APP’s founder Ao Umino

Today’s CNPRoadshow was a conversation between CNP‘s founder Road and Aopanda Party, also known as APP’s founder Ao.

This is how Ao’s collection, Aopanda Party’s OpenSea, presents APP.

“Aopanda” is a Japanese panda character which is very popular and loved on TikTok. Big panda is “Ah chan”, Mini panda is “Oh chan”.
They are “AoPanda”! They share the importance of words and positive thinking !

Ao san is also the owner of CryptoNinja #028 Xiaolan.

A conversation between CNP’s founder Road and APP’s founder Ao

APP has a very strong non-NFT initiative.
At FamilyMart, a video of APP, the character drawn by Ao, is playing!

APP is being broadcast at movie theaters and videos are being played at convenience stores.
How are you promoting such strong measures?
Ao said that APP’s agents are giving us a very good presentation.
About two years before we started NFT, there was an opportunity called “License Japan” to connect IP owners with companies.

And then suddenly Ao started NFT, so her agent was worried.
NFT smells like a lot of money, so they were worried.
They feel that companies are starting to take an interest in NFT.

Road also feels that the companies are completely different from when he started CNP.

The policy of LINE is also a very wonderful one.
With Ethereum, there are only 20,000 people, so it is difficult to proceed, but with LINE, there are 90 million people, so Road san thinks it is easy for companies to start.

Ao thinks that stamps like the CNPTreasure stamps are very good.
It is easy to explain why it is necessary to have NFTs.

AO also did a thing where if you buy a sponge cake, you get an NFT.
That NFT can be a coupon.

Road thinks that kind of thing, where you can use it without realizing it’s an NFT, is the best.
When people ask what NFT is, I think it would be good if we could explain it in a way that is easy to understand.

For that purpose, Road thinks it would be good if we could prepare various use cases and present them.
When explaining the sense of ownership, it is difficult to get people to understand if you tell them that they will understand when they hold it.

The only way is to have them hold it, but it is very difficult to have them hold it.

Although 100% of people may not have the feeling of ownership, we are trying to increase the opportunities for people to experience that they can lose it or sell it when they move.

We have been able to create a situation where both CNP and APP support us by developing various things within Ethereum, but from there it is important to expand the user base and create use cases that are easy to explain.

APP’s IP is becoming more and more active.

Ao shared her thoughts on the challenges she sees.
Ao wants to increase the number of creators who make Aopanda, but he is not very good at getting people to do the work.

The challenge is to give the creator’s place to everyone, just like a DAO.
CNP allows creators to work freely with CNP.
APP is meaningful in part because it is created by Ao.
The issue is how to distribute the work.
AO wants to create a team of creators.

Ao’s video is playing on the big screen in the yellow building in Tokyo Dome City.
Road asked Ao to make that.
It was also very important to find the right person to make the video.
Road knew that Mr. Ao was busy, so he wasn’t sure if she would agree to do it, but he gave it a shot and they agreed to do it.
Ao was very happy when he heard from Road.

The part of the video that Ao was very careful about and wanted the viewers to see was that it was very difficult to draw LeeLee.
Ao’s character is also Aopanda, a panda, so when she draws a panda, it ends up looking like Aopanda!

In the video, all of the CNP characters have Ao’s character, and they are all very cute.
Ao is good at cartoon-like drawings, so she made CNP with big eyes, which Ao personally likes very much!

The song in this Tokyo Dome City video is “Shinobizakura” by the CNP Band!
The song was composed by Ashitaka of CNP Band and sung by Fukuno Nekomi.

For Ao, it seems that among the CNP characters, Mitama is the easiest to draw and move.
For those who don’t know much about NFT, it seems like a lot of work for the founders of the NFT project.
She feel as if no one will want to be a founders of NFT, so she hope it will be more distributed.

Road said he has done nothing compared to Ao.
He has not made anything, he has not managed the community, and he has not gone to any physical events.
Ao doesn’t want to be stronger as a founder.

She thinks it would be better for DAO to have more characters in the middle, and for everyone to be able to get excited about it, but she still feels that Mr. Ao is strong.

How do you think APP is going to evolve from the NFT’s point of view and the character’s point of view?

Ao wants to make it completely DAO as NFT
As long as we are using NFT, as long as it is a blockchain, we want to eventually make it like Nouns as a DAO.

The other thing is that Ao want to expand Ao Panda to children.
We want to increase the opportunities for them to see a lot of it

What do children know about the character nowadays?

Little kids may watch TV, but when they get a little older, they may watch You tube or Netflix.
We would like to explore places where we can deliver our characters.

Both CNP and APP want children to know and enjoy the characters
It seemed that both collections had a very meaningful time while exploring various approaches and sharing the challenges of their respective projects.
