[About the start of the music experience at MetaPark®]
TOPPAN will launch a metaverse small service that consolidates multiple virtual stores in December 2021.“Metapa®”In October 2022, this service will be launched as a virtual space where stores can gather together.“Metapark®”All of the stores were located in the same space, allowing users to control their own avatars and move around the park freely, and a center plaza was also opened in the middle of the park for users to enjoy.
This time, a boombox was installed in the center plaza, and when you tap on it, it plays songs in a radio introduction style, adding a new musical experience. Boomboxes were popular mainly from the 1970s to 1990s, and have recently been attracting attention due to the retro boom. By placing these boomboxes in the Metaverse space, we hope to attract the interest of people of all ages and help them encounter artists.

Eggs’ mission is to “Create a future filled with diverse music,” and their vision is to “Create as many encounters as possible between artists and fans.” They have a track record of booking artists to appear at many live music venues, music festivals, and events around town.
In recent years, we have been experimenting and challenging ourselves in various areas to create the next generation of music experiences, such as how to enjoy music in the Metaverse environment and how to meet artists. We were approached by TOPPAN, who was considering the possibility of holding a music experience event as one of the virtual experiences for users of “Metaverse®” in 2023, and after much consideration, this project was realized.

[About the artists and songs introduced on “Metapa®”]
■DADA GAUGUIN “A Kind Lie”
He is particular about the fusion of music and video, and also supervises anime music videos, and is active in many fields, focusing not only on music but also on video works.

■ Raindrops in the Rain “It’s okay to be yourself”
A five-member pop rock band from Tokyo. They express the various emotions that change from day to day as “grains” and the way they overflow as “rain”. They want people to “spit out” those overflowing emotions, and they want to “sweep away” the various emotions that have overflowed. This band is filled with these two thoughts. “It’s Okay to Be You” is a pop, bright, catchy song that conveys the message “It’s okay to be yourself” and “It’s okay to live the way you want” to young people who are lost in how to live in this modern age where there are many different ways to choose from. They created this song with the message of wanting to create a song that will give people a push forward when they are lost and looking towards the future.
