I wonder how expensive this gonna be, but might interesting to get?
The only thing I don’t always like is the edit photoshop skills of Lestat C＆M Project. Usually great photos but the faces of most bandman are way to over edited. Hope this project doesn’t look too over edited.
Getting this even if it’s $200 because my witchy SO would love it, as a Mana fan, as a Moi meme Moitie fan and as a fan of tarot (although this is an oracle set technically since it has 22).
Thought so too, but if you check the twitter (photos) you notice it’s a Japanese person.
Or maybe Chinese? well at least asian.
At least you see the same woman on various photos back next to people who got their hair/makeup done.
Gaijin shouldn’t enjoy japanese media. Visual kei for japanese people only! /sarcasm
Anyway, this idea is pretty unique and hasn’t really been done before, has it? I think it’s nice that Mana put mainly newcomers (and a few more well known guys) on these cards, it really shows that he wants to support the newer generation of artists. That’s cool, even if you might not like certain bandmembers, lol.
However I am still disappointed that all big projects Mana was involved in the last years were anything but a new Moi dix Mois album… at least that tarot card deck isn’t as cringe as Yoshiki’s merch, but still, give me the new album.
Don’t know everyone from the list but some of the nominations were pretty on point… Mako, Miku and Hizaki totally fit their roles Though not sure why there are two versions for some of the cards. Really curious to see the actual deck…
