Welcome to the Mana-Sama.net forums! To start things off, I figure we could all introduce ourselves.

I'm Sarah, the Admin of this website/message board. Don't worry about me, I don't bite. ^^ Obviousely, I have a huge passion for Mana, I love the man to death! Other than that, I do a lot of Mana cosplays...A LOT. lol Never under estimate me, I know tons of things about Mana-Sama...probably more things than you ever WANTED to know. :D

Thats all I can really think of for now. Au Revoir. <3

btw, I'm really strange, and damn proud of it. XD

Hi there ^^v.
I think I will introduce myself here, too.
First of all: I share the same passion for Mana like ManaVampire. *tehehe*

I stumbled over a link to this forum 3 or 5 mintues ago and I just thought: "... Uh, not many members Ôo ... go and register yourself to let the member counter rise XD". my english totally sucks [*german desu*], so... don't wonder if nothing makes sense *sigh*.

One of my favorite hobbies is to laugh about Mana. I adore to make fun of him, because mocking him is so easy ...

I'm no interesting person... some other things I love are: the Rocky Horror Picture Show, old zombie movies and music (mostly death/black metal, dark wave and melodic metal).

Well ... that's me :rolleyes:

My name's Desiderata, Mana sama has been my life since two years ago. My favourite J bands/artists are: Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, Klaha, Camui Gackt, L'Arc~en~Ciel, KinKi Kids (Jpop, yes. :P), X Japan, Kagrra, Dir en Grey, Love Psychedelico... and these really are the tip of the iceberg to the array of Jrock I listen to.

Outside my Visual Kei Jrock fanatism, I also listen to Christian worship and Brit/American indie music such as Death Cab For Cutie, Manic Street Preachers, Placebo, Stereophonics, The Postal Service, The Juliana Theory, Franz Ferdinand, The Decemberists, The Tears, New Order, The Libertines, Rilo Kiley, The Velvet Underground, Mew, Beulah, Modest Mouse, Lovedrug, Something Corporate, American Analog Set, Muse, The Smiths, Morrisey, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Broken Social Scene, Her Space Holiday, Dave Matthews Band, The Flaming Lips, Bloc Party, Rogue Wave, The Appleseed Cast, The Gloria Record... etc.

*phew*

and my heartfelt gratitude to ManaVampire for creating this brilliant Mana web shrine! ^_~

Yo,

I go by many names, on forums like these but i gotz a new one now ^__^

My name is Kris
Bands (jROCK) i like : M10M , Malice, Amadeus, Lareine, Phantasmagoria, D, Blood, Vidoll, and many more.
Other bands: Shape of Despair, Skepticism, and many mor ei cant think of lol

ehhhh I love the Castlevania game series thats where i got the name from

Yea see ya

-waves-
i'm marc

i found this site from a post in the moi mana LJ community

i draw a weely webcomic called rust
i play guitar and things in a band called 3ulogy
(we're stompy industrial rock strangness i suppose)

and other than that it's all the obvious stuff really..
i like a wide variety of music (ranging from j-rock to strange electronica)
i'm a huge gamer nerd (i collect japanese sega staurn games.. heh)

and i think that's enough info for now :)

i shall see you all around!

I'm Crimson Bleu. Not really much to say... I'm a Mana fan. I'm also a follower of the Gothic Lolita style... I also like Gackt and Dir En Grey. But seeing as how this is a Mana forum, we'll just stick with him ^^

Oh, you all know me. I'm that sexy guy. The one with the awesome username.

Anyways. Yeah. I'm one of Sarah's friends, And I was dealt an injustice. She expected me to read her LJ to find out! =O

She should know I'm a lazy ass by now! =O

XD All kidding aside, I am Sic. My real name is Hayden, I like all REAL music (Aka, no rap, no emo, no nu metal, etc.), But mostly, I like heavy metal and visual bands. I am random as hell, and according to Sarah's rules (Psh, silly rules. Rules are for conformists.), I will not spam. I will not spam. I will not spam.

My favorite bands are X Japan, Malice Mizer, Dir En Grey (earlier stuff), David Bowie, Loudness, Motley Crue, hide, Yoshiki, The Beatles, etc.

I play bass, guitar, flute, and some drums. I think I'm at least profficient at all of them.

I also like to sing...I can sing like Niihara! X3

Well, enough rambling from a sad lazy ass with no social life. Peace.

....And word to the missus.

Hey. I'm jrock fan who goes by many names on the net, usually Dix Infernal or Aiseki Anrui. In fact, the former is not only my username here, but also my name at the -scape- forums.

My bands of choice are: Moi Dix Mois, D'espairs Ray, La'Cryma Christi, Malice Mizer, Blood, Dir en Grey, GLAY, Schwarz Stein, Duel Jewel, Eve of Destiny, DA:VASSER, Pierrot, Aqua Leaf, Gazette, Lareine, Luna Sea, Plastic Tree, X Japan, hide, Yoshiki, Suicide Ali, Baroque, Aikaryu, Cross Cradle, Due le Quartz, Kagrra, Nightmare, Miyavi, with occasional bouts of Gackt.

I don't listen to much American music at all anymore, except for a few favorites. I'm a big trivia-whore, and knows a lot of weird and useless things about all my favorite bands. I'm also rumorbane- anyone squeaks a rumor, I jump on it squash it, and then proceed to squash them....I don't like people spreading things they can't even verify.

I'm a punk-goth chick who likes EGL and EGA....but doesn't have the cash for the outfits. I also rarely have the cash for cds and such, but I make my way (just ordered La'Cryma Christi's new album, Zeus, today).

So, um....yeah. I love Japan, I love Mana, I love jrock and vk. And that's about it.

Hello all

My name is Kirsten but feel free to call me Sten (no I am not Sweedish or a boy -___-), I adore Mana otherwise I don't think I'd be here.

I'm Canadian, and speak no Japanese whatsoever.

My fave bands would be: Malice Mizer, Moi dix mois, Skillet, War, Dean Martin (^___^), Gackt, and Broadway musicals :D

I'm learning to play guitar and hope to one day be in a rock band, or singing on Broadway as long as it has music I'm happy.

I like to read, moslty more classical pieces of literature, and sometimes try my hand at writing stories.

Um...I write all my own lyrics and am learning to write music.

I have the same birthday as Mana-sama :D

And I suck at intros...:P

Adieu

Oh, I do hope I'm not late. :unsure:

I'm Trepie, found this place through LiveJournal. I believe it was posted in the Cult of Mana. I know I'm a bit late... just hopefully everyone hasn't died.

Oddly enough, I know Sic there. I've seen him around XGAM and Sky-Reaction, where I go by Trepie still.

I go by Kintaro, but feel free to call me Trepie if you don't feel like remembering it.

Eee, I'm a bit late too.

My name's Heather and I joined a couple days ago. I've been a fan of Mana for a few years. :D I'm obsessed with both Japanese traditional and pop culture, and I'm learning the language in school.


I wish I was as pretty as Mana is. <3

:o I know you!

Wierd. This is trippy.

Anyways, welcome!

Yeah, small internets.

Thanks!

do people still go to this forum???

Not sure if this is allowed but here are some pix of me (sorry if it isn't):

Pic of Me 1
Pic of Me 2
w/pigtails
wearing fav. white hoodie
omg not another pic
w/fav.shirt
That last pic was resized. I edited the sign to say Ulzzang for this one LJ comm I go to

sorry for the amount of pix. Just think if we're gunna chat on this forum..ya might as well know what I look like .


Anyways..

My name is Brandy. I have known about Jrock for a few years now but I've only really started to like it late last year/early this year. I love Malice Mizer , Moi Dix Mois..and obviously Mana. I wanna cosplay mana sometime..somewhere if possible.

I like alot of other jrock as well ^-^. Not gunna name everyone tho..but I will name a couple more. Miyavi , Dir En Grey , and Antique Cafe.

I <3 Gackt to. but I dont really catogorize him (sp?)

non jrock singers I enjoy are Utada Hikaru , BoA...err...I like ALOT of korean pop groups ^-^. Like..H.O.T (solo projects as well as the group) , 1tym , and The Trax..

There are more jrock and kpop groups I love but really..naming them would take toooo long ^-^

I love music in general. A wide variety. Altho I don't like much country music. I'm not a very good singer neither am I very good with instruments but I love listening to talents..and I'd like to thing I have a good sense when it comes to hearing good talent.

I might as well mention other singers I like. only some tho. David Bowie , The Rolling Stones , Bon Jovi , The Beatles , Green Day , Futon , The Veronicas......I could go on but I'm sure you guys know by now my answer : that'd take awhile.

I am 19 years old and currently living in the hellhole known as conway arkansas. I moved here from Washington state with my mom in september and now we're moving back in April. I mean..its not that bad of a town really..but the town I lived in before was near seattle AND not as far away from canada.


I can be a bit talkative when I get to know someone but I am very shy at some points..which the people I know well forget once they know me well.

I love to read , write , listen to music (lol..y'all have probably guessed that by now) , cook (god I love cooking. I've made my mom lunch and breakfast several times and tried to be creative...even if its a lil simple looking) , rollerblade (altho watching me rollerblade must be rather comical) , swimming. , hanging out with good friends. ^-^

I'm sorry if I've said "I , me ...blah blah blah" so many times but hey..this is an intro and I happen to make long ones. I swear I'm not the egomanical vain snob I must seem like. Maybe a touch self-concious though but I try and get along with everyone.

I don't have a set style either , really. I like small variety of clothing styles ^-^


I hope to make some friends here and please forgive me if I come off as vain cause I'm really not..I just thought since this was an intro thread I could intro myself ..but I might have gone overboard..sorry everyone! :( :ph43r:

Hello and cordial greetings to all. ^_^
My name is Lana and I am from Northern Ireland (aka the bit that's a part of the UK).

I like alot of bands but I'm currently listening to alot of Malice Mizer and Moi Dix Mois (and by that I mean more than usual).

I'm kinda shy yet have an opinion about everything, so there will probably be alot of posts from me but I won't say much! ^_^

I hope to go to one of Moi Dix Mois European concerts one day, preferably in Germany as it's cheaper to fly there than France (odd, considering France is closer) and my Mother's German is better than her French.
Though I fully intend to become a Platinum member of Mon Amor first, unfortunetly that will probably take some time. I hate being poor. :P

Well, I hope to have many interesting and informative discussions with you all so until then I bid you adieu!

Well, I'm known through out the internet as Kaz. I'm 5'1", 105lbs, sixteen and love cats. I'm addicted to my online game, GoPetslive.com (if you sign up, say Kazzeh was your refferer. ;D). I'm fairly active on forums when I get the complete chance to be. I tend to like smaller communities for forums, such as this one. I'm double, maybe even triple jointed in my arms to where I can turn my arm around in a complete circle and then bend it (PM for a pic. XD). Random fact: I got on www.boners.com the other day. ;-; I'm the "Don't Mind if I Do" chick. -sigh-

Someone else from the UK!

^_^ Yes, someone else from the UK.
And I'll be getting my Mana loving friends to join as well (I've already got one on here: Na-chan).

oh hellz yeah!!!!

get zeifi here, mana-senpai!!! (don't ask)

Woot, UKers. <3

One of our Moderators here, Count_Drakula is also a UKer, however she has disapeared off the face of the internet for some time now. :x

Hey you all,

I'm sorry, I think I'm going to be the "latest" person in this forum. :D
My name is Anna, I am 22 and come from Germany (any Germans here???). *so sorry for my English which obviously can't be perfect*
But...better late than never.
I heard of Moi dix Mois last year the first time..and well..liked it. But a few weeks ago I had the chance to see them on stage the first time. And from this moment I really fell in LOVE with Moi dix Mois and especially Mana. I couldn't get my eyes of that guy. *wonderful* :)
So, thats sth about me.
Hope to hear from you all soon!!

Hello! Welcome to the forums! (^^) We have people from all over the place here, I'm not sure Germany, but I wouldn't be surprised. XD Please enjoy your stay!

I've had a year of German so if you're stuck on an English word, I could try to play as a translator for you. =)

Hey Kazzeh, thanks so much. Why had you german in school? Thats kind of strange. Did you like it?
:)

Hey there!

My name is Elisabeth (Call me Liz.. B) ) I come from Norway, and I'm 20 years old.
I'm 173 tall, and weigh around 50 kilos, if that would interest anyone. (Not likely)
Other than Mana, my interests are music, I'm on my way to learn to play the piano myself. I also enjoy reading, drinking and watching movies.

Right now I don't really have anything more to say.. I'll be seeing you!

Yay, another big music fan! Good luck at learning piano, I hear it takes a while.(^^)v

Anyway, Welcome to the forums!

Thanks! And yeah.. Looks like it might take a while.. Especially since I'm starting out all on my own.

Hello! I'm Manic Macabre! But I ain't tellin' ya my real name!
But I also go by the names of Ryunosuke and Mana Maleficarum!
I'm really into punk/gothic fashion ( but not so much into EGA sadly....) and I'm a big j rock fan! My favourites are Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, Gackt, L'Arc en Ciel, Psycho le Cemu, Miyavi, and numerous j pop singers. I'm a big fan of Final Fantasy ( but its mind boggling as to why Mana doesn't like it! I mean who doesn't!? ) and anything having to do with dot hack. Anyone who plays Final Fantasy XI on the Bismarc server will recognize me as Ranakae, the noob-ish kid who's obviously obsessed with j-rock.

Hey all.

My real name is Jens, I'm from Denmark, studying computer science at the local university (yes, I'm a geek :P), and I'm 26 years old.

First discovered Mana and Moi dix Mois a couple of weeks ago, so I'm a real newbie, but I already love his music.
Got to find some Malice Mizer next. :D

Apart from that I'm interested in music (mostly metal), computers (well, duh!), books (Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, Frank Herbert, G. K. Chesterton, and others), and other stuff.

Random facts:
I've been known to write poems at times.
I love a good omelette. ^_^

Erhm, I think that's that for now.

lol, I love a good omlette too. XD

God. Computer Science. XD I'm glad you're good at it. We need people like you in the world to keep our computers all up to date and such. I took a computer science class last year, and it definately wasn't my thing...I'm more of an english and arts kind of person. Math boggles my mind. x_x

Anyway, Welcome to Mana-sama.net forums! I try to keep this place as up to date with new Mana/Moi dix Mois related information as much as I possibly can, and I can probably answer any questions you might have about Mana-sama (except for stuff like his real name or age...because nobody knows that :P). Please enjoy your stay! (^^)

Hello to you all.

I’m a Japanese Rock lover. My favorite Japanese Bands, Malice Mizer (Really a Shame, I loved this band). Moi Dix Mois (Duh!) and many others (To much, later on I tell).

Well I subscribe at this forum, just because I’m consider myself as a huge fan of Mana.

Why I like him?

He just don’t give a f*c* to what people think of him. Its just adorable when dresses like a girl. It’s a very talented person (I consider him a genius-.-)

A could just talk, talk, talk, talk of mana here..

Well take care everyone.

Hello there. :) I'm Kinsao and I saw this forum advertised on Jref. I have a lot of admiration for Közi's work post-Malice Mizer, and I also love Malice Mizer, and I like a lot of the solo work of the ex-members. ^^

About me, I'm 27 years old and I live in the UK. I've only heard of Jrock a bit less than 2 years ago, and can call myself a 'Jrock fan' since about 18 months. :) I've only attended one concert (MUCC). I play the guitar (electric and acoustic) and sing, and I can also play the keyboard a bit. I've had singing lessons, flute lessons and music theory classes in the past, but no formal training on the guitar. I'm not in a band (sadly ><). Although in 2007 I hope to work on a recording project (need to save up for equipment first though!). :)

My farourite Jrock bands :

X-japan
Glay & Malice Mizer

Thanks for all your helping to me!

Nice to meet you!

Hey there, nice to meet you too. :)

If you got any questions or need help, just ask. Somebody can properly help (depending on the subject).

i should probably have done this before posting elsewhere :unsure:

hi im jake, i don't like capital letters, and i am a huge mana fan.
i like pasta and chocolate. i'm canadian (woot) and wear rubber-band necklaces. i'm learning the clarinet :) and japanese. (not very good)
that's all

@Ayako Hayashi- Finally someone else from Texas!!

I'm a very big fan of X Japan myself, and obviously Moi dix Mois and Malice Mizer...but to be honest, I have more respect for X Japan than any other band. They're so very influential to the music scene all around, and thats quite an accomplishment that I believe is more than worthy of for full respect. Did you get to see Yoshiki this August when he was at the anime convention in Maryland? I would have died to see him in person.

@changelingVI- Welcome to the forums!! I like pasta and chocolate as well...Infact, I *love* chocolate. <3 XD

Sup, the name's Dante. Not my real name, just a big fan of Devil May Cry.

I love video games: Resident Evil, Legend of Zelda, .hack, DMC, Xenosaga, Final Fantasy. Are my favs. My console of choice is PS2. I also like Nintendo, but I'm not a fan of Xbox.

I've been listening to a lot of j-rock lately. My favorite band is Malice Mizer. Dir en Grey and Moi dix Mois are also j-rock bands I really like. I could care less how the band members look as long as they make great music. So I guess you can I'm not that much of a fan of Visual-Kei. Their outfits are cool, and I enjoy watching their videos. But I'm not like those "OMG Mana Iz teh HawtneSS!!1! He's Lik teh COOLEST!" people.

Other than music and video games. I also like anime, manga and slashing throats with a chainsaw, but let's not get into that. (XD, j/k)

I go to a .hack forum. Well, one day somebody decided to create a topic entitled "Mana-Sama!!!!" That somebody is Manic Macabre, who's also a .hack fan. Manic posted a link to mana-sama.net and that's how I came across this forum. XD, the topic din't last much considering I was the only person other than Macabre who's also a fan of Mana.

Randomness: I watch Sponge Bob, and I'm not afraid to admit it. When I'm angry, I might say things like "Tartar Sauce!" or "Barnacles!" or "Gary the snail! You listen to me when I'm talking to you!" Yep, that's me.

yes, It was me who led him here. since there was absolutely no trace of Mana-sama's presence, I decided to start a thread about him. and I like sponge bob too. XD its very funny. and hi Dante! I'm glad u joined!

Our Mod, Count_Dracula is a huge sponge bob fan. XD
