Dix Infernal and Nocturnal Opera seemed to portray very similar themes, but NO seemed a bit more in depth.

Well I think the cover of [NOCTURNAL OPERA] and Solitude have something in common. Mana found himself.

And the only way to get away from Solitude... is to love it!

Well......... back to the topic of Pageant... (LOL)... what does everyone anticipate the color scheme to be? I would personally love to see the Pageant colors in light blue or lavender... those colors just seem so suiting for the song... Kinda like the lighting in the live (sans pink...)... Gah! I need to see the cover art! *crosses fingers for a light blue color scheme!!*

I am expecting blue. Yup...seems inevitable. And probably some white thrown about with all the blackness. And maybe more lolita Mana.

Well, it *is* an old song, so Mana may well dress it up a bit, so to speak.

Imagine....after this, there will be only more new songs, since all the SoS ones are studio-ed. @_@

I'm thinking a more black, white and grey colour scheme.
The theme seems to change with each single, and black and white seems to be the theme for pagent, or at least that's how it appeared in SoS

I have been thinking of nothing else ever since the release of Pageant was announced! As for the colour scheme, I personally like cold colours, so I hope he won't return to the 'fires of hell' imagery of Dix Infernal but who knows? Maybe I'd have a better idea if I at least knew what Pageant is about.

Ooooh new costumes, too! Pageant is a song that SCREAMS Gothic Lolita - so hopefully we'll get Mana in a very Lolita-ed image! *crosses fingers more*

I'm rather surprised that Mana hasn't announced a b-side track with Pageant... I have this fantastic notion that Mana might possibly release a PV w/ Pageant, hence the lack of, well... other stuff with it... Surprise us, Mana - pleeeeeease!! ^_^ But c'mon, no b-side track? That's strange!! Gah! October 6th couldn't come sooner!! >_< Thankfully, I pre-ordered the day it was announced through CD-Japan! *sigh of relief*

Hmm...... I just rambled a bunch... *hides*

As cool as a PV would be, I think it is unlikely. Pageant is a CD, not a DVD, and it isn't expensive enough to be a CD plus bonus DVD. I think the reason why no B-side has been announced so far is that Mana simply hasn't gotten round to writing any new songs yet because he has been so rushed off his feet with other stuff in the past few months. There is precious little info on Midi:Nette, so I think they will update with more details as they become available. I hope that there WILL be a B-side but then I can't imagine Mana would release an old song just on its own.

Good point. I'd like to see a B-side as well, and I also doubt that there will be a PV. I'm probably not going to buy this one tough. Most of the time I don't get singles. They're just too expensive. Miyavi's singles are my only exception. ::dix::

Some how the term "eBay time" amuses me. I do not know why though. It just does.

If Mana starts softening up Moi dix Mois and totally abandoning what he said it was all about.. I might just not buy this single. I like Mana the way he is now, and going back to his little loli-goth thing is so going to drive me away from Moi dix Mois. I'll start protesting once he starts prancing again, then, all hope is lost for Moi dix Mois.

Yeah that'd suck. Don't get me wrong, I LOOOVE the old Mana, but I'm a bit afraid that M10M is gonna start sounding like Malice Mizer. I would HATE that, but I still have faith in Mana. Go dix!! ::dix::

From a creditable and the largest Independent distributor (Daiki-Sound) in Japan states that the number of tracks on [Pageant] is still pending.

To those of you fearing that M10M is "going soft":

I think Nocturnal Opera cleared that up. There were "soft" tracks, but there were also songs that Malice Mizer would most likely NEVER do, like Perish and Vizard. Those are metal riffers, for chrissakes!
So Mana, I think, is increasing the soft, *and* the hard.
Contrast. o-o;
