Sony Interactive Entertainment, in collaboration with Milan Records, has published the main theme from Ghost of Yōtei.
Moving EastFor almost 2 decades, the US stock market was the place to be, both for domestic and overseas investors. This is not a new phenomenon, with the investing fortune of the US vs the world often moving around very long duration cycles lasting years or decades.As the USA markets have been rising higher and higher, many have started to wonder when a return to other regions would be best, with many of the pessimists proven wrong so far, or maybe just too early.And it seems that indeed, looking to other markets out of the USA might make sense. Besides the possibility of the cycle turning, rising geopolitical tensions, de-globalization in full swing, and a strong economic shock brought by Trump's tariffs could all contribute to a downturn in the economy and financial markets.At the same time, Asia as a whole is still booming, with SE-Asia quickly industrializing. As the 700 million people region is following the path previously taken by China, this could make the region the world's economic center, after 5 centuries of Western prominence.If that is so, investors might want to be positioned early in local tech companies that have a strong hold on the region's consumer markets, or a unique competitive advantage in their niche.1.

For instance, FaceChain, a third-party application based on multiple AI models on ModelScope, can generate a portrait from just one or two uploaded photos
