...and how do you know this...? 
He doesn't, unless he had some intricate connection with Kazuno; the translation of the blurb mentions nothing about the pictures being from a previous band, nor are there any random captions. Unless I'm missing something. All Kazuno says in regards to the pictures on the page is that the top one was him when his hair was dyed red. And the singer in question is half in shadow in a very small photo. All I'm seeing is a Japanese nose and mouth. It could be from an earlier gig of M10M for all we know; they didn't always wear all-black Moite and dix out their hair.
I think the Dix'd out hair has always been that way. I've never, ever seen anything other than that hair in the older photoshoots/tour pamphlets/booklets/promo images of MDM, and only recently did non-Dix'd hair start coming around. The earliest image I can remember of MDM was either just before or just after Mana's website opened, and their hair was up in the air then. ^^
I have several pictures saved of early Kazuno with flatter hair, and images from some random live where Mana was in pigtails and a lolita dress and Kazuno has a white EGA short on. Given the small size and bad lighting of the M+A picture in question, I'm not quite ready to rule out the possibility of it being from an early M10M live. Really, it could be from anywhere.
hmm...i could have sworn i read that that was from one of his previous bands. i doubt that vocalist is Juka. it looks nothing like him...
Is it actually worth it to join the fanclub? Considering I can't actually get to Japan to go to any of the members only events? I've been debating it, but I was just wondering what people who actually are members say about it.
I think so. If you break it down, the standard membership (including Admission fee) is a scant ~417yen a month, and the platinum (with admission fee) is ~1,083yen a month. It's really not that bad. I think a standard membership should be a no-brainer for any fan—a full CD is ~3,000+yen plus shipping! Membership is not much more, and it lasts a whole year. The interviews are ALWAYS awesome to read. I have never been disappointed in them. And if you've got the money to spare...I think the Platinum membership is worth it too. I'm a Platinum member, and I adore the Madoushos. The only thing I'm kinda bummed about is that M:N never owned up to the promise of original gifts every few months for Platinum members, and so far the only content on the fanclub site is the translations. (Streaming contents, videos, and such were promised.) Still, I think maybe with them moving to their own server they might put more things up now.
Preordering rights are always awesome. ^_^ And, well...as far as the concert ticket thing goes, I never thought such a benefit would come in handy for me either, being in the USA, but I was lucky enough to go to Munich for the EuroTour and I'll tell you flat out--I was first row. And that would NOT have happened without my fanclub privileges. So for me, it was totally and completely worth it to be so close to the band during the only m10m live I might ever be able to attend. <3
So I guess it really depends how much you love the band and how much money you have to burn, as far as Platinum goes, but Standard? Yeah—go for it! I have fallen in love with the band so much more being able to read the interviews. I feel I better understand Mana's vision and I feel much closer to the guys in general. You'd be amazed how funny, cute, silly, and downright weird they are. <3 Especially since they don't get much screentime in public interviews...I feel like anyone not a fanclub member is REALLY missing out on them--both the project member's personalities and Mana's hidden silliness. ;] What a lovable dork.

I am totally thinking of becoming a member.
Though I have a feeling that all the really interesting stuff has already been told in the earlier interviews and now there's just boring stuff that no ones cares about, hehe (that is probably not true though).
Could someone give an example or so of things you might find out from the interviews? Not exactly what one member has said cause I know that's not allowed but... what the topics has been or something
(They should make it possible to buy old copies of Madousho)

...yogurt.
Just random things pretty much, about their everyday lives. Along with information about upcoming events and releases and personal opinions from each member regarding those things.

LOL @ Yogurt XP He's so silly.
They also talk about Live shows a lot, and there was heaps of stuff concerning the European tour. Mana also occassionally writes interesting little monologues concerning various things like musical influences and... other stuff.
I HIGHLY recommend joining, and if you can, becoming a platinum member, if for no other reason than to get the folder. It's so cute *_* Navate said pretty much everything, though.

You can read all the old translations on the site, too. :] Even then, you'll know what's been said.MMike wrote:I am totally thinking of becoming a member.

They talk about new releases and events, and if there are no releases to talk about they just banter about silly things (or start off with a real topic, and get very sidetracked.) Conversation also delves into such topics as why Tohru is NOT FAT, exploding mystery orange juice, airplane rides equalling hangovers for some and screaming from others, bathroom confusion, the color pink, evil birds...yogurt. XD
to sum up it's like an MSN conversation between 5 (..or 4 <.<; ) silly people who has nothing better to talk about? XD
that's every euro worth it.. I need money.

hmm...i was wondering if anyone got their madousho 31? >_<

Not yet. No notification that it's even been shipped yet. It's really odd that the translation went up weeks ago, before the issue's even shipped.
Haha, okay, thanks everyone, it sounds great so I'll most likley join as soon as I can.
Okay, that's great. Then I'll definitely join.

I think they put the translations for June and July up early because they explain a lot of things about the live DVD.Illaparatzo-sama wrote:
