REALITY Newsletter - February 2024
Hello everyone! I’m SHARI, from the Community Team!🍚
Lately, another release with Sanrio was released in REALITY! Let’s talk a little bit about Sanrio, shall we?👀
Did you know that the name “San Rio” was actually inspired by Spanish, with the words San (saint) and Rio (river)?
According to the founder, Mr. Shintaro Tsuji, he established the company with the desire to build a culture of purity along the riverbank where it is said that humanity first began to settle. He wished to create a community (group) where people gathering there would have compassion for each other and could live together harmoniously. This heartfelt aspiration has been driving the company's operations until today. It's quite inspiring, isn't it?🫶
Now, just like the rivers flowing around the world, we want to deliver a community where everyone can live harmoniously in every corner of the globe! With that sentiment, let's bring you the updates on REALITY for this month. Without further ado, let's dive into the REALITY Newsletter - February Edition!

Update Information
■Regarding the changes in gift prices
Recently, with the discontinuation of the point system and the transition of point gifts to coin gifts, we have made updates to the gift system. However, during these changes, we have observed a decrease in the viewing and commenting experience on the stream screen in cases where some gifts were sent repeatedly.
Recognizing that this issue significantly impacted participants, especially towards the end of events, we promptly decided to adjust the gift prices. We would like to inform you of this sudden change in gift prices.

Message from the Staff

Hello!
I'm Hayata, the Product Manager.
It's been about a year and a half since I last wrote a "Message from the Developer." Additionally, with REALITY celebrating its 5.5th anniversary on February 7, 2024, I can't help but feel the swiftness of time. The development team will continue working hard to ensure that REALITY grows even faster and remains enjoyable for everyone!
By the way, I've recently developed a passion for domestic travel. I explore regions I haven't visited before, enjoying strolls through towns and delicious meals. Just the other day, I went to Fukushima!
Each time, I find myself wondering, "I wonder if there are people here using REALITY. How are they playing?". It's such a happy thought. Thank you all for always being with us!
Looking forward, please continue to support REALITY!
Hello! I'm Ikura, the Community Manager.
Out of the blue, but do you all have a season you dislike? For me, I definitely struggle with winter. It's a level of discomfort that persists throughout the season. Heavy and bulky winter clothes, skin-piercing low temperatures, the need for heavy gear just to go out locally, outdoor activities becoming non-existent, and especially, enjoying a drink outdoors while feeling the air – impossible.
Anyone... please tell me the good things about winter... I'm afraid I might spend every December to March feeling down for the rest of my life...
(If I could transfer my existence to the world of REALITY, I'd want to repeat spring, summer, and autumn forever.)
... Now, changing the subject, do you all know about the monthly live stream we conduct? It takes place every second Friday at 7 PM JST (For the Japanese Stream) and every second Friday at 12 PM JST (For the International stream). A major overhaul is being considered for the Japanese stream, so let's check out how things go! I've heard new members joined the International stream lately too.
REALITY Newsletter, REALITY User News, REALITY Outfit, Event Club, Official Broadcast… all of those were created to shine a spotlight on not only the numbers but also the wonderfully diverse and fantastic activities happening in REALITY. I started this initiative because I believe that individuals with unique and wonderful activities in REALITY deserve recognition, and I simply want to see and collect more of your activities.
The reason we are working on the revamp of the japanese live stream is that, to spotlight these activities, the content from the official channel needs to be a focal point, and it should be more enjoyable for everyone (with a strong variety element). We are also thinking of new ways to shine the spotlight, and the plan is to unveil the revamped live stream from April. The timing will be 9 PM instead of 7 PM, and we'll be putting in extra effort to broadcast from the office. I'd be delighted if everyone could come and join us!
If you have any feedback about the International stream too, feel free to send us!
Well then, hoping for spring to come soon... see you later!
