specialized trading company before joining Hitachi Energy in Japan in February 2021 as a member of the order handling team I had wanted to work for a foreign company at least once but I had concerns about switching jobs from a Japanese company Back then Hitachi Energy was a joint venture between a foreign company headquartered in Switzerland and Hitachi domestic and international transportation arrangements It seems like a job that requires little socialization It involves a great deal of interaction with people—sales representatives from various departments One of the things I love about working at Hitachi Energy is the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds I am often required to communicate with people from overseas group companies and it’s exciting to be in an environment where I am exposed to values and ways of thinking that are different from mine I am currently involved in an internal core system migration project as part of an integration project into the Hitachi Group I have no experience with the system itself and there are many things I don't understand I am managing to move forward with the project My supervisor and the global team always encourage me to ask when I don't understand which gives me a newfound confidence in asking questions I was surprised at first that my line of work is male-dominated The company provides an environment where employees can develop their careers while maintaining their private lives Even though I sometimes feel busy with various overlapping tasks The company encourages employees to take vacations and my supervisor is always concerned about it Hitachi Energy is currently in a transitional stage where the two corporate cultures merge I hope that the good aspects of each will remain I look forward to seeing what we will become in a few years Variety: Shidarezakura (Cerasus spachiana f Fukushima Prefecture 963-7714Trunk circumference: 7.9 m; height: 19 m; age: 1,000 yearsDesignated a national natural monumentSize ★★★★★Vigor ★★★★Shape ★★★★★Crown spread ★★★★Grandeur ★★★★★ the small town of Miharu in central Fukushima Prefecture puts on a spectacular flowering display as plum and cherry blossoms burst into bloom all at once—the town’s name which means “three springs,” is said to derive from this trio of blossoms Standing out amid this flurry of flowers is the millennium-old Takizakura which together with the Usuzumizakura in Gifu Prefecture and Jindaizakura in Yamanashi Prefecture make up the “three great cherry trees” of Japan True to its title as the largest specimen of shidarezakura the Takizakura—literally “waterfall cherry”—features broad branches and light pink blossoms that appear to flow earthward This particularly beautiful feature has along with its age made the tree legendary among sakura lovers and each year in mid-April more than 200,000 people come to enjoy the blossoms The tree is spectacular during the daytime hours but those who make the trek to see the Takizakura lit up at night are treated to a different The Takizakura sits in what is known as sakura hollow an area that affords shelter from strong winds while providing excellent drainage The tree is ringed by a footpath allowing visitors to enjoy the blooms from every angle the general consensus is that the uphill view of the elegantly flowing branches of the sakura is the best The ancient tree has weathered tribulations during its lifetime most recently losing several limbs during a typhoon in 2002 and a snowstorm in 2005 the damage was not extensive enough to permanently mar the breathtaking beauty of the Takizakura Visitors to Miharu can also enjoy the town’s 10,000 other cherry trees 2,000 of which are shidarezakura said to be descendents of the Takizakura Miharu’s numerous weeping cherries are in fact its second biggest claim to fame earning it in 1990 the title of one of Japan’s 100 most famous hanami spots Despite abundant opportunites for blossom viewing many tours only make a stop at the Takizakura a regretable situation considering the profusion of blossoms that blanket the town each spring own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation that would benefit from this article and have disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment Mines Paris provides funding as a member of The Conversation FR View all partners It’s 2019 and for many, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster has become a distant memory. In the West, the event is considered to be over Safety standards have been audited and concerns about the sector’s security and viability officially addressed It reminds us of our fragility in the face of overpowering natural forces tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes The country’s nuclear power plants were temporarily shut down and fossil fuel consumption rose sharply to compensate There’s also much work that remains to be done. Dismantling and decontamination will take several decades and many unprecedented challenges remain Radioactivity measurements on site cannot be ignored and are a cause for concern for the more than 6,000 people working there the risk of radiation may be secondary given the ongoing risk of earthquakes and tsunamis for many Japanese the disaster has a different connotation – it’s seen as having launched a renaissance Our research team became aware of the need to re-evaluate our ideas about the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster during a visit in March 2017 we discovered a hive of activity – a place where a new relationship between man The environment is completely artificial: all vegetation has been eradicated and the neighbouring hills are covered by concrete at the heart of this otherworldly landscape there are cherry trees – and they were in full bloom we asked the engineer who accompanied us why they were still there even though they block access routes for decontamination equipment where more than 60 buildings from the Meiji era (1868-1912) have been relocated The idea of ongoing reinvention is manifested in buildings that have retained their original function: visitors can send a postcard from a 1909 post office or ride on an 1897 steam locomotive We can better understand the relationship between this perception of time and events at Fukushima Daiichi by revisiting the origins of the country’s nuclear-power industry The first facility was a British Magnox reactor construction of the country’s first boiling-water reactor was supervised by the US firm General Electric nuclear power is a technology that comes from elsewhere When the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami struck in 2011 Japan’s inability to cope with the unfolding events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant stunned the world for the Japanese it is the nation’s soul that must be resuscitated Not by the rehabilitation of a defective “foreign” object Such symbolism not only refers to the work being carried out by the plant’s operator Since 2012, the Japanese public media organisation NHK has organised the “Fukushima cherry tree” photo competition to symbolise national reconstruction. Yumiko Nishimoto’s “Sakura Project” has the same ambition Nishimoto lived in the nearby town of Naraha Her family was evacuated and she was only able to return in 2013 she launched a national appeal for donations to plant 20,000 cherry trees along the prefecture’s 200-kilometre coastline The aim of the 10-year project is simply to restore hope among the population and the “determination to create a community” The idea captured the country’s imagination and approximately a thousand volunteers turned up to plant the first trees More recently, the “Miharu Takizakura” cherry tree has made headlines. More than 1,000 years old and growing in land contaminated by the accident, its presence is seen as a miracle and it attracts tens of thousands of visitors. The same sentiment is embodied in the Olympic torch relay which will start from Fukushima on March 26 for a 121-day trip around Japanese prefectures during the cherry-blossom season This distinctly Japanese perception of Fukushima contrasts with its interpretation by the West and suggests that we re-examine the links between Fukushima and Chernobyl Many saw the Fukushima disaster as Chernobyl’s twin – another example of the radioactive “evil” a product of the industrial hubris that had dug the grave of the Soviet Union In 1986 the fatally damaged Chernobyl reactor was encased in a sarcophagus and the surrounding area declared a no-go zone. Intended as a temporary structure, in 2017 the sarcophagus was in turn covered by the “New Safe Confinement” a monumental structure designed to keep the site safe for 100 years This coffin in a desert continues to terrify a population that is regularly told that it marks the dawn of a new era for safety The same applies to the nuclear sector as a whole where business has resumed more or less as usual The country is improving compliance with international regulations and increased its contribution to the IAEA’s work on earthquake response But this Western idea of linear time is at odds with the country’s own understanding of the disaster’s framework While Chernobyl accelerated the collapse of the Soviet Union, Fukushima Daiichi has become a showcase for the Japanese government. The idea of ongoing reinvention extends to the entire region, through a policy of repopulation. Although highly controversial this approach stands in stark contrast to Chernobyl Other differences are seen in the reasons given for the causes of the accident: The IAEA concluded that the event was due to a lack of safety culture – in other words organisational failings led to a series of unavoidable effects that could have been predicted – while Japanese scientists either drew an analogy with events that occurred during the Second World War or attributed the accident to the characteristics of the Japanese people Before one dismisses such conclusions as irrational it’s essential to think again about the meaning of the Fukushima disaster This article was originally published in French She was the firstborn of Carmen & Mary Scalzo who operated a small dairy farm she attended Fullerton Junior College for two years while also working at Disneyland WI to complete her Dental Hygiene degree at Marquette University At a live music event during her senior year Paul F Durand who played trombone in the band they moved to Shell Beach where Paul attended Cal Poly University Patricia worked as a dental hygienist in Santa Maria before giving birth to their first child they relocated to Diamond Bar where Paul and Patrick were born 17 months apart Patricia started what would become a 20+ year career as a dental hygienist with Dr Wm Elbert Paul and Patricia built their dream home on 120 wooded acres in the Blue Hills east of Rice Lake and embraced their new country life with gardening Paul died unexpectedly only two years later leaving Patricia a single parent of Michelle Patricia continued her work as a dental hygienist while raising her three children in their country home She rekindled her love of education;

A series based on diplomatic documents declassified by Japan’s Foreign Ministry Here is a collection of first-hand accounts by “hibakusha” atomic bomb survivors chefs and others involved in the field of food introduce their special recipes intertwined with their paths in life A series about Japanese-Americans and their memories of World War II In-house News and Messages No reproduction or republication without written permission Hashimoto Shōichi is the twenty-first head of Honke Daikokuya one of the establishments in the Takashiba Deko Yashiki group of craft-making companies in the hills on the outskirts of Kōriyama Here he works with washi paper to create hariko traditional papier-mâché dolls and other figures so it allows me to create hariko of any shape or size that opens the door to infinite possibilities for creative expression.” Hashimoto Shōichi holding a Miharu-hariko daruma doll Four workshops in the Takashiba district of Kōriyama have been in operation for over three hundred years This was once part of the domain of the former Miharu clan of Fukushima Prefecture providing the names for their wares: the Miharu-hariko figures and Miharuoma horses The first dolls in Japanese history were clay dogu and figures fashioned from wood called deku or mokugū The pronunciation of deku morphed into deko the “Takashiba doll houses,” which sell hariko crafts are a tourist attraction in their own right hariko became popular as toys and lucky charms,” explains Hashimoto “Peddlers sold hariko dolls all over the Tōhoku region and even as far south as Edo The Deko Yashiki Daikokuya Product Hall is the gateway to the Takashiba Deko Yashiki complex The Oichi-chaya structure to the right is a combined rest stop and lunchroom Exterior view of the Honke Daikokuya workshop The gray-roofed building to the left is a restored traditional farmhouse where Hashimoto exhibits his works Hariko figures are made by patting wetted washi onto wooden forms after which glue is applied and the forms are left to dry the wooden form is extracted through a cut in the figure an adhesive made by boiling fish or animal skins and bones The whole is then given a base coat of gofun before the final touch—the addition of a hand-painted design and masks have been handed down over generations at each Deko Yashiki workshop Wooden forms for a hyottoko mask a humorous depiction of a man sometimes used in dances at local festivals are brushed with oil to make the dried washi easier to remove Torn pieces of wet washi are pressed firmly onto a wooden form The forms are given a wash of gofun Eto figures for the Year of the Rat are shown here drying on a bamboo basket representing a rice bale The multiple layers of washi used for hariko-making afford a high degree of flexibility and allow the creation of elegant forms. The most common hariko figures are the 12 eto creatures of the Chinese astrological calendar representing parents’ hopes that their children grow strong and resilient tora figures were often displayed outside the homes of families with sons sent to war as a wish for their safe return just as the tiger always returns to its den after going far away to hunt The Takashiba Deko Yashiko is also a renowned producer of Miharu-goma wooden figures that come in either black or white The black koma represents the wish to be blessed with children or is a prayer for children’s health while the white one is a wish for longevity and security in old age Flexible washi lends itself to creating the dynamic The crisp angular lines of Miharu-goma horses contrast with the rounded forms of hariko A Miharu-goma was featured on the New Year stamp for the 1954 Year of the Horse The work of hariko-making consists of three steps: pasting washi onto wooden forms Hashimoto acts as his own salesperson and needs to wait on customers so his workspace occupies one corner of the sales floor The Takashiba area has long been a popular tourist spot and tends to attract many visitors on weekends and over the yearend and New Year holiday which keeps Hashimoto busy in the shop selling the eto and daruma good-luck charms that he makes Hashimoto recalls that until his parents’ generation hariko-making was a side business for farmers “My parents were really hard workers always busy out in the fields or making hariko But since they were so occupied all the time as a child I felt starved for attention and I had no desire to follow in their footsteps.” Hashimoto attended a fine arts university and became a high school art teacher but had to leave the job after six years to take over the family trade when his father fell ill Hashimoto’s creations are on display at the Honke Daikokuya atelier Hashimoto in a corner of his shop painting a design onto a Miharu-goma figure but he has long believed that the possibilities for hariko are infinite earthquake and tsunami disaster provided a major impetus for him to branch out in new directions Situated about 50 kilometers inland from the coast Takashiba was not harmed by the tsunami; the district is also on solid ground and the earthquake caused elatively little shaking or damage there which suffered reactor core meltdowns in the disaster and in the days immediately after the earthquake Hashimoto worried that he might have to evacuate Even though life in Takashiba continued relatively normally with electricity and running water available as usual Hashimoto stopped working for a time but eventually started up again motivated by the desire to help the affected Tōhoku region get back on its feet which represents picking oneself up after the ups and downs of life he decided to adopt the daruma as the symbol of the region’s reconstruction and revival efforts After locating a suitable wooden form in his storehouse Hashimoto got to work creating a “Pray for Reconstruction” daruma Compared to the typical round daruma shape Miharu-daruma are elongated and feature a red face and eyes flashing in a piercing stare to fund-raisers and events all over Japan to sell Tōhoku products He invited people to write messages of encouragement onto the body of the daruma an idea that received considerable media attention The “Pray for Reconstruction” daruma covered in messages praying for the revival of the devastated Tōhoku region Hashimoto’s activities for supporting Tōhoku brought him into contact with people outside the traditional craft world One of these was former Japan national soccer team player Nakata Hidetoshi who spearheaded the Revalue Nippon Project to promote and encourage the development of traditional crafts founder of the A Bathing Ape apparel brand and worked with renowned interior designer Katayama Masamichi to create a 2.4-meter-long hariko polar bear The scale of this gigantic figure was unlike anything that Hashimoto had ever attempted before but he said that the hardest part of the job was creating realistic-looking fur He succeeded by feathering the washi fibers to make them look like fur His creation became the most-featured item in the project The polar bear hariko exhibited at the Take Action Charity Gala 2011 The washi is feathered to create realistic-looking fur East Japan Project led by Kuma Kengo the architect who designed Tokyo’s new National Stadium Hashimoto was put in charge of designing a pen channeling two Fukushima folk toys Hariko-making skills are being passed on in many parts of Japan is the dearth of artisans who can make the wooden forms for the hariko who grew up watching his parents making hariko and who studied fine arts has been the ideal person to participate in Tōhoku support projects and take his traditional craft one step further Hashimoto created these folk-design inspired pens The koshidaka tora and the daruma Hashimoto created in 2016 in collaboration with fashion designer Koshino Junko are still sold at Honke Daikokuya having created hariko packaging for Cream Box sandwiches that looks exactly like the treats inside and has branched out into wearables like Deko Megane hariko eyewear and washi jewelry marketed under the Harico brand Adversity and opportunity are two sides of the same coin After the turmoil of the March 11 disaster Hashimoto went into action; his spirit of initiative led to many new connections and directions he is able to preserve tradition while creating something new Tiger figures by Koshino Junko sport distinctive zebra stripes This hariko packaging mimics the original Cream Box a popular local bread-based treat with a creamy filling the number of visitors to Takashiba Deko Yashiki has fallen by more than half As a former teacher who enjoyed interacting with students during hands-on hariko painting sessions Hashimoto is disappointed is that no organized school tours have been visiting Deko Yashiki at all over the past few years The Honke Daikokuya building is used for hands-on painting sessions by large groups But fewer school groups come through nowadays so the building is not used as often as before Fukushima’s farmers and fishers still labor under the stigma that their produce and catches are tainted I think it’s up to artisans like me to raise Fukushima’s profile and give it a more positive image Fukushima didn’t have much presence within Japan but now it’s known throughout the world and people everywhere are concerned about our welfare.” Hashimoto makes a point of traveling abroad exhibiting his works at promotional events for Japan He searches out local artisans around the world to compare notes with them and says he is genuinely surprised that so many people know Fukushima now He works hard to create a positive image for his home given that previous time and money spent on profile-raising activities by the prefecture and local tourism associations have produced little success Hashimoto dreams of holding a traditional Spanish celebration That festival consists of parading papier-mâché figures more than 10 meters tall through the city’s streets over five days a single figure is chosen as the grand prize winner and all the others are torched in a gigantic bonfire Obtaining information from Spanish artisans Hashimoto is working hard to bring the festival to Fukushima Hashimoto at the Fallas festival Hashimoto further describes his dream in these words “Fukushima is the home of some of Japan’s best-known hariko creations like the Aizu akabeko and the Shirakawa daruma I’d love to organize a festival where local artisans create huge papier-mâché figures and parade them around the prefecture an event that would culminate on the final day with a bonfire like Japan’s New Year dondo yaki bonfires A festival like that would really put Fukushima on the map It would also help draw attention to the traditional craft of hariko and encourage artisans to boost their skills.” and photos by Nippon.com except where otherwise noted.) Japanese students at CELOP held an event called “Matsuri: Experience Japan” The event featured some of the most popular aspects of Japanese art and culture including calligraphy There were over 30 CELOP students who helped make the event happen with some assistance from the BU Japanese Students Association The event was the brainchild of three CELOP students: Miharu Katsuragi Cultural events and festivals like this are proposed and executed by students with the the help of staff CELOP supports students who want to celebrate their culture and heritage and events like this are held throughout the year The student organizers of the Japanese Cultural Festival We interviewed the student organizers and asked them about organizing festival: Q: Why did you organize this Matsuri event Miharu: I wanted to introduce Japanese culture to foreigners I’m interested in why foreigners like Japanese culture I want to know why they are interested in them Megumi: I’m interested in cross-cultural communication and then Miharu asked me if I can join to organize the event I have been impressed by different cultures more than different languages And I feel Japanese culture is very original and introducing it to others Students got their names written in Japanese calligraphy Q: What was your experience like organizing this event Marino: At first I was worrying if it would work or not but it was sometimes so difficult for me to collect some Japanese cultural things like calligraphy tools Miharu: It was difficult to organize all the members Fortunately or unfortunately there were 33 members I think it is difficult to gather up their opinions Q: What have you learned from this experience Marino: We first wondered what to introduce to other people We don’t know what’s interesting for foreigners I didn’t expect that calligraphy and origami were popular So I think Japanese culture is more interesting than I thought Megumi: We had difficulty deciding how the survey is done Japanese people always answer surveys out of kindness Megumi: I learned the difficulty in cultural difference and how to overcome it I thought it was so interesting and we learned a lot from it I found how much foreigners like Japanese culture I want to introduce why origami is famous for Japan or how it’s different from American taste Program applications will be closed for system maintenance from Saturday, March 8th at 8:00pm EST until Monday, March 9th at 9:00am DST.

Tokyo Fukushima Photo: Phubet Juntarungsee/Shutterstock The 6 greatest cherry blossom trees of Japan and where to see themThese majestic cherry blossom trees in Yamanashi Okayama and Gifu are a few hundred years old Cherry blossom season is just a few weeks away in Japan and anticipation for the annual explosion of pink is building the fleeting beauty of the blossoms serves as a reminder of the transience of life and the importance of appreciating each moment While there are countless cherry blossom viewing spots across Japan there are three sakura trees that are particularly revered for their history and cultural significance we’ll cover the three great cherry blossom trees of Japan and where you can find them as well as some special mentions that are worth the extra journey.  RECOMMENDED: The official 2025 Japan cherry blossom forecast is out now Photo: Chen Min Chu/ShutterstockThe Usuzumi Zakura tree in Gifu is famous for its unusually soft pink blossoms The tree blooms in early to mid-April and is a favourite among photographers What's more remarkable is that it's over 1,500 years old and believed to have been personally planted by Emperor Keitai (the 26th Emperor of Japan) in the year 467.  The Usuzumi Zakura tree is in Motosu's Usuzumi Park nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains near Tarumi Station the park hosts a sakura festival with various cherry blossom-inspired treats including cherry blossom senbei (rice crackers) and sakura mochi Photo: Chen Min Chun/ShutterstockThis rare weeping cherry blossom tree in Fukushima prefecture is estimated to be over 1,000 years old and is regarded as a national treasure. The Miharu Takizakura is particularly striking due to its size with a height of over 12 metres and a circumference of 9.5 metres The tree is also known for its cascading branches which create a stunning waterfall effect of pink blossoms during its peak bloom in mid to late April Photo: Chen Min Chun/ShutterstockFinally, there's the legendary Jindai Zakura on the grounds of the Jissoji Temple in Yamanashi prefecture the Jindai Zakura is considered to be the oldest living cherry blossom tree in Japan and With a name that loosely translates to 'as ancient as the age of mythology,' the Jindai Zakura stands tall at roughly ten metres and boasts a trunk circumference of around 12 metres this 2,000-year-old tree has been facing challenges in recent times and the remaining third produces very few blossoms efforts have been made to preserve this historic tree such as protecting the roots and introducing nutrient-rich soil allowing the Jindai Zakura to develop new roots and branches Photo: Makafushigi/ShutterstockWhy there are only 'three' great cherry trees we'll never know. Estimated to be over 1,000 years old, the Daigozakura tree is possibly Okayama prefecture's proudest natural wonder Rooted on a small hill in the rural Bessho district of Maniwa the tree stands at approximately 7 metres tall with a trunk circumference of 7.5 metres It's said to have survived numerous natural disasters further cementing its reputation as a symbol of resilience and strength Photo: Kento Kodama/ShutterstockThis famous Nara cherry tree is named after the painter Sakai Matabei, who first spotted the tree in the early 17th century. Located in Nara's agricultural Uda City, the Matabei Sakura tree is believed to be over 400 years old and is one of the oldest and largest cherry blossom trees in Japan This stunning tree stands at a height of over 13 metres with a trunk circumference of 8 metres. In spring the Matabei Sakura produces both single and double-flowered blossoms Photo: Chen Min Chun/ShutterstockThe 330-year-old Wanitsuka no Sakura found along the Kamanashi River in Nirasaki has one of the lushest sakura crowns we've seen but it's not just the ample cherry blossoms that make it so impressive you can see the towering volcano of Mt Fuji in the distance giving Wanitsuka the best backdrop of any other trees on this list.  Thanks for subscribing!

Rio and Celia promise each other that they will have a long talk to make up for the time that they lost while they were apart. However, Aishia suddenly feels that something is about to happen and a few moments later several light beams appear around them.Ayase Miharu, who appeared in episode 1 Aisha begs Rio to save the people she saw in her vision He agrees and goes to the site only to find slave traders He defeats the slave traders and sets the people free his childhood friend when he was still living on Earth as Amakawa Haruto The season finale ends in somewhat of a cliffhanger, which is why I’m hoping it’ll get a season 2.Well, if the finale of Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles also hyped you with the sudden turn of events, you can vote for the anime on our weekly poll if you enjoyed the anime from its first episode until the last you can vote for it as anime of the season in the next few days.SynopsisMeet Rio: a callous orphaned boy living in the slums he realizes he’s actually the reincarnation of Haruto Amakawa While still reeling from this shocking epiphany Rio also comes to learn that he possesses extremely potent magical abilities and uses his new powers to solve the kidnapping case of a little girl and he’s rewarded by being enrolled into… a prestigious academy for noble children… Screenshots via Crunchyroll©北山結莉・ホビージャパン／『精霊幻想記』製作委員会 Movie exclusive character Kamen Rider Aqua will be making a return in Kamen Rider Zi-O This Rider debuted in Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max serving as a hero of the future who overcomes his fears and helps OOO fight an enemy of his own creation This will be the first time that Aqua appears in the franchise since his movie debut Source: Twitter Copy editor for TokuNet.

by The Yomiuri Shimbun Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker For an exorcist episode – and this was surely an exorcist episode if ever one existed – that worked pretty well for me The extremely rare dynamic of Natori and Matoba together made them more interesting than either of them is individually There was also a definite sense that hints were being dropped about Natsume’s connection to the Matoba clan though that might be me reading too much into things I still don’t like this side of the series as much as the other but it’s a part of the fabric of the story And necessary to move the plot along towards an eventual finale assuming Midorikawa-sensei ever decides to actually end the series Matoba makes a crack about how one should use the tools at their disposal This is obviously an old thing between the pair of them Objectively Natori is the more sympathetic of the two even if he tries to have it both ways with his vocation But I find Matoba to be the more interesting character Once more – and we see this a lot – the source of conflict and/or heartbreak is the gap in lifespan between youkai and humans One-eye is trying to destroy the Miharu clan When Masakiyo was the head of the clan he came to the mansion outside which she lived (this really is exorcist valley) and destroyed the powerful youkai attached to it stalking basically covers it) trying to get Masakiyo to tell her his wish so she could grant it He refused for years (maybe decades) but she finally overheard him say he wished the clan would disappear after he was forced to part ways with the woman he loved Matoba manages to get through the ceremony I found Bobozukin’s comment about the debt the Three Pillars owed the Miharu for “taking them in when they were starving” to be very intriguing but if we’re ever to hear more about that it’s to be on another day The implication here is that Natsume bears a burden too because of the rare power he possesses and that sooner or later he’s going to be forced to exercise it (no pun intended) maybe that will be at the heart of that mythical final arc because it highlighted the youkai side of the series the focus shifts away from Matoba and Natori to Natsume and the one-eyed spirit Although his actions save the Miharu house ceremony he doesn’t bring any powers to bear other than his ability to see youkai – and his empathy (Nyanko-sensei is characteristically unsympathetic to the damage this inflicts on him.) Natsume’s determination not to use his inherited powers – perhaps we’ll find more about them next week – and to destroy the Book of Friends a page at a time is one of his central ethical tenets and a root cause of his wariness around the exorcists Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Please consider becoming an LiA patron through one of the methods below A scene from "An Umbrella for Miharu," a Japanese independent film written directed -- and even subtitled -- by Yu Shibuya. (Courtesy of Yu Shibuya) tells American producers the budget of his upcoming feature film filmmaking is a whole other game," says Shibuya stage director and writer whose first feature film "An Umbrella for Miharu," just opened in Japan on Jan and the workers are protected all across the board it's customary for everyone to work for a fraction of the budget [and] double or more hours."

Luna Haruna is performing the show's ending theme song "Ripple Effect." By Yoshiharu Fujiwara / Yomiuri Shimbun Staff Writer Miharu Takizakura is one of Japan’s “three magnificent cherry trees.” Located in the town of Miharu in Fukushima Prefecture the tree is estimated to be over 1,000 years old “Takizakura” means “waterfall cherry tree,” apt nomenclature describing the tree’s drooping branches spreading out widely and the flower petals that look like a stream of water cascading down a waterfall When I walked under the massive tree in full bloom numerous branches and countless small blossoms filled my field of vision and I felt like I was bathing under a beautiful light pink waterfall That was early in April of 2018 and my first visit to the tree “You’re so lucky,” an acquaintance who took me to the tree said and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.” I wanted to see the spectacular view again this year but refrained due to the coronavirus pandemic I visited the Sato Sakura Museum in Meguro Ward as I had heard that six large paintings depicting Miharu Takizakura are on display in an exhibition titled “Sato Sakura: 100 Views of Sakura.” to my right was a folding screen with a painting that made the tree look as if it were floating in the night sky Myriad cherry blossom petals were depicted meticulously branches and ground were invisible in the darkness titled “Shunya Miharu no Takizakura” (Spring night a professor emeritus of Tokyo University of the Arts A remark by the artist is written on a note card: “The cherry blossoms were illuminated for nighttime viewing but the illumination was less bright than normal but it was a little dark for me to see and difficult to make a sketch.” A local group that works to preserve the tree asks that the intensity of the illumination be minimized Members clear weeds around the tree and dig holes in the ground to add compost “I used to play near Takizakura all year round when I was little,” said Fujio Hashimoto “I want to continue making efforts carefully to preserve the cherry tree but also for people who come from distant places to view its blossoms.” Miharu Takizakura was 11.65 meters tall in 1987 It steadily grew to 13 meters in 2000 and 13.5 meters in 2007 The circumference of the trunk at the base was 11.3 meters that year It is said that one reason why the tree is so huge is that a feudal lord ruling the area in the Edo period (1603-1867) enjoyed viewing its blossoms and ordered local residents to take care of it in exchange for exempting them from an annual land tax on the land surrounding the tree A Bon Festival dance song that has been handed down in the community for generations goes: “We can reach blossoms of Takizakura but we can’t break branches and take them away peach and plum seedlings along the roadside leading to the tree It is said that the name “Miharu,” which translates as “three springs,” comes from the fact that cherry peach and plum trees — all symbolic of spring — bloom at the same time in this town I stopped at a stall selling sweets associated with cherry blossoms and bought one with a cherry-flavored filling and then sat down on a bench outside to eat it over a cup of tea served by a local resident I will have the same sweet delivered so I can savor it at home while watching Miharu Takizakura livestreamed on the town government’s website Please view the main text area of the page by skipping the main menu.

When traffic sees the tree they are amazed by its beauty and desire to get their personal cherry blossom tree for their homes".The Takizakura in Fukushima is one of the ancient three notable cherry blossom timber in Japan.Usually the cherry blossom tree's lifespan is simply 15-20 years.However what makes these timber so splendid is that they have been able to stay for longer than a thousand years because of sensitive care from generations of workers (ANI) Jaishankar appreciates Japan's support for India over Pahalgam terrorist attack Rajnath Singh holds bilateral talks with Japanese counterpart Gen Nakatani thanks him for efforts to deepen defence cooperation Gen Nakatani expresses condolences on Pahalgam attack during India-Japan Defence Ministerial Meeting Japan's involvement to strengthen tech capabilities boost Indo-Japan collaborations in research & innovation Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to hold bilateral talks with his Japanese counterpart tomorrow Tokyo lodges protest with Beijing after Chinese helicopter "violates" Japan's airspace copyrights © aninews.in | All rights Reserved Namco Bandai has released a free update containing new characters and stages for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 The new characters are: the Japanese-born and Chinese martial arts master Miharu Hirano the Monaco-born and self-taught fighter Sebastian and the America-born free-style karate master Slim Bob The new stages are: Extravagant Underground (Russia) Find the first footage of the new characters and stages below.

It's not an ending where nothing happens and the inability of any character to change this kills the momentum of what might have been and it just isn't fulfilling on any level save for Miharu and Yoite's relationship This was once the series' greatest point of intrigue but at the cost of every other plot development it's hard to make us care about it anymore the standouts of the series are still the distinctive backgrounds and appealing character designs to say nothing of the juicy fight animation they deliver well.) A few cheats pop up here and there like blurring between extremes rather than drawing in-betweens and full of rich details like the style differences between Raikou and Raimei's swordfighting The further emergence of the Shinrabansho produces a blend of CG and texture mapping that is nothing special on a technical level and sometimes appears disjointed when the 2D and 3D elements blend but is certainly entertaining to watch as kanji crawl melt and dribble all over and around Miharu and bright green auras lash out violently in all directions particularly in the quiet denouement of the final episode with its tender melodies and resounding chords It is an excellent-looking series beginning to end and sweet on the ears to boot Funimation's exceedingly liberal reversion helped rather than hindered the series in its first half the writing tweaks downright rescue the series from a pit of writing cliches Where the original script again wallows in repetitious expositonal dialogue the English script smooths over every exchange with natural dialogue rich in character voice and adds insight to the long conversations rather than distorting them Several embarrassingly cheesy one-liners and spiels on the part of baddies and companions alike are also taken out in favor of more genuine-sounding speeches and the integrity of the characters' motivations is preserved if not enhanced This is the saving grace for part two of Nabari which is composed almost entirely of dialogue The big exception to this is a key scene in which a samurai makes it clear that he wishes to commit seppuku but changes his mind after losing respect for his master…at which point his second violently tries to enforce the ritual. The dub oversimplifies this cultural element by implying that the second is more of an assassin and severely downplaying the allusion to ritual suicide This may have been too substantial a change but in light of many other drastic improvements Acting performances remain strong in both languages with no singular standouts apart from perhaps Joel MacDonald's subdued but intense Yoite DVD extras include the standard load of trailers and clean themes, along with a very entertaining English voice actor commentary They discuss several series along with Nabari and settle all those rumors about the “special” relationship between Miharu and Yoite by confirming each and every one newbie VA Joel MacDonald shares an anecdote that implies he'll be at many conventions in the future Nabari no Ou has had trouble finding its audience since the beginning but the novelty of its softer approach to ninja warfare was well-executed and made it stand out from the crowd It's too bad that “different” doesn't always mean “better,” at least not here and the further the series has slipped into emotional turmoil at the cost of good storytelling the more the protagonist's token apathy relocates to the viewer Full encyclopedia details aboutNabari no Ou (TV) Release information aboutNabari - The Complete Series Part 2 (DVD) the hype about Asian elements is particularly heated from the smiling dolphin photo in Japans Miyajima Aquarium to the hype about Korean dolls represented by Loopy European and American meme players also seem to have a strong interest in Asian culture and they seem willing to pay for memes with Asian elements the account @XData under the X platform released a photo of a smiling dolphin This was the second time that the official X tweeted about the zoo meme it was confirmed that the whale was Miharu from Miyajima Aquarium The SOL version of Miharu attracted the entry of the giant whale holding the first place in MOODENG (the giant whale address: DBzhEXjxvuvpS9i9N8PhQXSqzkc8YPtKbfWLwcSmxZpp) Todays 12 AM (GMT+ 8) highest profit: 12675.41%; current profit: 1951.56% Todays 12 AM (GMT+ 8) highest profit: 1707.09%; current profit: 921.25% Todays 2 AM (GMT+ 8) highest profit: 305.06%; current profit: 60.65% the meme trend has not only been blowing in zoos @LoopySUI announced that CA was officially launched and Korean dolls represented by Loopy ushered in a wave of hype Loopy is a cute pink fox character created by a Korean designer Loopys image conveys friendly and optimistic emotions and is deeply loved by young people and trendy play enthusiasts Todays 12AM (GMT+8) purchase maximum profit: 57.39%; current profit: -3.84% often loved by collectors for its cute appearance and unique design Its image has big eyes and exaggerated expressions often combined with humor and some parody elements Labubus design style has received widespread attention in the trendy toy circle Todays 12 AM (GMT+ 8) highest profit: 93.4%; current profit: -1.6% Todays 12 AM (GMT+ 8) highest profit: 68.24%; current profit: -5.54% Zimomo is a trendy toy product and a character in Long Jiashengs work The Monsters series Zimomo is the leader of the Monsters and the group Todays 12 AM (GMT+ 8) highest profit: 86.23%; current profit: -11.76% Musk announced on the X platform that he would release a humanoid robot product on October 10 The poster was accompanied by the text We Robot ROBOT rose nearly 6 times in a short period of time and WR also rose nearly 20 times in a short period of time Some community members also included the previous uppercase and lowercase $Robotaxi in the watch list based on their guesses about the product names Related reading: Solana turns into Zootopia, Ethereum Robot emerges as a dark horse | What is the meme hype today?

缺乏沉淀注定了 SocialFi 这条路暂且还行不通，所以，名人价值在Web3中的变现路径是需要先分化、过渡再演进的。一个付费订阅制的社区，一个带蓝标的 X 账号，这种具备沉淀的Web2组合才是目前 KOL 的所需。而顶级名人的价值转化路径一直不够顺畅，就像一个有千万件货品等待倾销的大型企业，To B 不划算，To C 没载体。  从时间的货币化到影响力的货币化是路径摸索里较为成功的第一步，NFT 在很长的一段时间内都扮演着这个载体。但显然 NFT 强调稀缺、固定价格发售、缺乏流动性的特性，并不能让买卖双方都感到满意。这种形式兜售纪念品的方式，在 BTC 生态哑火后便暂告失败。 名人的价值需要一个新的载体，虽然答案早就藏在马斯克与 Doge 的故事之中，但这件事还需要一些契机。去年 Pump.fun 的发币热席卷币圈，Meme 潮随着美国总统大选共同进行，这个时期已然出现了各种民间发行的总统币。超高的涨幅与热度让币圈的一些幕后操盘手嗅到了机会，通过签约合同或诱导的方式让真正的名人本尊去进行发币，而其余部分则交由他们来操作。这听起来有点类似 MCN 机构与网红的合作模式，但实际情况却极为暴力。从凯特琳·詹纳（美国奥运十项全能冠军、川普头号粉丝之一）的 JENNER，到米莱总统的 LIBRA。以一条推文开始，一根垂直下落的 K 线完结。整个过程长则数日，短则不用数小时就完成收割。接着剧本往往是社媒上的大 V 开启紧急“查案”，发币团队发帖互相甩锅，最终不了了之，名人币的概念就在这一地鸡毛中诞生了。 但无论如何这条路径确实变得十分清晰，仅从初始成效来说 Meme 这个低门槛的分销渠道堪称完美，只是缺乏内在价值的名人 Meme 在热度消失，PvP 结束后又该何去何从？问题从载体转移到长存，AI Agent 能跟你讲人类的未来，RWA 能描述一个 Hundred Trillion 的赛道，名人币又能讲什么故事？ 特朗普给出的答案很俗套，他要为 TRUMP 的前 220 名持有者附赠一次“总统时间”，而前 25 名的持有者还能获邀参加第二天的白宫特别 VIP 之旅。名人币的价值支撑又重新回滚到了“时间”上，在我看来这种方案能救代币解锁的短急，却不能支撑代币价格的长期增长。 一个足够好的 Meme，理应强调情绪和叙事，而非赋能。名人币的价值不是名人的见解与时间，而是名人的故事与背后的情绪。特朗普的晚宴邀约更像是售卖一种超昂贵版的 Social Token，当总统时间结束后一切都将消散。如何营销好 TRUMP，特朗普背后的加密团队或许可以好好向 Doge 部长请教一下，Doge 捆绑的是马斯克与 SpaceX 和特斯拉。To The Moon 至今都是刻在币圈用户心里的口号，人民的货币使持有者坚信 1 Doge= 1 U，挑战传统金融符合加密的基因，事实上每一点都是马斯克在用自身的力量向大众兜售情绪，哪怕这些故事大部分都尚未成真。名人币的营销还有很漫长的路要探索，个人影响力的 Meme 化不该只是一条推文、一次利好那么粗暴。来币圈挣钱并不可憎，但至少得先理解币圈。 Blur 这个项目已经鲜少有人提起，记得上一次谈及还是在 Blast 启动积分制的时候。 随着 NFT 的叙事湮灭，很多故事都已经成为了过往，但 Pacman 给这个圈子留下的烙印并不会消失。Blur 能在当年屠龙 OpenSea 靠的是“Points+零手续费、版税+社交裂变”的三板斧组合，以一种 PDD 式打法完成了农村对城市的包围。空投当天刷满整个推特的橙色 Logo，我想没有任何一个 NFT 玩家会忘记。从营销的角度来说，Blur 的三板斧是无敌的，它不仅战胜了其它 NFT 平台想都不敢想的对手，还促使很多从未玩过 NFT 的用户加入刷分大军，只用几个月的时间就打破了多项纪录。自 Blur 后的几乎所有Web3项目，都将这套营销模版奉为圣经。 彼时苦 OpenSea 久矣的 NFT 玩家都在拍手称快，但 Blur 最终还是从屠龙少年变成了恶龙。先往小处说，Airdrop 3 是我第一次对Web3激励活动产生厌恶，Blur 采用了一种自爆式的打法换取 TVL 和交易量。在整个活动开始时我就曾说过 NFT 将会加速死亡。Bid For Airdrop 机制鼓励用户挂单但不实际购买，导致虚假需求和价格螺旋式下跌。机制吸引的是套利者而非真实买家，Blur 的 Token 价值一旦崩塌，所有蓝筹都要一起被葬送。而后来 NFT 的死亡，以我的视角看 Blur 的 Bid 激励是起了个头，而 Azuki 的 Elementals 系列推出则是收尾。当然，更多的还是要归结于 NFT 始终没有找到合适的路径（Pudgy 不算）。 积分制还引发了什么后果？首先是虚假繁荣，当奖励可视化后用户会将资产锁入各类协议，为的只是换取项目 Token。而项目方能拿着这些虚假用户数据和超高 TVL 到处融资，商议上所，习惯了以数据衡量价值的 VC 则亏损惨重。第二点是阻碍创新，项目做得好不如活动搞得好，真正有技术却不懂营销的项目被埋没。第三点是流动性的割裂，真正有价值的资产被锁定在各个协议里，只为了进行这场以为不会亏的游戏。第四点，也是最重要的一点，当积分制推出等于发币明牌，大量工作室和散户、鲸鱼涌入只为了争夺一块不大的蛋糕。要么拼数量、要么拼资金，散户人均分配小到难以弥补 Gas 的情况也时有发生，空投时代至此真正终结。 如今在Web3中积分制依然是主流模式，“积分挖矿”促使投机文化泛滥，而 Point Market 更是放大了这种现象。空投的激励使得早期用户与社区的本质变味了，数年前 Uni 开启的空投时代本意是好的，既促进了 DeFi Summer 又实现了真正的用户留存与增长。而在这个时代每有一个项目 Launch 都意味着资金的大撤退与一个“鬼城”将要出现，项目取消这种模式又将陷入更加被动的局面，两难境地之下，用户只能寻找新的栖息地。 以太坊是在蛮荒时代下依赖技术路径发展与对去中心化的坚守，才形成了后来如此广袤的生态。但成功的路径在每个时代下都不一样。假如放在十年前，谁又能想到腾讯复刻不了一个短视频平台，而淘宝最终被一个用户界面里全是砍一刀的电商淘汰。同样的在两年前，我也无法想象 Solana 有一天真的要绊倒巨象。但事实如此，在这个应用层停滞不前的时代里，营销和实用大于所谓的技术信仰。 两天前 EF 发布了三篇文章重申了以太坊的未来愿景与基金会管理结构，透露出来的关键信息其实也不复杂，一是 EF 的权利下放，必要时战略介入项目，不必要时主动退场。二是 EF 的领导层重组提升执行效率，强化与社区间的沟通。三是保持分型扩容的技术路径，此外也在探索 RISC-V 替代 EVM。虽然整体还是有些清真感，但 EF 也确实放下了高傲的姿态。 不过以太坊真正的问题是这些吗？我只能说有关系，但不绝对。上诉的一些改变主要集中于用户对 EF 的不满，不愿融于世俗同样是以太坊的病根，而这个人自然是 Vitalik。不理解也不想理解 Meme 其实并没有错，但错在 Vitalik 本身对以太坊还起着绝对的领导作用。一个市值 220 Billion 的项目由一个有些任性和理想化的青年主导，而这个人又不愿意接纳当前圈内的主流文化，那么此时的落寞也只是一种必然。不过，好在一众孤高的 Layer 2 中还有 Base 这样的火种能和 Solana 掰扯，如果我是 EF 的一员一定会向 CB 申请一些外援。 抛开阴谋论的角度去看待 BNB，至少 CZ 这个同样不理解 Meme 的领导者，有在竭尽全力的去接受这些概念。在出狱后的这段日子里也带出了像 DeSci 这样火热一时的赛道，只是缺乏西方基本盘的底子，让 BNB 的每次繁荣都略显短暂。 Solana 的胜利则在于更低的姿态，SBF 暴雷后的 Solana，与失去父母庇护的孩童毫无区别。面对以太坊这个巨物，它得抓住一切契机。从 Silly Dragon 这个催化剂开始，到后来的各种超级 Meme、Dapp、PayFi。我们在过去总调侃 Solana 是一条单机链，但从对生态的包容与支持来看，它却显得更去中心化。 并非是 Pump.fun 让 Solana 翻身，而是 Pump.fun 只能诞生于 Solana 这片土壤之上。这点与数年前的 Uni 和以太坊有异曲同工之妙。非技术用户的第一条链是 Solana 营销的核心理念，平民、易用、高效。在 Crypto 迈向西方大众用户的今天，实用主义至上，平民万岁。Solana 确实适合成为第一条链。 关于营销的故事，我在这里省略了 NFT 和 GameFi。如果未来两者还能复兴，我也许还会补上。加密世界的叙事，始终在技术理想主义与人性贪婪的撕扯中演进。Token 的上涨、项目的繁荣、公链的复兴，本质上都起源于一次成功的营销。过去我们倾听技术叙事，而如今我们要融于世俗。 原文作者：CryptoCharming（X：@CryptoCharming1） 编者按： 5 月 1 日，币安前首席营收官、PancakeSwap 创始人 dingaling 正式推出 LaunchPad 平台 BoopDotFun，其同名官方平台代币 $BOOP 市值 1 小时速通 5 亿美元，引发全网高度关注。BoopDotFun 的玩法和收益分配有何创新之处？加密研究员 CryptoCharming（X：@CryptoCharming 1 ）发文解析了 BoopDotFun 的收益机制和布局策略，Odaily 整理全文如下： 花了一点时间研究明白这个平台，想说写一写我的整理，已经看到不少有关 @boopdotfun 的介绍文章了，太粗浅的我就不介绍了，直接尽量讲重点就好，我觉得这个平台存在不错的机会。 简单来说， 平台就是围绕著 $BOOP 在转，它是 BoopDotFun 的核心激励引擎，或许 $BOOP 不只是平台代币，而是将成为整个 boop.fun 的奖励收益分配枢纽与飞轮核心。 当某个 cult token 成功从 Bonding Curve 满足条件、射出外盘（转至 Raydium 建立流动性池）时，就会触发一整串奖励事件，也是整个系统的最开端，我们接着看下去。 假设当天有 5 个 cult 射外盘，每个分得 200, 000 BOOP 备注：「cult 创作者与持有者」无需是 $BOOP staker，只需参与该 cult 即可获得对应 BOOP，简单来说就是你就算完全不碰 $BOOP，只要玩内盘打狗并成功撑到发射，就会有一些空投。 当某个 cult 成功射外盘，该 cult 代币总供应中的 5% 将空投给所有 $BOOP staker 备注：与每日 BOOP emission 无关，该空投是空投土狗 cult 建立当时就预留的 token 代币，按 5% 比例释出。 分给该 cult 的创作者与持币者（不需要 staking $BOOP ） 你该做的，就是找到能同时参与这两层奖励的角色结构，或者想办法找出策略来最大化收益，这些都可以量化： 追踪快要射外盘的 cult（看 Bonding curve progress），提前卡最后位买入，等射外盘后光速浇给，可以吃到： 我认为平台玩法的关键，就是 $BOOP 初始流通很少、竞争者少、分母小，早期质押者会吃到极高分润比例，所以自己可以好好想清楚究竟如何参与。而至于剩下估值想法，其实都是个人的信仰猜想，例如是否 Solana 有意扶持新台子、 $BOOP 代币是否有想像空间、这协议是否有趣且 make sense 等等。 原文链接 4 月 30 日，主办方 LBank 携手 Memecore 与 Shiba Inu 重磅打造的“ 1001 加密之夜”音乐狂欢嘉年华在迪拜地标 Bohemia Beach Club 震撼上演。来自 30 多个国家的 5, 000 多位加密参与者齐聚迪拜，汇聚 100+KOL 与 50+Meme 社区， 1001 加密之夜成为 Token 2049 期间最瞩目、最火爆、最 high 的沙滩音乐节。 作为 TOKEN 2049 期间最火爆最 high 的超级音乐节“ 1001

在热浪翻涌的舞台中央，LBank 线下市场总监 Kaia 与社区天使官兼风控顾问 Eric He 接连登台，激情发言将整场派对推向高潮。Kaia 满怀热情地回顾了 Meme 文化如何从边缘走向主流，并表示 LBank 将持续打造更多“让Web3更好玩”的线下狂欢场景，连接全球用户与加密世界。紧随其后，Eric He 以一句掷地有声的“上币最快、深度第一、盘前包赔”点燃全场掌声与欢呼。他热血展望 LBank 加速全球用户拥抱Web3的清晰路径与愿景，将这场汇聚全球Web3力量的 Meme 狂欢彻底推至沸点。 随着 400 架无人机升空，由 Memecore CBDO Cherry 现场解说并打 Call 助阵。“MemeKING”、“LBank”、“ 1001 Crypto Nights”等 Meme 生态符号在迪拜夜空璀璨绽放，一场属于Web3的空中宣言定格在星光与海风之间，刷屏社交平台，成为整场活动最具记忆点的高燃瞬间。 派对现场化身为大型 Meme 社交实验场，SHIB、WIF、SLERF、DOG、TURBO、NEIRO 等 20+热门社区齐聚互动专区，通过抓钱游戏、真人扮演、投票竞猜等轻娱乐玩法，共同打造一场跨链 Meme 文化秀，激活社区间的深度联动与交互。 参与者化身 Meme 文化的自传播节点，LBank 设计了一系列包括荧光彩绘、街头速写等沉浸式体验，让社交互动更具趣味性与记忆点。Meme 社交借此突破链上圈层，实现“病毒式”扩散，从小众兴趣走向大众潮流。当塔罗占卜邂逅智能合约，街头艺术撞上 Meme 叙事，这场由 50+社区共创的狂欢，不仅让链上社群走向线下人群，更宣告 Meme 文化正式突破次元壁，进化为不可忽视的文化力量。 活动现场化身为现实与虚拟交织的“沙漠绿洲”，灵感源自《一千零一夜》的布景装置——飞毯、神灯、金帐与棕榈树，共同构建出一个充满阿拉伯奇幻色彩的 Meme 幻想王国。不少与会嘉宾身穿阿拉伯传统服饰，穿梭于塔罗占卜、街头速写、荧光彩绘和角色扮演等互动区，在沉浸体验中打卡“爆款”瞬间，成为社交媒体的天然素材库。 独创的\"积分兑换系统\"成为全场亮点，参与者通过完成互动任务积累筹码，可兑换限量纪念品、定制酒水等独家福利，极大提升了活动参与度。来自土耳其的社区代表赞叹道：\"这就像走进了现实版的阿拉丁魔法世界，在迪拜沙漠里蹦迪聊 Meme，这就是Web3的魅力\" 在迪拜星空下的 1001 加密之夜，一场关于 Meme 价值的深度思辨悄然展开。围绕“Meme 究竟是加密世界的入口级产品，还是一场资本游戏？”的讨论点燃全场，Meme 的文化意义与生态潜力成为关注焦点。 LBank 社区天使官兼风控顾问 Eric He 指出：\"Meme 已成为加密世界的社交性货币，其天然的娱乐属性正在降低普通用户的认知门槛。\"Shiba Inu 核心开发者则强调社区价值：\"强大的社区共识是 Meme 项目最坚固的护城河， 2025 年我们将重点推进支付、社交等实用场景的落地。\" Memecore 团队从传播学角度补充：\"娱乐性并非噱头，而是打破圈层、连接更广泛人群的核心武器——只有足够好玩，Meme 才具备持续传播力。\"Solana 生态研究员描绘了融合趋势：“当 Meme 遇上 DeFi 的可组合性、叠加 GameFi 的互动性，我们或将见证一场价值与叙事的完美风暴。” KOL 的市场观察同样精彩，金句频出：\"迪拜用极致奢华重新定义了Web3的疯狂\"，\"Meme 正逐渐成为区块链叙事中最具传播力的表达形式之一\"。这些观点共同描绘出一个清晰的趋势：Meme 正在完成从亚文化符号到主流Web3入口的华丽转身，而 LBank 恰好成为了 Meme 资产文化的强力蓄水池，正在成为 memecoin 中的“隐藏的泵”！ 这场思想碰撞也迅速在市场上引发共振。根据 LBank 数据，活动当日，LBank 新注册用户超过 10, 000 人，现场参会人次超 5, 000 。同时多支热门 Meme 资产强势上涨：GORK 日上涨 105% ，TRENCHE 日上涨 85% ，VIRTUAL 日上涨 23% ，完美诠释了\"文化即价值\"的新范式。当 Meme 从社交裂变工具进化为生态基建，其文化共识正在转化为 Meme 世界流动性。 当电音鼓点与链上数据节拍交织，迪拜沙漠深处的夜晚被点燃，来自印度、巴基斯坦、埃及、沙特、土耳其等国家的 Meme 社区代表，身着各自传统服饰，共同汇聚于这场充满未来感的Web3狂欢。他们用阿拉伯语、英语、中文等多种语言交错交流，在迷幻灯光与合约地址的脉动中，书写属于加密时代的《一千零一夜》。 “加密和电音都是关于自由与创新，今晚的能量不可思议！”全球知名 DJ Nicky Romero 在台下接受采访时感慨道。而一位来自开罗的 Meme 爱好者则兴奋地表示：“和来自巴基斯坦、印度的不同文化社区，因 Meme 共同爱好相聚，这真的很Web3。” 游戏、合影、碰杯，这些瞬间不仅是派对狂欢，更是一次全球Web3生态的深度对话。东西方、南北半球的创作者、项目方、用户在这片“新月沃土”上汇流，一个由 LBank 连接的多极化 Meme 金融网络已然成型。 从印度到沙特，从土耳其到埃及， 50 多个 Meme 社区在迪拜星空下共同舞动， 10 多个生态项目在碰杯中激荡加密浪花。《 1001 加密之夜》不仅是一次文化、技术与未来的集体共鸣，更见证了 LBank 超越传统交易入口，不局限于常规叙事驱动的精神浪潮，而是成为 Meme 叙事的共同缔造者。当 DJ 的节拍与智能合约的字节频率同步跳动，Web3的边界在音浪中被重新定义。 作为 1001 加密之夜活动的主办方，LBank 不仅致力于链接全球优质加密项目、潜在 Meme 项目，更以平台为媒介、文化为桥梁，持续推动 Meme 叙事的多样性与主流化发展。从潜力 Meme 资产“上币最早”到首创“盘前包赔”机制；从 Meme 深度第一的交易平台，到如今打造“Meme 生态交互”的沉浸式场景，LBank 正在逐步实现\"全球 Meme 交互超级节点\"的战略愿景。 Meme 正以娱乐为语言，以社区交互为载体，构建起全球用户情感与价值连接的新范式。正如 LBank 所言：“我们正在构建全球 Meme 交互的超级节点。”在这片新月沃土上，一场围绕叙事权、参与感与价值共创的文化新浪潮，正悄然酝酿。 原创｜Odaily星球日报（@OdailyChina） 作者｜Wenser（@wenser 2010 ） 在此前的《ABCDE 停止募资，加密资本亟待“版本更新”》一文中，基于 ABCDE 停止募资一事，我们引出了一个话题——加密 VC 亟待版本更新以适应新的周期以及新的变现路径。随着加密市场的近期回暖，众多加密投资机构也开始了自己的表演，有人选择调整仓位，有人寄希望于新项目，也有人将目光瞄向了更贴合版本的链上行情、稳定币赛道以及 PayFi 赛道。 Odaily星球日报近期与多个业内一线 VC 机构进行了深度交流，希望在行业讨论中为加密 VC 探寻一条新出路，也为市场找到新的发展方向，供业内人士参考。以下内容主要来自 ArkStream Capital、YBB Capital 等机构采访，部分内容有删改。 在被问及该问题时，ArkStream 创始人 Ye Su（@allen_su1024 ） 认为，从更长时间维度来看，加密市场的周期分界线是 2023 年，在此之前，加密行业如同曾经的 AI 行业处于技术基座发展阶段，主要目标在于行业基础设施建设；在此之后，伴随着 BTC ETF、ETH ETF 的出现，加密货币主流化进程加快，由此，市场主要参与人群从 Crypto Native 人群向主流群体进一步扩散。具体而言的变化包括以下 3 方面： 周期逻辑：从以叙事和注意力为核心过渡到以实际应用与真实收入为核心的增长曲线。2023 年之后跌幅较小的代币都需要一定的业务支撑，历来被市场诟病的 ETH 跌幅也远远小于其他动辄下跌 70% -90% 乃至更多的山寨币种。 参与群体：从加密原生（Crypto Native）人群过渡到传统金融领域人群的加入，引发整个市场的估值模型产生了较大转变。相较于 Web2 行业种子轮估值在 2000-3000 万人民币的体量，Web3 行业项目估值动辄 2000-3000 万美元起步，这无疑催生了一定的行业泡沫，而进入新一轮周期的市场代币下跌一定程度上起到了挤压泡沫的作用，个人认为还需要经历 2-3 年的泡沫挤压期。 资产分发：从过往 ICO 时期的公平分发，到 VC 币的“高市值、低流通”阶段，再到现在的 Meme 币和链上发行模式。行业早期，VC 与市场散户站在同一起跑线、以同样的价格参与公募，没有锁仓，如今又回到了类似的模式，最主要的原因在于市场散户的核心诉求仍然是财富效应，哪种模式更能满足盈利需求，市场上的大多数人群才会追逐其后，这也是曾经的 VC 币逐渐落寞的原因之一。 而不变的，则是 Crypto 的主线趋势仍是金融 2.0 （Fintech 2.0），即，作为一个去中心化与智能合约协同赋能的全球账本，它的核心目标并非再造生产力新生态，而是服务于市场生产关系的改善——最高效的资产流转、分发以及去中心化运作，过往加密行业的游戏、社交赛道的重心仍然落在了金融属性方面可以佐证这一观点。 YBB Capital 联创 John（@John_YBB）也发表了类似观点，他提到：“变化的点在于——1.资产发行依旧是市场的‘造血引擎’，但相比于过去几轮周期中资产发行催生了多种叙事，且多次验证了 DeFi 赛道的成熟性以外，本轮周期更多是资产发行的门槛降低，链上流动性进而被堆高，最终带动了 Dex 及衍生工具的发展，这对于行业整体发展并没有太大的推动作用。2.资金结构在转型，比特币现货 ETF 管理规模突破 2500 亿美元，主权基金及传统机构纷纷入场，市场从散户驱动转向机构主导。 不变的点在于——1 .Meme 币投机、DeFi 伪创新持续引发资源错配等情况依旧是不变的。虽然底层技术迭代在持续，但目前没有匹配基建的应用落地。2 .比特币的‘数字黄金’叙事没有任何变化，但山寨币种与 BTC 的割裂在不断走强。” 整体而言，周期的力量仍然在发挥作用，整个加密行业仍然围绕资产发行、分发方式进行创新，但行业叙事经历了一轮又一轮的洗礼，已然陷入枯竭状态，最终只能寄希望于行业内生的“赌场规模效应”与行业外部的“主流化资产流动性引入”。 换言之，整个加密行业如今更为现实，趋利性本能也尤为强烈，基于这一背景，加密 VC 们的商业模式也有了新的变化。 回看过往，经历了 2022-2024 年这 3 年的加密 VC 无不感叹一句：“雄关漫道真如铁”，当下的市场变现模式相较以往已经发生了较大改观。 有时候你什么都没错，只是败给了时间和年份。但是对于下个周期的 Crypto VC，我们反而很看好，因为：物极必反。就好像 2000 年的 Web2 VC 在硅谷全军覆没，但之后的年份又成了孕育和投资创新的好年份。” 值得一提的是，去年的 TG 生态爆发节点下，我们通过地区性资源帮助不少 Web2 项目方通过 Mini App 的形式带来了一定规模的 Web3 新用户；再到后期，我们看到了 Pump.Fun 的发展前景也投资了一些 Meme Launchpad 产品，也没有错过 Meme 币一波又一波的浪潮。个人认为合理的并且长期的变现方式应该是伴随 Meme 热潮同涨同跌的生意，而并是割一波韭菜就跑的方式，能够为项目带来正向用户增长的事情是我们一直在做的事情，也是我们认为有价值的事情。 目前，YBB 主要聚焦于 Dex、链抽象及资产发行平台等圈内核心叙事，以及圈外结合Web3的 RWA、稳定币上下游、AI 等叙事；未来，则更期待 AI 经济、AI 行业上下游需求、资产发行平台衍生工具（如 GMGN 等代币追踪和分析平台），以及一些在技术成熟下有机会复兴的叙事（如 Metaverse）。” 关于自身业务重心，ArkStream 创始人 Ye Su（@allen_su 1024 ）的主要观点如下： 首先，从整个行业来看，2020-2022 年的牛市中，顶级基金的 DPI（分配回报倍数）可达 20 倍，中上水平在 5-10 倍，低于 5 倍的机构则相对表现较差；而在当前周期，普通基金的 DPI 大约为 1 ，优秀基金的表现则在 1-3 倍，极少数有更高回报，整体回报率大幅下降。 其次，以 ArkStream 自身为例，此前团队以一级 VC 投资为主，由于加密行业流动性表现较好，相较退出机制单一（只能通过上市完成资本获利了结）的 Web2 创投行业，解锁周期短至 1-2 年，相对容易获得流动性套利机会带来的高回报，这是加密行业的注意力经济属性决定的；2023 年后，受监管力量和交易所政策影响，不少项目代币的解锁周期延长至 2-3 年，甚至 4-6 年，流动性套利空间变小，一级市场红利减少，只有少数机构能获得高回报，所以目前 OTC 投资成为部分重点业务。通常操作就是，选择风险更易把控的成熟项目，流动性和折扣更可预期，投资周期缩短为一年左右，判断周期的难度相对降低了。 最后，就后续关注的重点方向而言，ArkStream 可以说是一家对 Meme 高度关注的投资机构，尽管从机构投资层面的动作不多，但一直都有关注包括 Trading Bot 赛道、链上衍生品这一类可以被称之为“在野派”的金融基础设施和链上新机会，以及相对更为“正统”的 RWA、PayFi 支付等“在朝派”的赛道资产。我们也期待后续能够与这两个方向的项目产生深度链接，欢迎创业者们和项目方联系合作。 综上来看，VC 机构的阶段性共识是，寻找链上交易相关的创新项目，结合 AI 等主流叙事，在流动性紧缺且集中的当下，期待行业内生性创新的出现，而这在一定程度上也受到了特朗普政府及美国监管环境的影响。 不得不说，特朗普当选并就任美国总统对加密行业的影响是持久且深远的，他的上台不仅助推了比特币新高的提前出现，而且为后续加密监管奠定了相对友好的政策基础。但此前特朗普掀起的关税贸易战一度让美股、加密货币市场双双暴跌，而他的后续态度和行动，也将继续影响整个加密货币市场。 正如 Waterdrip Capital 创始人大山此前在《全球贸易新秩序下的Web3创业新逻辑》一文中也曾提到：“自特朗普重新入主白宫以来，一系列出人意料的经济和政治举措令全球市场持续动荡。其中，引发最大震动的举措之一是关税政策升级。投资者对未来的不确定性依然充满忧虑，全球金融体系仿佛步入‘乱纪元’。 但另外一方面来看，一系列动作表明美国欲将比特币与黄金共同作为新金融体系的锚定资产。美元稳定币＋黄金＋比特币三者或将共同勾勒出‘美元新秩序’的雏形——既保持美元的法定地位，又以实物和数字资产做支撑，提高抗风险能力。 加密下半场，简单的流量打法已难以为继，取而代之的是围绕硬核价值的创业逻辑。在当前市场环境下，面向创业者们的新机遇方向主要包括：比特币生态（包括 BTCFi）、其他公链生态（含 DeFi）、现实世界资产（RWA）、支付金融（PayFi）、加密概念股等。” 而在讨论特朗普的影响时，YBB Capital 联创 John（@John_YBB）给出了不一样的答案。 他认为，“关税和贸易战对加密行业的影响并不显著，而特朗普上台后对市场的主要影响体现在波动性和流动性两个方面。 波动性而言，特朗普政策的不确定性对美股造成了明显冲击，而自从中国开始清退矿机和大陆用户后，加密市场波动性逐渐呈现出‘美股化’趋势，同时比特币现货 ETF 的完成也意味着 Crypto 走向了最终形态——美股化。现货 ETF 将比特币定性为商品，这意味着其在税收上需遵循与股票、债券类似的商品类规则。同时，ETF 也将比特币分为‘白色’与‘黑色’两部分：白色部分是在市场供需关系中，失去了去中心化与匿名性等原始需求驱动，仅保留可供投机的金融属性，其价值背书也从去中心化链条转移到中心化政府；而黑色部分则代表着仍保有原始属性的‘正统’比特币。但目前市场主导权正逐步向‘白色比特币’倾斜，最大的庄家也从民间力量转变为美国政府及其资本力量。 流动性方面的变化往往比政策本身更具杀伤力，在 Web3 中，注意力=流动性。特朗普通过 Meme 币 TRUMP 将政治注意力转化为资产，用‘身份叙事 + 资产铸造 + 舆论操控’构造了一个叙事型的流动性黑洞。” 针对“特朗普效应”，ArkStream 创始人 Ye Su（@allen_su 1024 ）认为需要从作为行业风向标的比特币所受影响去看。 在经历了“技术底座→主流资产”的 2 大发展阶段之后，特朗普上台及其政策的主要影响体现在，能否推动比特币向全球避险资产转型，未来五到十年左右，行业应该更多关注比特币能否实现与黄金同等的资产地位。尤其是美国的主权基金能否助推这一进程尤为重要。如果能够实现，那么比特币的增长空间仍然非常巨大，毕竟相较于黄金的市值仍然有 8-10 倍的空间；而如果无法实现，那么比特币的发展空间就相对有限了。 无论如何，特朗普颇具戏剧性与冲突性的各类政策措施，带给加密货币行业的影响是具备高度不确定性与机遇性的——前者体现在市场大盘的震荡波动以及特朗普本人借助 WLFI、TRUMP 等代币项目向市场施加的“价格影响”；后者则体现在比特币的避险属性的进一步增强、加密概念股、稳定币行业、PayFi 赛道等方面。 最后，我们以“加密市场是否存在错配情况”为结束问题，在了解了众多资本机构代表人物的主要观点后，笔者梳理的主要观点如下： 从微观上来看，加密市场确实存在市值与项目业务、估值与实际应用、代币空投与短期投机、交易所与项目方、项目方与用户等方面的错配，市场整体仍然难以在“预期驱动”与“价值落地”间找到平衡，行业的良性健康发展无法脱离对齐“用多少、值多少”这一价值逻辑，否则创新无从谈起； 而从中观乃至宏观层面来看，无论是散户资金，还是 VC 资本，所有的流动性只会流向效率更高的地方，哪里有造富效应，资本才会闻风而动，注意力热点也随之产生，无论是 Solana、Base、BSC 生态，还是 Meme 币、AI Agent 概念币、空投撸毛、交易所打新，都无法脱离用户市场。正如ArkStream 创始人 Ye Su（@allen_su 1024 ）所言：市场核心主要由用户需求决定，作为“沉默的大多数”的散户其实发挥着主导作用，因而产品和发行模式需随市场及时调整，而非一成不变。从这个角度来看，加密行业从来都没有简单的错配，而是行业周期和用户需求变化导致的结构性调整。 无论如何，加密永不眠，流动性如水一般奔涌流淌，最终能卷动波澜的，不是错配的项目，而是正当其时的资产。 继此前的《WAP、🐬、🧲，Meme 币 PVP 大战进入 Next Level？》与 Chillguy、MOODENG 等 Tiktok Meme 币之后，“意大利山海经”借助一系列抽象概念的 Meme 币从海外社交媒体平台火到了加密货币行业。这里有穿着运动鞋的鲨鱼、有木棍人、有战斗机鳄鱼，夹杂着无意义的意大利语口音，配合上短视频带来的“brainrot（脑腐现象）”，成了 2025 年度最抽象也最具洗脑属性的 Meme。Odaily星球日报将于本文对相关概念予以盘点，以下内容不构成投资建议，仅供读者参考。 以 Italianrot 合集为主打概念，合约最早上线于今年 3 月初，相对具备一定的 OG 属性与正统性，类似于此前吉卜力风格相关 Meme 币中 Ghibli 的定位，因而市值一度冲高至超 1200 万美元，现已回落。据 GMGN 数据，该代币目前信息如下： CA：BQX1cjcRHXmrqNtoFWwmE5bZj7RPneTmqXB979b2pump 代币信息 Sahur（TungTungTung），一个拟人化的木棍角色，类似于一个印度棒，经常拿着一根棒球棒，其名字引用了印度尼西亚斋月期间唤醒人们黎明前用餐的鼓声。据 GMGN 数据，该代币（社区 CTO 版本）目前信息如下： CA：DNrmDMs2czDaAwgzg2BmvM7Jn5ZqA6VN5huRqCrSpump 代币信息 BOMBAR（Bombardiro Crocodilo），一只与战斗机融合的鳄鱼，有时会穿着芭蕾舞短裙。早期的版本与关于中东轰炸的讽刺性言论有关。 据 GMGN 数据，该代币目前信息如下： CA：Ctp765BwYitk3ZJDLqHLEdVdbRpC1eoJCZpGb5c8pump 代币信息 据 GMGN 数据，该代币（社区 CTO 版本）目前信息如下： CA：8Y5Biziz3njt9NWc38cJuL76pdfyrvX6SnjtFPeDpump 代币信息 值得一提的是，Budget 航空公司、瑞安航空和语言学习应用 Duolingo 此前都模仿 Italian brainrot 风格产出了一些玩梗内容，这也为 Italianrot 这一风潮注入了一些严肃品牌的不正经氛围。 而最开始的相关元素则是一张于 2025 年 1 月在 TikTok 上出现的、由 AI 生成的巨大白鲨穿着耐克鞋的 Trarelelo tralala，这张 AI 图片还包括了一段人工合成的音频，这就是该类恶搞图片、视频通常伴随意大利解说员具有机器人般的音调的原因。 当 AI 每时每刻都在蚕食着人类存在意义的边界和个人价值的审视，娱乐至死、流量为王的短视频让各类无意义的符号、图像以病毒般的速度在全世界蔓延，“意大利山海经”中的各类抽象动物形象不仅仅是恶搞素材，也成为了消解严肃文化的一种非常规手段。 看起来像是神经病、精神病一样的内容，毫无意义甚至听起来有点抽象的声音，为无数 Z 世代、Alpha 世代的年轻人们提供了一个短暂的精神避风港，在这里，他们无拘无束，自由自在，无需考虑其他人的眼光，或许，这就是抽象 Meme 的生命力所在，也是无数抽象 Meme 币永远有自己忠实拥趸的原因之一。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktopv=6rMtd9jSPD8 https://cybernews.com/entertainment/italian-brainrot-viral-trend-instagram-tiktok/ 随着 BTC 的价格回暖，Meme 币赛道也再次好了起来，其中，以 Meme 梗图及 Pudgy Penguins 生态为主要支撑的 PENGU 代币近日表现亮眼——OKX 行情显示，其从 4 月 9 日的 0.0037 美元的底部价格一度反弹至 0.0134 美元，涨幅高达 360% 。截止撰稿前，PENGU 暂报 0.0124 美元， 24 小时涨幅 31.43% ；此外，Pudgy Penguins NFT 地板价上涨至 11.5 ETH，环比增长 20% ；过去七日交易量达 2, 097 ETH，环比增长 242% 。 在经历 Abstract 主网上线后，PENGU 生态再次焕发第二春，Odaily星球日报将于本文对 PENGU 代币近期动态予以整理，供读者参考。 此次 PENGU 代币价格的上涨，自然离不开 Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz 的奋力推动。 4 月 25 日，Luca 于 X 平台发文表示，PENGU 的高度看好者可以在评论区留下 ETH 钱包，团队正在筹备一些事情。随后，其强调道：“留下你的 Abstract 钱包地址。”此外，他警告道：“如果你的个人页面没有提到过 PENGU 的帖子，那就不要评论留地址，这是无用功。” 目前，这 3 条帖子的浏览量高达 160 万之多，足见胖企鹅这一颇具 Meme 属性的 IP 以及加密市场对 PENGU 代币生态的热情。 不得不说，得益于胖企鹅生态此前的良好成绩、可爱的 IP 形象与成熟的圈内关系，无论是加密资管机构、加密工具平台乃至加密交易所，都为 PENGU 代币及胖企鹅生态的对外传播宣传做出了不少贡献。 不仅如此，Luca 在 4 月 27 日还搬出了“终极王炸”—— 其于 X 平台发文表示，用户如果想通过谈论 PENGU 来赚钱，可以围绕 PENGU 创作 UGC、表情包和 X 平台帖子等内容，即可获得报酬。注册 Whop 平台（Odaily星球日报注：该平台为数字商品交易市场，服务于创作者经济，有“美版知识星球”之称。官方页面显示，目前已有超过 10, 000+位创作者通过该平台赚取收入，每月平均赚取 7, 382 美元，目前交易额已突破 11 亿美元，此前曾于 2023 年完成 1700 万美元的 A 轮融资），即可开启 PENGU 的增值之旅。 就此，PENGU 以一种另类的方式开启了自己的 Mass Adoption（大规模采用）尝试。 据 Whop 平台信息，用户可通过创作 PENGU 代币相关的 UGC 内容、Meme 梗图、X 平台帖子来获取现金激励，每 1000 次观看（Views）可获得 2 美元。就这样，Luca 把对外传播 PENGU 的任务通过 CPM 的形式分发给了广大的用户，堪称“去中心化传播”的典范。 此前，据胖企鹅社区负责人 Berko 发文表示，截止 4 月 25 日，胖企鹅相关 Meme 图已获得了 100 亿次的浏览量，以胖企鹅形象为主要 IP 的梗图本就能够俘获一批喜欢小动物、玩偶、玩具的人；叠加现在发起的 UGC 激励，PENGU 代币及胖企鹅相关形象或许在接下来的一段时间还将席卷包括 X 平台在内的内容平台。此举或将进一步助推 PENGU 代币的价格上涨与主流人群对胖企鹅、Abstract 生态的注意。 在众多加密项目中，胖企鹅或许是深谙 Web2 增长逻辑的一只团队，此前我们在今年 2 月对 Luca 的个人专访中也有提及，其 IP 团队的人数甚至是加密业务团队的 2 倍多。一直以来，Pudgy Penguins 生态也在围绕线下 IP、线上 Meme、Abstract 直播等重点展开，用 Web2 的内容逻辑、实体经济、创作者经济来助推品牌营销、代币增长。 而随着加密主流化进程的进一步加快，身为一家美国加密公司，PNEGU 及 Abstract 生态后续发展或许也将享受美国政策红利及机构支持，胖企鹅的未来发展仍然值得期待。 胖企鹅玩具 4 月 26 日凌晨，Solana 老牌 Meme 币 BONK 宣布发行自己的 LaunchPad——LetsBonk.fun，市场一呼百应纷纷高喊「LetsBONK！」。短短 24 小时便创造了 80 万访客、 3 亿交易量、 2700 个代币被创建，其中超过 70 个顺利发射，而同名代币 Lets BONK 更是在 6 小时内飙升 3000 万美元市值。 发行 LaunchPad 的项目如此之多，为何 BONK 能有如此大的能量？在开始的高潮结束后，BONK 是昙花一现还是就此起势？ 提到 BONK，许多人的第一印象就是「黄色柴犬的 LOGO」第二印象就是「Saga 手机的空投」。追根溯源这个黄色柴犬就是 Solana 手机销售的第一功臣，在 Solana 推出 Solana 手机之时是想要创造一个生态，第一步是发行手机但重点是创造一个以加密为先的应用商店，让加密参与者不受制于苹果和谷歌的生态。 但一开始手机的销量每天只有 20-30 台，即使是推广过后也销量也仅仅达到 50-60 台，想要卖完 20000 台手机可能需要数年。在 Toly 参加 Laura Shin 的播客时，他坦言只卖出了 2500 台 Saga 手机，但仅仅三天后仅仅一天内他们卖出了 15000 台，此时 Saga 的空投 BONK 已是手机价格的数倍了，通过空投 BONK 开创了一个新的模式，将实体产品与生态通过一个 Memecoin 打通。 Toly 在接受 Bankless 的采访时对此表示「我认为 Solana 的开发人员和 NFT 的开发人员是两个群体，他们之间有一些交集，但显然这是两种不同类型的开发人员，而 BONK 将两者联系了起来，手机变成 NFT，而 BONK 的持有者不得不关注手机应用的生态。」 转眼间 2 年过去了，BONK 也持续在 Solana 生态建设了 2 年，不管是 DeFi、GameFi、开发者社区还是应用程序介亲力亲为，至今已经建立了 10 余个应用并将$BONK 集成进了 100 多个生态体系中。而当 Solana 生态需要开启一场 LaunchPad 大战时，他带着 LetsBonk.fun 又来了。 在 BONK 官方发布READ「Reduce Supply、Expand Awareness、Accelerate Adoption、Drive Revenue」四大社区方针后的几个小时，BONK 推出了 LetsBONK.Fun，贯彻落实了「Accelerate Adoption」这个方针。「It』s not enough to talk about $BONK BONK 平台的交易手续费有 1%，其中一部分会用 BONKSOL 的节点做验证，并且其中部分会用来回购并销毁 $BONK，这同时也做到了「Reduce Supply」。平台一经推出便受到了 Solana 生态中一众项目方以及 OG 社区的支持，Dex 龙头 Jupiter、加密「Paypay」MoonPay、OG 社区 MonkeDAO「SMB 社区」、Solana 创始人 Toly 等核心圈人物纷纷「发来贺电 LetsBonk」。 LaunchPad 发布的前几个小时内，有三个代币横空出世形成三足鼎立之势。先是首先部署的第一个代币 DumpFun，凭借着先发优势在三个小时内冲上 600 万美元市值。但随着其他代币的强势，先天不适合炒作的 Ticker 便落入下风，截止当下已经几近归零至 8 万美元市值。 LetsBONK 是与平台 LetsBonk.fun 同名的 Meme，这也是一开始虽然没有特别高的市值，市场中认定他为龙二的原因，在第一波最高达到 50 万美元市值之后，被风头正盛的 DumpFun 吸血一度回归 10 万美元市值。而随着 DumpFun 的 K 线持续走弱，并且越来越多的 KOL、项目方、社区 OG 喊的口号「LetsBonk」，市场的关注度回归$LETSBONK，低开高走， 6 小时内暴涨至 3000 万美元市值，这也是 LetsBONK.fun 在发行后打的第一个「百倍币」，至截稿现已回调至 1000 万美元市值。 Hosico 原本为 Instagram 上粉丝数量 180 万的可爱猫咪，在 BONK 上发行的 Hosico 是吉卜力 AI 画风的 Hosico，在凌晨 4 点后突袭， 1 小时内涨至 1000 万美元市值，而不受其他代币的涨跌影响在 BONK 平台系代币中走出了独立行情，最高达到 2300 万美元市值，现报 1000 万美元。 NOM 是 OG 社区 MonkeDAO 以及健身应用 MoonWalk 的创始人，同时也是 BONK 的核心成员/发起人之一。社区对其的评价普遍正向，而在经历一次高至 500 万美元低至 90 万美元市值的过山车后，NOM 本人发布了一则推文感谢$NOM 的参与者并表示在考虑未来这个代币的应用，代币价格随即暴涨至 350 万美元市值，现报价回到 150 万美元。跟 LetsBONK 一样也拥有「社区口号」——「Trust in Nom」。 截止 4 月份仅一年半，Pumpfun 迄今为止已经持续卖出 340.3 万枚 Sol「约 6.29 亿美元」，成为了仅次于 Solana 曾经的扶持机构 FTX/Alameda 以外的第二大抛售体，在 Pump AMM 出现之前还仅仅是让 Solana 基金会和散户苦恼，而在创立属于自己的 DEX 后，企图垄断上下游的野心显露无疑。DEX 开始紧张了，至此「天下苦 PumpFun 久矣」渗透至生态的方方面面。 而即使是这样，Jupiter、Raydium、Meteora、Virtuals 等大大小小数几十个项目方祭出 LaunchPad 相继出战，但都反应平平。面对着如此多的商业对手，PumpFun 在 LaunchPad 恐怖的市占率与出货 Sol 的频率，饶有一种「你看我不爽却干不掉我」。 Meteora 曾做了与现在 Raydium 类似的事，就是提出 SDK 的战略，企图用人海战术慢慢蚕食 PumpFun 的市占率，但却没有成功，成效并不显著。而 Raydium 显然更加懂得链上 Degen 的心，作为曾经 PumpFun 的「好搭档」，在 2 月份 Pumpfun 选择不再在 Raydium 上发射毕业的代币后，Raydium 失去了很大一部分的交易手续费收入。 2 个月后他们准备的相当充分，先是派出了 cook.meme 对市场进行试探，「Cook」了两个千万美元市值级别的 MemeCoin 之后「Time、Symmetra」失去了后续的市场动力，便沉淀了一段时间，再次通过 LetsBONK 引爆市场，巧合的是 cook.meme 上线的宣传图上第一个便是 BONK 的头像。 现如今，Raydium 的 LaunchLab 已经集成了 6 个平台，并开启了交易奖励任务，激励用户在 Raydium 上直接交易，而 LaunchLab 在交易量上也初见成效，但后续如何发展还需要持续跟踪观察。 现 LaunchPad 以及 DEX 市场已经形成了多足鼎立之势，所有人都想要争夺这个诱人的蛋糕，Raydium 似乎已经计划通过「多品牌」的车轮战与 Pumpfun 的「单品牌」的垄断模式做对抗，而结果究竟如何还尚未可知，只希望在这场大战中更多的散户能够获益而让流动性回归市场。但在当前行情下「现金为王」，希望所有读者在市场中寻找机会时也要做好资金管理。

这一轮周期，市场不仅在资金方面，而且在关注度方面都已达到饱和。纵观每个用户群体，趋势都很明显：参与度正在下降，信念正在减弱，散户正在离开。如今的中心化交易所，即使价格飙升 100 倍也无法激发新的需求。 如果下一个边际买家并非来自加密原生投机者，那么他们可能会从由政策、必要性和现实需求驱动的结构性转变中出现，着重关注稳定币、合规渠道和 RWA。 探究创新周期的演变：超额回报为何常被二次开发者收割？ 技术的真正魔力很少体现在最初的发明中；而在于围绕它而生的生态系统。不妨将其视为复合增长。虽然创造新事物的先行者会抢占头条新闻并获得风投，但往往是第二波的建设者才能挖掘出最大的价值——那些在现有基础中发现尚未开发潜力的人。他们试图解决眼前的问题。在此过程中，他们开启了远远超出最初愿景的可能性。 回到 Crypto 领域，作者认为 Eigenlayer、Pendle、Pump.fun+Raydium 就属于“二阶爆发”的复合创新产品。 为什么本轮周期加密 VC 普遍不赚钱了？ 本轮周期中，加密 VC 的回报表现令人失望。诸多项目估值过高，代币价格在二级市场崩盘，VC 被社区以及散户推上批斗台，VC 的退出渠道受阻。 VC 必须回归基本面。未来的赢家将是那些具备实际应用场景、产品市场契合度和可持续收入模型的项目。 相关阅读：《比特币牛回？一级投资者却已死于锁仓》。 Binance Wallet IDO 项目生存报告 TGE 的估值不是“项目未来价值”的体现，而是对市场流动性、上所预期、叙事强度和做市系统的当下综合映射。Binance Wallet IDO 的流量效应依旧强大，但节奏掌控成关键。 TGE 模型正在去杠杆化，Wallet IDO 项目普遍低估值启动。Binance Wallet IDO 并不等于 Binance 上币。Binance Wallet IDO 提供的更像是一张进入 Binance 流量生态的试运营门票，是否能“转正”进入现货市场，仍需看项目上线后的数据表现、用户反馈与币安交易团队的内部考评。项目方需将其视作“主舞台前的预演”，并为之后的 listing、二级流动性支持做好充分准备。尽管首日价格波动较大，但项目的中长期表现更依赖于持续的运营能力、市场管理策略以及清晰的长期发展规划。 总的来说，Binance Wallet IDO 是一次「价值筛选器」，更是叙事验证。 KOL：我如何通过预测市场套利赚到 10 万美元 理论上，所有结果的概率之和应为 100% ，但现实中常出现总和达 110% 的情况。因为平台通常会收取隐性费用（「超额溢价」），且赔率由用户决定，导致大量低效定价。 判断是否存在套利机会的核心规则是：找到不同平台上的同一事件；为每个结果选择最低价格；若总价格低于 1 美元，即可套利；在结果明确前就获利了结。 注意：预测市场套利是延迟游戏，价格出现差异后，通常只有几分钟的时间窗口，请将这一部分自动化，确保各平台有可用资金，并清楚手续费。

领域的生命力取决于新流动性的注入，初期来源于受困于主流山寨币亏损的资深加密投资者转向寻求快速获利机会。随着领域扩张，散户也开始涉足这个高风险高回报的深水区。 相较于需要精细操作和深厚协议理解力的 DeFi 代币，Memecoin 凭借其低门槛、高不对称收益（即低投入高回报可能性）、以及万物皆可代币化（人物/内容/事件/梗图等）的无限创意空间，始终是投机活动的首选载体。Solana 则稳坐加密赌场庄家宝座。 链上狙击手末日？一文读懂 Virtuals Protocol 新发射机制 Genesis 根据官方描述，Genesis Launch 是专为 AI 代理代币分配构建的协议层原语，它将代币发射升级为证明系统。其三大核心特性包括：基于贡献积分的访问权限体系、链上透明可追溯的分配逻辑，以及保障参与者权益的自动退款机制。 Virtuals Protocol 的 Genesis 发射机制凭借贡献导向的分配模型与动态调整策略，为其生态内 AI 代理项目与参与者搭建了一个更为透明、高效的发射平台，不仅可以显著降低市场操纵风险，更能驱动 Virtuals 生态持续健康发展。 数据复盘 TRUMP 大户持仓变化： 86.9% 已清仓，有人浮亏超 3000 万美元 大户也扛不住暴跌， 86.9% 已清仓；有人盈利 2500 万出场，有人被割 3366 万美元。 尽管特朗普的“晚宴利好”暂时为代币注入反弹动力，但筹码高度集中、项目方疑似操纵的阴影始终挥之不去。当下的 TRUMP 代币，看似在利空出尽后迎来喘息，但其命运仍牢牢受制于名人效应与市场情绪的共振。对散户而言，这场过山车般的行情无疑是一堂风险教育课：在缺乏基本面支撑的 MEME 币战场，即便是“顶级流量”背书，也可能只是资本收割的华丽外衣。 另推荐：《教皇不在了，LUCE 迎新生？》。 从 Thunderbolt 雷霆网络出发，重新审视比特币闪电网络的设计逻辑 Bitcoin Thunderbolt 是一种基于比特币基础层的软分叉升级方式，它并非依赖第二层网络或跨链桥的折中方案，而是直接在比特币主链的协议级别进行改动，从根本上提升了比特币的可扩展性、交易性能与可编程能力。 Thunderbolt 的主要优势体现在“安全性”和“理论完备性”上。它是少数几个能做到：协议设计可以被证明是安全的；恶意用户在任何状态下都无法单方面获利。但它的劣势也很明显：部署复杂，主链兼容性，生态支持尚缺。 另推荐：《BRC 2.0 首秀：什么是 BRC 2.0 ？》。 以太坊的十字路口：重构L2生态与价值捕获体系的战略突围 以太坊正遭遇严峻挑战：不仅市场对 Web3.0 的认知转变，还面临着 Solana 等新兴平台对剩余市场份额的激烈争夺； Layer 2 碎片化、价值归属侵蚀、生态控制权稀释以及领导力不足等，进一步削弱了以太坊的用户体验和经济价值，并随着二层网络话语权的提升，动摇了以太坊的影响力。这些因素最终导致 ETH 出现了史上最剧烈的价格回调之一。 以太坊必须立即着手应对以下核心挑战：首先，需要强制推行健全的 L2 互操作性标准，以缓解碎片化并保留主网曾经定义的无缝可组合性；其次，必须从“与 ETH 对齐”的旧模式转向“由 ETH 主导”的生态模型，优先推进 L1 扩容与以太坊原生 Rollup，以重新确立控制权并最大化 ETH 的价值捕获；最后，领导层要向绩效驱动的决策方式演进，放弃“可信中立”，将关键基础设施统一到 ETH 代币体系下。 Base 正在「窃取」以太坊的 GDP 吗？ Base 通过 L2 模式快速起步，目前获得理想回报，但也将自己绑定在无法控制的以太坊扩展路线上，可能面临「供应商锁定」和技术债风险。 以太坊看似通过牺牲 L1 费用获得企业级客户，创造 ETH 新需求和更好用户体验。但长期经济关系是否可持续存疑——场景分析显示扩展瓶颈可能持续存在。若 L2 无法快速扩张，可能需要增发 ETH 来维持验证者收益（EIP 4844 后 ETH 供应量已由通缩转为可能超过 BTC）。 我们认为 Base 满意当前现状，但若以太坊 blob 扩展不力，其可能寻求 Celestia 等替代方案。以太坊亟需将文化从「价值观认同」转向面向企业的「安全即服务」商业模式。短期内以太坊基本面结构性衰退将持续。尽管随着传统金融上链可能改善市场情绪，但缺乏根本性改善催化剂。 另推荐：《飞跃以太坊疯人院》。 Solana 验证者迎变局：基金会意在去中心化，半数验证者面临生存考验 4 月 23

为什么每个Web3项目都逃不过 DEX？一部五年发展史告诉你答案 如今，当我们看到的 DEX 能承载项目冷启动、流动性治理、跨链路由、Launch 结构，甚至成为用户认知金融入口时，反而更应该回头看清：这一切并不是某个项目伟大的设计结果，而是整个链上结构自我演化的产物。 DEX 并没有“主动升级”，它只是不断回应周围系统的变化，不断承接结构空缺。它既没有写好计划书，也没有画出明确边界，却在 AMM、聚合器、ZK 身份、治理绑定中，一步步把自己变成了生态的连接器与启动器。它从未离开交易，但早已不止是为了交易。它从未退出中心，却慢慢退到了结构之中。DEX 的演化，从来不是一次完成的功能跃迁，而是一场仍在继续的协议重构。 在这个过程中，它真正守住的，其实还是最初那一点东西： 不是 Token，不是 Gas Fee，也不是滑点，而是——用户可以在链上自由地参与、协作、并塑造属于自己的金融秩序。 没有利率永续，DeFi 永远拼不完整？ DeFi 缺乏类似 CME 的利率永续合约工具，导致利率波动大、无法对冲风险。引入利率 perp 可帮助借贷双方锁定利率、实现套利与风险管理，并促进 DeFi 与 TradFi 融合，提升市场效率与稳定性。 从 Restaking，稳定币再到传统金融，Pendle 正在吃下整个 DeFi Pendle 项目本身构建扎实，数据透明，代币分布合理。团队履历与技术能力优秀，核心成员长期稳定，具备独立推进复杂系统的能力。代币结构上，尽管团队和基金会的代币已全部解锁，但整体抛售节奏理性克制，展现出良好的长期主义。Pendle 在“可托付性”和“中长期交付力”上表现出色，是典型的“硬核派”DeFi 项目。 从市场潜力来看，Pendle 所处的链上利率市场远未被充分开发，潜在市场包括：稳定币息差、LRT、RWA、资金费率，规模可能达到数千亿美元。目前 Pendle 已主导以太坊生态，在向 Solana、TON、Hyperliquid 等拓展。作为一个处于链上利率市场爆发临界点的协议级平台，Pendle 具备极高的长期成长潜力，但其发展仍高度依赖于利率产品整体规模的持续扩张。

基础设施，比如去中心化计算、验证、存储等。前两种通常更受散户喜爱，而第三种则是 VC 或投资人的首选，此类项目通常会需要相当高估值来承接。 AI 赛道新焦点？一文盘点 8 大Web3+MCP 项目 文章介绍了 DARK、SkyAI、Solix、Open MCP、HighKey、DAMN.FUN、DeMCP、UnifAI。 此外，政策与宏观市场方面，马斯克：五月将重返特斯拉，分配给 DOGE 部门的时间将大幅减少； 数据上，加密交易所交易量跌至半年低点，现货交易占比创阶段新低；Raydium LaunchLab 上线首周创建 3760 枚代币，毕业率为 1.12% ； 安全方面，慢雾 CISO：MCP 存在漏洞，用户与 AI 的对话会被泄露给恶意服务器；朝鲜黑客 Lazarus Group 利用美国空壳公司招聘诱骗加密开发者；KiloEx 公布安全事件用户补偿方案，对质押用户设立 10% 额外收益活动……嗯，又是跌宕起伏的一周。 附《每周编辑精选》系列传送门。 原文作者：Nico 编译｜Odaily星球日报（@OdailyChina） 译者｜Ethan（@ethanzhang_web3） 我已在加密货币交易领域的\"战壕\"中深潜多时，而此刻恰逢 X 上许多加密人士宣称这个领域已经\"死亡\"。 目前交易 Memecoin 产生的交易量已不及数月前的水平，TRUMP 确实在 Memecoin 心智占有率、交易量和流动性吸引方面达到了局部顶峰。但彼时 SOL 价格高达 290 美元，BTC 突破 10 万美元大关，整个牛市正如火如荼。随后 BTC 回调至 74-88 K 区间，SOL 更是在 95 美元处形成局部低点。但如今 SOL 已强势反弹至 140 美元上方（15 天内涨幅达 46% ），BTC 也重回 9 万美元关口，是时候重新评估当前局势了。 尽管 SOL 价格走低、市场情绪普遍看跌且充满倦怠，但数据却呈现出另一番景象。让我们通过四月至今的统计数据来观察： pump.fun 平台迄今已产生约 6.5 亿美元交易量，四月日均交易量在 100 万至 270 万美元区间波动，平均处于 150-200 万美元高位。 在 SOL 高价时期和 TRUMP 热潮后的交易量下滑后，四月交易量已显著回升。随着 PumpSwap 的推出和近乎无缝的迁移机制，围绕代币迁移事件的交易体验得到优化，这体现在平台周交易量的持续攀升。 至今已有 970 万种代币被创建，四月日均发行量 2-4 万枚，每日有 100-350 枚代币完成\"毕业\"，毕业率维持在 0.4-0.8% 。 毕业率随时间递减的现象与用户和交易量下滑相关，表明当前\"战壕\"中更多是小型团体在新代币发行时抱团囤积筹码，随后相互砸盘。当无法吸引足够流动性来维持代币价格时，这些团体往往会选择提前撤资。 2024 年 12 月至 2025 年 2 月高峰期间，每日有 20-40 万用户通过 pump.fun 交易 Memecoin 。此后用户量持续下滑，过去两个月始终低于 20 万。目前日活跃钱包数稳定在 15 万左右，新老用户比例均衡。需注意的是，多数\"战壕\"交易者使用多钱包策略，并会定期更换活跃钱包。 @AxiomExchange @bullx_io @tradewithPhoton @gmgnai @TrojanOnSolana 这些平台合计贡献超过 10 万日活用户和 1 亿美元日交易量，与市场观察相符。 Bullx：累计费用 1.86 亿美元｜AUM 21.5 万 SOL（约 3000 万美元） Axiom：累计费用 3900 万美元｜AUM 预估与 Bullx 相当（可能略低） Photon：累计费用 3.82 亿美元｜AUM 53.9 万 SOL（约 8260 万美元） GMGN：累计费用 6600 万美元｜AUM 预估至少为 Bullx 半数 据估算，Memecoin 领域流通的 SOL 流动性总价值超过 2 亿美元。下篇文章将深入探讨所有流动性池（LP）和代币的总价值。 PumpSwap 当前日交易量达 3-4.8 亿美元，占据 Solana 链上 DEX 交易量 9-19% 的市场份额。值得注意的是，由于所有新 pump.fun 代币都在 PumpSwap 发行交易，这表明仍有大量交易发生在通过 Raydium/Meteora 交易的旧代币上。 PumpSwap 收取 0.25% 的交易费用，其中： 上线首月即产生约 2500 万美元费用（日均 10-24 万美元），流动性提供者获得 2000 万美元，协议收入 500 万美元。随着 PumpSwap 市场份额的持续扩大（目前呈稳定增长趋势），预计该数据将继续攀升，这也印证了交易者更倾向于选择新代币而非旧币种的趋势。 新代币的优先交易模式与我对 Memecoin 领域发展的预判完全契合。近期\"战壕\"生存难度升级已是公开秘密，留存玩家多为历经 SOL 低价、交易量萎缩和用户流失等寒冬考验的\"老兵\"。 Memecoin 领域的生命力取决于新流动性的注入，初期来源于受困于主流山寨币亏损的资深加密投资者转向寻求快速获利机会。随着领域扩张，散户也开始涉足这个高风险高回报的\"深水区\"。 相较于需要精细操作和深厚协议理解力的 DeFi 代币，Memecoin 凭借其低门槛、高不对称收益（即低投入高回报可能性）、以及万物皆可代币化（人物/内容/事件/梗图等）的无限创意空间，始终是投机活动的首选载体。Solana 则稳坐\"加密赌场\"庄家宝座。 若问我对其他领域的潜在机会？除 Memecoin 外，Hyperliquid 及其生态，以及 fartcoin（因“热度”总是上升）或存机遇。但若有人认为\"战壕\"已死——任务尚未完成，一切才刚启幕。 Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 came out on Monday on TV Tokyo and its affiliated networks in Japan The episode picked up the narrative from the previous installment and revealed how Miharu and Aki ended up transported to the Strahl region from Earth timely saved them from the bandits and took them under his care one of the highlights of Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 was how it

the mysterious lights and Miharu's arrival Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers from Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 retains the same vibe as the previous installment but executes them slightly differently. The episode begins with a flashback scene, showing Haruto's promise to Miharu as a child. Although Haruto has to leave the town, he assures Miharu that he will marry her once he grows up After studying hard, Haruto enrolls in the same school as Miharu. However, he observes that the girl has found many friends with whom she feels lively. The narrative for Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 then shows Miharu, accompanied by her friends At that moment, a magical summoning portal opens out of nowhere and transports them to the other world and Masato find themselves in an unknown land with nothing but green mountains and vast fields in their sight they notice a rogue person who captures them Elsewhere in Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 and Rio notice six pillars of bright light shooting up toward the sky Aishia observes Miharu's arrival in the Strahl region She implores Rio to save them but doesn't specify their names the bandits forcefully throw Miharu's friends in a carriage to enslave them He shows the bandits the mobile phone and asks whether they know someone who may have dropped it Eventually, Rio hears a cry from the carriage, forcing him to act against the bandits. He effortlessly defeats them and saves Satsuki and Aki has also been transported to the other world During their conversation in Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 Rio recalls that Aki Sendo is Haruto's sister Rio assumes Haruto's mother must have remarried which explains why Aki and Masato have Sendo as their surname who are glad to see that Miharu and the others are safe Since Miharu and her friends are from Earth and don't know the native Strahl tongue, Aishia uses her magic to act as a communication link between them and Celia Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 shows Miharu and others enjoying a bath with Celia and Aishia where they learn about Aishia's actual identity as a Spirit Meanwhile, Masato wonders whether they have been transported to the unknown region like a game Although Rio hasn't played such games much Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 shows Celia wearing a casual dress given by Aki Rio feels they must purchase some necessary clothes. Meanwhile, Miharu asks Rio whether he knows how to get back to Earth. She also reveals that their two other friends may have been transported to Strahl.

Meanwhile, Aishia feels sleepy as she has used too much energy She almost falls asleep on Rio to recharge her mana Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 ends on a light-hearted note TMS Entertainment has done a decent job portraying the events from Yuki Kitayama's light novel series While the episode slightly deviated from the source material which relied heavily on story building and action the sequel's first episode commenced with lighter notes and Masato and their relationship with Rio/Haruto with just animation and decent composition The episode nicely set up the narrative for the rest of the season with an intriguing "Legend of the Six Wise Gods" lore Besides that, the main focus of Spirit Chronicles season 2 episode 1 was on the characters. Miharu, Masato, Satsuki, Celia, Aishia, and Rio all got their moment to shine in the episode.
