Odaily Planet Daily reported that during a special talk show at the WebX 2025 conference in Tokyo, Japan, Japanese singer, actor, and one of the eight members of Kansai Johnny's, an idol group under Johnny & Associates, Murakami Shingo, mentioned: "Here's a little inside story: when we (artists) want to talk about Bitcoin, most commercial broadcasters refuse. They (the company) tells me never to use specific currency names like Bitcoin or Ethereum, so I can only refer to it as crypto assets. Furthermore, each word is very limited in its expression. Crypto assets haven't yet gained social recognition, so we have to be conservative. This is why advertising cryptocurrencies is quite difficult. From our perspective in the entertainment industry, including our staff, we all feel that there are huge risks involved. I opened an account at Bitbank (a Japanese exchange) and started trading cryptocurrencies. I probably watch it more every day than any other celebrity. Prime Minister Ishiba's visit to WebX today demonstrates that we have finally entered an era where Japan, to avoid being surpassed by the United States, must actively promote cryptocurrencies. When I host a program called "Economics" on Japan Cultural Broadcasting, I meet many knowledgeable guests. I discovered a possible opportunity—using NFTs." Let's explore ticketing. In the past, when we held offline concerts, we primarily focused on physical merchandise like tickets, brochures, and transparent folders. I'm not suggesting that we replace everything with digital, but rather that we should expand this option. When I talk to listeners and fans, some express concerns about the bulkiness of physical merchandise when moving. They worry about how to handle their favorite items when getting married or having children. NFTs would be fantastic."
