At exactly 5:00 PM JST today, February 17, 2020, the crowdfunding campaign to fund life-size statues for MEIKO and KAITO has been opened to donations.

And within just a couple hours, the campaign is now over 100% funded!

About an hour into the campaign, as it was nearing 94% completion, the organizers sent out the below tweet on Crypton Future Media’s official Twitter account:

なお、公式ブログやCFサイトに記述した通り、ご支援金額が目標を上回った場合、その費用は今後実施する各々のイベントや展示制作費等、MEIKOとKAITOのこれからの活動に全額充てさせていただきます…！もう到達してしまいそうで喜びと焦りが半分ずつですが、引き続きお願いします！　#MK15th_project

“Good evening! MEIKO & KAITO life-size statue project planners, here! Thank you so much for all your support… I feel like my chest is going to burst from joy. We better increase the max amount of donors for those courses that were utterly destroyed in the blink of an eye. From here, we’ll be confirming the case for each of the courses, so stay tuned for announcements…! #MK15th_project“

“Furthermore, as explained on our official blog and the crowdfunding site, if donations exceed the targeted goal, then we’ll be using the money for future events and exhibition plans, meaning all of it will be going towards MEIKO and KAITO activities…! It’s almost reaching the goal, and I’m equally happy and impatient, but I hope everyone will continue to support us for the long run! #MK15th_project“

The utterly destroyed courses that they are referring to are the two ￥30,000 and ￥50,000 courses, which are currently unable to accept any more donors.

However, as mentioned above, they will be increasing the max amount of donors soon, so more people will have the chance to receive the rewards and meet Meiko Haigo and Naoto Fuuga!

For info on all the donation options, see our previous report below, which will be updated as developments continue!

Remember that while the statues are definitely going to be made now, we can all always do more for MEIKO and KAITO, so be sure to support the crowdfunding effort if you were planning to all along! The campaign will remain open until 12:00 AM (JST) on April 20, 2020.
