Since returning to Tokyo in July last year after 14 years, I’ve been immersing myself in web3. I’ve also been frantically catching up with everything I missed in Japan - the food, my friends, Japan’s mostly failed attempts at digital transformation and the new generation of Gen Z kids.
I set up the Center for Radical Transformation at the Chiba Institute of Technology ; took a new role, Chief Architect, at the company I co-founded, Digital Garage ; and advise various government agencies and industry groups. I also launched a bunch of media projects. I have a podcast , a book on web3 , a TV show on TV Tokyo’s satellite network, and a YouTube channel . I’ve been focused on publishing and interacting in Japanese, but I thought I’d check in with the Anglosphere to give you an update and share
Japan is trying very hard to transform society in many ways, and it’s wonderful being back and contributing to the effort.
