Klaha sang monophobia ?

Sorry about that, Klaha sang the choir parts of Kyomu no nakade no yuugi and Hakai no Hate in the Gardenia tour. It was interesting, but I perfered the actual choirs ^^;

Klaha singing Kyomou? i want to hear it!
Wandering fox do you have any sample of it?

It's time for my review..

What a beautiful box...

The two dvd are great..
The live dvd has a very good sound,and it reminds me a lot of good moments during the concert^^
For example ,the liittle change That makes Juka in Perish was as strong as in the live...so beautiful,i guess it"s the best moment for me in the live,i wasn't expecting this at all....
Juka improved a lot,not only on the vocals but on his charism on stage,and he moves a lot he is not static as in SoS.his voice is great in Forbidden and in Monophobia when he cuts slowly his "no return to the sky"
K is K ...scary..i came to the concert with a friend who didn't know anything about M10M and he found K more charismatic than Mana^^''
Kazuno improved too he seems more confident,but because of the small size of the stage he is a bit hidden by the other members but
I love the way they all go forward on stage on Ange.
The guitar movement on Vizard is stronger than in SoS because Both Mana ,K and Kazuno do it.
Pageant is as usual an incredible live song.
Conversely to a lot of people it i didn't find the Ringu part by Mana creepy ...it made me laugh a little..i think Mana is sometimes too much...
There's just a problem...WHERE IS TOHRU? Becoming an official project member didn't change anything,he is like in Scars of Sabbath: Invisible.....The Camera forgot him...
The second Dvd is very good, i love the way the small documentaries are made...
And the Unmoved Version of The Shibuya AX is great!

The quality is kinda bad though, no?

It varies a bit, but for the most part, it's quite average quality. I've heard a lot better and I've heard a lot worse =)

Well, I have watched the dvd twice now. I am very happy with it.
I thought the sound overall was really good. Adding K to the band is a definate improvement to the live show. It sounds a lot more symphonic. The songs have much more power.
Juka was incredible. His voice was so much better than the dix infernal dvd. his vibrato is near perfect live. Especially when he has to sing over those two loud guitars.
I like the changes to the songs too. Like Juka bringing Perish to a creepy crawl..They slowed the song down a lot.
I agree Juka was so full of energy.. It makes me miss him all the more. It is going to take someone really good to fill his shoes.
Rather than go over all the songs one by one..I will just say that
this dvd was well worth the price. All the extra's were really cool. i love the dressing room stuff with them putting make-up on etc..Even all the different shots of the lives. like someone peeking out the side door with the camera at all the fans..
All in all I love this..nuff said.

Sorry, no video ^^; Just an audio... I've seen various clips from the Gardnia tour from various interviews/MM DVDs, but never the whole thing ^^;

I give it a 8 1/2 out of 10

I really loved the sound quality. I prefer it over Scars of Sabbath, 1 because it sounds live and not mixxed. and 2) twin guitars and Juka's vocals.
Ill start off with Juka's Vocals. I dont know if everyone noticed but if you sit and compare both dvds vocally wise. Scars of Sabbath Juka tries to hard to scream, and have very deep "metal" vocals. In Invite to Immorality, his vocals are great and very clear and clean.
The Twin guitars were awesome! I didnt get to go to a show like some people did but I think they drowned out enough of the Synth to make the sound great.. However I think if Mana wouldnt have had his guitar soo high in volume as to compare it to K's it might have sounded better.

All the songs were great, and I prefer scars of sabbath MAD INGRAIN because of the Mana "solo" if you will call it that. also I prefer them to have a larger stage. Putting Kazuno in the back the entire time because K needs a mic just isnt really cool. Kazuno has stated hes there to play with the crowd and make them happy were as K is "suppose to scare" if you call it that..

But overall I was extremely happy and the extras were great I just wish they could of included the other members a bit more is all..
But its Mana not much you can expect of somthing like that..

Lets hope they get a new vocalist just as good if not better start writing more music, give us a single to know of and then I think mana should get some more composers in...

I really think if Mana and K composed songs together which I think thats what Unmoved is then they will sound very westernized metal imo.. <3 tohru's double bass pedals.

I prefer this new version of Mad Ingrain...i wish it was longer or something....it sounds very metal-head....lol.

I don't like much Kazuno and Mana's solo in SoS i always skip them while watching the dvd. <_<
oh and another thing that annoys me is those videos that he put in between songs. It is very cool and all, but when i've seen the dvd many times and want only to see the songs and not the videos, it is boring to keep pressing the foward button, instead maybe they could make separate tracks for these little videos so we can skip them more easily.

Mana seems to be.. changing. The way he plays and presents himself seems less Mana-ish. He becomes more and more aggressive with each new performance I see and it just seems like he's leaving the old Mana behind. Personally, I think this is a great idea. Onstage, especially during Unmoved, Mana doesn't seem to be the elegant one anymore. His headbanging has even become more fierce. Good stuff. ;D

i completly agree, kazuo. And i like that. I prefer this new mana attitude/style rather than old Mana.

Is it just me, or does he look more.. manly too? o__o I think it was the outfits.

 

[Camuflagem]

yeah...it is like now he is showing part of his true self.

I much rather hear the newer MAD INGRAIN. When I saw the one on SoS I remember thinking "Uh, wtf is this? o__O". I dunno. I'm not one for like.. noise I guess.

And on the topic of K.. he's not there just to be scary. Adding guitar, providing death vocals while having a strong stage presence is a big job. I have a feeling K and Mana are going to develop the type of relationship Mana had with Kozi sooner or later. Or at least, I can hope, since I like K so much.

Well true the Mad Ingrain on IoI is realy cool too. And I love Mana's new stage presence.. did anyone else feel like the live was like live at home with them.. The guitars sound soo good compared to SoS.

I just hope in the future that Mana does kinda Make Moi dix Mois a band instead of a project. I think we should live malice mizer were it is and move on.. Moi dix Mois shouldnt be an indie band anymore. And they've done alot compared to other bands, toured japan and europe in 4 years where dir en grey did it in 7-8?

Mana's new stage appearnace is great, fierce, agressive and the way it should be. And I think that he will leave the old femine mana behind and become a new mana still with the femine in him but much more aggressive.

 

[eyeball_princess]

having read all your posts in this topic there's something I find weird:
am I really the only one who noticed that Mana's guitar is barely audible?
I was expecting everyone to state that but seemingly no XD;
