Some listeners may feel that Rin’s parts sound kind of muted among all the human singers, which Crypton’s Wataru Sasaki remarked on:
(For this particular Sweet Magic, I’d like for people to think of the VOCALOID parts as one small part of a larger chorus of singers… that and if you take the song as a whole, there are many parts that sound like duets)
Among those who enter the campaign, ten will be selected to win an Amazon gift card worth ๏ฟฅ3,000 JPY! Winners will be contacted by direct message, so make sure that your account can receive them!
Best of luck to anyone entering, and look forward to more Project SEKAI reveals!

MAGNET by Shibuya109 location:
The main visual by artist LAM is themed around โShibuya x fashion,” and the Cryptonloids will all be wearing stylish new outfits on various pieces of merchandise. More information about the merchandise should be released in the coming weeks. Coincidentally, if youโve heard the newest song from HachiojiP (ๅ ซ็ๅญP) and Giga, “GIMMExGIMME,” you might notice some similarities in the art style โ the visuals for the song were also done by LAM!
(Tanudama herself admits to listening to said song repeatedly while writing this article, after finding out that the artist is the same…)
If youโd like to check out more of LAM’s amazing artwork, feel free to check out their Pixiv, and you can keep up to date on their future projects on their Twitter!
Entry to this event is free, so make sure to head on down to Shibuya109 and check it out if you get the chance! And keep an eye out for our update when we find out more about the merchandise for the collaboration. I know I definitely want some Rin merch myself…
Anyway, that’s all from me for now, and I hope to see you again soon!
