Mana

The magazine name was Gothic Beauty, Issue #26. My friend read it and got really pi**ed off about it, because it's like they made the rules and didn't read the history. There's this one chick in the magazine who tries to dress like Mana-sama. >< Will people never learn? Plus, EGL and EGA are both terms coined my Mana-sama, and he's the only one who has them. If they are going to use them, they should at least have his permission first. If you want to email Midi:Nette, go for it. I think he'd be happy to hear that people are picking up on things like that. Some people have absolutely no respect. Even I may email him and tell him about it. I think he deserves to know, ne!

I haven't read the translation of the Aesthetics, but I will very shortly and get back to you on that!

^____^v
 
I felt he was talking about MdM music. I wish to hear it now, since he said he made two songs that were complete opposites. I really wish I could hear it now. I hope someone will put it up to listen to when it comes out.

He has an almost childlike quality to his personality in this entry, I think. It's just the way he said some things. ^___^ But he's beautiful no matter.
 
I like the childish quality. I think he's really excited about it. So am I. I really can't wait! Two songs that are opposite. I wonder what that will be like?

Oh, and sorry for not saying something earlier, the computer I bought crashed Friday night so I had to get my money back and lease to own this new one. I was so mad when that other one broke. I bought it Thursday and then it brakes Friday. It was, like, downloading porn out of nowhere. So gross. Anyways, that has nothing to do with Mana.

Gothic Beauty issue #26. That magazine sucks! I'm really going to write to Midi nette and tell on it. Term thiefs!
 
I like the childish quality too. Besides, he said he's still a kid inside, didn't he?

I wonder what the songs will be like too. It's interesting, in a way, to think about, because his music is becoming so unpredictable. He's really, really excited for everyone to hear them. That shows he's very happy with how it's turning out.

That sucks that you keep having to buy a new computer because the ones you buy always break. I hope this one doesn't break.

Yes, and I'm very, very angry still with that magazine. Truely, because they don't have the right to take those terms.
:) I'm glad you've decided to write Midi:Nette.
 
I wrote what I wanted to say to Midi Nette. Now all I have to do is type it up and send it. I didn't want to sound stupid or like some kind of childish tattle-tale. I hope I spelled that right.

November isn't that far away. I can't wait until then. New MdM! I'm making sure I can buy it!
 
I think that's best. Just to sound professional about it.
What did you say about it?

Yeah, I have no money and get no money. Also, I have no job, so I can't buy it. I'm hoping someone will put it up when it comes out. But I plan to buy a TON of CD's as soon as I go to Japan.
 
oh so much happened while I was away...well at first thanks JRockAddict for that pic of Mana-sama's b-day :-) now I know I have that pic but it somehow got lost among all of Mana's pics in my pc :D...

second thing...a new realease? yippy-yaaaay 😎 I hope it is not Kanon's new stuff...Kanon is nice and pretty and sings nice and bla bla bla but I don't like her (= I am not interested in her)...she is probably the only thing about Mana that I'm not interested in...nooo I want new MdM !!! please Mana-sama let it be new MdM...

third thing...talking about EGL and EGA and NOT MENTIONING MANA? now are they normal? jesus that's a shame! and THEY wanna tell something about the rules of EGA/EGL? :eek: ridiculous!!!! EGA/EGL IS MANA!!! and MANA IS EGA/EGL!!! you did well Sweetie...I hope they will understand that you only want to do good...👍

and the fourth thing....oh money...well I'm broke now :(...almost all the money I earned this summer is gone:(...and I couldn't manage to buy any Japanese CD as I planned:(...and I won't be able to do so even later....why is money always such a problem?:(
 
I hate money!

I wish I had the money to buy MdM CD's... T___T But alas, I don't.
 
I know how you two feel completely. I just now got a job one month ago, so I have money now but I didn't before. It sucks. I worked open to close yesterday so I didn't have time to do anything.
@JRockAddict
I'm going to buy the new M10M release as soon as it comes out. If you want I will upload it for you as soon as I get it. If it's cheap enough I can try to save up enough to buy two and then send you one. :-) How much do their cds usually cost? I always buy mine on e-bay after they have been out for a few months so I don't know how much new releases cost. I tend to have quite a bit of extra money so it's very possible that I can do that for you. If you don't mind that is. Or I can just upload it for you when I get mine. It's up to you. 👍
In regards to the e-mail I sent to Midi:Nette, I wanted to send a scan of the article in the magazine in with the e-mail but I couldn't find it. I'm not even sure if it's possible to send scans with your e-mails anyways, so I guess it doesn't matter. I guess it would have been smart of me to find out. But anyways, what I said was:
I noticed that the magazine Gothic Beauty had an article in issue #6 that was recently released that mentioned Elegent Gothic Aristocrat and Elegant Gothic Lolita, the rules and everything, without giving credit to Mana. It seems as though they are trying to appear as though they were the ones who created the styles. It bothered me to read this article knowing that these two fashion styles and the terms used for them were created by Mana and this magazine did not mention him or even give a brief history of where the styles came from. I am not sure if this has already been brought to your attention yet or not, but as a concerned fan I felt as though I should say something.
So anyways, that's what I said. I hope they read it. And I hope it sounds good. I feel bad for lying though, since I wasn't actually the one who read the magazine, but I didn't think they would have took me as seriously if I wasn't the one actually saw it. Anyways, you girls tell me what you think.
 
Oh, money issues are always problem:( but i've started saving money, cuz i dont have a job yet, and once i get my scholarship i think im gonna invest it on all kinds of jrock stuff!!:D
im so excited about the new record👍 november isnt that far!
and about the e-mail, im trying to write something, i hope it doesnt sound stupid since i havent actually read the article!!:p
Sweetie, your mail sounds good!! I've found their website and it has a little scan of the #26 issue, i tought about sending it with e-mail too, but im not sure, if it is possible.... but i'll see what i can do!!
and here is the scan
 
That was the only scan I found of it too. Thank you anyways though, Moon Princess. I suppose it would have helped but then again it's the article itself that would have been better. Anyways, I had already sent my e-mail off the other day so it doesn't really matter for me I guess. It's just a regular e-mail, but I didn't think they would open it if they saw there was an attachement so I left it alone. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has said something, so they know I'm not making stuff up.
Just pretend like you did read the article. That's what I did. Like I said, I feel a little bad about lying, but I trust that Jrockaddict is telling the truth.
 
Wow! I like the email! Very straightforward and professional!
But Sweetie, you said issue #6. It was issue #26.

Also, if you wouldn't mind, you could send it to me. That'd make my day!!!! Actually, that'd make my YEAR! Or what's left of it rather...
*GLOMPS* Thank you!!!! Omg, I love you!

Um, I don't really know. They can cost anywhere from $30-$50, I believe, on CDJapan. I don't know about YesAsia or eBay or Amazon. But on CDJapan, they're EXPENSIVE! But oh so worth going broke!

I saw scans of J-Chan's Designs, and they look like they're from Candy Spooky Theater. Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE/ADORE Candy Spooky, but these clothes were...omg. I'm trying to find the scan again of the 4 pages that it showed.

These are the links to the pictures showed:

http://jchansdesigns.com/Gothic Doll/zJChanDesigns050-Edit.jpg
http://jchansdesigns.com/Azul/zIMG_0032-001.jpg
And I can't remember what the other one was. If you want to go here:
http://jchansdesigns.com/Galleries.html
to find out, you can. The thing is, with all these pictures, they have NO writing on them, so you can't tell which are from Gothic Beauty Magazine.
Take a look. I was shaking my head the entire time. I don't like them.

Man!!! I tried to be so careful and I STILL messed up! It doesn't matter how professional it sounds if it's wrong. :( Well, I tried. Maybe I can retype it and submit it again corrected or something. I guess I should have had you read it first. Poo. Oh well.

I don't like those outfits either and the model wasn't very pretty. It does look like what the Candy Spooky Theatre wears. Like a weird Halloween doll look.
I can look around and find the cheapest place to buy cds. Probably e-bay or amazon. CdJapan will be to expensive to buy two, I've looked there before. It made me want to cry. :p I get paid every other week and I'm putting back money for a cd this paycheck so the next one I will put some back for you. :-) That way if it's an early November release then I will have the money already. 👍 And you're welcome. :-)

I really hope it's an M10M release. I read the translation again and got worried. He wasn't very clear about what it is. He just said a new Mana sound. It's been a year and a half since anything was released by Moi dix Mois so hopefully it will be from them.

Also, I told you I joined Mon Amour and I did, I have an i.d. number and can access the members section and everything but for some reason the money hasn't been taken from my account. It's so weird. I bought something from the shop as well and that money is still in my account too. It's really weird. It bothers me. I joined back on September 25. I hope I wasn't forgotten. That would be sad.
 
oh well if there are more people complaining about that magazine then maybe it won't be such a problem with the number of that issue...but nevermind Sweetie, maybe they already know...and that email sounded great!...:-)
oh and you joined mon amour!!!I totally forgot that...there was just too much I had to read since I missed here that I somehow didn't notice that clearly...well congrats!!!!:cracker: I know you wanted to get there for a long time right? so this must be a great feeling 👍 ... but it is really strange that your money is still on your account :? ... but it takes time to do transactions so probably it won't be there for long I think...hmmm but I hope you wasn't forgotten too...are you sure your account is OK? I mean I hope there is no problem with it...e.g. I can't buy anything from e-shops because my account is not suitable with them...and I would have to pay extra money to make it work :(
 
Well, Mana-sama did say he wanted to put out something for Moi dix Mois this year, he said it in an interview, I believe. So, more than likely, it's MdM. And I felt that's what he was talking about. We shall know soon enough. Also, 2 opposite songs? Definitely sounds like Moi dix Mois to me. Especially since he's so proud.

But I also read in a Kanon interview she was working on a new CD, but I don't know if it was with Mana-sama or not.

But it definitely sounds like Moi dix Mois music coming out next month, to me.
 
@bhiri
I did have to pay an extra 2% because it was an over seas purchase. I'm sure it just takes a little time for things to process. Mana is busy right now so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm going to wait until October 25. That will be a month. Then I'll start making calls.

Thank you for saying my letter was great. I'm not upset about it anymore. I know I tried.

@JRockAddict
That's what I got from his aesthetics too. That it was a Moi dix Mois release because he's so excited about it. He seems to get super excited when it comes to M10M so I know that's what is being released. I can't wait! 🕺 I wonder if they will have new outfits? I bet they do! I also hope Hayato and Sugiya will still be in the band. I like them.
 
I bet they will! I really hope so! It'd be cool to see something new, not that the look they have right now ever gets old, of course. And I hope they are in the band still too!
Oh, I'm sooooo~ excited! I still can't thank you enough Sweetie!
 
Yeah, if they have the same outfits I wouldn't mind but it would be neat if they were new.

You're welcome. It's what friends do. :-)
 
It'd be cool to see what Mana-sama can come up with next when it comes to Moi dix Mois, since he has so many design ideas.
 
I know. I'm hoping for some blue because they have worn black outfits and white ones so they should go with a little blue this time. But whatever Mana comes up with will be great no matter what color it is. 👍
 
Well, if I remember correctly, the "military" outfit they had when Seth was first in the band (the first CD, Beyond the Gate) had blue in it, if I remember correctly.

Sorry, Mana-sama's outfit was blue with black accents. Seth and K's were black.
It's a big picture, but here:

Oh yeah, I forgot about those outfits. Thank you for reminding me. :-)
Well, whatever Mana comes up with is fine by me. I'm still excited about a new release. I really can't wait!
 
I really admire Mana,
At first, he plays guitar very well!
He made a brand who is sublime but too expensive, unfortunately .
He's beautiful ( only with make up ? ... I don't know ) .
His way to live is amazing, and I look up at it .
Never speaking in public, mooving with elegance . <3

I saw there're fans of Mana .
Nice .
 
Aw, a new member! Welcome, ~Monophobia! Where in North-East of France do you live? Like, what city/town/area?
And French is a beautiful language. I adore it. (^O^)/

We need to get this thread moving again!!! How can people not have anything to say about Mana-sama?! ^___^ Hopefully, it'll pick up again, like it did a few weeks ago... T__T Too long ago since then.

Does anyone know what day the new release is coming out yet? Or if it's Moi dix Mois or Kanon?
