Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mana and Malice Mizer was featured in the March issue of Shojobeat along side the old Dir En Grey, L'arc en ciel, luna sea, and Xjapan!!!

is the issue still on stands? i might be able to pick it up next week.

I don't know which issue I read today, but it had a lot of interviews with Nana Kitade and some gothic lolita stuff...might have been once left over from last month or something?

i have that one. that was february's (bought in january).

Laruku isnt VK


I dont like them associating Laruku with that genre ._.

Obviously gonk

DEG arent VK anymore either
i dislike DEG, but that doesnt mean i dont care when they are categorized wrong ._.;;


edit; and i dont see the point in making articles about bands there are dead either ._.
i know X is getting back together now, but MM has has been on 'hiatus' for so long
this magazine annoys me, and i havent even read it yet~

they spelled malice mizer as "malace mizer" like six times!! D:
they also said that memoire was their first single in 1994 D:
they also made it seem like gackt was the only singer, and that he was the leader, and that malice mizer (malace mizer to them) broke up because gackt left D:

i think someone needs to write a letter to the editor. i would like to scan the whole page and circle the mistakes and give them a history of malice mizer using the particular corrected details they got incorrect. i would also like to point out to them that a lot of otakus are going to think that gackt is tetsu because of the pictures they put in there.

i would also like to point out to them that l'arc has always been j-rock, and that...J-ROCK IS NOT VISUAL KEI, AS THEY SO IGNORANTLY KEPT SAYING IT WAS.

i am ending the rant now before i get much more into it. i was thinking about it for a few hours after i bought the new issue today (well, technically yesterday).

ah, see, but they do not know much about manga either. nor do they know anything about japanese fashions (as they made it apparent in the feb issue). i have vowed to myself not to believe anything they write. they also made Nana sound ghetto...somehow. the characters go, "aye, nobu, what up?" instead of "hi, nobu, how are you?" i have read original scans. they use some slang, but not too much. i hate american translations. i sort of want to get a job there as the modern culture writer so that there are no more mistakes. i would check my information fifty times. i want to educate those otakus, not mislead them >.< but would i really want to surround myself with idiots?
