Crowdfunding is an idea pushed on a crowdfunding website where the everyday person can invest into that idea with rewards or just the satisfaction of helping. It's a growing interest and has helped an incredible amount of startups become big. Take for instance Terraria, or the Oculus Rift, they were both crowdfunding projects. The former AKB48 idol Anna Mori, 20-years-old, decided to raise funds for her photobook using crowdfunding.Mori had a very unique reward that stood out from the other rewards however. She offered three dates to any backer who could pay 200,000 yen (roughly $1,700.61USD). Surprise, surprise, those three dates sold out fairly quickly. But what kind of date options are available for these "high rollers"?Lunch DateHave lunch with the photobook staff whom are all female.Aquarium DateHave a date with Mori at an aquarium (Tokyo).Picnic DateBackers can opt for this luxurious picnic date. It probably doesn't come with caviar or anything fancy like that, but it seems like one of the most expensive dates to go on.Spocha DateThis type of date is basically an all around type where the date takes place at a Sopcha Amusement Center which has Karaoke, Rollerskating, Arcades, Swimming and a bunch of other fun stuff.As for the other rewards, you can get a picture with Mori, launch party invitation, etc... The campaign hasn't ended yet (when this article was written), so if you want to help her campaign, visit the link in the related source below. Now I ask you, would you spend nearly $2,000USD to date someone? Answer below!
