I bought the recent FOOL'S MATE magazine today with an article on Mana's birthday in it. I have the pictures which I'll post here, but no article translation. I wasn't really sure if you guys actually cared to read the article or not, since its similar to the one about Dis Inferno, but if you are interested in reading it, just post a comment and I'll certainly translate it!! :mana:

Also, I'm sorry to say, but I'm putting small watermarks on my pictures from now on. People have been stealing my images and putting their own watermarks on them, and that doesn't sit right with me. Some people just like to ruin everyone's fun. :(










,
There is also a set list on the page, with the titles of the new songs included!!

[SET LIST]

1. Gloire dans le Silence
2. front et baiser
3. Night breed
4. Deflower
5. dispell bound
6. The SECT
7. Metaphysical
8. Divne Place
9. Aguns Dei
10. immortal madness
11. Dead Scape
12. Vizard
13. xanadu
14. Eternally Beyond
15. deus ex machina
16. Pageant

**I seem to have found some spelling errors throughout the set list, but as for the new songs I typed them exactly as the magazine spells them, since I can't be entirely sure if the spellings are accurate or typos. I would suspect "Divne Place" is supposed to be "Divine Place" and "Aguns Dei" would be "Agnus Dei," but since there is no official reference to these song titles outside of the magazine I'm leaving them as they are.

oh duuuuuude I so wish i had japanese eyes...

Still that much beautiful ;___; Wow this first picture is really beautiful. And we can see a little bit K on one of the pictures and seems like he looked so cool !

Thanks Sarah again :)

GOD, how I wish I could be there! You fans of Mana residing in Japan should consider youselves really lucky.
I just love Mana's outfits and random (?) obsession with Snoopy.

Again, thank you so much for uploading these articles and pictures! They really make my day.

He is soooo awesome^^
Thanks so much for sharing~

His blouse is open *_____________________*

Thank you very much ManaVampire, that's very kind of you~~ <3
I hope it doesn't bother you and if so, please forget about it but...can you please translate that interview?

Astral> Thats as clear as the picture gets...its really tiny in the magazine, so I don't think you're going to find anything clearer elsewhere. Sorry to say.

Sybil> Sure, I can translate it!!

That is so sad T.T
It is such a nice pic, it is not fair it is so small T_T

Translated the text for anyone who wants to read it!! I think its a really nice article. :heartbeat:

The Bewitching Beautiful Birthday Night
Tour with sworn friend Kozi also announced at MdM's latest live!
Madou Gathering The Moon's 7th Night 2010.3.19 SHIBUYA-BOXX

It was the 7th event known as the Madou Gathering.
A fun night which has become customary to the fans is established once a year as a commemoration live for Moi dix Mois Mana's birthday.

With that said, This day was divided into two parts; the first part being "A Home Party in Mana-Sama's Room".
As Mana came out in pajamas and dog ears everyone rose in a bright cheer. Happy Birthday was sung in chorus, cake candles were blown out, and then there was a rush into a present raffle and question corner...even with the audience members there was a very relaxed mood.

This time the band members also composed a "Happy Birthday" song, but when "Gloire dans le Silence" came on, it was then time for the start of part 2 of the Moi dix Mois live.
Up until then the mood had shifted from calm to the grounds all at once heating up as the symphonic black metal sound roared.
But the fierce devotion died down while the aesthetic mid-number "Deflower" interposed, and the stage became exquisite.

Together as one the audience did the ritual-like poses to "dispell bound".
Continuing on to "The Sect", the live prospered as the European Melodic Death Metal lead into a number with contrast of a violent screaming verse and a build up of drumming technique.
Then, a simple beat extended with a sound that mounted to "Agnus Dei," which shot for a different kind of charm and meaning.
For those who know about Mana's career up until now, it seemed to be an "intimate song,"* or a number that was somewhere between nostalgic and pleasant.
The light of glow sticks swayed left and right during the last song "Pageant", and the firm dark adorning world of Moi dix Mois built up the night.

The album is steadily being prepared and on the way. Sworn friend Kozi was announced to revisit in the "Deep Sanctuary II" tour, and Yu~ki has decided to make a guest appearance.
With three members of MALICE MIZER officially coming together, this is something we can't wait for...!

(Translation by Sarah @ Mana-sama.net)

*I used the word "intimate song" because the Japanese word used as a description of the song doesn't have a direct translation, but it has an emphasis of something bearing emotional involvement to the noun, or in this case, the song being written about in the article.

SARAH SAMA ARIGATOU!!! <33 <33 <33 <33

Sorry Sarah, I had to insert this pic

A Genius at work.



He looks like someone in their element, almost serene.


:dix:

I love his little eyelashes so much!! :3

I am not sure if he is Genius.... But he is a very talented and good looking man.


i do not know why but today i want to drool about Mana too much... XD Maybe it is because of the new pics... I don't have the idea XD

I find it quite odd that the article refered to MdM is "symphonic black metal"

But it was a great article, thanks Sarah!

OKAY so I looked at that picture where you said it looked like ONE person staring down the row at it him -- and yes, that is me. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
