Launch of Social Design 47: A Japanese Initiative for Solving Social Issues Through Tech, Finance, and Entertainment

Social Design 47: Innovating Community Solutions

In a groundbreaking venture, the Japan ANICANA Dealers Association (located in Tokyo) has launched Social Design 47 (SD47), an initiative aimed at solving social issues across all 47 prefectures in Japan. Collaborating with various technology providers, advertising agencies, newspapers, law firms, public institutions, and other experts, SD47 is committed to enhancing regional development and revitalization.

Harnessing Technology for Social Betterment

SD47 uniquely combines fintech and entertainment to tackle local challenges in communities from Hokkaido to Okinawa. The project aims to create a sustainable framework for community support while fostering engagement through innovative technology.

One of the central components of SD47 is the introduction of an online lottery and lucky bag sales platform known as PRIZE3.0. This platform enables the purchase of various exciting products, and a portion of the proceeds will be allocated to support regional initiatives. PRIZE3.0 Games merges gaming elements with the latest tech, making it convenient for users to engage in online lottery and lucky bag purchases.

This distinctive product will feature various items associated with Tokyo, including hotel accommodation vouchers, dining tickets, experience vouchers, local delicacies, and traditional crafts, all being sold via random distribution.

Future Aspirations for SD47

Kyoko Tanaka, director of the Japan ANICANA Dealers Association, shared her enthusiasm for the initiative. “SD47 represents a new form of regional support project that solves social problems through entertainment. The Tokyo Smart Lucky Bag not only allows participants to rediscover the charm of Tokyo but also ensures that a part of the proceeds will be redistributed to the community, creating a sustainable support system.”

The goal is to expand this model from Tokyo to all 47 prefectures and ultimately stimulate the entire Japanese economy. Furthermore, there are plans to create smart lucky bags aimed at international tourists, ensuring that they experience the beauty of Japan while exploring these innovative opportunities for social contribution, all while blending technology, finance, and entertainment.
