Batsu posts M10M concert rumor

[Cally]

Neee... SDjilliaRE, don't worry about them... thinking back they're just trying to bust your balls... as well as the rest of us here at -scape- by trying to make you look like an ass to all the other little fancy-pants wannabes over there.

Don't sweat it. They're just jerks who wish they could get a job shining mana's big-ass boots, let alone partner up with him for a tour. XD They fail.

 

[SDjilliaRE]

Thanks guys. ^^ Oh, and I have this:

Way to go. I guess some people just need an intense doseage of Mana fangirling. I'm impressed that you guys have been spying on us... Don't worry. We've been doing the same to you. Eh, none-the-less, you're just starting something that never had to start. Did I ever insult Batsu? No. You fail miserably. Oh, and we'll keep an eye on Batsu. ^^

EDIT: Uh oh. What if she tells them that it's -scape-, and we start to flood in n00bs?

bahaha XD I officially love you for the above quote

And bring em on. We can take it. And as long as they play nice I'm sure they will either
a- See the light
b- Not get themselves banned like whoa by our ever-awesome mods

I vote that we all make a BATSU post, with everyone ever-so-lovely flipping off the camera, with the permission of the mods of course. But it probably wont happen so it's all good. And I'm in a fightin' mood anyway (someone stole my 21st birthday present off my front step this morning before i got to open it ;_, so it probably isnt exactly my best idea anyway. So uhm.. ignore this last paragraph or so XD

 

[SDjilliaRE]

I'm sorry about your present. But you're right. Scape is a Mega site! I don't know why I was being paranoid. ^^;;

Also, Mana prefers Europe over the US because it suits his image better, & he'd probably get a lot more support in an continent known for enjoying heavy metal & his kind of darkness.

So far the only people in Europe outside the VK scene who seem to have warmed to M10M has been the Goth scene. In a recent poll by Orkus magazine, Mana and M10M achieved top ten marks in almost every category, including newcomer of the year and most impressive personality. Reactions from the Metal scene on the other hand range from mostly indifferent to openly hostile ("faggots in fancy dress"). I guess it mirrors the fact that M10M aren't really a Metal band, even though their music contains strong elements of it. Their overall image, especially Mana's lyrics, is much closer to Goth than Metal and many Metalheads are put off by that.

True, but i think that this new album is somewhat step to heavier direction. Nocturnal opera was almost pop'ish compared to beyond the gate album. I think this heavier style will also last atleast little longer. Though, you never know, Mana can make rather radical decisions almost about everything.

NO. That's REALLY STUPID. You do that, and it makes us look even worse.

Now read this, you guys: They're pissed because there is a wrinkle in their so-called plan to bring Mana here. It makes them nervous that we can pick out so many flaws in their organization and their 'leader' as to prove a damn good point that this is bull shit. Since they don't have any facts to back up their claim that Mana is coming through their organization, they have proceeded to fight back the only way they know, and that is by taking shots at us. Ignore it and be the bigger person. This will end pretty soon.

@SDjilliaRE: Dude, you know that was pretty stupid using your regular sn on a board like that. You knew they were psycho, you should have made something up. I'm not saying what they did was justfied, but you merely made it more simple for them to track you easily.

 

[flowersofnight]

Sorry for my language, but this is fucking ridiculous! I say we go to war with batsu.

But why? They made me laugh out loud so much!

(apart from the "stomping of Japanese fangirls," which is cheered with cretinous gusto).

"FOOK YEAH!"
What can I say? I'm a simple man with simple pleasures

Anyway, let me repeat: I do NOT want a forum war or anything like that. Don't provoke the posters there, don't respond to their taunts, don't call them on their BS. Just leave things alone.

we love you guys. they're so full of shit.

You know they're just jealous! Either that, or they've been stomped by us before...

 

[navate]

SDjilliaRE: Walk away. It was stupid to post there in the first place (especially with the same sn). Don't say anything else.

Callisto_Almasy: . . . No.


I really do not feel like dealing with a flood of Batsu trolls just because a few people here couldn't keep their mouths shut. You're only perpetuating the bad reputation we have if you start antagonizing other forums to start fights. If people post at such a lousy forum as Batsu, they obviously don't give a shit about any of the respect we have for the artists here. It's not worth anyone's time to try and "convert" them. If they start coming over here to troll, Flowers and I are the ones who are going to have to deal with them. Sorry, but I really do not feel like dealing with a forum war over something so stupid. It's not worth it.

And that is directed towards everyone. Please, people. Roll your eyes at them all you want here but don't post there to defend scape or call them on their bluff.

Aand, I do recall Mana saying he would like to come to America. The only problem was that he didn't have an organizer.. or.. "connections" I guess. Why would he ditch more than half of his international fan club? =/

Mana-Sama said once that the quantity of M+A members doens't really matter. The problem are the agents. Neotokyo did a GREAT job with m10m, but I don't think any other agency would risk thousands and thousands of dollars bringing something from another country and take risks with No public. That's because we have to consider the amount of people that would come to the show.

I'm dealing with JBC here in Brazil, and they seemed pretty interested in bringing something new (JBC is an agency which deals only with japanese culture events). And now we are making contact with Midi:Nette, and until now, our response is good. The only thing I have to organize is kind of a poll..
but but but anyway..

I totally agree with you, Geisha. (by the way I think I saw you.. erm... nevermind XD).

If Dir en Grey can have sold out concerts here, then I have no doubt that Mana could do the same.

 

[navate]

Dir en grey has a much larger fanbase than Mana, though.

Still, it's not like the venue would have to be huge. I think Mana is just looking for the right partner. I wonder if he's avoiding joining up with the likes of Jpophouse/Free-will America/Jhouserock because he's so adverse the being thrown in with the "visual kei" label these days. He's certainly working hard in Europe to avoid the VK stigma.

 

[Formless]

Wow, I am totally turned off by the behavior of some people in this thread. What made you think that posting on their forum was a good idea, SDjilliaRE? Let things unfold on their own. You don't see their members busting in -scape- (.. although they might now) and trashing on us, do you? Don't speak for the entire forum. Especially since majority of us disagree with you greatly. If you ask me, the most ridiculous behavior so far isn't Batsu's, it's yours.

You saw me?

 

[bruke]

TOTALLY TRUE. But I still think it's possible. Try to find an agent/promoter, and talk to him about possibilities.

You saw me?

yeah! o.o" I'm not sure though. But if you were running in one of the Invite to Immorality extras, I definately saw you. xD

aww.. dammit u_ú

 

[Elec]

Everyone is flipping out way too hard. I don't understand why fans can't be a supportive network. Constructive criticism and all that. Some scapers are as much at fault as Batsu (never mind them, by the way; they don't have jobs).

 

[Wandering_Fox]

Have I really not checked this for late long? The last time I saw it it was like... 10 pages... and now it's 20... Could someone please make sense of this? Because I'm really confused as to what's going on ^^; So far I have:

1 - Batsu wrote a rumor that has been unconfirmed and they apologized but did still seems to think that the tour will happen
2 - Someone wants to write a letter to Mana about... something, but I'm not entirely sure what
3 - People want to go see Mana in Hawaii in traditional hula-girl garments
4 - Midi:Nette has done nothing about Batsu who is uploading full Moi dix Mois albums onto their website

Can anyone clear this mess up? So may different posts are making this very confusing to me ^^; Sorry!

Yes that was Geisha xD

 

[katinka]

This is getting blown way out of proportion... I wish Midi:Nette would confirm or deny this already. :?
