Hello my name is Dizzy and I like Hakos Baelz.
For our idol rat's first sololive, I want to do something special that I've never done before - I want to send a flower stand! But not just any flower stand. I want to send the best flower stand ever as a way for us all to celebrate our idol rat together! But to do that, I need your help.
Because I am a lowly plebeian who still has to work for a living, I don't have the finances to realize my grand designs without some help. So I'm setting up this crowdfunding campaign. This is your chance to contribute to something amazing!
Of course, there is no obligation. Please only contribute if your finances are stable enough to allow you to do so. But if you are able to do so, I would be very grateful for your help!
What the heck is a flower stand?
Great question! If you've never been to a sololive in Japan before, a huge aspect of the live culture is flower stands. Sponsors, colleagues, friends, and other involved people will often send a flower stand to the venue on the day of the live to congratulate the performer on their achievement! Many organizations also allow fans to send in flower stands, and Hololive is one such organization!
So, inspired by all the amazing flower stands I've seen at the numerous lives I've been so fortunate to attend, I want to contribute to that culture and send the best flower stand I can to Kanadevia Hall to celebrate our idol rat and everything she has accomplished!
The bill for the florist alone can often run into the hundreds of thousands of yen - and that doesn't include any of the other costs such as artist commissions, design, printing the standee, and other associated costs. Which is why I need your help!
Here are a few examples of my favorite flower stands that I've seen in person at some of the lives I have attended:
Towa's 2nd Live
Suisei's Supernova Reboot Live
Fubuki's 1st Live
And here is a flower stand sent by our idol rat herself to celebrate Towa's 2nd live!
Artist
I already have an amazing artist lined up to handle the art! If you happen to have seen my car, then you are already familiar with his work! Now that we finally have the key visual, he's hard at work as we speak creating something amazing!

How Do I Donate?
Easy! I have enabled Stripe integration for this fundraiser. Simply click the Donate button below, and you will be brought to the Stripe website to pay. Simply input your card details and you're done - Stripe handles all the payment infrastructure, and I never see your personal details!
Refunds
If the project falls through for any reason, I will of course issue refunds to everyone who contributed! Hopefully it won't be necessary, but there are still a few unknowns:
- The biggest one is the application to send a flower stand - unfortunately there is no guarantee that my application will be accepted.
- I have not lined up a florist yet, and frankly I have no idea how to find one LOL. I've never done a project like this before, so I'm learning a lot here! But I have some Japanese friends who are helping me out here. If I'm unable to find a florist, I will of course not be able to send a flower stand. In that case I will issue refunds.
Rest assured, if the worst does happen and I am unable to send the flower stand, you will receive a full refund!
Credits
If you donate, your name will be included on the standee that is displayed in front of the floral arrangement! If you wish for the name that is displayed on the standee to be different from your name in Offkai.app, please submit a note with your payment letting me know how you wish to be credited!
I reserve the right to refuse your name request if it's offensive, or violates Cover's rules or the rules of the venue. If this happens I will make a good faith effort to contact you to get a new name, but please understand that if I don't hear back from you I may be forced to remove your name from the credits.
Final Note
Thank you for considering donating to the project! I promise to make the best flower stand I can so we can celebrate our idol rat together! If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me on Twitter or Discord!
