Malice Mizer Picture Topic

Does this bother you too?

I'm not some sort of art-hating homophobe. I just don't think the Mana-Kozi photoshoot is art. I think it's pandering.

Playing the part of a married/romantic couple to convey a story or artistic concept is one thing (actually, it's cool), but advertising themselves as having a cute schoolyard crush is completely different (i.e., not-so-cool). It's simply a subtle breed of fanservice, and it has an air of disrespect to me. Honestly though, continuing this discussion is giving a disproportionate amount of attention to me, because I really don't think it's a very big deal. I was just voicing my discontent with that particular photoshoot.

Oh, no, I never meant to imply that! I was only curious as to why you found the one shoot so disrespectable when I'm having trouble separating it from any of the other themes they've done (artistic and artless alike). Still don't see what the difference, but I'll stop interrogating you.

i think the pic is cute O.o

I love Malice Mizer interaction 8D
Just to see it's not all business but also true friendship (I don't know, I love 'true' friendship between other people, but when it's with me I don't care xD)
I mean, one could say Mana and Gackt only have that 'fanservice relation'. But I think some pics say otherwise. Like these:

Those pics don't scream FANSERVICE but just, comfortable friendship. To me then. Sooo... Onto the pics again everyone~

@Es-Chan: that first one is unbelievabley cute. they look like they were such good friends.

i don't think they are friends anymore. thats just the feeling i get.

keep the pictures coming

i love mmphotos.

 

[evespikey]

wow, those are really cool pictures. Especially the ones of them sitting at the tables.

 

[Es-chan]

It's Gackt all mighty ôO

I have been looking for a Gackt pic from this same shoot. Or no, it was some pic where he was standing outside if I remember correctly, I lost it. (he did wear the bel air costume)

@Es-Chan
o.o ... <.< I am not so sure about that...I mean, it's just some flattery, halfways see through...fabric..I don't imagine him to wear nothing expect than that ^^

Aww~ <3 The smile Gackt has on his face in those GacktxMana pictures is sweet. =^.^=
Does Mana poke Gackts stomach with his...uhm...how to call that...(drum)stick thing? Oo ^^


And again, thanks for all those pictures!

 

[Kyuketsuki]

Bel air~~~! Gackt was really gorgeous in that PV. Never say the man doesn't have brilliant eyes. xD

Anyway (XD) thanks again for all the pictures, guys!

PS: why'd that other one of gackt and mana get edited? o.o

Haha, I just put the pics next to each other so they wouldn't take so much space on the topic ^^;; And indeed, Gackt was gorgeous in Bel Air ~

@ Lardeen
I wasn't serious when I said I thought Mana was wearing nothing underneath it ^_~ Ofcourse he at least wears something underneath it.

Btw... It's a ... Tambourine stick?

 

[Kyuketsuki]

^ I believe it's just a tambourine. XD There's different shapes for them, but it's all the same. ^.^

About the pics, I see now- I don't think the other one loaded in time or something. XD thanks! ^^

 

[Lardeen]

@Es-chan
I am quite sure that he wears this something under it ^^
But I also would have said the he wears more than just...underwear <.< Though I wasn't/am not sure about this, because his body shape is different to what it is with clothes...that somehow popped in my eyes and yes...I make my thoughts about that ^^'

YES! That's how it is called! *laugh* Thanks ^-^
*pokepoke* ^^ I like poking people! I would like to poke Gackts stomach with such a Tambourine stick and then see his expression *hihi*

some ppl saY that Gackt and mana werent really good friends and close like they do in the pic but I think the same as you that they had a good frienship it would be nice if they still be friends anyway we dont know wahts going on with them so maybe they still friends or maybe not or maybe they had never been friends the only ones that know this are mana and gackt anyway both look so beautiful and cute in that pic

 

[Es-chan]

@ Kyuketsuki
Ja, photobucket was being evil yesterday

@ Lardeen
I don't really care about what Mana's is wearing underneath the cloth actually xD It's just beautiful how he looks with it.

(Gackt would slap you btw xDD) But if Mana does it he would get ... giggly ôO (as seen on the pic)

XD No, they were asking that you please don't write in run-on sentences and use punctuation. It's a little hard on the eyes when one has to read it.

 

[Es-chan]

Oh I found the pic of which I was talking about when posting the Bel Air pics... Only in (a beautiful) fanart version:

Does someone have the original?

 

[SuomiGoth]

Am I the only one who noticed that on those pics of Yu~ki, where he's in the park with the dog (I thought he didn't have pets btw), he's wearing those high heeled fetish boots :p Appearantly he even wears them when fooling around with his dog in the park Thanks for the pics btw, I had never seen them and since I'm such a sucker for Yu~ki, I'm very happy with them *love*

BTW I also don't see what's so shocking about those pics. Even if those 'loving glances' weren't acted but real *tries to hold yaoi-heart inside* I don't think it's that disturbing. After all they have been friends for so many years and a person does love it's real friends. I love mine to smithens (girls and guys), that doesn't immediately mean I do other stuff with them too once the lights go out. What I find disturbing is seeing Közi in a baseball-outfit *laughs*

What fetish boots? Those are (pretty normal) platform boots...
