Tia Lee (Lee Yu Fen) Announces Global Launch of #EmpowerHer Female Empowerment Campaign After Making Worldwide Return

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 14 December 2022 – Tia Lee (Lee Yu Fen), a global C-POP singer, film and television actress, and fashion icon, today launched the global #EmpowerHer campaign following the successful release of the “Goodbye Princess” music video (MV) on 9th December 2022. It has already achieved significant success with over 1 million in 10 hours after premiere, and within 5 days after the premiere, the viewership on Tia’s YouTube channel exceeds 26 million viewership, breaking the record for C-pop songs. As of now, “Goodbye Princess” garners an overwhelming combined almost 42 million views on YouTube and Weibo, the MV marks Tia’s comeback as a global solo artist and her bold resurgence as she rises above and conquers her past challenges.

With “Goodbye Princess” symbolising Tia’s evolution into a new, empowered and uplifted version of herself as she explores her new world, the global #EmpowerHer campaign aims to reinforce the song’s themes of female empowerment and encourage all women to bravely embrace their true selves, become stronger and build a more promising future.

The Creation of the Global #EmpowerHer Campaign

Inspired by her own personal journey and renewed inner strength, Tia launched the #EmpowerHer campaign to rally women and girls worldwide to believe in themselves, say goodbye to stifling obstacles, and stand up taller and stronger in the face of any adversity. Overall, the campaign aims to support and promote the ‘Female Empowers Female’ concept and benefit as many female-centric charitable causes as possible on a global scale to create a greater good for the global female population.

The campaign’s selected beneficiaries include Daughters Of Tomorrow in Singapore, Beats By Girlz and Women in Music in the United States, Teen’s Key in Hong Kong, and more. As the #EmpowerHer campaign hits its stride globally, donations will be channelled to these beneficiaries during the campaign period, supporting their operations and goals to build a better future for women.

To get the ball rolling in support of these charities, each view of the “Goodbye Princess” music video will help to empower women around the world. Every time a viewing benchmark is met a donation will be made to the #EmpowerHer campaign, one of the biggest initiatives to support the empowerment of women worldwide. The #EmpowerHer campaign will split up to a maximum of HKD3.8million (approximately USD$480,000) between the selected charities. Tia chose the figure 3.8 million because of its significance as the date of International Women’s Day, March 8th.

“Our goal is for every young woman to have the opportunity to follow the path they envision for herself. In our eyes, success is when young women become independent, confident, and capable of making their own decisions. Tia’s journey of resilience inspires not just our girls and young women, but also the world – giving us the confidence to believe that we are all unique and each of us has the potential to create a future filled with more possibilities than we can even imagine. Thank you for such a meaningful initiative! It is a pleasure to be one of the beneficiaries of the #EmpowerHer campaign,” said Rachel Chow, Resource Development Manager, Teen’s Key Hong Kong.

“Donations like those from the #EmpowerHer campaign allow Women in Music to educate, empower, and advance women in the music industry. We’re delighted to be included alongside other non-profit organisations working to create change,” said Nicole Barsalona, President, Women in Music.

“Daughters Of Tomorrow” is delighted to be the benefiting charity for the launch of Tia Lee’s “Goodbye Princess” and the #EmpowerHer campaign, which seeks to inspire, uplift and empower women. This resonates with DOT’s mission of empowering women through economic means, enabling them to uplift their families,” said Fannie Lim, Executive Director of Daughters Of Tomorrow. “We recognise that every person has their own journeys – milestones to check, circumstances to overcome and aspirations that they wish to live for. Recognising that everyone has dreams of their own, our role is to cheer each one towards creating a better tomorrow for themselves. We wish Tia Lee great success in empowering many more women during this campaign.”

“Beats By Girlz is delighted to be a part of the #EmpowerHer campaign. We have a shared vision of empowering women and gender minorities through music and are happy to be doing this work in partnership with Tia Lee,” said Erin Barra, Executive Director, Beats By Girlz.

Rise of the Global #EmpowerHerDance TikTok Dance Challenge

Dancers around the world have risen to the challenge of covering the signature choreography to “Goodbye Princess” on the short-form video platform TikTok, featuring energetic yet rhythmic full body movements and a signature ‘goodbye’ hand gesture. The upbeat, unabashedly feminine choreography embodies a revitalisation of Tia’s mind and body after overcoming past challenges in the fashion and entertainment industry, setting her free to express her own strength.

Among the earliest dancers and personalities to have joined the dance challenge include globally renowned Australian-Filipino dancer and choreographer, Hannah Balanay, Australia’s most popular creator on TikTok last year. She is best known for her dance to Dua Lipa’s song “Don’t Start Now”, which went viral on the platform.

The emergence of this dance challenge has birthed the hashtag #EmpowerHerDance, which contains all the videos of the dance covers and further lends strength to the global #EmpowerHer campaign.

Tia Lee has championed female empowerment throughout her career and has made it a key focus of the “Goodbye Princess” campaign. Prior to releasing the MV, Tia launched an associated 6-part animation series that told the tale of her journey in the music and entertainment industry through a creative synergy of music, animation, and fashion videography. Her story of bravely overcoming obstacles resonated with many, garnering a viewership of over 100 million within a month and putting the pre-release campaign well on track to become the most successful engagement campaign of all time by a C-Pop artiste.

Beyond her music, Tia has also advocated for female empowerment in beauty and fashion. She has joined many A-listers such as Justin Bieber and Alicia Keys on the covers of popular magazines such as Vogue and ROLLACOASTER, and has used these illustrious platforms to spread her message of inner strength and empowerment – as well as to inspire other women with her story, which is built on a strong foundation of persistence, hard work, and self-belief.

The “Goodbye Princess” MV and full pre-campaign series with complementing fashion videography can be watched on Tia’s social media channels.

DMM.com Builds First Blockchain Game on Oasys, Selecting The Chain As Its Foundation For Web3 Gaming

Kanpani Girls RE: BLOOM, the reboot of DMM.com’s hit game title, Kanpani Girls, will be released globally in Q2 2023 as the first blockchain game published by DMM.com.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 14 December 2022 – Oasys, a gaming-optimised blockchain built by gamers for gamers, today announces that it has been selected as the blockchain of choice for the development and launch of leading Japanese entertainment company DMM.com‘s first blockchain game, Kanpani Girls RE: BLOOM.

DMM.com announced its entry into the Web3 business in early 2022, and has begun developing blockchain games with support from Japanese Web3 game developer, CryptoGames, whose major titles include CryptoSpells and NFT Wars. In its Web3 business, DMM.com has officially selected Oasys as its foundation due to its fast transaction and zero gas fees for users.

The first game is the blockchain-based successor to DMM.com’s original mobile and browser turn-based role-playing game, Kanpani Girls, first launched in 2015. DMM.com will be building its own “Verse” on Oasys’ Layer-2 chain, which Kanpani Girls RE: BLOOM is expected to be released sometime in Q2 2023.

Oasys recently launched its full Mainnet on 12 December and also completed a USD20 million private token sale round in July which DMM.com participated in.

Daiki Moriyama, Director, Oasys, said: “We are passionate about leading the mass adoption of blockchain games by creating an ecosystem for players and developers alike to transition from Web2 to Web3, where they can play and create next-generation games. We are thrilled to be able to continue working together with DMM.com to accelerate their involvement in the Web3 economy, and in doing so, becoming a better hub for all blockchain games.”

Kanpani Girls was a popular browser-based game published by DMM GAMES, with a peak total of 2.5 million player accounts. Set in a medieval fantasy world, players assume control as the president of an all-female mercenary company as they travel through a mystical world.

In its design, Kanpani Girls RE: BLOOM will honour the dedicated playerbase of its predecessor by providing enhanced content that enables players to fully enjoy the “exchange of value” concepts found in Web3 gaming by incorporating elements of blockchain technology that can better facilitate gameplay experiences. A major feature of the new game will be that each character acquired will be prescribed unique attributes and corresponding value.

The game will be multiplayer-enabled at launch and allow for strategising and communications between players, with no change to the ethos of the original game. Kanpani Girls RE: BLOOM is available in English as well as Japanese, allowing it to be played globally.

Yusuke Nashiki, Producer, Original Kanpani Girls, said: “It has been a long anticipated wait for our beloved players but we are now finally able to relive our precious memories and love for Kanpani Girls on the blockchain. There is a new and dedicated team hard at work to implement the new game system and re-establish the game as a favourite among fans, but also for new players.

As a fan of Kanpani Girls myself, I look forward to seeing how the game will play out and how developers will address any concerns over the game’s development philosophy. I am certain that players will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds – experiencing a brand-new game on the blockchain while also celebrating all the things that made the original Kanpani Girls great. Our players’ opinions are what makes our games great!”

Ryuma Mihara, Producer, Kanpani Girls RE: BLOOM said: “Nice to meet you. Kanpani Girls RE: BLOOM Producer Mihara. We restart Kanpani Girls as a new, blockchain-based style. The title “RE: BLOOM,” came from our wish that existing fans to enjoy Kanpani once again as well as new players to be aware of its fascination. Inheriting the soul from the producer Nashiki of the old Kanpani Girls series, we are currently working in good faith to deliver a new experience of browser game that adds a new element of blockchain game while respecting the world view of the old title. Every support from the players encourages the development team. Stay tuned.”
