  • Welcome to the world of バーチャルボーイ! 

    Each limited edition card is a different piece of art depicting the existence that Virtualboy embodies in his corresponding journeys on the バーチャルボーイ album. Feel the digital breeze of a falling leaf, go deep into the lungs of an asthmatic boy, and dive deep into the intestines of an 8-bit ghost!

    Admire the art, and then interact with it! 

    A forthcoming app will allow listeners to interact with augmented reality artwork for each of the pieces, and future remix and FX packs will enhance old card packs, bringing them new life in hybrid digital/physical format.

about

This is the story of Virtualboy, a cybernetic boy from the near-future who allows the technology inside of him to overtake his normal senses. In doing so, he discovers the ability to enter the existence and reality of the living objects around him.

Each of these realities has been transcribed in audio, from a retired greyhound eyeing a falling autumn leaf to a child having his first asthma attack. Together, yet separate, the realities continue to teach Virtualboy about the depths of his imagination, and urge him to listen to what exists beyond existence.

I am Virtualboy, and you are too.

As you leave your current reality, I hope your time as Virtualboy allows you to inherit some sense of the perspectives of the characters and concepts before you.
