and i must say that I have a different opinion than the most of you concerning alice nine's new look. i also liked them with their vk-look in former days but i think the way they look now - with less make up on their faces - brings more personality to them. don't get me wrong, they still had their own personality in their vk-days but when I look at Shous and his eyes (which are actually one of the most special things about him) now I have a feeling that he is more himself now and that he feels better in his skin than otherdays...
the nuder look brings out much more facets of their characters than when they all were extreme rouged...when you look at them you can see their real selves and don't have to look behind all the make up^^
and then again I noticed that lately they are laughing and spinning around even more than before (even if that's hard to manage xD) so I think they have fun on what they do and are happy this way. you can't really say that alice nine are doing all these changes on themselves just to become more popular because indeed it's their own way and their own style and they seem to feel alright doing it...and as long it's alright for them and they feel comfortable with it, it's also alright for me
