In conjunction with this, the event series, previously operated under multiple brand names, has been unified under "Coelia" and the brand has been renewed.

The planning and operation are handled by Coelia Inc., a startup established in 2025. Key features include real name verification upon participation and the constant presence of operational staff at all events.

Background of Brand Integration: Unifying Tomone, E-motion, and Coart into Coelia
Two to three years after starting work, people's social circles tend to become fixed due to the routine of commuting between work and home. On social media, there are many voices from people in their 20s expressing interest in social circles but not knowing where to go, or feeling nervous about attending for the first time. Coelia itself has repeatedly heard from participants in conversations the desire to make new friends but uncertainty about which community is safe.
Coelia, a startup established in October 2025, has previously operated events under separate brand names for different planning genres: "Tomone" for darts and amusement, "E-motion" for sports, and "Coart" for parties and seasonal events. However, having separate names made it difficult to understand "what kind of event each was."
To make the genres and content of events more easily understandable, and to improve the website and event application experience, the event series has been unified under the name "Coelia," consolidating communications across the official website, social media, and official LINE. Unifying the names also makes it easier to convey that the same, visible operating team plans and manages all events. We believe that knowing "who is running it" is the biggest source of reassurance when stepping into a new environment.

Coelia's Features: Safe Design with Staff Present, Near 1:1 Gender Ratio, 20s-Only
1. Safe Design with Active Operation (Main Feature)
Real name verification is conducted upon participation, and operational staff are present at all events. Participants can consult staff anytime if they encounter issues, and staff will address persistent solicitations, harassment, or disruptive behavior on the spot. To help first-time attendees easily join conversations, Coelia provides icebreakers like topic dice and cooperative board games, and many participants attend alone.
Furthermore, the community guidelines explicitly state that participation and use are refused for individuals involved with:
Anti-social forces
Religious organizations and political groups
Multi-level marketing (chain sales) and network businesses, etc.

2. Near 1:1 Gender Ratio, Welcoming for Both Women and Men
The gender ratio of Coelia Official LINE registrants is 53.6% male and 46.4% female (as of the end of June 2026), ensuring a balanced composition. Concerns about whether it is a safe social circle for women to attend alone are addressed by this gender ratio data, along with the real name verification and on-site staff presence.
3. 20s-Only, Weekly Events in Tokyo, Multiple Genres
Participation is limited to those in their 20s. From classic dart gatherings to sports, parties, seasonal events, collaborative events, engineer/creator meetups, and work sessions like "Yuru Yuru Mokumoku Kai," a wide variety of networking events are held weekly in Tokyo, covering genres from sports to culture. Participants can choose events that match their mood, interests, and hobbies.

Guidelines for Creating a Safe and Enjoyable Space
Coelia values creating a space that is playful and fosters active communication. As a foundation, the community guidelines share the following points with participants:
To ensure all participants can spend their time safely, we ask that everyone respects others and engages in positive communication. Slander, personal attacks, badmouthing or gossiping about participants or the community, negative, aggressive, or intimidating behavior, and discriminatory remarks or attitudes (including online behavior) are discouraged.
We foster an atmosphere where first-time attendees feel welcome by encouraging participants to naturally include newcomers, invite them into conversations, and ensure no one is left out. We believe that small acts of consideration create a sense of security for the entire group, and we cultivate this atmosphere together with our participants so that everyone can feel glad they came, even for the first time.
Differences from Event Listing Platforms (Tsunageto, Peatix, etc.)
There are excellent platforms where people in their 20s can discover diverse events. Coelia itself has utilized these platforms for event announcements. We consider them valuable partners in our shared goal of making events lively. The differences in roles are as follows:
Listing Platforms (Tsunageto, Kokuchizu Pro, Peatix, etc.): "Entry points" to discover events from various organizers. Their role is event listing and promotion support.
Coelia: An "operation-integrated community" where the same operating team consistently handles everything from planning and on-site management to providing support for issues. We take responsibility for creating features such as real name verification upon participation, on-site staff presence at all events, and icebreakers for first-time and solo attendees (topic dice, cooperative board games, etc.).
We believe the roles are distinct: use platforms when you "want to broadly search for events," and use Coelia when you "want to reliably attend a place with visible staff."

Representative's Comment
"Until now, Coelia has delivered events under separate names for different genres: 'Tomone' for darts and amusement, 'E-motion' for sports, and 'Coart' for parties and seasonal events. However, having separate names made it difficult to understand 'what kind of event each was.' To make the genres and content of events more easily understandable, we have unified the names under Coelia, along with improving the website and application experience. We consider our Coelia attendees not as 'customers' but as 'friends who create events together.' We will continue to create a space in Tokyo every week where first-time attendees can take a step forward with confidence."
(Tomu Obata, Representative Director, Coelia Inc.)
Future Developments
We will continue to hold networking events and gatherings weekly in Tokyo for classic genres such as darts, sports, parties, and work sessions. In parallel, we will continue to improve the website and event application experience, which served as the starting point for this brand integration. For "Coelia Gacha," we will sequentially add mechanisms for receiving gacha tickets through event participation and friend referrals. Our official LINE (free registration) will provide early access to event information and allow you to enjoy the new "Coelia Gacha" feature.

Q. I've heard some people say "social circles are a waste of time," is it okay? A. It is true that some people have had negative experiences with unsuitable atmospheres.

Representative Profile: Tomu Obata
Representative Director of Coelia Inc. Joined CyberAgent in 2021 as a new graduate, where he worked as an IT engineer developing the ABEMA Live iOS app and served as a tech lead. Became an independent freelancer at age 25 (participating in projects like NOT A HOTEL and Kauche), and founded Coelia Inc. at age 26.
Coelia not only plans and operates events but also designs and develops its own apps and services, including the reservation system and "Coelia Gacha," as well as the character IP "Koerias" and music for events. This in-house production is achieved with a small startup team by fully utilizing AI, generative AI, and AI agents for operational efficiency and DX promotion. Music is continuously released under the AI artist name "TY from Coelia."
His motto is "It doesn't start if you don't know, and it doesn't start if you don't try to know." He aims to create a society where 20s professionals in Tokyo can have connections that suit their individuality, without being solely dependent on their companies.
Having experienced various careers and work styles himself—as a full-time employee at a mega-venture, a freelancer at large corporations and startups, and an entrepreneur—he welcomes consultations on career and work styles. He believes that having someone to casually consult with outside of one's company is the first step towards "not being solely dependent on one's company."
