✶ About ✶
Mic check- mic check- one, two, three!Welcome to Rhapsody! ♫ We are a dual-themed merch box that wishes to represent everyone's favorite Vocaloid characters in the bold and classy styles of our themes — Bit Crush and Heart Strings. The project will feature two bundles of original merch, as well as a mini lookbook zine, and an original Rhapsody soundtrack CD featuring Vocaloid producers in our community!
"waiting for my player 2!"Bit Crush uses synthetic sounds and bright colors to show off young love and the rush of having a crush! Imagine kawaii streetwear, rainbow skies, and the neon lights of an arcade.
"plucked my heart away..."Heart Strings uses acoutsic sounds and muted colors to show the symphony of feelings we feel after a heartbreak. Imagine formalwear, rainy days, and the darkness of an auditorium.

Since then, Vocaloid has joined me in each phase of life, from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs! Outside of my interest in Vocaloid, I have experience in creating merch and running tables within my local community.
