FUKUOKA, Japan — Fukuoka tech firm Fidem has officially rolled out an open beta version of HandSome, a new Japanese Adult Video (JAV) content distribution platform built on blockchain technology.
The platform was created by Fidem founder and former JAV performer-turned-coder Ami Kasai, along with Japanese performers Genji Moribayashi, Riku Mukai, and Ai Uehara. According to a rep, HandSome offers Japanese creators full control of the rights to their content, with blockchain technology providing transparent and immutable ownership records and piracy protection.
The company also offers 70-80% of sales revenue to its creators.
“HandSome is an infrastructure created by and for adult creators,” said Kasai, who also serves as CEO of Fidem. “Through a system that streamlines consent, contract management, sales transactions, and profit sharing, we ensure that creators receive fair compensation.”
Kasai added that the platform also offers a “right-to-be-forgotten” process for simplified content removal upon request.
“Moreover, by opening channels for safe and secure distribution overseas, we are creating a platform that enables Japanese creators to effectively market themselves and manage their brand globally,” Kasai continued.
HandSome's open beta version is currently limited to Japanese IP addresses; the rep noted that global access would be rolled out in later phases.
