How to Support the Show

It's been over 20 years since Popee the Performer finished airing—so how do you support the creators?
Well, it's a little harder now—but there are a couple of different ways.
== How to Support the Show ==
Because you can't rent the series through any service these days, there's no way to support the show through streaming services. It's up on YouTube and NicoNicoDouga for free, and has been for many years.
Buying secondhand merchandise is also not a way to give monetary support to the creators, as when you purchase secondhand items, the money just goes back to the single person who is selling their secondhand goods. They don't get royalties from secondhand sales, and most merchandise is nowadays sold secondhand.
However, as of 10/1/24, there are four pieces of licensed merchandise available for purchase. This is currently the only way to support the series directly. They are acrylic stands manufactured by Bestfield. More information on how to find them and purchase them is available here, and you can find the list of the acrylic stands available below:
* Popee acrylic stand
* Kedamono acrylic stand
* Papi, Popee, and Kedamono acrylic stand
* Popee & Kedamono acrylic stand

There are a few ways to directly support Wakako Masuda.
=== Pixiv Fanbox ===
There are two tier options to subscribe to Wakako Masuda's Pixiv Fanbox:https://wacosan0.fanbox.cc/
* The Masuda Village Sightseeing Plan, which is 500 JPY ($3.49 USD) a month
* The Masuda Village Stay Plan, which is 1,000 JPY ($6.97 USD) a month
Both tiers offer the same content, which is access to Chinchikurin, a parody comic with characters based on previous works by Wakako Masuda and her ex-husband Ryuji Masuda. Subscribing to her Fanbox is the only way to access Chinchikurin.
At the end of the description of the "Masuda Village Stay Plan", it says "If you would like to support us further, please do not hesitate to contact us!" so if you would like to offer more support, please contact Wakako Masuda. She can be reached through her X account or her instagram account—direct messaging is enabled for her on both platforms. Alternatively, you can 
=== Suzuri shop ===
Suzuri is a company that manufactures user-designed products like bags, keychains, sweatshirts/shirts, etc. Suzuri does international orders through WorldShopping, so don't worry if you're not in Japan. Alternatively, you can use another proxy service like one of the ones listed in the merchandise guide.
You can find Wakako Masuda's suzuri shop here, but as of 10/1/2024, her store is currently empty.
== How to Support Ryuji Masuda ==
As of this article's creation, there is no way to directly monetarily support Ryuji Masuda. This page will be updated if that changes.
