- **Rare sentimental post 😂**
Heading back to Tokyo on Monday with a lot of happiness in my heart! Feeling very grateful I get work on something like @lens/galverse which gives me a connection to a place I really love.
Australia is very much in APAC and I grew up with all the Japanese media craze -> watching anime before school and churning through AA's on my GameBoy.
When I was 9 years old (yes, I'm the little one there~), we had an exchange student, Nori, visit from Himeji. She treated me like her little brother and brought me all sorts of gifts including Pokemon gear and some origami books!
12 years later, I made my first trip to Japan covering Fukushima for work, which left a deep mark on me, and then spent a couple of months travelling around. I went and stayed with Nori and her family then. She had a couple of young kids. I drank too much, learned to play Shogi, did the pilgrimage up to Mt Shosha and so on.
In 2018 I returned again, in a whirlwind trip, and she had three grown daughters. Her dad replayed the videos from the old days we spent together! My brother even arrived for a night and we had a big party and reminisced.
Galverse kicked off in late 2021 and was a whirlwind. I get to work with and meet people who made all the things I loved as a kid. It has some incredible sense of closure & returning, throwing back to my youth and everything that influenced me.
Nori came back again a few weeks ago, with her youngest daughter, her brother, and a bunch of students. She had fulfilled her dream of becoming a teacher, and I did my best to show them around my home and life here! I even pulled out the origami books she gave me **25 year ago** (and now my house is full of origami)**.** Everyone cried reuniting, of course.
And now I'm putting together my Tokyo schedule, and realising the list of friends I want to meet is longer than anywhere, even my hometown, and I really am grateful for what the Galverse dream has created.
Thank you for reading this old man's story 🙇♀️
**珍しい感傷的な投稿です 😂**
月曜日に東京に戻りますが、心にはたくさんの幸せを感じています！@lens/galverse のようなプロジェクトに関われることに非常に感謝しています。それが私にとって本当に愛する場所とのつながりを与えてくれます。
オーストラリアはAPAC地域に位置しており、私は日本のメディアブームの真っ只中で育ちました。学校へ行く前にアニメを観たり、ゲームボーイでバッテリーを無駄にしたりしていました。
9歳の時（そう、写真の小さい方です〜）、姫路から交換留学生のノリが訪れました。彼女は私を弟のように扱い、ポケモングッズや折り紙の本など、様々な贈り物をくれました。私にとっては天国でした。
その12年後、私は仕事で福島を取材するために初めて日本を訪れましたが、少し心に傷を負いました。その後、数ヶ月間日本を旅しました。その時はノリと彼女の家族と一緒に滞在しました。彼女には小さな子供がいました。私はたくさん飲み、将棋を覚え、Shosha山への巡礼を行いました。
2018年には再び訪れ、その時は彼女には成長した三人の娘がいました。彼女の父は私の初来日時のビデオを再生しました！もう昔のような感じがしました！弟も一晩参加して大きなパーティーをし、昔を懐かしみました。
2021年末にギャルバースが始まり、まさに旋風でした。子供の頃好きだったものを作った人々と仕事をし、会うことができました。それは私の青春時代と影響を受けたすべてのものへの素晴らしい感じの締めくくりであり、復帰です。
数週間前、ノリは最年少の娘、彼女の弟、そして何人かの生徒と一緒に再び訪れました。彼女は教師になるという夢を実現しましたし、私はここでの私の家と生活を案内するために最善を尽くしました！25年前に彼女がくれた折り紙の本を引っ張り出しました（そして今、私の家は折り紙でいっぱいです）。もちろん再会時にはみんな泣きました。
そして今、私の東京スケジュールを組んでいるところですが、会いたい友人のリストが故郷を含むどこよりも長いことに気づき、本当にギャルバースの夢が創り出したものに感謝しています。
このおじさんの話を読んでくださってありがとうございます 🙇♀️

Any AU friends, please head along! The @lens/ethglobal team do an amazing job with their events.
- In the spirit of transparency, I bought a few jury votes today for @lens/cryptothegame. I'm using three of them to donate to Roman and Alexey's Tornado Cash legal fund. They are in jail while we are having fun playing this game. So some of my jury votes will go to support #733. Thank you to @lens/eva and @lens/divine_economy for leading this cause. This season's theme is Anon Island, how fitting to support this technology.
My other jury vote will go to #246, funding @lens/galverse's anime and Galverse is an epic project run by artist @lens/ayaka_ohira. I really believe in the girl power and creativity behind the Galverse crew, and most of all, we need to really support artists and creatives in the next age of the internet.

- Completed some much needed Lens Profile + Handle security and wallet hygiene today!
Just a reminder, if you minted your profile on a hot wallet, it doesn't take long to move it to a cold or hardware wallet and make sure your handle + social graph are safe 🔒
🌟 This process is not exhaustive but:
- Disable the profile guardian which starts a 1 week transfer lock countdown, and put a reminder in your calendar so you're ready to send it once the lock releases
- Jump on an NFT dApp like Opense and Send your Profile + Handle to a secure wallet, ideally a fresh one without any unncessary perms enabled. You can find your profile number on your Lens profile sidebar, in case you have more than one profile in your wallet.
- Jump onto a Lens app like @lens/hey which has the profile manager tools, sign in on your secure wallet, and delegate management to your hot wallet so you can still login and use the profile on your regular sign in. You can revoke the perms after if you want.
- Rest easy knowing that your profile and handle are safe, even if your hot wallet gets compromised and the hacker starts posting cringe memes on your behalf
Web3 security is super important and sometimes we rush things through on hot wallets because it's quick and convenient.
The important thing is this - it doesn't matter until it matters, and you can take simple steps to improve your security anytime. That's the beauty of open networks!

Artists, share a post in your feed on you and your work and link it in the comments below ↓↓↓**
Hi, I'm Kay, an artist based in Tokyo, Japan.
With a background in fashion garment construction and a 7-year career in Musical Theatre (making, mending, and designing costumes for productions like The Lion King and CATS), my interests currently lie in digital fashion, art with a sense of illusion, and AI.
I embarked on my solo artistic journey 8 months ago, starting by applying to open calls on social media. My work has since been curated in several online exhibitions and displayed in Tokyo, London, and New York. I was also part of the Digital Fashion Residency last year, run by @lens/verticalcrypto and @lens/pronounceddrop in partnership with @lens/lens
This montage of videos and images is a collection of a few pieces I have created in the past 8 months. Some are AI-generated, others are 2D animations, and a few are a combinations of digital fashion, AI, 3D, and p5.js.
Feel free to give me a follow and ask me any questions💜

**SHORT NOTES ON MY JOURNEY THROUGH SHINSEI GALVERSE** ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)
Cannonballing into Galverse felt like a baptism into a neon-lit pool of a new internet culture and its possibilities. Straight from my laptop + smartphone screens, I was introduced to a new collaborative creative process, and the promise of releasing an anime was just a banger.
Shinsei Galverse is not your average PFP project; it’s a gateway to where Tokyo’s rhythm beats in sync with blockchain’s pulse, enhancing '90s anime nostalgia with the magic of Web3 and AI. All these elements converge towards the final “product” expected sometime between Q3 and Q4, 2024.
From the moment I got in, it struck me as different. It’s a slightly geeky-otaku hub, as alive and kicking as the Shibuya streets it draws energy from. But the neighborhood isn’t just a backdrop here. It’s rather the cultural core, the project’s HQ, pulsating with life as much as the tech and network driving it.
I mingled with the Web3 crowd, experiencing the good, the quirky, and the challenges firsthand. The 8,888 gals (minted-out in a couple of hours) became more than digital assets; they represented real people you might run into around the block or share late night ebi-mayo with at our favorite izakaya, SAI. On top of that I also realized I wasn’t just a crypto wallet—I was part of something that resonated with me on a whole new level; a celebration of the local vibes’ power in a sprawling metropolis, where a sense of community can make all the difference.
If you’re on the outside looking in, it might be hard to grasp. But here are some of my personal notes:
**Joy & Nostalgia ₍⑅ᐢ..ᐢ₎**
A scorching afternoon of June 2022, while drinking a Dr Pepper : A PFP on NFTwitter slap me with joy and nostalgia. It had that Clamp-esque '90s anime vibe I’ve loved for ages. After researching Galverse’s roadmap—using Web3’s collective power to put together an anime—I was sold AF. I penned a blog post and snagged my very first gal, Kristy Web, on the secondary market. That was the beginning of something.
**The Community and Its Power (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ**
Fast forward—I’m right in the mix, surrounded by *frens*. I see us not just as a community; we’re a trib3, bound by our shared passions for tons of stuff including anime, gaming, ramen, Y2K fashion, Tamagotchi, the Web3 space, highballs (for a bunch of us), and most importantly, our will to bring this ‘impossible anime’ to the Web3 space and beyond.
However, this endeavor goes beyond NFT holders showing-up their PFPs on social media. It’s a mix-match of distinct intellects, abilities, expressions, and life stories, all rallying behind the project’s target. In there, I truly sense the spirit of the Galverse, and so far, the time spent with them has been quite cool. With one of my gals tattooed on my skin, it’s a bond that’s here to stay I guess.
Regarding the personal connections—they’re the blood of what we do. It’s through these genuine, heartfelt exchanges that I’ve found a community nicer than any standard online hangout or Twitter Space. And in Tokyo, where the essence of the gals is most palpable, that’s where the alchemy occurs. Our online convos evolve into encounters, turning Discord and any socials into arenas for real-life connections.
This kinship has taken us from just being screen names to IRL pals, all hyped up about '90s J-Culture, and we’ve slowly moved from just building a community to speeding up the production of the OVA.
**The Creative Process ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧**
Going into the creative process is like navigating a universe where nearly every twist and turn is sculpted by the community. It’s not about launching this DIY anime; it’s about teaming-up to birth something both unique and experimental.
Here’s the whole thing: every NFT holder can contribute. You got at least one, you’re in the club. Discord becomes the arena, buzzing with assignments that offer each member the opportunity to imprint their creativity on the anime. It’s an all-inclusive brainstorm, where every input is treasured as we craft character arcs, design attire, envision anime scene backdrops, name characters and planets, and devise plot twists—it’s the entire spectrum. Clearly, it’s not just a handful at work; it’s a concerted effort by every gal, as much as humanly possible.
The team’s transparency also is gold. Every decision, every stroke of the pen made by Ayaka and the studio + collaborators, ends up on Discord or social media for all eyes to see. It’s not about fueling excitement; it’s about fostering trust. That way, we feel like we're not just conjuring up ideas; we're materializing them, and everyone gets a front-row view of the show.
**The impact of Galverse ≽^•⩊•^≼**
Indeed, Galverse stands out as a key player in Japan's Web3 scene, uniting anime nostalgia with futuristic values, post-authorship concepts, and a shift towards collective creativity. This project is more than a blast from the past; it's a strategic move aligned with 2024’s internet/digital paradigms and the global crave for the ancient-future.
Moreover, the narrative resonates globally, transforming '90s vibes into a dynamic, community-driven move. This mix of community ethos and innovations creates an environment where tech, web culture, and anime prod come together. In this space, neo-storytelling gives every participant a chance to shape the legacy.
**✌︎꒰ ´-`꒱✌︎**
Here’s my lowdown: As a pioneering project in the Web3 anime space, there’s no doubt future generations will look back on Shinsei Galverse!
In this ecosystem, every participant weaves a part of a larger narrative. RIP the zone between creator and consumer; here, the decentralization empowers community ownership, turning fan contributions into tangible stakes in our cosmic odyssey.
This is the Gals’ way to! Valuing passion for anime and the Web3 space as its currency.
