HEXA, one of Japan's largest NFT marketplaces, working with the Public-Private Partnership Promotion Organization (a general incorporated association that partners with 420 municipalities nationwide); GMTS Co., Ltd.; Uda City, Nara Prefecture; Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture; Nachikatsuura Town, Wakayama Prefecture; and others, began selling Rain Tree's New Product Development Project Pass as an NFT on November 21, 2025 (Fri).
Fan participation becomes "decision-making for the regional project itself"
By holding the New Product Project Pass NFT, you can take part in a new product development project to energize the regions together with Rain Tree. Project Pass holders receive
• Invitation tickets to events Rain Tree holds in each municipality
• Access to unreleased footage showing behind the scenes of new product development
• Participation in votes on multiple label design proposals
• Applications for early sales and reservations for limited-sale products
and more, becoming special members who share the "front line of product making" with Rain Tree. And holding multiple NFTs increases your voting power! Your one vote might change the future of Rain Tree and the regions. Having grown together with its fans, Rain Tree now moves on to a stage of "creating new value together with the regions." Why not support their challenge as one of those members?

About Rain Tree
The group was formed from 17 FINALIST members who reached the final round of the audition for "IDOL3.0 PROJECT," an idol project held for about six months from April 2023 to form a new group produced by Yasushi Akimoto, but who were not selected. It was officially formed as Rain Tree on October 8, 2024, and made its major-label debut on King Records on January 29, 2025.
This project is a "Cabinet Office Regional Revitalization 2.0 Model Project"
HEXA supports collaboration projects between Uda City, Otsuki City and Nachikatsuura Town and 4 idol and actor acts, including Rain Tree.
As a project selected for the Cabinet Office's "New Regional Economy and Living Environment Creation Grant, Type V," this initiative
is a pioneering effort nationwide in which municipalities create related population (people who maintain an ongoing connection to a region without living there) through NFT × DAO.
HEXA provides Web3 support in the Regional Revitalization 2.0 field, including the launch of cross-regional DAOs.
