^ It's got nothing to do with any sort of religion, so you can get off your high horse right there. Razz
It's the fact that the man has the balls to name a single "Jesus". Maria is an overdone title and hasn't been scandalous to use in at least 200 years. How often do you see a song entitled "Jesus" on the pop charts? This, of course, excludes the hypocrites in the 'christian music industry' who make money by flaunting their religious beliefs. Razz
It's an ego thing, especially coming from gackt. XD

But that aside, it's just too much if you ask me. I mean, you can't just go and borrow the name of the single most-worshipped deity in the world for what is presumably a non-religious song, without looking silly XD
But Hyde (not L'Arc I believe) has been open about his beliefs and explained his exploration of his faith (Thus an entire album called FAITH) in his music (crap I wish I could remember the interview...). Hurry Xmas has ONE religious line, at the end. It's just an xmas song.
But Gackt? It feels to me like he chose the title on a whim and it will probably be some rock ballad.
P.S. I am an atheist and most religious references are completely lost on me and I don't make those sorts of connections. So until this thread I never once "Maria" or Rebirth had anything to do with religion (Because I've never heard the Virgin Mary called Maria before).

Wow, I've never seen that before o_O I'm not much of a Gackt fan though, so maybe that's why XDMistressyoukai wrote:PureElegance wrote:^ what? XD
