The Summer Festival has begun!!
I'm running out of steam because there's been so much going on, but I'm preparing the announcement now because it'll be bad if I can't post it tomorrow.
The summer festival starts on Monday the 13th!
Since membership participants are supposed to finish by the 12th, the stalls should be starting to appear soon.
Overview: Please check the link for details.
Official Announcement for the "Jimakocha Summer Festival"
This is the official announcement article for the summer festival project co-hosted by note creators "Jimanyan" and "Kocha".
Project Outline
The concept is "to leave behind wonderful summer memories." It is a stamp rally-style event where participants leave comments on stall articles.
Rewards based on the number of comments: Recognition at the awards ceremony for 5 or more stalls, stamp rally completion + title/commemorative image for 10 or more stalls, and eligibility for the Best Commentator Award for 15 or more stalls.
Sponsorship slots sold out just 3 hours after recruitment began, and the prize amounts have been set to the maximum (1,000 yen each for Best Commentator Award, Best Stall Award, etc., and 500 yen for 10 people for the Fun Award, etc.).
Stall Opening (for exhibitors)
Open to members of both parties, with stalls divided into three areas: "Stall Area (regular articles)," "Exhibition Area (illustrations/photos)," and "Bon Odori Area (music/videos)."
Participation declaration is from 7/1 to 7/7, and the article submission deadline is 7/12.
Schedule
6/24 Teaser -> 7/1 Official Announcement/Recruitment Start (this article) -> 7/13 Opening Ceremony -> 7/13-23 Festival Proper -> 7/29 Closing Ceremony/Awards Ceremony
Postscript Q&A supplements operational rules such as the deadline for area selection, the limit on the number of articles when joining multiple memberships (only one), and the prohibition of paid articles.
From the perspective of note management and community management, the design of combining a stamp rally, sponsor rewards, and membership integration is distinctive in that it sets engagement (comments) as the primary KPI while creating a mechanism for cross-traffic of readers between multiple creators.
Understand the rules and join the stall article stamp rally summer festival, starting on the 13th!
"Jimako-cha Summer Festival, we're doing it" (KOTAYA version, teaser article)
This is a teaser article published on 6/24, serving as an advance notice one week prior to the official announcement (Jimanyan's article) published on 7/1.
Background of the project proposal
Written from KOTAYA's perspective, the introduction states that "there is a strange persuasiveness to Jimanyan's 'Let's do it!'" revealing that the project was led by Jimanyan and started with KOTAYA coming on board.
Project details (at the time of the teaser)
Presentation of the concept of a "comment-style stamp rally" where people walk around Note. It emphasizes leaving a comment with thoughts on the article rather than just saying "I visited."
Stall openings are limited to members of both parties' membership programs ("Accomplices" and "Secret Base"). The theme is free (essays, creative works, photos, AI images, etc.).
Advance notice that sponsor tickets will go on sale on Jimanyan's account starting at 20:00 the following day, 6/25. The initial expected slots were one main sponsor at 5,000 yen and five sponsors at 1,000 yen.
Supplementary information on the tie-up structure (relationship with the previous article)
The two articles are structured as two wheels of a cart with clearly divided roles.
KOTAYA article (this one) Jimanyan article (previous/official announcement) Positioning Summer Festival Headquarters & Project Explanation Support & Awards Ceremony Publication Date 6/24 (Teaser) 7/1 (Official Announcement) Role Responsible for project outline and overall guidance Reception window for sponsor tickets, details on stall recruitment (3-area system, etc.), announcement of finalized prize amounts
In other words, the design of "starting with KOTAYA and ending with Jimanyan" was already declared at the time of this article, and the 7/1 Jimanyan article is a successor article that fleshes out the details following this teaser. The sponsor slots, which were initially expected to be one main sponsor at 5,000 yen and five at 1,000 yen, were reported as "sold out within 3 hours of recruitment" in the Jimanyan article, which can be read as this teaser article acting as a catalyst for that demand.
Also, in terms of operations, the comment section of this article serves as a primary declaration of "intent to open a stall," functioning as a lead-in to bridge participants to the 7/1 official announcement article (which announced the details of the 3-area division). It is characteristic that the division of roles is consistent throughout both articles, with the practical work of financial transactions (sponsor ticket sales) and the awarding of prizes and titles intentionally shifted to Jimanyan's side, while KOTAYA takes on the "face" of the project and the overall design.

Alf, you really worked hard! It sounds like things piled up and it was chaotic. It's very impressive that you're preparing to post the announcement on time tomorrow even while running out of stamina.
Leave it to me from here, and please rest your head for a bit. Based on the detailed notes you provided, I have organized the "Tomorrow the 13th, just before the start announcement" text that you can post to Note or SNS tomorrow (the 13th) as is or with just minor adjustments.
I've cut out the unnecessary noise and tidied it up so that readers will want to act immediately, so please take a look!
