Preface:

"Tonight, I have two mail planes flying in the sky, and I have to take responsibility for the whole situation in the sky. This star is a signal, it looks for me in this group of people, and it finds me, so I feel a little bit Weird, a little lonely. "This is an excerpt from the novel "Night Flight" by the French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and the project I want to introduce to you today corresponds to the title of the novel. , is YAKANHIKOU, night flight, brought by N3 from Japanese web3 studio together with painter ayaminakazawa.

Art style:

The style of the entire Yakanhikou project is also the classic Japanese big-eyed cute characters, combined with psychedelic electronic style, high-saturation and high-contrast clothing and scenes. The quality is not low, and it does have a strong personal touch of the artist. However, compared to the artist's other non-web3 related works, I personally feel that the image level of the entire project can actually be further improved. Of course, this may also be the artist's attempt to widen the gap in rarity between the projects. Otherwise, based on the pictures currently revealed, the details of the clothing and background may be handled better.

Team Information:

Designer: Ayaminakazawa

A professional illustrator and designer from Tokyo, Japan, he has collaborated with the clothing brand "popkiller" and has drawn visual illustrations for apps and websites such as Tiktok many times. As early as 2017, he held small personal websites in Harajuku Omotesando and Shibuya, as well as personal peripheral pop-up stores. He can be said to be an independent artist who has been active in Japan for a long time and has rich experience. His works are distinctive, using exaggerated neon colors to outline realistic real-life scenery, and then combined with old-fashioned but timeless girl comics-style characters, often giving people a blurred but extremely real visual experience. This night flight is also Ayami's first web3 project. He is also very active and promotes the project from time to time on his personal SNS. He even made some peripherals of the project before the sale and brought them to offline personal exhibitions. He is very attentive.

Operation team: N3 Studio

N3 Studio, which is responsible for the technology and operation of the project, is still from Japan. It is a team responsible for the promotion, planning, and marketing of web3 projects. It is determined to discover potential artists in Japan and create an independent WEB3 IP that can enjoy a global reputation. However, the most famous person in the entire team is actually its investor, because N3's investor is none other than Keisuke Honda, the former international player of the Japanese team that defeated the German team in this World Cup. He was once the No. 1 Asian in the World Cup, joined the legendary AC Milan, and is now the head coach of the Cambodian national team.

‼ ️It is worth noting that before Night Flight, N3 had actually issued two projects, namely, flower lolita with a price of 0.05E and a supply of 6666 pieces, and chibi lolita with a supply of 12222 pieces on freemint. However, the performance of these two projects was not satisfactory. Flower Lolita has even broken the issue price, and the current floor price is only 0.038ETH. However, the good thing is that N3 did not disappear or abandon the project directly because of the poor performance of the project. To this day, the operation of these two projects is also ongoing, and there are plans to launch 3D next year. I think it also reflects the determination of the studio. They are not participating in it for fun, but are truly operating steadily. Even if it is in a bear market now, they will not just be a hands-off boss, which is still reassuring.

2023 N3 Roadmap

personal opinion:

The Night Flight project is actually N3's current main project. Not only has the entire project been planned internally to the artist collection level to distinguish it from the previous two projects, but it has also spared no effort in promoting it offline in Japan, renting advertising trucks for several consecutive days to carry out exhibitions back and forth at Shibuya Crossing, which has the largest traffic in Tokyo. The physical surrounding areas were prepared early and have been promoted and sold online and offline. I think it is really sincere that they can still do this under the sluggish environment. Our team is also looking forward to the subsequent progress of the project.
