i just found out about the glitched gacha that went up on jpdori in april 2017 called midsummer rock fest in which moca was the only card (and was apparently listed as a lim?) and then it got taken down and we never saw that moca art again afaik. what the actual fuck
its so weird because the art looks SO familiar so i thought they ended up recycling it for a different card but... no? no card that looks like it is on bandori party or anything. im chalking it up to moca doing that pose alot but i feel like im being mandela effected here
there is also a chance this could be super fake but i am a clown and naive and think stuff like this is super interesting
im not 100% its real because the face really doesnt look like very-early bandori bandori style and if I'm to trust what ive read this would have been a ~month after the game launched but also this being stupidly early into the games lifespan would make sense as to why its obscure
i am way too invested in forbidden moca
update i went through every guitarist/bassist card and none of them look like it and its either
1. i missed one
2. this is photoshopped out of multiple cards
3. someone out there can mimic bandori's art REALLY well
4. Forbidden Moca Is Real
i have to note that @/lesbiankanon on insta was the first person ive seen bring this up and they made a recreation of the outfit in the art on their page so go check em out
theres now a post on the lost media subreddit about it! its p unorganized so theres a good chanve a cleaner post will go somewhere else later but yeah
this gacha rolled out on march 31st 2017 (apparently during the first black shout event). we've found the first mentions of it on twt from that date from multiple people. apparently it might have just eaten your stars?
confirmation that multiple ppl saw it: the different star counts :)
it has been pointed out that the moca card from the memories of scarlet skies is very similar palette-wise to Forbidden Moca.
1. im so sorry to my non bandori friends and 2. it should be noted that the original Forbidden Moca in the screenshots' colors are messed up for some unknown reason. color corrected version is a lot more similar to the scarlet sky card.

another theory thats now been presented (and is pretty likely as well) is that it's a first pass over of moca's initial 3* (thank you guys for bringing it up!!)
my notifs are blowing up omg. i wonder how many cards we've just.... never seen?? theyve been doing 5 cards every 7 days for 3 years theres... probably a ton tbh
amendment to an earlier post! this didnt appear during the black shout event it appeared during the sakura blooming party :)

im amazed we were able to set the bandori fandom on fire in like 3 hours
also i see ppl concerned abt the fuzziness of the images: we were using instagram as a gc before and as you know they compress stuff so bad on there. i also wanna say i have no idea if this is a hoax or not but i Want To Beleive

a post from 2017 from the hanasakigawa page!
a small update!
nothing too much has come from the last couple hours but we've color corrected moca to have the right colors, and theres a hypothesis that this 'rockfes' might be a very early dreamfes/backstage pass!
also we now have a transparent extract of Forbidden Moca.
THAT IS NOT FUCKING TRANSPARENT i dont think twitter agrees with her.
i know we've all grown attached to Forbidden Moca but also rockfes moca sounds like 5000 times cooler and more cryptic
our magnum opus (for now): rockfes moca

adding onto this we've dug up some very early screenshots of the game revealing some very interesting chibis!! its extremely low quality but could that be... her...
