Yes, Flowers posted about it further back in the thread.

 

[Kincaid]

Yes.

 

[Legato]

wow....

i feel stupid not noticing this thread...

i think this may break my m10m addiction. but i will still buy the new album just because i promised myself i would a month ago

 

[Xin]

Oh My, I guess i'm quite a bit late in finding out about this. Suppose that's what I get for not visiting here as often as I should

Shame they are leaving, but good luck to them in their future projects.

 

[UAShenlong]

So what does this mean for the new Moi Dix Mois album?

Touring will be delayed?


If Mana decides to make a PV this time, who will be in it?

The new/future Moi Dix Mois?

 

[flowersofnight]

All Mana's plans for the future already include the new lineup. Beyond the Gate will feature Seth, and the first live of the reborn M10M will be in March 2006.

Oh, I know. But it just seems a hell of a coincidence that they all three decided it at once.

~ketsu

They didn't. Juka left in early April and Tohru and Kazuno left more recently. If they had all left in April then Mana would more likely than not have a full new lineup now and wouldn't have to play the FC live with support musicians.

eeto... I don't know about Kazuno, but for Tohru, i'm almost sure he goes on in may. He was interviewed in a magazine about the Aki concert and it was mentioned "ex-moi dix mois since may". remember??? the magazine was released in july (is something about tea party =P).... maybe I can be wrong, who knows...

When he was listed with Aki though it didn't say "ex-Moi dix Mois" it just said "Tohru (moi dix mois)".

 

[D]

Yeah, it was a MAD TEA PARTY magazine featuring Tohru with Hiroki of D.
It didn't say "ex. Moi dix Mois" next to Tohru....
You probably would have heard it from me haha
Tohru was my favorite :?

 

[Nocturne]

Is it me or does Heath look like crap compared to what he looked like in X Japan?

That just looks horrible, like one of those 80's hair metal singers that still play at metal events or try to come back with new music and fail (Plus, hearing his music on the site...it sounds...awful imo.)

That isnt a bad pic though.

 

[ken]

Eh I personally think he doesn't look too bad. Not amazing or anything, but I wouldn't say he looks "like crap"

 

[Mukau]

I think he looks nice, actually. :>

Your being a little harsh, imo.

 

[Nocturne]

Its more of the first pic I posted of him. He looks too stereotypical IMO. I like how he looked in X Japan better. Not much difference, but there are subtle ones.

 

[Miz]

I haven't seen his X Japan look, nor do I know much about X Japan (I KNOW, SHAME ON ME. >_>), but I think he looks pretty good for someone who was in a band a loooooooong time ago.


Look at Ash!! (Kidding.)

 

[Wandering_Fox]

A bunch of my Japanese friends are die-hard X Japan fans and they say that Heath is the least popular member of the band and always was ^^;

 

[D]

Yeah.. Heath wasn't my favorite...
He wasn't in X-Japan too long really.... He came in around ART OF LIFE to the end (which wasn't really toooo long).
I don't think he looks like "crap". Maybe the clothes are a bit cheesey, but I don't think Heath himself looks bad.

Well, guess what kind of band he was in. :O An 80's metal band! At least he's not wearing leopard skin pants. >__>

 

[Zagatosan]

There's also the fact that his style of bass playing, in my opinion, was vastly inferior to Taiji's (why is why Heath was unpopular), who actually tried to put a melody in it. Heath was basically just mashing strings in a various fashion to keep up with hide and Pata. Art of Life was a great song, probably X's best. Just that bass wasn't all that important during it (Yoshiki's Piano and Toshi's english were). Maybe the whole 9 minute piano solo is a little much (I usually skip it unless I'm playing a game or something)

Post X-Japan, didn't Heath form RA:in? I know Taiji went off and did something while Toshi went and became a cult member / vocalist who's now retired. Seems like even in death, hide is still more awesome than 3/4ths of his band mates! Excluding Yoshiki who's actually made something of himself.

Still, kinda odd to see two goths teaming up with a metal 80s artist. What's next? Marilyn Manson and Robert Smith teaming up with Van Halen?
