Mana Interview on Tracks (ARTE) ~ 4.20.06

[msjrockqueen2011]

All it needs now is English subtitles. haha My German's even rustier than my Japanese! I maybe understood only about 3 words out of that whole interview. XD

[opencunt]

hahah why im laughing

[o0YukiChan0o]

ähm... Ich sag lieber nichts mehr zu Arte Reportagen -.-'

[Born2Rock1987]

wenn schon mana-sama is klar! aber komm, es ist doch so, dass die leute dich nur nach deinem aussehen bewerten und einordnen. das einordnen ist ja eh das allerschlimmste! menschen sind individuell, so wie schneeflocken. keine gleicht der anderen. nur weils auf den ersten blick bloß weiße flocken sind, heißt das nicht dass sie alle gleich sind. so ist das auch mit menschen....... fertig, aus.

[isethoriginal]

@Born2Rock1987 Aber gerade WEIL so viele spinner die Leute dem Aussehen nach einordnen gibt es Künstler wie Mana-sama, die mit ihrem eigenen Stil aus der Reihe tanzen. Und was erwartet man von Interviews mit Leuten die keine Ahnung haben wen sie da eigentlich was fragen? Kann nur so enden...

[KuroNaoki]

lmao XD Das ist es was Mana sagt. XDD haah Mana ist Gott... xD Mana-san... es heißt Mana-sama.

[FreshKonan]

Ich flüster der dummen Sprecherin gleich auch mal was -.-"



[RacheEngel1995]

@FreshKonan ja, ein großes geheimnis. :D nämlich, dass sie einfach dumm ist. :D

[RacheEngel1995]

also ich dachte ja, "malice mizer" spricht man minimal anders aus. o:

und j-pop?! what the...?! ach, egal.

WIR LIEBEN DICH, MANA-SAMA!! ... und starren dämliche interviewerinnen böse an.

[pechvogel2006]

oh mein gott was labern die da?

satanszeichen??? O_o

[Muffindustrial]

'das ist es, was mana sagt'

zu geil <3

[VideoGameSpeed]

0:30 Did she just say "Jpop"?

[searcher1943]

totally bad at first look

[R83145]

Sie hat "Mana-san" gesagt! Frevel! Frevel! XD

[LovelyDray]

he whispers like a second but actually saying something for minutes x3 I love Mana but that wasn't perfect xD

[Nepit1]

O.o wtf????? "...und mischt klassik mit Metal udn J-pop" O.o wo is da bitte J-pop drinnen? diese interview is echt schrott, die kennen sich gar nicht aus

[xXRavennaXx]

Welches große Geheimnis wird er uns flüstern..?

ne eh :'DD

[ManicPanicX]

they said that they both would know the guy who applies marilyn mansons make up^^

[PredictableClown71]

did they compare marilyn manson and moi dix mois?

[mrcrepsly]

yeah...theyre fucking crazy

[justaskin1]

k does look a little like marilyn, but the music is TOTALLY different

[thfanallthway]

are they german?

[sleePingDoll]

yess ^^

[thfanallthway]

ok thank you so very much!:)

[SatsukiSan77]

[thfanallthway]

oh cool!

[ShizukaNaKoe]

Das ist es was Mana sagt.

[marilyn1230]

Mana has rarely intentionally smiled or spoken in public

BUT WOOOOOO GO ANTI GRAVITY HAIR

[IHeartJrockers]

thanks for the download!! <33 what phit hair they have xD

[grace317]

he accidentally spoke once in an interview... in 1996. (by hot wave, if you're interested.)

it makes my heart bleed that mana, the very inspiration for the gothic lolita wave-had his dreams ended when malice mizer disbanded...

[Yunuyei]

yeah,he never speaks,because he thinks his voice doesn#t fit with his appearence

[Zjgu]

Devil's sign and baking orgies, ruching and evil gaze, maybe that's why the characterisation of the perfect gothic-lolita is even difficult to her creator.

K: "That's the question of my life. That's what Mana says."

And thus, Mana tramps back in his own universe of bigger secrets and smaller gestures without whispering too much. Sayonara, Mana-san. <-- That's it. ^^

[Zjgu]

K: "I once heard a French-Pop song by Mylène Farmer. The sound of the French language fascinated me. I've been interested in the French culture ever since. That's what Mana says."

Unexpected things hide behind this cult. No field reports of black masses for instance work a circuit, no, in Japan, there are gothic-lolita bibles containing sartorial cut patterns and recipes of cakes with icing sugar crosses. Mana and his fans don't let themselves get pinpointed.

[Zjgu]

And these clothes are selling well. There are 'school-girl-lolitas' with a kilt and stockings, 'sweet-lolitas' with ruching and 'elegant-gothic-lolitas' with a corset in Victorian style. All looks combine virginity and darkness. The fingers splayed to the Satan's sign with a cute smile on the face. Mana's longing for beauty is especially achieved by one country.

[Zjgu]

K: "In '99, I opened the fashion store 'Moi-même-Moitié' with clothes for gothic-lolitas. Since there hadn't been anything combining something cute with something dark at that time, I exactly did that. Besides, I don't like short-lived trends. My designs are for people thinking the same way. That's what Mana says."

[Zjgu]

Despite Tommy Lee, Mana became neither hair-metaler nor drummer, but guitarist and head of the Japanese cult band 'Malice Mizer'. The fans love the heavy sound and the dollish appearance of the musicians. In his solo project 'Moi Dix Mois', control freak Mana carries artificiality, gothic-lolita-look and elegant poses to the extremes. Everything has to be perfect. Therefore, he preferably produces the clothes himself.

[Zjgu]

Both seem to know the make-up artist of Marilyn Manson. What big secret is he going to whisper us?

K (instead of Mana): "As a teenager, I used to be a fan of Mötley Crüe. They attracted my attention in a magazine due to their extreme style. I really liked Tommy Lee, therefore I definitely wanted drums and my parents actually bought me some. That's what Mana says."

[Zjgu]

However, did our author really know what she was going to get involved with this time?

Today, we're going to open the door to a mysterious world. We meet up with Mana, the man that never talks. Little quirks are good for business -- Mana's got more than one. He invented the gothic-lolita-look, combines Metal with Classic and J-Pop and connects big shoes with big play. Mana whispers -- his medium answers.

[Zjgu]

Great interview. ^^ I saw it on Arte the day it was broadcasted. And since you poor guys don't speak German, I tried to translate it for you. Temporarily, it was pretty hard, because there were some phrases I didn't know any English equivalent to, but I tried my best, so I guess you should be able to understand it anyway.^^

In general, the appointed days for the 'interview of the week' are always favoured in the 'Tracks' editorial office. (fucking 500 characters limit -_-)

[Hanoi86]

I think he should speak himself, not only whisper -_-

[FerdinandMarcos007]

heheh..you know Mana, he rarely speaks only whispers ^^

[DragonSagoth]

My cousin lives in Germany so she could translate this for me :D I'll post a translation... one day when I make contact with her (we don't see each other very often ^^')

[edgaredbc]

Mana Sama ojala y algun dia vinieran a mexico

Moi Dix mois seria una gran noticia

[kittylicious87]

i love the german language! it sounds so cool! mana looks really wow! and the music is funny when it goes on him:D

[Arvata]

Mana is so scary! ><

[Klaha1Mana]

me encanto este video y mana sama se ve muy bonito

[Ayako87]

Die Sprüche von der Moderatorin sind ja mal so was von mega peinlich. Argh...gibt es eigentlich keine vernünftigen Berichte im Fern T.T Naja, er ist immer noch der beste von den, die ich bis jetzt so gefunden hab...

[stoned4life]

Mana scares the shizzit outta me!!!! lol...i love his outfit in the interview! the music that plays wenever its on Mana is so haunting!! lol

[Majiwaru]

WHAT SONG WHEN THE CLIP RUNNED FOR 03:02?????????????????????????­??????????????????

[SuperhumanChichi]

err that's German? It sounds like French to me...

[samboguitar]

this is fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[asmhaxor]

Buy your tickets at PlaJapan.com (http://plajapan.com/) and visit NoFuture.biz (http://nofuture.biz/) for more information!

Don't miss it!

[tibib]

I dislike how the translater was covering up K's nice sounding Japanese voice with his ugly German voice.

And Seth's Hair is AMAZING! And Mana ROCKS!

[FoxyLillith]

Electraz When you said they were comparing K with MM I think they were saying that they know the same Make up Artist ^^;

[sheeplady]

This is great, wish I knew German...

Is there any way I can download this plz???

xx

[LimozeenMan]

I wish someone would load the the footage shown in Japan a week ago... suppoisly it has better clips from the concerts.

[EvrBluC]

i wish i knew german aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkk

loved the vid, loved mana

[HotaruMuramasa]

Awesome. Moi dix Mois rules!!!

[fallenangel1971]

Thanks so much!! Can anyone translate please..what they said... i understood the part about motley crue... but what after that?? ;__;

[basje00]

eh, something about his fascination with France, 'Mana the man that never speaks', a bit of generic info on egl and moi meme moitie, and how it mixes gothyness and cuteness, mana the controlfreak, moi dix mois etc. And that's kinda all. And after every bit that is dubbed over they end with 'and that is what mana says' XD

[LordZwiebel]

Einfach nur LECKER das Interview!

"Die beiden scheinen den Visagisten von Marilyn Manson zu kennen."

Am Arsch! Mana hat den perfektionierten Gothic Lolita Style, den er nebenbei sogar noch entworfen hat! Was hat Marilyn Manson dagegen? N paar Klagen wegen sexueller Belästigung ^^

Naja, sonst seeeehr genial das Interview!

Das ist es, was Mana sagt.

[XianSama]

OMG! *heart attack*

Both Mana and K...they were impressive...

[meeepy]

backorgien? *lol*

nya, ich bin auch nicht besonders begeistert...

[Giru]

Shit, ich hasse es... Satans Zeichen? Orgien? Manson? Bah

It really pisses me off that they say these kinds of things... Seriously, how ignorant... The Manson comment was just the tip of the fucking iceberg. You DO NOT compare Mana-sama, Mana-sama's makeup or ANYTHING M10M to that Shock Rocker...

[vivexlexlolita]

I thought it was actually kind of funny. >.>;

[electraz]

I think they compared Marilyn with K. <.<;;

K has said that Marilyn Manson is/was his idol once time or so? o: Or am I wrong?

And he looks a bit like him to. xD

But I loved the video. But it surprices me that Mana didn't talk so near his ear... o:

[PatroclusLover]

@Giru Actually visual kei's originally based on glam, post-punk & goth American & European aesthetics, so it's more than correct to compare them, especially if both compared with each other musicians have heavy sound & dark attutude. ;)

[Giru]

Thanks as always for uploading this. YAY, first rate and comment.

I LOVE YOU vivexlexlolita !!!!
