Kyomachi Seika's Hometown Tax Crowdfunding Campaign Details
VOICEROID+ and Seika Town mascot character, Kyomachi Seika, has started a new crowdfunding campaign for Seika Town’s hometown tax! Contributors to the campaign will even get a proof of donation slip that they can use to apply for tax breaks! (※Japanese residents only)
The campaign follows in the footsteps on the previous GREENFUNDING campaign to create Seika’s VOICEROID+ product.
Crowdfunding Goals
If the campaign meets its goal of ¥3,000,000 JPY, donations will be used to help develop Seika Town and promote visitation. To this purpose, 5 specific goals were listed:
1) Obtain a licence to design a Hometown Tax portal site, enabling users to easily donate to a hometown tax using credit cards
2) Create official membership cards for people who have supported Seika Town through hometown tax payments
3) Create new Kyomachi Seika merchandise like tapestries, keychains, acrylic phone stands, clear file folders, etc.
4) Create a Kyomachi Seika 3D VTuber model which will be used to promote Seika Town
5) Create a new voice bank for Kyomachi Seika with Rika Tachibana for use in VTuber videos
**UPDATE ON NOVEMBER 1, 2019**
The crowdfunding campaign has just reached 100% completion! The campaign will continue on until December 2 at 11:59 PM (JST), and stretch goals are expected to be announced soon!
**UPDATE ON NOVEMBER 5, 2019**
The first stretch goal has been announced!
If the crowdfunding campaign raises ¥4,000,000 JPY, then they will create bottles of Seika Town’s specialty rakuimo potato shochu with Seika’s image on the labels! After the campaign concludes, these will be awarded to donors who picked any of the shochu set options below.

The stretch goal of ¥4,000,000 JPY has been reached! If another one is announced, we will report here!
**UPDATE ON NOVEMBER 15, 2019**
The second stretch goal has been announced!
Now the target is ¥5,000,000 JPY. If it is reached, then Seika will begin a new campaign to support creators by:
- Commissioning creators from all over Japan to create new Seika goods
- Have those goods become officially recognized by Seika Town and serve as rewards for supporting the hometown tax campaign
- Introduce the creators of the new products on the campaign page and social media
- Compensate the creators with payment for the goods if they so desire
Plans to begin the campaign will start with artist recruitment and PR campaigns at Comiket and elsewhere once the goal is reached.
