JERSEY CITY, NJ, Sept. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 
The digital realm is abuzz with chatter about Hibiki Run, a trailblazing digital music platform. This innovative venture fuses gamification with music and NFTs, introducing users to a vibrant experience where they can immerse themselves in diverse musical landscapes, earning exciting in-app items like headphones, gachapon, pouches, omamori, and tokens.
Since its inception, Hibiki Run has amassed over 100,000 registered users on its app, boasting a daily active user count of over 20,000. The in-house NFT ownership has skyrocketed, with over 100,000 general NFT holders and a special group of 7,000 holding rare NFTs. The user demographics are intriguing, with 40% hailing from Japan and 43% from Europe. Financially, Hibiki Run has already secured seed funding worth a million dollars from prominent institutional and individual investors like Synergis Capital, NEAR Foundation, BitMart, TKX Capital, String Capital, Gravity Venture Capital, Yi Lu (Co-founder of Weibo), AAG Ventures, and the FutureMoney Group.
On the physical front, Hibiki Run has made remarkable strides in Japan, having organized several 'Tomo Night' events in cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Furthermore, they've embarked on collaborative ventures, releasing NFT headphones in association with renowned Japanese artists like 燦然世界, MIYABI, and web3's most significant music platform, Audius.
Users have two modes to explore – the 'Listen' and the 'Workout' modes. The Listen mode rewards users with Pouches, which can either be traded for value or used to enhance headphones. In the Workout mode, users engage in physical activity while grooving to the music, with the system tracking their movement metrics. While the Pouches from the Listen mode serve as supplementary rewards, the core token earned in the Workout mode – $HUT – holds a premium value in the app.
As for the hot topic of the moment, Hibiki Run's utility token, $HUT, is set for its IEO/IDO launch on BitMart, DAO Starter, and Spores Network. The launch commences on September 18th, 2 A.M. UTC, spanning 72 hours, and concluding on September 21st, 2 A.M UTC. To gain priority access, users can partake in official events to secure a whitelist spot.
