A-Nexus and DiscoverFeed Form Strategic Partnership to Promote 'DAG Project'

A-Nexus Incorporated (Headquarters: USA, Representative: Nariaki Terada, hereinafter 'A-Nexus') has entered into a strategic partnership with DiscoverFeed Inc. (hereinafter 'DiscoverFeed').

Through this partnership, the two companies will jointly promote the 'DAG Project,' a next-generation entertainment economy that fuses AI, music, fandom, and data utilization.

By combining A-Nexus's artist network, entertainment IP, and global network with DiscoverFeed's DJ network, AI technology, data management technology, and decentralized data infrastructure, the companies aim to build a new entertainment model where artists, fans, and creators jointly create value.

Background of the Partnership In recent years, the consumption of music, video, and SNS content has changed significantly, and fans have evolved from passive viewers to active participants in the creation and dissemination of content. Meanwhile, much of the photo, video, and live content produced by artists and idols disappears from the market upon their graduation or retirement, presenting a challenge where its value is not fully utilized. A-Nexus has been working on maximizing the value of entertainment IP through artist production, music creation, and live event planning both domestically and internationally. This partnership aims to establish a system where artists can continuously create value through the reuse of past content, the establishment of new music production models, and the construction of a fandom economy.

Three Key Initiatives (1) Joint Promotion of AI Collaborative Music Platform 'DAIM' As a first step, the companies will launch a global music project using the AI collaborative music platform 'DAIM.' Leveraging DiscoverFeed's global DJ and producer network, they will build a new music production model that connects idol IP, artists, creators, and fans. The first project will be global song production by 'Quadlips × Thomas Gold × DAIM.' Future plans include expanding to domestic and international artists, AI-based multilingualization, and the development of collaborative content.

(2) Promotion of Artist Archive Business Utilizing the fandom platform 'MY Album' provided by DiscoverFeed, the companies will promote the reuse of photos, videos, live footage, and SNS content created by artists and idols in the past. By archiving, limiting public access, creating collections, offering subscriptions, and enabling fan-participatory editing, they will create new revenue opportunities and support second careers for former idols and artists.

(3) Joint Development of Global Fandom Market By combining A-Nexus's entertainment network, centered in Asia, with DiscoverFeed's data platform, the companies will expand their fandom business not only in Japan but also in the global market, including Southeast Asia. They aim to build an ecosystem where artists and fans jointly create value and share the results.

Future Roadmap (Planned) June 2026: Launch of DAG Project / Beta release of 'MY Album' July 2026: Start of joint project with world-class DJs / Deployment of AI collaborative content August 2026: Release of 'Quadlips × Thomas Gold' song / Start of fan-participatory music production project
