ONE, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Satoya Hatanaka; hereinafter referred to as "ONE") will Co-host the first event of "ONDO" on March 18, 2023, with Friends With Benefits (hereinafter referred to as "FWB"), a social DAO consisting of over 4,000 members including artists, builders, and philosophers who are interested in crypto and culture.

About “ONDO”:

Launch party of “ONDO”, Co-hosted by FWB and ONE.

FWB has been holding events in NYC, LA, SF, and London, and now FWB and ONE will hold "ONDO", a collaborative event for crypto and Japanese traditional culture in Tokyo. We hope this event will be a “Ondo" for the mass adoption of Web3. ONE also plans to hold "ONDO" regularly in the future with the aim of further developing FWB community in Japan.

What does 音頭 (Ondo) mean? Ondo is the first person to sing a solo. In modern times, the term “ondo” has been changed from “ondo” to “ondo wo toru,” which means to take lead of the group.

The first party of ONDO #1 welcomes “Rakugo” storyteller Katsura Edanoshin.

We’re bringing you a collaboration you’d never expect: Rakugo and clubbing. This event will take place in a renovated 60-year-old house, with interior decorations of cherry blossoms that will match the ones blooming outside in this Spring season. You will probably never get to experience partying in an authentic Japanese environment, paired with the best house and techno music, so we hope you enjoy it!

FWB

FWB is a new kind of social network. Home to many subcultures, FWB exists as an ecosystem of symbiotic relationships, a decentralized creative studio, and a never-ending group chat. Most of all, it’s an evolving experiment.

At our core, we are a growing social DAO with more than 4,000 members—including artists, builders, and thinkers from across the crypto and cultural sectors. Collectively, we aim to catalyze the power of web3 as a tool for creating and making things happen.
