So far, those who have made sponsorship donations include fans from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Poland, Austria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Australia, Uruguay, and Costa Rica.

"This project is not simply just a sponsorship project," the House of Sharing added. "It also serves the purpose of remembering the strife of comfort women and the history of the Japanese occupation."
