Shining Tears Contest for a Tony illustration!

Shining Tears Contest for a Tony illustration!

Hand-drawn, autographed Mao picture

As if there aren’t already enough ridiculously hard-to-get collectables for Shining Tears, Sega Japan today updated their website to include an interview with Shining Tears designer Tony Taka, in their Sega Voice column.

If someone here is able to provide a translation it would be most helpful – though I’ll try to Babelfish it later. There is a contest on the page, to win a lovely hand-drawn & autographed illustration of Mao, in the same kind of style as the female drawings available in the Akihabara in-store prize draws.

Apparently one need only send a name & contact details to the email address shown on the page, along with some feedback about the article. I’d really love to win this one, as I adore Mao!

Whether they’ll take entries from outside of Japan or not is unspecified, but it can’t hurt to try. Perhaps with a large amount of international entries, Sega will realise that we want goodies too 😉

No word back from any of the companies I’ve contacted regarding the phonecards etc, BTW. However, my contact at Lik-Sang has informed me it’s very likely they will be stocking the figure capsules which include Elwing models… so at least there’s something we’ll all be able to get 😀 I’m also told there may be some additional prize positions (beyond 1-5) available for the Christmas contest, with prizes supplied courtesy of Lik-Sang – how handy!
