BANDやろうぜ　1998 July Issue scans

I know someone had these cropped out separately on a fan site but thought it would be nice to scan and up in HQ,
plus recently some people on SNS were asking me about the conversation I had with Mana last week about synths he used in MM era
and I did not feel it was 100% ok for me to divulge that info if he did not himself as it was none of the ones hes talked about before.
will go through my stuff and find other magazine to scan ASAP.

As I have used quite a bit of the rack gear listed plus my job is mooziks I made a lil thread on twitter with notes for those wanting to get similar tone:

You should spin this off into a "Racks Of The Stars" thread, I was meaning to do something along those lines but never quite got around to it.
Kozi's done another gear feature more recently in his fanclub issues too.

Also, that hardware sequencer (?) sitting on top of one of Kami's drum stacks amuses me. Those always looked absolutely miserable to use. Wonder if Mana ever backed up the floppies from his.

the whole thread would be, its really not worth it, buy a helix or an axefx and be done with it haha.
sometimes they have their own cool things but not worth it and in a mix + fans not knowing = wankery

ooo he put something out again in new fanclub? what did he feature @v@!?
when I saw them for ziz last year his setup was so simple i was like "ah yah, he dont give a f"ck" haha. simple is best.

drummers mtrs and such can be pretty simple when it just the audio data loaded in but their songs had time sig changes too so *cries in pain* i imagine more so just making that at first was the hellish part T__T no fun!

Like everything. Synth rack, effects, a DAW with an accursed trackball XD



This being from issue 4 of his FC, around 2005ish I think.

Well you said it yourself, he's not doing this kind of elaborate stuff anymore XD I mean these days half the time he plays unplugged, even.
I'm guessing everything in that article is the last gear he ever bought.

Had anyone seen this before? A bit of merch, a photo from Klaha's last known live:

(source: https://www.suruga-ya.jp/product/detail/GG897151)

Looks like it must have been part of the "setsubou" photoshoot, same outfit and posing.

 

[flowersofnight]

Here's a classic from the "Can't Believe This Got Published" department



"My Fantasy: Klaha carrying me over the threshold"

(Klaha's reply: "Why don't you do the carrying?" )

 

[Js_klaus]

I finally got to scan this rare item, first or one of the first pictures ever took of MALICE MIZER, in late 1992.


Original one had some stains that I removed with photoshop
Edit: Can we share again old MM pictures? I lost all of that years ago.

Hey all !!

I got some magazines today, this'll probably be the last batch I order since I don't have much money now ... but the things in these magazines are quite nice so I want to share them (^_^)

(I hope the pictures aren't too big in the thread, I'm still getting used to the new layout)

アーティストfan vol. 2

 

[WUNL]

Continuing ...

お宝ミュージシャン (Otakara Musician) vol. 3


I also got 2 magazines which are too big for my scanner, I'll see if I can find a bigger scanner somewhere to scan them, but I think the most interesting thing is a CD in one magazine . I'll rip it in the following days (hopefully) ... looks promising ?

Although I wonder ... because right next to the CD there is again, a list of what's included in the CD and it seems that it's only Gackt ... hmmm ... but hey, there's Blam Honey !

Here's a little something from that magazine ... (it's called CLaP! btw)



「最近ミックスジュースにこだわっています。 朝起きると、ミキサーで、ニンジンやビーマ ン、後はリンゴにトマトにバナナに・・などな ど･･･味は･･･ま~はっきり言ってマズイって感 じです。 みんなも、真似しないでください。」
"I've been obsessed with mixed juices lately. When I wake up in the morning, I put carrots, peppers, apples, tomatoes, bananas, etc. in the blender... The taste is... well, to be frank, it's not very good. Please don't imitate me."

They had a fanclub event broadcast on TV? Wonder if any copies of that survived.
My favorite of the lot is the picture of Yu~ki and Kami looking TOUGH

Also: use thumbnails XD

I think it's this one .

And yeah, seeing them now the images are huge, sorry about that ...

 

[flowersofnight]

I think it's this one .

That... that was something

By the way, I wonder how many "flyer" auctions on YJ are actually just enlarged scans of this magazine.

I thumbnailed the images for you, at any rate.

Never thought about it, I think it'd be too low quality to be believable, but I wouldn't be surprised honestly

And thank you for the thumbnailing .

What? It's that one with Gackt impersonating Darth Vader
Also starring:
Mana as Cleopatra Bela (Yōkai Ningen Bemu)
Közi as Pete Burns
Kami as Maetel (Galaxy Express 999)

Not sure about Yu-ki u.u

 

[etherealspirits]

Mana was Bela/Bera from Yokai Ningen Bemu. Mana has loved that show forever. That's why the whip. And it's mentioned by the announcer in the video

Uhhhh, that makes more sense, thank you!
