His normal 'casual' attire of black hat, dark sunglasses and dark clothes with his hair down.
How you expect to be a Japanese transvestite in a hat and sunglasses indoors and not merit attention is still beyond me haha...

Obviously, I don't know what he (or his interpreter) said to them but going by what happened in the shop it doesn't sound like he was asking them to make sure that there were fans waiting for him - quite the opposite. Poor Mana - maybe he was being naive or he didn't make it clear enough but I'm pretty sure that he didn't expect them to tell everybody in the shop that he was on his way.amasanin wrote:

I don't know exactly but probably someting very similar to what he was wearing at Neotokyo – it seems to be his 'incognito' uniform.Eresjkigal wrote:
Very true! Maybe it just feels really unremarkable and dressed down to him because he is so used to being *very* dressed up all the time?amasanin wrote:

yes apparently^^...he's wearing it on pictures in mon+amour issues too^^;

but I think since yesterday he'll take more care more about not getting recognised

Ah...I thought it was an official event..that he went there *especially* to have an autograph session, that's why I wondered why he didn't announce it ^^;
But yeah..poor Mana...actually it's about time he should *change* his incognito uniform I mean, one of the most frequently asked questions of fans is how he looks without make-up, and then everybody finds that famous pic of him with the long black hair, black hat and sunglasses...so by now..I think *everyone* knows how he looks like in plain clothing 
He's simply totally *not* hiding his identity with those clothes anymore ^^; the only thing still hidden are his Japanese eyes

not really, in some pics you can see his "real" eyes if you take a good look.
Poor Mana... he must think too lowly of himself that he won't be recognised without make-up around the world!
He really needs a new disguse! Maybe a fat-suit is in order... no-one would expect to see a 400-pound Mana prancing aroundXDDD

Imagen mana in 400 pounds! *ugly*
But he really must change his incognito "uniform" mey he should wear a wig!
But pity that I wasn't at NT I live only 3 1/2 houres away XD.

Unshaved? Blasphemy! The glory of Mana-sama is impervious to a five-o'clock shadow!Geisha wrote:
That's so funny and cool yet really akward and random. He should wear bright green parachute pants, flipflops, a biker jacket and a baseball cap. That'll throw 'em.
Yes I knowEresjkigal wrote:
I meant it like in "The *only* thing that incognito costume is good for from now on, is that people can't look into his(with their Japanese shape/lack of eyelashes ánd read his emotions) eyes. So, the sunglasses are the only things which have *some* effect.Also, yes! Mana indeed isn't exactly full of himself
He said that (at the Japan Expo event) he thought nobody would want to shake hands with him and that he would be left all alone ^^
That incognito uniform is becoming somewhat iconic, isn't it? Mana - JRock's answer to Greta Garbo!Pessimiste wrote:

It's because he's quiet, a perfectionist, doesn't like people, and has an outwardly cold emotional face--while doing what he does extremely well. -__- I'm much the same, and people who don't know me well think I'm arrogant. It's a shame they can't differentiate between being uncomfortable and trying to hide it (through being cold and not speaking) from being full of myself. I hate confronted about my artisitc ability by people, no matter how much they want to praise me, so I shy away from the subject and brush off the compliments. I guess it's easy to understand how people would percieve that as arrogant, but... well. It's not very fair. :?Geisha wrote:Yes - strange that so many people seem to think of him as arrogant.Pessimiste wrote:Also, yes! Mana indeed isn't exactly full of himself

There's also a few pictures of him in the exact same outfit, except he has blonde hair, remember.
Poor Mana, it must have been very surprising to receive that reaction. ^^;; Though I think that kind of contact with fans is very good; he gets to know them more, and realizes just how many fans he has. He must have been so embarassed, being seen without any make up. XD
And Emiru, that picture is GOLD. >D

Unfortunately lots of people judge the book by it's cover...
it's a natural habit of human beings to be repelled by ones who don't smile. If we see someone not smiling, we automatically get the feeling that he or she cannot be trusted.
I must admit that I sometimes get that feeling of Mana having an enormous ego aswell...^^; I know he isn't like that..but those things he does...like him appearing twice in one picture, ignoring Kazuno during interviews, not laughing when people make jokes when talking to him etc. (Him always sitting on a throne while Juka and Kazuno have to stand next to him, yes he's the band leader..but still....) doesn't help very much...
But I think he's not very much aware of that, and that he, because of his shy personality, actually can't help it. <--Which makes him even more cuter

.Yes - ironic, isn't it?navate wrote:
It must be difficult trying to assert yourself in a competitive business such as the music industry when you are a shy person. The fact that he doesn't speak probably invites misunderstandings as well. Sure, he gives interviews to magazines but seeing something in writing isn't the same as hearing and seeing him actually say it. The internet, where flame wars can erupt from a perfectly innocent post that gets misinterpreted, is a good example of that.Pessimiste wrote:
yeah that's true, if you don't talk to a person directly a part of the information gets lost. the way the voice sounds can be very important, and "the eyes are a mirror to the soul" too. actually i never thought of mana being arrogant, and how can we know what he's like if we don't know him personally? perhaps the mana we see is just a small part of him, he could have many different sides (or not).
