Startup Company Eclipsed Sounds Aims to Bring Western VOCALOID Merch to Fans

Startup company Eclipsed Sounds is running a Kickstarter to help bring Western VOCALOID merchandise to fans. While they’re just starting out, they have big plans for the future.

About Eclipsed Sounds

The Eclipsed Sounds startup will be a new pathway for fans to purchase English VOCALOID character merchandise. They plan to develop into a physical store with space for synth music lessons, concerts, and collaborations. Eclipsed Sounds will begin as an online retailer utilizing Kickstarters to build a fan-base, before growing into a larger online retailer to provide design-of-the-month offerings as limited-run products. After moving out of the “pre-order” phase, the company will offer in-person sales at large anime and music conventions, and online sales of fan-art. They are collaborating with artists who do not routinely sell their products online to provide greater access to their work.

The Kickstarter

Eclipsed Sounds is starting with a Kickstarter offering merchandise featuring a single illustration. From here, they will expand depending on the interest in the Kickstarter. The first illustration is of the Zero-G VOCALOID DEX and is done by MystSaphyr.

The Tiers

As mentioned above, all rewards use the featured illustration of DEX by MystSaphyr.
