If you are fans of Circus-P, Nostraightanswer and EmpathP, you will absolutely love to know that they plan to release a special VOCALOID Album collection together. However, they need your help to make this possible and launched a crowdfunding campaign via Kickstarter to make it a reality!
About the Project
If there is anything that brings us fans together is music, especially when it comes to songs that uses virtual singers as vocalists, so we cannot be more happy to also see oversea producers flourish and bringing us more and more tunes. These three artists are well known among the fans for their quality content and this album collection aims to unite three of their latest albums together.
- “SYNTECH 0” by Nostraightanswer
- “715” by Circus-P
- “Ghost of Artificial Trees (English Language Edition)” by EmpathP
We guarantee you that these albums will win your heart with their songs and having a physical edition for them will make everything even more special!
Stretch Goals
While the minimum goal is $3,000 USD by April 12th for the project to be funded, there are various different stretch goals that will add some extra bonuses to it, such as exclusive merchandise and additional albums from each of the producers. You can find them listed below!
- Primary goal ($3,000 USD): This goal will allow them to manufacture all three albums in the collection. These albums will be packaged in digipak cases with 16-page full colored booklets containing lyrics, illustrations, and more! (Specifics vary from album to album.)
- Interface merchandise upgrade ($5,000 USD): They will create album-themed merchandise featuring art by each album’s cover illustrator. These include, per album: one keychain, one to two buttons, and two to three stickers.
