Thanks for the translation. Mana's a gamenerd as always
I might try doing his gamenerd one from "Itan Shinmon" sometime XD

Don't know if it would have been better, without that "far away countryside France suspended in another time" feel. It would have been difficult to film something like this in the Champs-Élysées with cars and normal people around and this bunch of Japanese weirdos in historical French costumes XDfaith wrote:right? XD
Also, I find it interesting that Bel Aire was to be shot in Paris.
It would have turned out very differently if that had gone through...
I love how they were already shocking everyone at their major debut: I imagine Columbia managers going like "fuck! we signed them for pop French songs and they come out with something like THIS?"faith wrote:Contrary to expectation that you would follow the pop track you had started with “Ma Chérie”, the heavy atmosphere even content-wise was unexpected.
M: We didn’t want our major debut to be a pop song.
Quite true. Moreover eccentrics make the French uneasy, ahahahah!Helkär wrote:Don't know if it would have been better, without that "far away countryside France suspended in another time" feel.

OMG, no! Don't even mention them, not after I heard in detail about le gibet de Montfaucon on Sunday. Enough to have horrible nightmares night after night!faith wrote:PS. MissUMana, I meant to tell you. There aren't bones in most of the illegal catacombs. I didn't see any.

If you'd like to know about what was going on in 18th century Paris, and have nightmares, I would advise you read Jean-François Parot's novels (they're all in pocket books, the 10/18 collection). I read the first and could take no more, ahahahah!
Thank you, I will. I most of all enjoy all the oldest MM scans, from memoire and Voyage times. I's amazing that there are dedicated users who scan the old and hard-to-find materials, saving them from oblivion. Especially now that most of VK fanbase is made of people who easily forget bands from 2 years ago to praise only the newest.Iskanderia wrote:@Helkar: I recommend doing a search for the 3 previous MM photo threads too. A lot of great rare stuff has been posted here over the years.
Just so you know, Helkär, I can't stand anything morbid and you'd have to knock me out before you made me visit the catacombs.Helkär wrote:MissUMana wrote:OMG, no!

You two made me want to visit Paris again, I always regretted not having visited the catacombs. And didn't know about le gibet de Montfaucon, I'm reading something (in French) right now, from what I can tell, that's one of the most terrifying places I'd ever read about... (I want to see it D: )

M: Yeah, I’d like to make a game. I have a lot of ideas, but it’s impossible in Japan (lol). I’d like to make a completely brutal one (lol)
Like a massacre? (lol)
M: Yes, like that, brutal. Fundamentally real time brutality would be good. (lol)
Criminals are bad yo (lol)
M: That can’t be done can it, a society based game (lol) If you do something based on real situations it’d be a problem. I’m not like that.
But a brutal type “Malice Game” would be nice! (lol)
M: Well, me, you know, I like to run with my own interests. And I’d like to say to Konami, “Hurry up and release Scramble!” (lol) I really like it but they don’t have a household version. I wonder if it wouldn’t be best to just say it straight out to them…
