Mana interview - Kogaru #22, July/Aug 2006

Would you like to play with a European artist or band? If so, who?
Mana: I know that the band Anorexia Nervosa came to see our first concert and I appreciate their music, so that could be an interesting project.


The guy was really impressed by MDM and Mana (he also had a meet n greet with Mana). It's pretty cool when a band like that from the ''angry agressive manly metal world'' shows apreciation for a less ''manly angry metal'' band and character
(the metal world really look sdown upon the j-rock and gothic world)

Sadly Anorexia Nervosa disbanded
I think that if Mana worked with these guys something really grand and epic coudl come out, even if it only was one song.

The guy (Rose Hreidmarr) is now in The CNK. I quite like them, nice and crazy.

If I remember correctly, they met again when M10M played in Paris in 2007 and went to see London After Midnight together.

...whoa that music is crap compared to AN :\ (imho ;p)

 

[Geisha]

I like it much better than AN...but it's all a matter of taste.

I think so too, I loved AN , I was so sad when they disbanded, for me the best was DrudenHaus, I think that is what approche the best Mana's universe!

that's exactly what i was thinking!
Tracks like Enter The Church Of Fornicatio could have been speed up MDM tracks (in a way)

Yeah that's why i quickly added ''(IMHO)" to my post

Thanks for the translation, Flowers! You rock!

- On the internet, the #1 obsession of Mana fans is finding no-makeup and candid photos, does that amuse you? What do you think of it?
Mana: (laughs) I had no idea! (he thinks) It pleases me, but I think it would be preferable if they would take an interest in Mana the musician and leader of Moi dix Mois, rather than the image of the person you see right now sitting in front of you!

How about releasing the album already? The fans would care about it more!

 

[Dix_Madness]

wow, thank a lot for this!!

very near PV...yeah rigth

and I agree with this:

- Throughout your career you've always liked the religious aesthetic: crosses, cathedrals, altars. What inspires you about this Catholic world?
Mana: I've always been partial to that aesthetic. It's certainly nothing to do with religion, as I'm an atheist. But all the stories of angels and demons particularly touch me. The first time I came to France, I was even more impressed by the art of the churches; it was magnificent.

except the "atheist"

 

[Kitten]

no, you guys are all forgetting: Mana IS a religion! ::kisaki::

Mhm canny yea? I would suspect Mana is haha.
