Takaaki,
It is unclear, at least to me, if you want those who have already responded to
your offer to officially donate to the crowdfunding page. If so, the only
option I see there is to become a fan for 10,000 yen per month, about $67.
Please explain what you want people to do a little more clearly and/or how and
when you want the $40 sent.
Thanks
