Inside Hilumia
Once visiting Hilumia, users are encouraged to explore the many locations within the city, including Slowpoke’s Toy Haven, Ember Square, Golden Skate Park, Garden Express, and Food For Thought, and more, most of which are references to Azuki projects and initiatives.
Since then however, many community members have pointed out that a number of locations within Hilumia could be implications and hints provided for the community about the projects’ future plans and works.
The Slowpoke’s Toy Haven for example, could hint at Azuki’s plans on launching some sort of toy line in the future, as described the toy store to be “slow” in growing.
Another hint that holders have pointed out is the “9 Lives Arcade” location, which is said to be a bridge for “fans of old classics and enthusiasts of modern gaming.” This location has further fueled theories that Azuki may be planning to create a video-game related project in the near future.

AZUKI IMPLICATIONS
At the surface, Hilumia plainly shows a few initiatives that we’ve all speculated are in the works: Fashion (see Ember Square), toys (slow pokes), and games (9 lives arcade). Personally, I read this as all three being lines of business for the team in some pic.twitter.com/yZyXDZnkuv
