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.”

SHANGHAI TANG New Store Opening in Hong Kong

Shanghai Tang – The new Pacific Place store will open in December 2022. The new ready-to-wear collection – The Double Song “Double Song” and the latest lifestyle series – Ginger flower diffuser & candle (Ginger flower diffuser & candle) will be simultaneously in the Pacific Place store Grand debut.
Shanghai Tang launches AW2022 Women’s Collection — The Double Song
SHANGHAI TANG’s AW2022 Women’s Collection “The Double Song” is named after scholar François Cheng’s poetry collection “Double-Chant”. Inspired by the Chinese philosophical ideas of complementarity and moderation, the collection is infused with imagery of rocks and trees, as well as flowers, birds and natural scenery, to convey the interdependence and vitality of nature’s creations.
Designers used varying styles of Chinese and Western tailoring to unite contrasting characters such as strength, flexibility, sensibility and rationality. The collection reveals China’s natural charm accompanied by romantic and exuberant depictions of rocks, trees, flowers, birds and natural scenery. The intricate craftmanship and innovative design is an ode to classical Chinese beauty with a twist of the modern touch – the perfect synergy to convey the composure and elegance of contemporary women.
This season’s collection diverges from the typical silhouette of Shanghai Tang by achieving a greater integration of line and space that presents a stronger sense of rhythm and vitality. The garments are carefully shaped around the body while maintaining a sufficient level of spaciousness to create voluminous and flowing silhouettes that present more inclusive and diversified aesthetics.
Designers used abstract elements and techniques such as contrast and intersubjectivity to inject new ideas into the collection while adhering to traditional Chinese cultural imagery and artistic expression. Folding fans and flowy sleeves combine rigidity and softness, showing the beauty of Chinese etiquette. Meanwhile, ink flower patterns that transcend time with the elegance of their brushstrokes are an homage to Chinese scholars and painters of the past. Floral hot-stamping velvet, water-soluble embroidered lace and three-dimensional pleats are used throughout the collection. They reinterpret the brand’s unique artistic style, outstanding quality, and its never-ending exploration of traditional craftsmanship in contemporary Chinese fashion.
Natural tones and textures present the delicate emotions carried by the marriage of fashion and Chinese imagery. From rowans, otters, mulberries and blue butterflies of early autumn to the soft colorful atmosphere created by stones and trees on misty winter days, the collection explores the relationship between airiness and denseness by employing cascading colors and contrasting or coordinating patterns. It presents the co-existence of strength and softness in the garments. The collection’s shirts, suits and wide-legged trousers encompass the beauty of stiffness and agility with their lustrous satin textures. Simplified coats, parkas and lace co-ords explore the diverse beauty of women, presenting clarity and openness of the feminine character.

Laos is Open and Simply Beautiful in Any Season
VIENTIANE, LAOS – Media OutReach – 14 December 2022 – With Laos reopening its borders after two years in May 2022, international tourists from all over have been visiting the country and providing an encouraging boost to its tourism industry. The buzz is so positive that Laos has even earned a coveted spot on National Geographic’s Best of the World list for 2023, so plan your trip and pack your bags.
While there is a unique charm to Laos in every season, one of the most popular times to visit is between October and March when the country experiences warm and dry weather. To luxuriate in even cooler weather during this time, one could also head to Northern Laos, where temperatures in villages surrounded by mountains might even require you to put on a jumper!
The dry season is especially conducive for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, exploring caves, tubing, kayaking, or taking a slow boat ride down a river as well.
From April to September, Laos experiences hot and humid weather thanks to the scorching sun and refreshing rainfall. However, the monsoon season is also a special time to witness nature take on a lush green color and resplendent waterfalls shroud nearby areas with a magical mist.
It is always advisable for tourists to prepare for the weather and embrace the Lao philosophy of bo pen yang, or “never mind”, should plans need to be adjusted.
Laos has festivals all year round so whether you visit in April, October, or any month in between, there will be majestic cultural festivals to enjoy.

Zenyum: First impressions matter, and so does your smile! 84% Hong Kong singles find a nice smile more attractive than a six-pack
Zenyum and Coffee Meets Bagel launch findings of joint survey “Smile At First Sight”
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 14 December 2022 – Although this concludes the third year of living with COVID, the pandemic has never stopped us from making new connections. A joint survey conducted by Zenyum and Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB) have found that 84% of singles in Hong Kong are attracted to a nice smile on a first date rather than other physical attributes like a six-pack. Titled “Smile At First Sight”, the survey sought to discover what singles really want in a partner and what the general sentiment is around dating in Hong Kong.

“This survey proves that despite the COVID lock-down and emigration wave in Hong Kong, people in the city are still very optimistic about going on quality dates,” said Steven Wu, Managing Director of Zenyum Hong Kong. “Be open, be honest, and be yourself. Go out there and meet people you feel you can build a meaningful connection and share many smiles with. People are most attractive when they smile!”
“A smile is the key to unlocking the magic on your first date,” says Dawoon Kang, Co-founder and Chief Dating Officer from Coffee Meets Bagel. “Attractiveness is more than physical traits, a kind smile is what people long for after this prolonged period of masked faces.”
Smiles or six-packs?
When asked about the post-COVID dating outlook in Hong Kong, 1,782 CMB app users say that they are active on the dating scene. 75% of respondents have spent more time on dating apps post-COVID, despite the difficulties brought about by closures of public spaces and limited availability of dating locations. Over 80% of them still desire to meet new people. In the past two years, 66% of app users have experienced a date getting cancelled or failed to attend a date due to the closure of public spaces. 60% felt it was harder to find a compatible partner in Hong Kong due to COVID restrictions, travel bans and the wave of emigration. Yet 81% of respondents expressed strongly that they would not skip a date or stop meeting new people due to the fear of COVID.
Some common misconceptions are that you need to be well-off or look like a movie star to get matched with someone on a dating app. Yet regardless of gender, the most important traits we look for in a partner are their personality, confidence and a kind smile. The top three qualities in the survey results include honesty (76%), a nice smile (60%), and intelligence (52%). Other interesting findings were that 10% of respondents believed star sign compatibility was important and 3.5% wanted their date to be a K-drama fanatic!
First impressions do count, but not in the way you think they do. Physical attributes like height (57%), straight teeth (49%), and cute dimples (23%) are still appreciated by many, but the highest ranking physical attribute that almost all users like is a nice and kind smile (84%).
In fact, over half of Hong Kong singles believe that their smiles (58%) and personal style (63%) are key to attracting the right date! Rather than just chasing after a six-pack which only 14% of respondents voted as an attractive or very attractive physical trait, it is still important to maintain those pearly whites to dazzle your date.
Another aspect that users highlighted is the importance of personal hygiene on a first date. The survey highlights the biggest turn-offs for our respondents, such as bad breath (65%), body odour (63%), and dirty fingernails (62%).
Profile Photo: Gym selfie or Cat pics?
How do you prepare yourself for a first date? First of all, it is important to look presentable and have good hygiene. The survey has shown that a smile is a curve that sets everything straight, so work on keeping your teeth clean and flash a big smile to make an excellent first impression.
Uploading a profile picture which shows you smiling widely will also make a strong statement about your personality. Ditch the gym selfie and party photos for a nice candid shot. Only 7% stated they would swipe right to a gym selfie and 96% voted against party shots. It is important to flaunt that smile on your profile, and even better if you have a furry friend in the frame!
Showing your teeth when you smile also exudes confidence; make sure you are not posing too much and keep it natural. If you are out of ideas, why not upload a photo of yourself enjoying some good food? Not only will this highlight your great taste, it can also serve as a good conversation topic when you meet your date.
First Date: Icebreakers and Deal breakers
When you are on a date, it is best to avoid conversations about your ex, your family or your pet peeves. Too much information shared on a first date can be a turn-off for many! 77% strongly believe that it is not good to speak about past relationships and 43% prefer not to talk about their family on a first date. Instead, respondents feel it is better to talk about your lifestyle (67%), favourite food & drinks (65%) or travel destinations (55%). One fun fact is that 34% of respondents do not think that talking about Netflix shows is a good icebreaker. So try building the conversation around other hobbies or shared values instead!
Live, Laugh, Smile!
“I’ve always been misunderstood because I had an unapproachable expression when I first started my career since my buck teeth made me very insecure about smiling. Now I’ve learnt to embrace my unique smile and take good care of it” said Val Cho, a member of the girl group “Strayz”. “I know a lot of friends who’ve had great experiences on dating apps, and many have even met lifelong partners online.”
“Being unclean and unkempt is the worst turn-off. Always maintain a good smile and appearance to charm your date,” said ViuTV artist Kilby Chan.
“Looking tidy with a nice scent would set the stage for a perfect date,” said Westtung Leung, the champion of Miss Mask Pageant 2. “A nice and attractive smile would be a big bonus too!”
Some singles also shared their best dating tips including uploading pictures of yourself without a mask, being honest and cutting out pretentiousness, and meeting up in person to avoid an endless chain of text messages. Users were asked to share one piece of advice for singles looking for a long-term partner in Hong Kong. The top five were being honest, punctual, having confidence, being who you are and smiling.
Four Key Survey Insights
Here are some quick dating app tips that our survey respondents have shared to help you in your search for a long-term partner.
1. Use a profile photo with a toothy smile
Invest some time in finding a photo of yourself smiling confidently to show your personality. You can even spice it up by taking a photo with some of your furry friends.
2. Groom yourself before meeting your date
While everyone may have different tastes for the perfect outfit, having a nice and kind smile always works. In addition, never underestimate the power of looking clean and tidy. Nothing is more off-putting than having bad breath, stained teeth, body odour, and dirty fingernails with that fancy outfit.
3. Prepare conversation topics for the first date
If you do not have the gift of the gap, start with common topics like your favourite food and drinks, or top travel destinations. Contrary to popular belief, talking about recent Netflix shows can be tricky, unless you are sure your date has watched the same show and that they are not bothered if you reveal a couple of spoilers. After getting warmed up, sharing your dreams and aspirations is a good option too. However, avoid going too deep into personal matters on the first date.
4. Make yourself more kissable
White, straight and clean teeth would definitely make you extra kissable. Keep your appearance neat and tidy too so you look more attractive to your date.
