Japanese Visual Metal

[flowersofnight]

So, anyone seen this thing?

It seems like Moi dix Mois, Versailles, D, and Matenrou Opera are doing a sort of collaborative promotion in 2023.

1. They'll be touring together in September/October 2023, and also individually throughout the year.

2. "The ban on being vocal at lives is lifted" (????) I guess this is related to what Mana was saying on Twitter about how he wanted his fans to be louder.

3. They're "creating a new scene" called Japanese Visual Metal, which sounds like it amounts to each of the 4 bands in question promoting the others on SNS and encouraging their respective fans to support the other bands.

There will be a pop-up shop in Shibuya this month, with a number of talk events being held:

But most importantly....

THEY HAVE A TRUCK



This ad truck will be driving around Shibuya playing the bands' music while the pop-up shop is going on

I hope all of this increased visibility on Mana's part (Moi meme Moitie photoshoots, Vizard Tarot thing, and this Truck/tour) is indicative of a near future release of Moi dix Mois's next album.

Look, if there's one thing I've learned it's to never, ever, ever bet on the album XD

 

[Lempicka]

That's a nice combination of bands!! That truck is a nice surprise too.

 

[flowersofnight]

By the way, not that this should surprise anyone but it's curious that the rest of the Moi dix Mois musical subcontractors don't rate a photo or even a mention here, nor are they doing any of the talk events. I wonder if they just weren't interested in doing this promo thing.

 

[Js_klaus]

Mana said something like "they're busy, I'm the master here"

Bands release albums?! I'm ready for more tarot.

 

[MeikyuuNoTobira]

To be honest, it didn't occur to me that they could have been there...

Mana explains the absence of the Musical Services Subcontractors:

"I think there may be some people wondering, 'what about the other members?' in the 'Joint Declaration' photos. It was planned for all members to be photographed, but each of them had their own commitments and try as we might, we couldn't get the schedules aligned for everyone to be photographed at Modi. So, please understand that the Moi dix Mois photo was of me only."

I presume they were all busy with their own bands/projects.

Cross-promotion from Mana:

In which he advertises a oneman tour for D using only his own image and music Look, he's trying I guess XD

Seems like everything (including Sugiya's hair) got stretched upwards by an indecent amount

Only the Lord of Darkness' kayfabe is ironclad

Welcome aboard, by the way

THANKS!! <3 And, you can notice the right is breaking the keyfabe while the left keeps the gimmick lol
And Kamijo is always having so much fun in these events, sometimes I wonder, he must be someone cool!
Mana and ASAGI must be shy ones, Mana is obvious, but didn't knew ASAGI was also in the keyfabe...
