Startbahn, Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Taihei Shii) will provide its FUN FAN NFT solution for all four performances of the “Brahms Symphony Cycle” conducted by Alan Gilbert, scheduled for July 18 (Fri), 19 (Sat), 23 (Wed), and 24 (Thu), 2025. These concerts are hosted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra (hereafter “TMSO”).

Attendees will be able to acquire NFTs featuring concert-exclusive images and special audio recordings, as well as participate in a lottery for prizes.

■ About TMSO and the Background of This Collaboration


TMSO was established by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in 1965 as a cultural initiative commemorating the Tokyo Olympics. In recent years, the orchestra has been facing an aging audience demographic. To reach younger generations and broaden appeal, TMSO has actively adopted ICT strategies such as social media engagement and the use of e-tickets.

As part of these digital transformation efforts, FUN FAN NFT was adopted again following last year's successful implementation. In 2024, NFTs featuring exclusive images were distributed. This year, the campaign will make greater use of FUN FAN NFT’s attached file function, allowing for richer NFT experiences.

A digital stamp rally will be held at all four performances of the “Brahms Symphony Cycle” conducted by Alan Gilbert from July 18 to July 24, 2025.
