Done! I finished the print for @rtfktcreators challenge before flying back to Tokyo. Deffo cant bring this on the plane haha @RTFKT

@NHKWORLD_News it's clearly not thought through. If they interviewed anyone who is on the process or working on that visa. it would show clear signs. The response to prevent abuse is a childish one. versus a calculated one. it has harmed the image and future of the economy of Japan

Japan’s crackdown on its business manager visa requirements was aimed at restoring trust in the system, but experts say it risks discouraging foreign entrepreneurs. NHK World spoke to those involved in the issue to examine the unfolding dilemma. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ne…

@CardilloSamuel @RTFKT @Zaptio rtfkt is like that ex you think about n see every now n then. only to remember the good times n feel a little sad but also happy that I happened

Today is the unofficial birthday of @RTFKT (and the official birthday of @Zaptio , by the way!). What I am seeing in my X timeline is absolutely beautiful and I want to thank the community, each and everyone of you, who have been present, not only today but since the beginning of it, incuding since Nike shutdown. I know many have questions about the future and the silence is hard to take, but don't forget, both CloneX and Animus are currently traveling to a new (and, from what I heard, beautiful) destination. Space journey is long and space doesn't have sound. But soon enough. Soon enough. None of you have been forgotten nor will ever be forgotten. The future is together and it awaits us. Thanks for the continuous support and love you have. We'll land soon. 👁‍🗨 youtube.com/watch?v=dfvPZ9…

@0xShin0310 possible to withdraw cash? comes with an app to manage the card?

Not crypto. Money. Slash Cardは、 ステーブルコインを“使えるお金”にする決済インフラ。 まずはUSDCを、 私たちの日常のお金に。

@Zi99yS if there was a large enough audience in Tokyo. I can sort it out, with some budget. I got nada

@Marilthecat totally agree - looking forward to a future clone event

@clegfx maybe it's a trap. but if I had to, teeth n mouth moves

I generated a video of myself using AI. It’s getting too real guys. Can you spot any ai imperfections? I don’t see any.

@RTFKTNews thx for sharing. he seems loaded

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐑𝐓𝐅𝐊𝐓? The riddle still remains, however...we may have a clue. On the Oregon Secretary of State website, we see an Amendment to Annual Report/Info Statement that was updated January, 14th 2026 (post RTFKT sale). Within the statement labeled, Information Change, there is an electronic signature which was signed by Billy Levy whom is listed as an Authorized Person. What role does Billy play within the RTFKT organization? Too early to tell, but he does have signature authorization, which leads me to believe he has a significant role. This does not necessarily mean that Billy Levy purchased RTFKT. At this point this only means that Billy is the point of contact representing a business entity. Does he own the controlling stake in the entity? We do not know. Interesting that the document says "Foreign Business Corporation" under the TYPE section. 𝐀𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲'𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞: - Co-founded Virgin Gaming with Richard Branson, building an early e-sports platform for cash-prize console tournaments that hit over a million users. - Co-Founded Mettrum Health Corp., a licensed Canadian cannabis producer acquired by Canopy Growth for around 430 million Canadian dollars in 2016. -Co-founded Virgin Mega, a mobile commerce platform that Nike later acquired (interesting...) -Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Rivalry Gaming from 2022-2023 -Co-founded SLANG worldwide, a cannabis CPG company; took it public on the Canadian Securities Exchange in 2019. -Named one of the High Times 100 Most Influencial People in Cannabis in 2019 alongside his SLANG co-founder. 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐤'𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: Serial founder with multiple successful exits, strong track record spotting trends in gaming and cannabis, and partnerships with big names like Branson. He's proven he can build, scale, and cash out. 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦-𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞: We still do not know exactly who bought RTFKT. We only know that January 13th, 2026 a non-Nike employee named Billy Levy, whom has signature authorization for whichever company did purchase RTFKT, signed an Information Change document filed with the Oregon Secretary of State. Based on Billy's successful career as a leader of successful start ups, it seems logical to deduce that he is a major player in the organization that purchased RTFKT. Though, we cannot say that with certainty. Is this good for RTFKT? Too early to tell. I can only give my opinion here, which I am free to change at any point, I think it's good. He is a successful entrepreneur with a proven track record, an avid gamer, and understands trends early. He has connections across the cryptospace (looks to be some ties to Berachain), and connections with major players. At the end of the day the roadmap, execution, and innovation are what matter. Where do the new leaders want to take RTFKT? How do they plan to get there? Are they going to foster a healthy relationship between the collectors and creators? Do they truly understand digital property rights and why gamers must have these rights? Do they understand that in NFTs, the floor is the score...if you're announcements aren't moving the floor upwards, it's not because the community doesn't get the vision...it's because the announcement was wack and the vision was blurry. Do they understand how to set a meta and lead? Once of the most important questions I have is do the new leaders understand how important Chris Le, Takashi Murakami, Zap, Sam C, Dreams, and Jampants are to the continuation of design language and feel of RTFKT? It was the creative collaboration of these geniuses that lead to the success of RTFKT. Will they incorporate this squad into the way forward, or are they going to hire a coverband to attempt to capture the magic? We shall see. Maybe you don't think the floor is the score, bring on the blurry vision you say. You don't think that an avid gamer with a successful business career can lead RTFKT to new heights, you love coverbands, and think gamers should not be able to own the items they earn in game...in that case... Go News Yourself! (Disclaimer: Remember, I didn't say Billy bought RTFKT, only that he signed an Information Change document related to RTFKT, post Nike sale.)

@mirotta21 Its very silly and Im worried that this plan is operated by some organisation or country who does not want to see Japan succeed... Either way, there will still continue to be some culture, but now it will have to go underground or it will drive away to other cities.

@Marilthecat 彼らにその招待に応じるような気持ちが少しでもあればそもそもこんな差別的な政策は成立しなかったでしょうね。本当に愚かな政策です。日本をこれ以上つまらない国にして何がしたいのか。

世界中のいろんな食べ物を食べれて、国民皆保険がある。日本の良いところ潰してまわって何がしたいのこの政権。

San Mai San, a Hong Kong-style congee restaurant in Tokyo with many positive reviews, will be shutting down in May because the Takaichi Administration raised the capital requirements for a Business Manager Visa from 5 million yen ($31K) to 30 million yen ($190K). The owner, a 47 year-old man from Hong Kong, told the Asahi Shimbun, “I didn’t want to give up on the restaurant so easily, but I had no choice.” Even though his restaurant was popular, the new capital requirement was too much. The change of visa requirements was justified as a measure to prevent foreign people from setting up fake "paper" companies, but it's also having an impact on legitimate small businesses that were set up by legal immigrants who pay taxes and contribute to the local community.
