◆ 1. Overview (What is ACC)ACC (Artist Connect Coin) is a social media that supports the activities of all artists and creators without distinction between professional and amateurs, and revitalizes the industry worldwide. As for artists, we tend to be caught in a narrow range, such as singers and musicians in Japan, but we are thinking about "creator" of all genres all over the world. And with the reward of token as the key driver, we will connect the demand and supply of the world of all creations.
Using ACC (Artist Connect Coin), rebuild the business model
① All artists (painter, illustrator, cartoonist, singer, performer, game creator, photographer, dancer,
Performers, etc.), providing sponsors (media, gallery, studio, live house, concert hall,
(Participation of Web contents), creation, practice, provision of presentation place (event planning, SNS utilization), advertisement, support of outgoing (media, advertising agency, web site utilization), existing electronic payment circulation Relaxation of expensive platformer clearing fee problem
② Collaboration among artists
Realize exchanges among artists of all genres around the world, discover artists of all genres all over the world
③ Globalization and opening of distribution platform
If artists, creators, brands try to build media based on their own strategy, billing methods, advertising methods,
Since it is difficult to independently design technical elements such as work protection technology (DRM etc.) and distribution specifications, distribution side responds to various requests from contents side, from usage cost to delivery method It is expected that the distribution platform will be formed.
There, a system that can flexibly respond to the value, pricing method and business model according to the request of each content is prepared, and transparency ensuring the operation status of the system can be checked for each content It is necessary that it is being done.
Furthermore, the type of content, geographical conditions of artists and listeners etc.
Well, I think that it is desirable to be a distribution platform that can be shared globally and openly.
In other words, the media side will provide a distribution platform that can synergize between labels, contents, and in other industries as well, so that various media strategies can be realized for each content. In addition, block chain can realize data reliability at lower cost than before.
◆ 2. Market Size We Aim and the Attractiveness of Existing MarketsFor the long-term market (mobile commerce market), it is over $ 200 billion in 2014 and the $ 628 billion market in 2018 forecast.
(According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan) Looking at the number of users, in 2016 the number of Internet users is about 3.42 billion people (46% of the total population) in the world, the number of users of social media is about 2.31 billion (About 10% higher than last year), it is a very promising market.
Among them, I would like to attack from the Japanese market as the first step.
First of all, in the block chain technology, the Western countries are leading the way, there are few main players in Japan, and additionally, overseas players can not operate domestic business by Japanese revised fund settlement law, Regarding domestic players, it is necessary to exceed the big hurdle of business registration.
This suggests that once you establish a position as a pioneer in Japan, the wall of language will be our big weapon and conversely the possibility of establishing a standing position as an exclusive player.
In addition, Japan's GDP is the third largest in the world with 4,9 Trillion dollars, which is still the largest market in the world with its foreign net assets boasting the world's largest share.
On the other hand, it is always a situation that you miss the global platform because you always have a language barrier of "Japanese".
We think that this is the market that Japan should aim for.
By acquiring an overwhelming share in the market left behind from the global perspective of Japan, the way to advance into the global market afterwards is a reasonable competitive strategy, which will increase the success probability of our service .
In addition, the main members were born and raised in Japan, needless to say that they are familiar with their culture and business rules, and that they have been doing business in the target market for many years.
I think that starting this business in Japan is our best policy at this time.
◆ 3. Platform growth strategy in this developmentWe are assuming four STEPs as a growth strategy of services in the Japanese market.
① Japan aims to alleviate the problem of settlement fee which manufacturers and publishers have in response to existing game and animation markets with strength, and will contribute to the expansion of the entire market by revitalizing the distribution of professionals more.
② Establish market share in niche areas (virtual currency, discover artists and creators, etc.)
③ Expanding to the domain of every word-of-mouth site (from information on download content, live house, rental etc. to cooperation with major promoters, overseas market intervention)
④ Develop new services based on accumulated artist information. We will redesign our business model, globalize and open distribution platforms, and collaborate with artists of all genres worldwide.
For example, we hold galleries that display and sell works of worldwide artists, hold events by various genres, etc. We will connect artists of all genres around the world to anywhere in the world.
◆ 4. Introduction and features of the platformACC is a social media platform that revitalizes the artist market itself, flexibly responds to diversifying contents and needs, from providing artist development, providing a representation place, producing support and building a global market is.
1. Because our tokens are simple, the rules of platform development are simple.
2. Dare to tolerate instability of the virtual currency and keep long-term platform maintenance by suppressing the inflation rate.
3. We have the vision of promoting the final goal "to lead the global market", beyond the boundaries of the country and genre.
※ The following is adopted as a simple platform image from things under development of our company so as to make it easier to image.
◆ 5. Introduction of ACC's content featuresWe will introduce the function of ACC.
Introduction of artists, professional, corresponded to all genres, all demands without the barrier of amateurs.
Provide creative / practical, presentation place Functional studio, live house, concert hall, media, Web contents etc. to do the operation cooperation.
Produce planning support function for all events Respond to event planning support, mobilization support, goods production sales, artist matching and so on.
◆ 6. Expansion of high-quality markets① Develop new sales channels (open) We will support the development of new sales channels as well as SNS.
As a new route, we will develop sales channels targeting all contents around the world.
We will make a system that can exchange directly on the supply side and the demand side.
② Strengthen overseas development (globalization) It is thought that artists of all genres worldwide can transmit to the world and build a worldwide market.
③ Promotion of small lot business and promotion of flexible response As demand grows more and more diversified, it is necessary to create a system that does not miss offering opportunities even in small lots. Currently, as mega hits are getting less, it is not necessary to focus on existing hits, but also small lot business needs to be considered.
Until now it has been said that small lot products are less profitable and less likely to become a business, but we will challenge all possibilities including support for indies etc.
◆ 7. Why can we return value to peopleOur tokens can not have value on their own but if the ACC token is worthy enough to be recognized if it is recognized that it is worth the platform of the ACC and if ACC is listed on the exchange it will trade at a high price It will be done.
At first glance it may seem skeptical, but this scheme has proven to be feasible, as it has already earned high reputation in the same scheme.
◆8. About the future of ACCTo be acknowledged as a truly valuable platform, there is the most important thing.
It is to provide a platform that users want to keep using for a long time.
There are several ways to do that, but I'd like to take up the nature of the token as one thing.
First of all, we will issue 150 million tokens in the beginning.
Regarding the number of 150 million copies, the target market, that is, the number of people officially recognized by the countries of the world's artists, and the number of providers of some kind of creation by the private service, the world population ratio, the age Distribution, and the economic growth rate of emerging countries, and it is necessary for a healthy market formation while keeping the value above a certain level over the long term.
ACC tokens will be distributed to users who contributed.
Those who own ACC tokens and strive to develop the platform
I think that it is important to create a mechanism that can acquire more tokens as it is.
However, we believe that it is impossible to prevent the incentive of withdrawing immediately after increasing the token and selling it at the exchange after just leaving the token with ACC if this condition alone.
In this regard, we will use PoB's technology to manage marketability and safety.
◆ 9. How is a token created / distributed?Although ACC is planning to raise funds through ICO, we plan to issue 150 million copies in the beginning and sell half of them through Ethereum.
The upper limit of the distribution is 75 million pieces, and the remaining 75 million pieces will be owned by us.
This is because we have a healthy incentive to develop our platform as the reason why we hold 75 million pieces and 50% of the whole. In addition, in the event that unsolds occur at the time of token sale, we will take the process of temporary holding of management.
However, please note that we do not have the decision to create the value of the platform, because we own the most amount of ACC token holdings.
In addition we will never sell this owned token unnecessarily. We will limit the sale of tokens possessed by us to a maximum of 5 million sheets or less per month and will operate with consideration not to adversely affect the value of the ACC token of the market.
Also, when ACC tokens are listed on the virtual currency exchange and are treated as virtual currencies, they can exchange with other virtual currencies.
For distribution destinations, we will distribute 10% from the management side holdings to artists who are recognized as having made excellent works.
Contribute to the ACC platform and treat people who possess many tokens as the most important stakeholders and set as rules that people can benefit more.
◆ 10. Block chain technology used in ACCThe technology that is most suitable for the purpose of guaranteeing the reliability of the people we aim for is the block chain which is the core technology of ACC.
As represented by BitCoin which realized currencies and settlements requiring the highest level of reliability on a worldwide basis without the central manager, in the context of securing reliability block chains compare to existing technologies It boasts overwhelming superiority.
This may be a level that is not comparable at all and you should understand that the case is fundamentally different.
The market realized by BitCoin is a social change unexpected, we have the highest respect.
Currently, there is no precedent for building people's credit information on block chains at least in Japan.
And once we can build this, we are confident that we can secure overwhelming superiority.
◆ 11. FinanceThe following is an important factor as to how much token will be worth in the future.
1. Participating Artists Create Market for Approximately 10 Million (Number of ACC Target Artists)
2. Form an organization capable of managing tens of billions of dollars market (operating members, application development members, etc.).
If we sold 75 million planned items, we believe that the average value of the works and contents sent by artists from around the world will be about the same as the value of one ACC currency when 100% of the planned number of circles is distributed.
Please be aware that these figures are the result of trial calculation based on the assumption that the virtual currency market will grow in the long term.
In addition, because it is calculated with 5% data which is the only market size published only in Japan, assuming that it contains data that is not published outside the country or in the country, The unit price, the scale of the rise is expected to rise along with participating countries participation of markets not included in Japan.
※ Reference artists · creators See data games · music · cartoons · images only.
Other Japanese markets and oversea market data which are unpublished markets such as painters, flower arranger, photographers, etc. are currently not included in this.
Although we can not simply compare, we will list the figures on the market size of the two worlds.
(1 USD = 113 JPY)
Art Market $ 64,600,000,000 Scale Game Market $ 79,625,000,000 Scale.
Even if we take up only these two markets, I think that you can recognize that if you look to the world, it is a very attractive market, even though it is a table number that is only for Japan's market.
Considering the market size as artists and creators, we regard it as a non-negligible market, we want to grab this opportunity with the ACC platform and connect great people.
◆ 12. Usage of procured fundsIt is a supposition to use tokens in the following applications and proportions.
1. 30%: Assigned to development members.
2. 30%: marketing expenses for user attraction.
3. 10%: Application fee for approval as a domestic business operator.
4. 20%: Costs for members who cooperated early or partners who will cooperate in the future.
5. 10%: Cost for support to artists.
Regarding the amount that exceeds the planned procurement, basically it is supposed to invest most of marketing expenses, but we are considering the possibility of using it for the following applications as well.
· Construction of a stronger back office (accounting / legal affairs).
· Enhancement of user support (because inquiries to virtual currency services are enormous).
◆ 13. Corporate management policyIn order to conduct sound management, we aim for clean and clear management.
Therefore, we would like to pursue management based on the following rules.
1. Transpare the situation of the project in the slack community.
2. Also disclose communication between members.
3. The direction of the company and the change of the grand rule of the media shall be approved by the majority vote of the owner of the token.
By steadily operating this rule, we believe we can realize the creation of an organization that can challenge the next generation of management and manage it with people who really support the company.
◆ 14. About the ICOOur ICO will start from 11 o'clock (JST) on 15th December 2017.

About the ICO process
ACC's ICO process proceeds with pre-sale → token sale → listing on the virtual currency exchange.

◆ 15. ConclusionI will thank you for having a long relationship.
What we want to realize is to build an environment for all artists to raise creativity, build a market on a global scale, connect the artists around the world and create bonds.
It is also to realize a platform that gives a reputation of reward without burdening the wonderful talent.
In addition, as the future of ACC, we have the ambition to lead the world as a platform with an improved artist quality and transform it into a platform where new waves are born.
As you read, we are seriously burning to the realization of this platform.
It is a unique opportunity to realize our ideal world and we think that it is an opportunity to challenge it while receiving your support.
