Masahiro Kawakami — CEO of PREMA

After graduating from Musashino Art University in Tokyo, Kawakami worked for an advertising agency, but was drawn to creating rather than advertising, so he became a graphic designer for a game company. Over the next 30 years he was involved in game development and production, working on more than 100 game titles. Masahiro Kawakami founded X-Creation Inc. in 2013 and has been involved in the development of the PREMA platform. His team is developing various services using blockchain and NFT technology, ranging from fintech to entertainment.

Q&A from Gate.io

Q1: Please introduce yourself and tell us about President Kawakami's background.

Kawakami: I worked for an advertising agency. After that, I became a graphic designer for a game company. Over the next 30 years, I was involved in game development and production, working on over 100 game titles.

I founded X-Creation Inc. in 2013 and have been involved in developing the PREMA platform.

Q2: What is the project overview of PREMA TOKEN?

Kawakami: The project aims to tie the real and virtual together around PREMA X, an NFT marketplace.

Based on the strong security capabilities of the PREMA Wallet, it is intended to serve as a hub between the metaverse, blockchain games, the guilds that support them, the real world, and also Web3 and Web2.

By the way, by using NFC tags and QR codes, we have completed the creation of an experience value system that links the real and virtual.

Q3: What specific problems can the PREMA project solve that existing solutions cannot?

Kawakami: We are working to solve three problems.

The first is the use of IP content. We have applied NFT technology to IP content and built an NFT system that tracks more than secondary distribution and supports all marketing methods!

Second, it allows for individual ownership of digital content. Our platform- "PREMA X" aims for individuals to easily set up a marketplace to buy and sell their digital assets.

Third, the real and virtual can be integrated. Currently, it is not possible to reflect what is happening in virtual space in reality. But our undergoing system that uses NFT technology allows to link actual crops with those in the game and provide them to users, for example.

Q4: What is the project's competitive advantage in solving this problem?

Kawakami: We are actively involved in producing NFTs tied to the real world. In 2020, we have a patent to operate NFTs via QR codes or NFC tags. There will be more and more usage.

For example, in the future, NFT can be operated from QR codes which is attached to mail or NFC tags on products. In this case, NFT can be used for inexpensive traceability of parcels or easy proof of the genuinity of item.

Also, we already have systems to create mutual experiential value in real and virtual life and are well-positioned to be a publisher.

Q5: What has specific progress been made on the project? Please briefly describe the major milestones you have achieved and the milestones you are targeting, along with a timeline.

Kawakami: This December will see the launch of the sake and sports NFT projects, and after that you will see the release of many other contents. We also planning to release an NFT game on farming as our IP.

We constantly posting information about our updates on the PREMA project's Discord and official SNS. Please check it!

Q6: How do you plan to reach NFT and non-NFT users? What is your marketing strategy?

Kawakami: First, for NFT users, we plan to increase NFT-users through tie-ups with IP holders for NFT distribution, campaigns using the White List, and by holding NFT content events. By partnering with well-known IPs, we will incentivize NFT users to own NFTs.

For non-NFT users, our strategy is like this : Create a connection between PREMA and the core IP fan base, by information which is available only in the PREMA community. Also, create contact points between users and IP through NFT is very attractive. We will always provide content.

Q7: How can users use PREMA TOKEN?

Kawakami: Users can use PREMA tokens at PREMA X to communicate with the real and virtual worlds.

Specifically, PREMA tokens can be used for gas fee in the PREMA chain, as a payment in the PREMA platform, for SCM (Supply Chain Management) by service providers in PREMA X, and as incentive payment to service users. Service providers also can use PREMA tokens for SCM (Supply Chain Management) or as incentive payment to service users in PREMA X.
