ArigatoMax
is the genuin symbol of universal "Thank You".
WHAT IS ArigatoMax.
ArigatoMax is a global tool to express "Thank you" to those who support the realization of dreams and those who are supported.
At the center of ArigatoMax are entertainment projects from Japan by top creators and a new economy system.
This unique economy system will help globalize the entertainment market and enhance brand power.
Then, we will contribute to the joy of the world through entertainment by fusing the entertainment fan community with our unique economy system, centered on "Arigato" fans in the global market.
PROJECT
The ArigatoMax project provides an economic system in which creators and supporters work together to create entertainment and other projects.
In the conventional system, it is very difficult to evaluate the value of entertainment as an intangible asset, so the allocation of management resources and production policies at the production site tend to be self-regulating.
The function of the new economy system provided by ArigatoMax is not limited to financing, but will also take the lead in the basic policies of entertainment production through democracy.
