NEWS FROM MANA ON MODOUSHO#36:
"The new face with a self-made eye patch across his eye, almost like a mystifying pilot, is our vocal Seth!! His voice can sound enviously good. His trademark is the rapid hand bangs, and he is also said to excel in kitchen gardening. He currently has radishes growing. The wild, rough, and burly one is our guitar and voice, K. He changed models recently. The flowing red hair suits him, giving him a cool impression.
It is disappointing but Kazuno and Thoru, who have long supported Moi dix Mois, have decided to go their own way now. Kazuno says he wants to make his own music so I look forward to that.
The band members for the Montamour Limited-Members Concert, which will showcase the newly born Moix dix Mos, will be made up of these three members, plus the concert support members. Depending on the concept, this shall also change in the future.
The newly created sound, - Beyond the Gate - will include the instrumentals for all songs in its Limited Edition version, so it should be twice the more enjoyable. Once you have taken that in, you shall be fully prepared to take part in the long-awaited Montamour Limited-Members Concert. 2006 shall open new doors for Moi dix Mois.

That made me laugh hysterically.... I have no idea why. There's no reason in the world why the poor guy shouldn't enjoy a bit of gardening. *smacks self round head*
And I have been known to garden in a PVC corset before now... ☝ (oh, and pants - I did wear pants too!
)(I got so caught up in images of gardening I almost forgot what I wanted to say!)
It really sucks that Kazuno and Tohru are leaving, I think it could spell the death throes of Moi dix Mois as we know it.
On the other hand, it could lead to a new era of glory, with changes... Let's be optimistic!

^^ I'm happy that Kazuno won't dissapear.
I personally don't think Seth sounds exactly like Juka...even if he does, there's no way of telling from 20 seconds of a song, most of which is music.
And maybe, JUST maybe, Kozi might have got along with Mana, because
get ready for this
Mana's a NICE person. *gasp*
-_-I only see Mana being controlling in MDM, and I think it's because it's his solo project...kind of like he's said it's his solo project. Alot. So if members don't like it, too bad, they knew what they're signing up for. ^^ Tee...hee. (I'm sorry if this has been said, but halfway through I gave up reading cause all it was was people yelling about Mana in capital letters)
Ok. That was my input. This is my first post in this forum, so ummmmmmmm yes. I felt I needed to say that.

I personally love Mana. I also love MdM, and to me, none of their songs sound exactly alike. They all have the same STYLE, yes, but that is Mana's style. I think he has developed greatly as an artist. I love him, and he is such a huge inspiration to me BECAUSE he sticks to his own personal style. He doesn't let anyone else's opinion influence him or his music, and I think that's great. He is completely true to him self. And Masaka- I agree with what you said about the members. They knew what they were getting into. Mana has his own unique style, and like I said, he won't let others change that. I think that being in MM with Gackt really made him realise that. MM wasn't his solo project or anything- it was a band, and he was only part of that band. It didn't revolve around him. He couldn't have complete control over it. MdM however, revolves completely around him, so he can do whatever he wants.Nobody shoot me- these are just my personal opinions.

well, i cannot really blame Mana or be angry with him for his choice in vocalists. he can't help it, Mana is and always has been a control freak. But that is why i love him, he did help to start a huge gothic era for Japanese Music and style. Without him we would not have had many things! Also for a man that old, he knows how to stay hot!! 
I LOVE all of Malice Mizer's music, i find it to be very unique. And I mostly love M10M cause it sounds like some twisted demented video game songs.

lol.do you eat crapz? said:Also for a man that old, he knows how to stay hot!!
i never thought about his age.was it something over 400 like gackt?:? and i never reali thought of mana as a man before.. ^^ *tries to think of mana as a hot old woman* I can see what you mean by it being similar to malice Mizers music. I don't think similar is the word thought, I think 'influence is the word. I downloaded of limewire last night, Schwarz Stein, kozi, Moi dix Mois and Malice Mizer music [And libertines and Rammstein]. I think all the music is influenced by the music of Malice mizer in some way, in each song. Especially in Moi Dix Mois.

Well, since my last posts in here I've come a bit out of my Mana Hater mode so I'll try and say this nicely *glares at certain members (you know who you are)* Yes, the members of Moi Dix Mois probably did know what they were getting into but does that mean it's okay? Not really no. See, MDM wouldn't bother me so much if it was Mana AND Moi Dix Mois kinda like there's Gackt and then there's GacktJOB, ya know? My girlfriend did make an excellent point last night against that however. Because she said it would be hard for that to work since Mana is the Lead Guitarist not Vocalist. But I think that's just thinking inside the box a bit (no offense, darling, you know I love ya) I not only think it could work but it would be cool to see a Guitarist really truly taking center stage. It's never really happened before.
About MDM's music all sounding the same...it's thin ice I'm treding on here so I'm gonna have to be very careful how I put this. Okay, I see MDM's music the same way I see Evanescence's music. Evanescence has found something, a formula, that works well and so that's all they use (just look at "Haunted" and "Hello" the first lines of the opening stanzas' melodies are almost exactly the same) and that is not to say all their songs are the "same" but they all sound similar to each other. Like the Guitar riff used in "Going Under" shows up in all their rock songs just in slightly different variations. MDM is the same for me. Like sometimes I'll be listening to them and think, "Wait, I've heard that beat before" and then I realize I have heard it before...in another of Mana's songs. I've even heard the exact same sound effect used in MDM songs that was used in Malice Mizer's "Baroque." Style is one thing, copycatism is another. I'm not saying Mana's always a copycat but sometimes I'll hear an MDM song and it'll make me so pissed 'cause it sounds like something esle he's done.
But before anyone jumps on me here as well for being "unkind" let me say this. I really believe Mana is going to go down in history with legends such as Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Dvorak, and Tschaikowsky. Because let's face it he is a musical genius. Now does that mean I like everything he's done? No. But then it's near impossible to like everything an Artist has done, I mean, even Chopin had his bad days.

Hm, I meant to say, that the songs of MdM sound similar to each other, whereas Malice Mizer, although they had their distinctive style, they produced songs quite different from each other, too (think Regret with Beast of Blood). But yes, I can hear the influences from Malice Mizer in there. And also in Schwarz Stein and Kozi. (Although Kozi not so much... It's more like his style was taken to MM, rather than the other way around - if that makes any sense. )
It's something about the choice of intervals they use, I think, and also the timings. You can strongly hear the European classical influences there. Kozi seems more influenced by fairground-style music, movie soundtracks and contemporary European goth music.
Has anyone got any of the new MdM stuff? I haven't heard it yet.
Edit - Sorry, Hyde_is_my_anti-drug, you were posting at the same time as me so it looked like I totally ignored your post. >< I agree with you that MdM's music just sounds too 'samey' for me to love it. I would listen to maybe 2 or 3 of the songs, mixed in with something else.
I feel sad about that, because I think Mana had potential to make something much better. I wonder why it happens like this now? Did he just become concerned to make a living, and lose the artistic drive? Did he reach the limits of his composing ability? Was it a combination of those two things? No one can know.
But as for his relationship with the rest of Moi dix Mois, that's another thing no one can know. I agree that just because they consent to his way of doing things doesn't necessarily make it ok. Personally I think that becoming too controlling does stifle some important factor in a group. But just because he calls it 'solo project', and he is the most 'active visible' member (having record company and clothing label too) doesn't necessarily mean that he is a 'controlling' personality when you are actually working with him.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not a 'supporter' of Mana, neither am I wanting to put him down. I just see him as one of those people where it's impossible to get any sense whatsoever of their 'real' personality, so therefore they feel very distant.

Yea, I do beleive that Mana could really accomplish something even greater then what he has done.
But maybe he just wants to leave the JROCK world slowly, instaed of a sudden termination?? I doubt that that is true, it was just some strange idea of my friend...
Then again, we shall never know.
The song Mephisto Waltz. I just played it there and thought it was Gackt in Malice Mizer! O_O
I can't really tell much about Mana now as I never really was much into his stuff....then i downloaded it last night and I think i love it! It kind of annoys me though the fact that every song seems to have derived from a Malice Mizer song.
With that in mind, I never really have liked Malice Mizer as they are now with Klaha on vocals and Kami dead. The Only song I have liked is Beast of Blood. Whereas I just about like every song in the Gackt Era that i have [I think all of them]. However, Schwarz Stein, the band which Mana did manage for awhile, don't really sound liek malice Mizer OR like moi Dix Mois at all. Well suppose that makes sense as Mana wasn't an actual performer in the band. But then again is his bossy behaviour.
Which brings me to another point. It may be his 'solo project' but the other band members are just like him. Trying to make something of themselves. So he should listen to their own ideas, instead of the band's sound and visual output only influenced by his ideas. That is perhaps why he fired those other two band members
I do get salt cube's idea of how Malice Mizer didn't sound the same in every song. Think 'illumanti' to 'au revior', or 'je tu veux' to 'Le Ciel', or even 'brise' to 'Madrigal'. Whereas just now listening through this album *looks at windows media* the NOCTURNAL OPERA album by MDM, they all just seem to sound the same. And this singer sounds very much like Gackt. O_O Then again he perhaps can't help it. In the sense it is how the songs were composed and intended to be like.
Just you saying about Classical music influence, there is definately evidence of Beetoven copying in the song 'Monophobia'. ^_^ *thinks this is his next favourite thread*
