Introduction
Hello everyone! This is Amama Nia, a VTuber and singer who debuted in February 22, 2020.
I'm here today thanks to all of your support!
This time, to commemorate my birthday on October 5, I have decided to create my first fully animated music video! In order to make a video of the utmost quality, I decided to put together a crowdfunding project so that you and I can work together for the production of this video. I would be so happy if you could read my thoughts about this project here!
Crowdfunding Goals
2021 marked my first anniversary since I began my activities as a VTuber. Thanks everyone's support, we were able to crowdfund the production of my first original album, raising a record-breaking 408% of the original goal!
"Magical Starry Wishes", an album filled to the brim with Amama Nia's charm, was well-received by many and the supporters were all delighted with the crowdfunding rewards as well. I was truly glad to have done it through crowdfunding, and could not be more grateful.
Since then, more and more people have been enjoying my streams as a VTuber, with over 20,000 subscribers to my channel. After the album "Magical Starry Wishes" that we created together, I now have a new dream to expand the scope of my activities:
That dream is to release a fully animated music video.
We have created and release original music videos for all the songs in the album. The videos, filled with cuteness and charm, were created with the help of many wonderful creators and are well received by the viewers! I myself am already happy with the music videos themselves, but as a VTuber, I yearn to see myself truly moving around on the screen -- and I believe that my viewers feel the same way.
That desire has grown stronger in my as each day passes, but yearning alone won't accomplish anything. That is why this time, I've made the decision to produce a fully animated music video!
This is the song that will be receiving an animated music video:
The album's leading track, "Amama Kanaete Kokon-kon", composed by Camellia!
This song was composed with the idea of creating a theme song for Amama Nia; a song that excite people to do calls and shout along to in a live concert. Being the first track on the album, many people have listened to this song and it has become quite popular. It's one of my favorite songs as well.
For my birthday this October 5, I decided to have this fully animated music video produced!
Now, just as I asked for your help to produce my album two years ago, I would like to ask for your help once more to participate in this dream project of creating this music video through crowdfunding, and to enjoy the journey of creating it together with me until its release! Please help me to make this album that we worked on together take a big leap out into wide world!
Why Crowdfunding?
When I first decided to produce a fully animated music video, I originally planned to have it made on a much smaller scale. Honestly, just producing any fully animated work as an indie VTuber is a huge challenge in and of itself.
It is because of the fans who supported my in my last crowdfunding venture that we were able to bring my album to life. Because of my lack of knowledge in handling everything, delay upon delay had piled up, but because so many creators lent us their strength, we were able to safely delivery the finished products to the hands of everyone who supported us.
It is because of the fans who supported my in my last crowdfunding venture that we were able to bring my album to life. Because of my lack of knowledge in handling everything, delay upon delay had piled up, but because so many creators lent us their strength, we were able to safely delivery the finished products to the hands of everyone who supported us.
Had I not turned to crowdfunding, the physical album and the songs themselves would not have come to life. Those and the experiences that came with them have become irreplaceable treasures for me. I want to thank everyone who continues to support me through thick and thin.
In this new undertaking to create a fully animated music video, I chose "Amama Kanaete Kokon-kon", a song that we all created together in the previous crowdfunding, because I felt that this was the best choice to preserve the existence of "Amama Nia" to the fullest. The song was composed by the well-known creator, Camellia, and has become my theme song. It is a precious song, a work that represents me best, and one that I would use to introduce myself with. That is why I want to compromise as little as possible and make the highest quality work that I can for the song.
However, it turned out that bringing the music video to fruition to the level of quality I envisioned would require a budget that exceeded what I had originally planned. This is why I decided to create the music video with the help of my community through crowdfunding. To have every illustration, every movement seem as if a soul truly resided within them -- I wanted to create something on the level unbelievable for an indie VTuber to unveil!
The production of the animation will be done by AtAt!
● AtAt

Youtube: https://t.co/VTOLfhuVSX
AtAt was responsible for the character design, illustrations, as well as production of the music video for my cover of a fan song for the game "Bendy and the Ink Machine". If I was to have a fully animated original music video, I strongly wanted have AtAt be the one to make it, as they are one of my favorite creators. I am truly happy that they agreed to lend their help for this project! With everyone's cooperation, we can create a work whose level can blow right past all of my initial expectations and create something that we might never be able to surpass!
With this music video, we can have more and more people all over the world listen to my songs and expand our circle of fun even more! And of course, while I want to encourage people to participate, I also want them to enjoy the backer rewards so they can feel glad that they joined.
Of course, the popular Plans that quickly sold out make their return here, but we have also upgraded their contents, as well as included new merchandise to go along with the music video. I would be so happy if you could participate and help in any way you can!
Please lend me your help!

In Closing
To all of you who have cheered me on by my side, or secretly from the sidelines, thank you so much for always supporting Amama Nia!
The experiences and lessons I've learned from the last crowdfunding, as well as the feeling of accomplishment of bringing the finished, irreplaceable work to each and every one of you...
These are all things I treasure dearly.
I can take on so many new and different challenges because all you are here for me.
I am truly grateful for each and every one of you.
Perhaps, I could create these things just by myself.
But without the success of the crowdfunding, these memorable songs could not have been given birth to in a more wonderful way, in the best form that I could muster.
Now, I want to leave another mark as Amama Nia, together with everyone.
I hope to share in this happiness together with all of you, as I challenge a new goal.
I have come up with a lot of plans and rewards for everyone to enjoy! They are by no means a step down from the last crowdfunding.
For this crowdfunding, even if we don't meet the goal, I will continue to work on the music video's production. I would greatly appreciate your help, but only as much as you feel able to support us.
Let's create another great masterpiece with Amama Nia!
Leave your mark, your name, in the credits of the music video!
Thank you for reading this to the end!
