The official X (formerly Twitter) account for the Sister Princess franchise announced that the crowdfunding campaign for the 25th anniversary project has successfully reached its goal of 20 million yen (136,200 USD). The campaign is scheduled to run from June 28 to August 30. As of this writing, with 16 days left until the end, it has raised 20,981,830 yen (142,800 USD), 104 percent of the target amount, from 379 supporters.
With this success, it is now official that the following content will be realized:
The production of Chikage’s 3D model
Sister Princess joins HoloModels, an AR & MR application that allows users to enjoy digital figures using VR devices and smartphones
A virtual space recreating “Kita no Hanare,” a memorable place that appeared in the Sister Princess anime
“SisPri Virtual Live,” in which sisters sing and dance
Additionally, a special live-streaming to commemorate reaching the goal will be held on the Sister Princess franchise’s official YouTube channel from 20:00 (JST) / 04:00 (PT) on August 19. The next live-streaming was originally scheduled for August 30, the final day of the campaign. However, the goal was reached earlier than expected, so this streaming was hastily decided.If you would like to send a message to Karen, who will be hosting the streaming, please post it on X with the hashtag #VTuber可憐.
