I don't believe there can ever be a Malice Mizer reunion. For real.

Well, perhaps (though I liked it) but the colors were much nicer!

yeah, i think the colours were richer and the cg was quite nice, this sort of looks like a signature on an anime forum, but the cover doesn't matter to me in the slightest. i like what i've heard so far and i'm really excited about hearing the album.

I wonder why voixdinferno left me out, because I might be suspected to be Mana to, eheheheh! Nothing anybody can say can spoil my joy. I'm thrilled!

the only cover i liked was Nocturnal Opera. but i don't really pay attention to the covers in general (that goes for almost all my cd's) all negativity aside, i still have high hopes for this album.

Not if Közi does vox.

But there's probably more money in something more operatic... so Gackt it is then ::meev::

Nocturnal Opera had my favorite cover. I'd like to get my hands on the poster eventually (anybody want to sell theirs? xD).

I've noticed that the pictures inside the booklet are often way cooler than the actual covers.
For example this one from BtG:

I'd prefer this as the cover over that corny "worship me" goth Jesus floating in a sea of red photoshop disaster.

i hope you're referring to the limited edition cover of Nocturnal Opera 'cause i find the standard one to be just as bad as the one for D+SECT.

Had to look that up, and I like the limited one, yes (is there even a poster of that then? I don't have a store bought copy of that album so I don't know).
I don't think the regular one's so bad though. I find it far more attractive and professional looking than the D-sect cover, but maybe it looks worse up close.

i dunno, that contorted decagram looks like it's supposed to be under Mana and not on him, and the blending looks so cheap. the logo and curtains are all right, though.

Contrary to a lot of you, I think the music of Mana isn't decreasing at all. In fact, I take the opposite view. I feel more and more pleasure to listen to Mana's music, especially Dixanadu that a lot of you criticize so much. The more I listen to his music, the more I like.
I agree, I think he keeps getting better and better. Dixanadu was my favourite album so far and listening to the two samples after M10M having been absent for so long I feel like meeting a dear old friend again whom I had been missing. I also don't think it's fair to keep comparing M10M to MM because the scope of both projects is totally different. And apart from the "XID" (in case it isn't a special meaning after all) I still like the cover and I'd love to have it as a poster.

It's not people's fault if they can't appreciate M10M as much as they did. Mana knows not everyone will like it. And honestly, the songs presented so far are not very inspiring. Compare these songs with songs from DI or NO, it's a huge difference.
See, tastes can be so different. DI sounds like a demo tape to me compared to Dixanadu and the new stuff. A very interesting demo tape with boundless energy, but still an "embryo" trying to find its shape.

To answer to you, Camuflagem, I don't think fans can be considered as good friends. It's just what every fan would want of course. But in reality, it's not true. I think an artist should always express himself with his/her art, should always do what he/she wants, even if fans dislike it. Artists don't do things for the fans or they are artists no more but just business men or women. It's the case for the artists but for everyone too.
Well, it's just my opinion ^^

I get your point, but i don't mean being like a friend as in Mana doing what fans tell him. I mean as in telling him the truth, not trying to cover your real feeling because you might hurt Mana, which is BS.

Anyway, waiting for the cd release.

I agree to geisha 100% !!

I think every album was a development and I love DIXANADU the most. Maybe D+S will be my next fave, who knows XD

I never care for the cover.... Well.... I guess my fave poster is Lamentful Miss, the colours are so nice^^

The photo posted... have you noticed his nails are different long?
:P Sry, I had too much time back then and looked at it veeery carefully XD

I feel the same as Geisha.
It's quite intersting to see that people are bored to hear the same kind of songs and would prefer albums like Dix Infernal, which was actually the repetitive album of the band. ::erm::
I don't really give a damn about the cover (okay I think it's horrible), I love the two preview so I'm really looking forward the release!

I think the same and even, I think a Malice Mizer reunion wouldn't be great. Maybe I am wrong but I think we all would be disappointed if it happened. Malice Mizer members first and us secondly. Well, I hope that they will do again special events like they did that summer. But I don't believe in a real reunion and I don't hope it, even if I love Malice Mizer and members a lot.

I still like it too. I don't understand why people are against that cover. Well, there are a lot of tastes on earth ^^

Maybe because he is guitarist. Well it's just an idea XD Often, guitarists have the nails of the hand with which they pluck the strings shorter that those of the hand with which they strum the strings. But in fact, if we see only the hands of a guitarist, it gives the impression that there are two people. A feminine side and a masculine side ?

You said the words : our real feeling. We all have the real feeling that what we believe is the truth. I think that there are as much different truths that there are different feelings. What you believe true may be just your feelings. Sure you can say your feelings to Mana but what you feel is not necessary the truth. What I feel too ^^

In fact, what I have more the impression but maybe I am wrong is that, the closer Mana tries to be with his fans, the more he gives to his fans; the more they feel intimate with him and the more they criticize negatively his art. And, in that way, the more they criticize him personally. And often, they are people who couldn't do the hundredth of what he can do. Like Geisha remembered to us, there are different tastes in that world. ^^ I have the impression that whatever Mana does, some people always blame him. That makes me a little sad. I hope that he will never be bored with all this and will continue to come towards us. I admit that me, in his place, I'd hesitate.

the cover looks cheap, but i like it. changing vocalist is not a bad idea. i think its best if the other members support him in arranging the song, like hizaki grace project.

Like i said, it's the truth for me ( I am not trying to imply that everyone must agree with my view, btw), i have no reason to hide it. I just said that so that other people who are afraid to voice what they really feel don't feel ashamed or sorry to say it. That's all.
