Hello everyone, I’m Víctor Alonso, and today I’m so excited to share some news about my latest photography project.
A few months ago, I published The Last Game Centers, a book that explored more than 20 Japanese arcades. The book features over 200 photographs, showing details of the cabinets, games and the interiors of this game centers. With almost 300 pages printed on high-quality paper, this photobook has an amazing design and attention to every little detail, making it a “must-have” for all collectors.
It also includes an introduction and some anecdotes about each arcade and directions. The response of this project was really incredible and showed me how deeply people still care about preserving this legacy.
Success of the First Edition:The first edition of the book was a huge success! It was amazing to see so many people all over the world connected with the images, the stories, and the nostalgia of these iconic places. But I always felt that this project had the potential to go even further.
Launch of the International Edition:That’s why today, I’m so excited to announce our next step: the launch of an international edition of this book through Kickstarter. This new edition is called The Last Game Centers - Black Label, and it’s the final version of the project.
What’s New in the “Black Label” Edition:Well this isn’t just an international version-it’s a carefully crafted new edition designed to be remarkable. Let me share some of the updates:
New Cover: We’ve created a brand-new cover for this edition that captures the atmosphere of the game centers even more vividly.
Texts in English and Japanese: To reach a global audience, all the text and information has been translated into English and Japanese.
Updated Content: Sadly, two game centers from the first edition have already closed, so we’ve added two new ones.
Improved Photography: We’ve also adjusted the treatment of the photos to make them slightly more contrasty.
Exclusive Zine: As a special addition, Black label includes a small zine with photos from a night-time drive-in adventure around Tokyo. There I discovered some true hidden gems and small game corners.
About the Kickstarter Campaign: All this and more will be available through our crowdfunding campaign, which launches today on Kickstarter. This project wouldn’t be possible without your support, and through this campaign, we hope to fund the production of this edition and also to build a community of fans who love game centers and retro gaming culture.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey and help me make The Last Game Centers - Black Label the ultimate tribute to these special places. Thank you all for being part of this dream. See you on Kickstarter!
