I'm a really big fan of Mana. But spending months and months, just to learn japanese to understand him? That really stupid!
I mean he should be the one learning English, having so much fans that speak that language! It's more easier. Besides this way he wouldn't have to pay for any translator...

He DOESN'T pay for his translations. The CD Japan ones were done by a friend of the fanclub president's, probably for discount, and everything else has been done by his fans :P

I'm confused. So now that Mon+Amour is no longer affiliated with CDJapan, there are no online English translations? Or maybe I'm interpreting this wrong.

Well, I still think he pays for translations, because I don't think someone would spent his/her time in vain, being a professional,
doing it for free.

For example, on Moi dix mois bonus Cd of Invite to Inmorality, you can see Malice Mizer on some kind of conference with their German fans, and theres a women next to them, that translates.
I was making reference to that too when I said "Besides this way he wouldn't have to pay for any translator..."
