I think he looks awesome in the greenhaired photo. That's like one of my all time favorite pictures of him :P

Mana's re-engineering an old Malice Mizer song. No idea which one, but must be for Deep Sanctuary V which means it's probably a Mana composed song they did not play before at a Deep Sanctuary concert.

The room where he works looks amazing. So cool that he is sharing tonight.

As for that floppy disc, I hope he decides to have someone archive anything else he has like that onto better storage.

Maybe fan favourite S-CONSCIOUS is getting a new coat of paint. ::gaku::

It did grow on me... after a long time. I think it definitely works better live.

There's definitely more. "Beast of Blood" had to be salvaged from old floppies too, when they wanted to perform it for a previous Deep Sanctuary. I'm astonished that he didn't learn his lesson and backup ALL the old stuff after the trouble he had back then ::hora::
As one of the commenters alluded to, Mana used to do all his sequencing on a Yamaha QY700:

Before he got into Macs, anyway. ::mana::

I love the look of old audio equipment, when I was a little kid I used to really enjoy wandering through op-shops checking it all out. Although I had no idea what any of it was or how it worked, I just loved the black plastic and the multitude of screens, dials and buttons, not to mention the stink of cigarettes that usually accompanied it.

Whoa, is that a no-makeup shot? Truly the rarest of all Christmas gifts ::mana::

By the way, did anyone notice the crazy fangirl on there who thinks Mana is her boyfriend? :lol: I haven't seen one of those in the wild for years and years ::meev::

I guess the nude makeup look has reached Mana!

Had to go look, wow, what a treat!

Her twitter really is the gift that keeps on giving.

Person has been around in different places for a few years at least. Latest incarnation probably won't last much longer.
They are just catfishing fans to get attention. Best ignored and not responded to.

All I can say is if I had a good looking interesting musician boyfriend I definitely would not be spending the holidays online harassing fans....even if I didn't have one I wouldn't be doing that. Person has issues to put it mildly.

WOAH O_O almost nomake!

There are a few crazies out there. Like the crazy Russian girl who really does think he's her boyfriend (she's never talked to him).
Or that middle aged Japanese chick who spatulas makeup onto her face and makes ambiguous comments about an "M" san. But she has a cat so it's ok.

I don't understand.
Catfish is a term used for someone pretending to be someone else online. A made up personality with the intention of deceiving others for various reasons.

There's no way Mana will reply to this person and most likely blocked them on Twitter. This person keeps harassing fans on Twitter to get a response from them along with the repeated tweets about ending their life (done to get a response from people online). They obviously have emotional issues. It's best just to not respond to them at all.

Yeah, they were following Mana up until a point, he probably blocked them after they began harassing him to let everyone know that they were together.

I still don't understand catfishing? Is that a term?

Yeah, it's a real word. Usually it refers to people seducing others under a fake online identity though. You know, to bilk them out of money or whatever.

Yup. It seems for many it's a need for attention. Pretty clear that is what is going on in this case. Sad but also sad for the people they are harassing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catfishing

Wiki is being a bit circumspect in their definition. It's a bigger issue than they give credit to. There are people who scam pretending they have sick kids, they are sick, someone they know has died, they have died, ect. It's the act of faking an online persona to get something out of others, be it money, attention or whatever.

This is actually pretty cool, but as usual don't count on it fitting unless you're the size of a Japanese girl.
