December 2017 to help the expansion of Japanese anime culture to the world by supporting the introduction and utilization of blockchain technology to the anime industry.
Also, to further help spread the awareness of anime to the world the association started projects that included the localization of various anime media and interviews of anime studios. The association plans and conducts interviews with anime studios that are gaining attention from the world to help showcase their works by presenting their enthusiasm for production and inner workings. Anime production studios really get the spotlight, so through these interviews, the association promotes studio interviews through global anime news media such as the anime information site ‘Anime!Anime!’, ‘Tokyo Otaku Mode’ with more than 20 million Facebook followers, and the Chinese major media ‘Bahamut’.
