Mana sama - the '99 Nail Queen

[KARITO9797]

0:10 what the fuck is this?? get away form me >.< i despise you ¬¬ banish you to the depths of the abyss!

[titojwonnie]

For lolita fashion Mana-Sama is tall.

[KARITO9797]

@titojwonnie i'm 1.73 too ..and i'm a proud lolita...and i think that he looks pretty awesome...if a person defines his style onlt by the reference of being "tall or small" that's not freedom..

[StrawberryQueen1223]

Uhmm why doesn't he talk exactly.?

[titojwonnie]

@StrawberryQueen1223

If i remember correctly he is portraying himself as a doll so talking would ruin the image. Its an image he maintains for the entertainment world. Also he is shy. He did talk before. =)

[angelnegro21224]

he is a gay guy that`s why he dpn`t talk cuz he have a pines ahahah

[katysweet13]

He aint that tall, 5'8 or so? lol I'm taller than him and I'm a woman but still..

[isabellk2009]

I'm kinda curious, Mana-sama doesn't want to talk or he can't talk?

I'm just asking....

[Dungarth]

@isabellk2009 ..He generally doesn't want to talk to media, Mana is not a very sociable person and has mentioned this in a few written interviews of old (you can google it). He has also mentioned that he does this to retain the mysterious artistry of the band and it's music. And as the years have gone by his anti-social expression has gotten stronger as we can clearly see that Moi Dix Mois are a darker and more gloomier band than Malice Mizer were.

[isabellk2009]

@Dungarth Oh, I see.. Thanks for the information ^^

[XxSadisticWraithxX]

I really dislike when they try to ask him questions and make him talk. UH HELLO! Mana never talks. Stop trying to make him look bad when he doesn't answer you. GRR.

Mana makes most girls look like gorillas. Including me. I envy his beauty! <3 <3

[Shameeka382]

Oj Mana, Mana...jaka szkoda, że się nie odzywasz....ale w sumie to sprawia, że jesteś taki wyjątkowy :)

[EvilChocoKitty]

Mana-Sama is awesome :3 

[xXxKlahaxXx]

Ugghhhh I wish I had nails like that!!!

[manalovesyou]

ok sorry but gackt lied then i have vid thats says mana kicked him off huum ....... wonder why

[manalovesyou]

why thehell dose he not talk

[SlitMouthWoman]

@manalovesyou His music is his voice my friend.

[0neesan]

I read somewhere that he was 19 when he found Malice Micer so now he must be 37?

[cerabella13]

@0neesan thats how old Gackt is...

[0neesan]

@cerabella13 yeah I notice that.. but they can be same age, you know.. it's not impossible!

[494741633]

mana is so sexy.

[UnhappyRc]

im gonna steal mana's dress 0_o

[LiMei1]

Mana doesn't have a myspace,if people are wondering..

[weiyi1123]

how old is he?

[Pixiebabe]

if I had to guess... I would say mana is either in his mid to late 30's?

[alicea5]

meeting him would be good.

that would be a miracle.

[MissTripleXShadowDog]

I take it he doesn't like microphones xD

[Angora307]

Adorable. His style, hair, makeup, posture, silence... its absolutly adorable! O.O

[susabena]

es la mas rara del todo el grupo, no se por que no quiere hablar tendre que investigar mas.

[596608199]

@susabena Rara? Es un hombre._.

[sharonswilliams]

en este video abia cumplido años el :]!. lol~

me desespera que no hable pero buenoo hahah!

[QiAyuzawa]

Mana was so cute when "......" kawaii!!~

[ChibiK1tteN]

at the end reminded me of the Doug or some shit off seinfield..

[punkrockinggirly]

this dnt make sence hes pretty :O i thought he was a girly :OOOOO

[punkrockinggirly]

is mana a boy???

[miyakosama666]

yes of course..

[ChocolateBunnies44]

um..YES.

and no, hes not gay.

[MrEnyoyo]

No he is gay! and there is nothing to fear of these word! because at his myspace he set his orientation as "gay", it's true.

[pythos1]

Mana, in his fan club has stated he dislikes social networking, and does not participate in it.

That profile you speak of is a spoof.

[himexlelouch]

99 ... Im so small back then! *^* ...

I love him ... hehe ... he's one of the former jrocker who manage to crossdress perfectly~

but now jrocker who crossdress is shorter xD

[SaraYuna89]

OMG!!O.O How the hell does he play the guitar with those nails!?!??! I don't like them...they're too excessive! =_="

[DixMadness7]

the traducer is Yuki Itoh? (you know...the manager) sorry for my poor engrish xD

[FreakoChu]

hehe so cute *-* he's like * bows * then .. " WTF THERES A MICRO " xD so kawaii ^3^

[silentwing7]

is he a guy or a girl?

[triplequeen]

Guy.

[KENZOURAMIDESU]

ASSHOLE. *LMAO*

[mirashinku]

Mana-sama... so adorable *o*

[LestatdeLioncourt]

no offence too but that's how he is...

he doesn't talk in public...

his music is his voice...

[lurtz94apa]

he says that "his real voice" comes out of his music :)

[TenshiXXX]

It's not that he can't, it's that he won't. Don't insult his intelligence. Refering to your earlier comment, if anybody is stupid, it's you. You type like a small child. It doesn't take a towering intellect to type coherently.

[pythos1]

:46. Thought bubble

"I said...oh wait.  Just, keep that thing away from me!!"

[Cyssy7]

0:10 He saw the mic and quickly stepped away from it ^_^. And for the next minute when they were interviewing him he kept looking nervous at the mics..He's so cute

[Doraephong]

he stil doesn't say anything .

how can they interview him like that =))

[alicea5]

how come the lady know what to say when mana didn't say anything to her?

[thegnew]

i wish i could understand what theyre saying : /

[TgIiDgUiS]

why doesnt he say anything?? i dont understand the whole not speaking thing?

[radioactivexkitty]

Mana-Sama doesn't talk because he believes that music is his voice =)

[TgIiDgUiS]

oh wow thats deep. pretty freaking cool though!! i respect that =] thanks for informing me!! =] =]

[AGirlNotFromIpanema]

poor mana.he looks so afraid and like hed rather not be there.

[LestatdeLioncourt]

he's sooo hot!!!!!!!

[cobs1130]

guy is of course taller than most girls

[pythos1]

If you freeze the screen when he and the others are visible, it is VERY evident that if all were shoeless, Mana would tower over them all. He is quite tall actually. In the platforms he has a good 8 inches over the others, and the platforms look to be about 4 inches. In short, Mana is quite tall.

Oh, and he rocks.

Oh, and if I could attract as many girls while wearing a dress, I would be a very happy man.

[Equx89]

i think he's 5,7 inches tall whitout the heels and he gets close to 5,11 with the heels maybe

[Epicniche]

@pythos1 He's 173 cm. That's not QUITE TALL at all. It would make more sense if you were talking about K or sth..

[eleone8]

@Epicniche

You know, you have to consider that he's asian.

173 cm IS tall for a japanese man.

[Epicniche]

@eleone8 Yeah, and still Yuki, Kozi, Gackt and plenty of others are taller than him. And let's not talk about Miyavi's height. XD

[fuchz900]

@pythos1 agree !!!!!!!!!

[kiriyamamnemic]

@pythos1 actualy the heel of those shoes give the hieght which if u look are huuge and thats around the same distance between him and the presenters.

mana is tiny he was the smallest in malice mizer and moi dix mois

[sourLoli]

@kiriyamamnemic Mana様 is around 173cm in height ^^;

[FUCKTHEREST92]

@pythos1 Actually he is 173 cm tall.

[FUCKTHEREST92]

@pythos1 Actually, Malice Mizer was quite a tall band for japanese. From shortest to tallest:

Gaz - I don't really know how tall he was but he looked like 1.60-1.65 cm

Tetsu - 1.71 cm

Mana - 1.73 cm

Kozi and Klaha - 1.75 cm

Yu~ki - 1.76 cm

Kami - 1.77 cm

Gackt - 1.80 cm

[Petracurns88]

Mana is so Hot!!! :)_

[xXxLennethxXx]

lol is mana rollin his eyes at 1:44 ?? XD

[thegnew]

i loved that too. lol so awesome

[aManamous1122]

0:22 Mana's interpreter is wearing heels so the juxtaposition of a tall mana and short lady still stands. soooo I point you to my original post of

"wow he is SOOOOo much taller than those women! "

[WiccanThorn26]

wooow that outfit is awesome! and so is Mana ^_^

[aManamous1122]

wow he is SOOOOo much taller than those women!

[Squall1st]

She's on tall shoes.

[aManamous1122]

You mean "He"? And even so, He'd be a good 4" taller.

[gothragdoll]

it the shoes

[aManamous1122]

I'll bet you anything that those women are wearing heeled shoes as well. Not as tall of course, but still enough to add a few inches.

[aManamous1122]

They keep holding the mic up to him like he's gonna say something. XDDDDDD

[GregPollard]

So...no, I have nothing to say. That's a dude.

[IkhoudvanKauwen]

the only thing I DONT like about them.. Those nails *brrr*

[bt6336]

he doesnt like talkin bec he has a manly voice.

[shizuki9]

kyaa mana-sama es genial!!!

[UltimaWeapon08]

FAIL! They look nothing alike.

[217d3]

i was saying that beacuse of the gender confusion that they brought on dipshit .

[UltimaWeapon08]

ugh..okay? I can see how people can mistake Mana for a female, but Marilyn Manson looks nothing like a female. He just looks like a guy with lipstick and makeup, while Mana actually looks like a female.

[DeathsLilButterfly]

why doesn't he talk?

love the Lolita dress though.

[xcherryvanillax]

basically,because he feels that everything he need to say,he says through his songs,so there's no need for him to talk :)

excuse my english

[DeathsLilButterfly]

oh ok thank you

[Orchid899]

I think because he's supposed to be a "doll". Also he doesn't want anyone to hear the man voice. I love his/her outfit though. I wish I could afford to shop at his store, Gothic Lolita.

[DeathsLilButterfly]

yeah i want a Lolita too, i want a punk. gothic, and sweer lolita dress *sigh*

[JrockFTW22]

well if you want a punk goth lolita, mana sama's fashion line isn't for u.

[shortshortdi]

yep hes visual kei! VK ftw

[AddictedtotheDarke]

I'm in the process of making my own. It's taking really long. GAWD!!!

I LOVE MANA-SAMA!!!!<33333333333333

[Orchid899]

Making your own what? Gothic Lolita inspired clothes?

[AddictedtotheDarke]

yup yup. yah. it's really hard. and frustrating. i want to cry but i refuse.i had this dress and it was ugly so i made out to modify it. it was too simple for my tastes and getting everything right is hard. so much math....=(

[Orchid899]

Yes, attention to detail is a must. Good for you for making your own clothes! Mana would be impressed.

[JrockFTW22]

he also doesn't like his voice. it's very manly and a bass voice and he always wanted a tenor to alot sort of voice.

[darkhellspartan975]

that explains y he didnt say anything. was thinking something like that though so i guess i was right

[youarejinxed]

he's so pretty!

[UltimaWeapon08]

Bad influence? Your kidding? Mana is thepure example of someone dressing the way they want to, without caring what anyone else thinks. Thats influential, in my opinion.

[antijelly]

i agree 100 %

everyone should learn from mana

:)

"dressing the way they want to, without caring what anyone else thinks"

[xiia0sh3rr]

hes so cool <3

[Jehenzu112]

Mana <333

He's so cute.

[kamariajo]

*cough* o_o... Uhh

[kamariajo]

Don't kill me for saying this, but why does he always dress as a gothic woman?

[Sneezedoodle]

It's common among Japanese rockers.

[kamariajo]

A little strange to me... sorry but girls find this sexy? o_o (don't mean to offend anyone...)

[shadowsoul121]

yes, yes they do

[InLoveWithMIYAVI]

second that~

oh yes. XD

[MissTripleXShadowDog]

@kamariajo Ha ha, very ;)

[GhostsINtheSnoW]

no it's not.

[GhostsINtheSnoW]

he's actually a transvestite

[shurimara]

Well, it's no exactly a bad thing.

He just dresses hat way because he can...

xD

[UltimaWeapon08]

No, hes a crossdresser. Crossdressing + homosexuality = transvestite. Mana hasn't been proven to be homosexual, so either refer to him as a crossdresser, gothic lolita or Mana.

[GhostsINtheSnoW]

You are an idiot.

Transvestites aren't gay, they just like to wear women's clothes. Look at Eddie Izzard-he's a transvestite, but he's not gay. Crossdresser=transvestite. Sexuality isn't a factor. The only thing that seems to be exclusive to gay people is being a drag queen.

[UltimaWeapon08]

Okay, fair enough, but you still shouldn't considered transvestite. Since most crossdressing males (Such as Mana and Marilyn Manson) do not consider themselves transvestites. They also, do not always in female clothing. Transvestite has many different uses, and be avoied with confusion, if you just use crossdresser.

[GhostsINtheSnoW]

Marilyn Manson isn't a transvestite because he doesn't dress that way outside of band activities, Mana has been seen wearing dresses outside of band activities, which suggests he might be.

It's not my fault if people assume transvestites are gay or if fans get insulted by an observation.

[UltimaWeapon08]

Okay, both those statements are untrue since Manson has been seen wearing his clothing outside of band activities and Mana has been seen, not wearing his lolita clothing, outside of band activities with photographic proof.

People don't "assume" transvestite is gay, because its used as a certain term for it. I also wasn't offended. I'm not a butthurt fantard of Mana but I was merely correcting you, so you don't make a mistake like that again.

[UltimaWeapon08]

and? If your friend wants to crossdress, then so be it.

[JrockFTW22]

so?

[xcherryvanillax]

transvestites ARE gay.

crossdressers are not.

transvestites dress like women all the time,crossdressers do only for fun,or other 'special' reasons.

(excuse my english)

[GhostsINtheSnoW]

No, they re not. Transvestites are not gay. Some might be, others are not. Transvestites don't even dress in women's clothes all the time, just when they want to. Again, Eddie Izzard-transvestite,not gay, doesn't always wear the make up and women's clothes.

[xcherryvanillax]

ok,i've just searched for the meaning on english wikipedia and you are right.

i'm italian,in out language we use it with a slight different meaning.

what you call a transvestite,i call a cross-dresser,not always gay,dress in woman's clothes when they want etc :)

ok,all right,sry xD

[gacktsgirlalwayz1]

mana is so cool and is an amazing guitarist

[cynstrava]

lol..

damn poor mana-sama.. they are annoying him :S

i love mana-sama

[ihatetokiohotel678]

mana is nice

[kanamesenpaixxx]

lmao, mana's so awesome.

[SaoidohX]

He has also been known to simply look at the camera as subtitles appear, as well as using Yes/No cards and expressing himself in mime. According to him, this is because he considers his music to be his voice, and to speak for him

[MishMcGrim]

lol you got that from wikapedia XDD

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Actually, if you do some more reading up on Mana-sama, you'll find that the idea that Mana sees his music as his voice....actually came from a coworker of his--I forget if it had been a manager or what... But we dont know for certain WHY Mana-sama does not speak...

...too many rumors proliferating to actually have a decent clue. :3

[IamaGacktDear]

Mana-sama kawai!

[KaoxTot]

lmao i cant believe i've never seen this before. He does have some beautiful nail art so i'm not all that surprised.

[distorteddestiny754]

why doesnt the person in the dress talk??? does she have a voice???

[NyappyPuKi]

Mana-sama doesn't talk ^_^

his music is his voice~~

also he's a guy ^___^

[RoseMilord]

lol, was that a kind of... nail fastival?

[aretimisicefire]

lol hes soo cute

this makes me wonder why he doesnt talk though

[xoxAlzixox]

He doesn't like to speak as he beleives his music to speak for him, and therefore he has no need to voice his words out loud to everyone.

I absolutely adore this man!

[ChiyoNoYaoi]

aaaaah how cute <3

every time the woman hold the mic to him, he's like: "i don't like to speak..." *hold it again to him* "i DON'T like to speak!" and turns away XD

i like his nails ^^~

[yumilovesmiyavi]

i like how he does that cute little turn to her like hes saying "u no what to say..."

[bloodriverSHINING]

how does Mana play the guitar with those nails? I was just wondering.

[WaterPrincess45]

He doesn't play with them actually on. I believe those nails were just meant for this particular event. ^^

[bloodriverSHINING]

oh, okay. but since it's a nail queen pageant, I think those nails are real.....

Is it?

[WaterPrincess45]

I'm thinking they're fake, or a part of them is real. I mean the design is obviously done-up, but thanks to the coloring going so far down his fingers it's hard to tell if the nails are real or fake. =/

(Since the tips are squared off some people would say they're automatically, but it's also possible to file your real nails into that same exact shape too...)

[bloodriverSHINING]

... oh who cares about it now. let's just watch gorgeous Mana and her Gorgeous fake or real nails.

[hatedolls]

mana is a man!!! a dude!!! with make-up and nails!!! kawaii!!

[bloodriverSHINING]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooopp­pppppppsssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why the FUCK did I write her? god damnit! something is wrong with me!!!!!!!!! oh no, Aliens are invading my mind!!!!!!!!!

someone help me please.....cause I called Mana a her.......when he's a guy...... I am so sorry Mana-sama T_T

[hatedolls]

i think mana-san is an okama. but a very cute one at that!

[yumilovesmiyavi]

thats really offensive! i hope u actually no what okama means???!

[hatedolls]

you should look it up in wiki or in jap eng dictionary. but ill benice and give you the meaning cross dresser. i dont have any bones to pick with anyone but i do think he is an awesome okama! duh!

[yumilovesmiyavi]

i dont need to look it up ive studied japanese for 6 years! i no it fluently incliding japanese slang! and okama actually is slang for fag so u go learn the actually meaning and dont correct someone who actually nos the language im not trying to pick a fight but hey when someone calls the guy i idolize a fag a het a little pissed off

[hatedolls]

yea i no. im studying it right now.

[yumilovesmiyavi]

then u should no it just dosent mean cross dresser

ur obviously learing the nice japanese what u need to learn is slang since thats the kind of japanese thats actually used in japan...

[hatedolls]

tanx for the advice. and im sorry for calling mana an okama.

[skelatorianfreak]

HIS nails

[diruguy01]

wow,mana is all like,"damn,get the fuck away from me...."

[xXNecroDollyXx]

hes a doll . . . . just like me

[Battie]

lol Mana definitely knows how to get out of interviews. XD lol I love that man!! XD

[yumilovesmiyavi]

omg i love mana!!! he looks so beautiful! im not usually really into this extreme feminine look but mana pulls it off soooo well i made an exception for him! very adorable!

much love mana chan!<3

[Miyavisgirl1540]

do u see the look on mana-samas face when he spots the mic??? its so funny! hes like saying in his mind: "your not expecting me to speak into that are you?"

[tehlucker]

mana is such a fantastic charakter in this band, so sad they disbanded

[ForestBalrog]

Oh he's adorable.

I wonder how the girl with him knows what he wants her to say? =S He's like magic. Or she is for understanding...

[darkshadowsqueen]

they're probably told the questions before hand and Mana tells her the answers backstage thats why she knows what to say

[ForestBalrog]

Oh I never thought of that ^^

[yamiabunai]

mana is telepath, and looks like a giant next to those other girls

[jaslee2003]

man mana is so cute i just want to run up to him and hug him

[xXxKandiVampirexXx]

....his translator reminds me of that designer lady off of The Incredibles...

Moze....maybe

idk X3 her name slipped my mind.

[vampireangie]

Mana is so lovelly
