I'm kind of wondering once again why japanese acts never go to Oceania though..

Not economically viable. A (now) brother-in-law brought out Eve of Destiny and I think 2 nights out of 3 were quiet. Orochi (who have just been through europe) never really got anywhere. Friend had some nordic group, Sydney didn't turn up (boo, they suck anyway, being new welsh and all), and Melbourne (huzzah) covered itself.

Locally pubs are for drinking and fights afterwards, or cover bands and fights during. ::weepy::

Hot blooded folks you've got over there!

For EoD I'm always just thinking that the gothic scene might be pretty small in Australia, cause on the other hand the VK-following and other japaneseries seem to stand well over there.
It's too bad in all cases :/

So the Far West is not dead altogether?

I agree completely. Mana will never be that attractive.
Happily, there's no accounting for taste !
At the risk of receiving tomatoes (:P ), I'd repeat that I never found Gackt attractive. Really, I wonder how people can be so attracted by him, seeing how he is on a scene XD Maybe and probably he is really sympathetic in private and with his friends ^^ I don't discuss that fact ^^ But what he shows about him when he is on a scene doesn't attract me at all. But after all, good for him if he attracts so much fans, he ^^ But really, it makes me,each time, have a little smile.

Compared to that, I think Mana is really attractive. Not in the meaning of pleasant (I never care about physical appearance) but he makes a total attraction on me. It's like a bond, a connection that he makes with his music. And sometimes, I feel really angry against him and I think about him "I hate you ! Let me free". (And I won't say in public all I think about him at those moments :lol: ) Because it's against my own personality to be kept like that. But anything I do is useless. I think it's something that I have to accept and to assume.

That's why I think Mana is really attractive and Gackt not.
But like I said, tastes ...

And now, I look as more fool than before but I don't care ! :lol:

Well, we can only make educated guesses about Gackt's character, but purely from a physical perspective I never found him attractive either. Not that I think he's unattractive; he just looks totally unremarkable to me. Even my mum was disappointed when she saw his photo after being wowed by his voice on Merveilles.

Wrong. Gackt is a terrible person who advocates dog fighting and funds international terrorism and espionage.

Why did I see that as baby rapper. It wouldn't make sense whatsoever.. huh.

Honestly I think gackt is physically a beautiful man. Especially was. He went overboard with the jaw redefining.
But you know, a person who looks like a game character came to life, I can't hate on that. That's called a miracle. Or photoshop.

:lol:

A few months ago, I saw on internet an article about the real look of film actors and actresses. They compared for each actor and actres a photo of them like we know them and a photo without any make up. After having read the article and especially having seen the photos, I concluded that I had nothing to envy to them. Oh my ! I prefer from far my head and body ^^
Even if I have some pounds too much :lol:

Well, we are like we are. I never gave importance to physical appearance but some of them are considered as queens and kings of beauty and finally they are just illusions, false. It's a little too bad that they cheat like that, I think. They should assume their appearance. It would be better. At least, the public would appreciate them for their play and not for something that doesn't exist finally. It's too bad !

Well, just my point of view ^^

Yeah, Gackt isn't that great looking a guy without the expensive photo-shoots and retouching.

Looks like a pretty plain Japanese guy. Maybe even a little uglier than average.

I think Gackt is pretty good-looking with or without makeup and photoshopping.

That is all.

And how do we know that he looks in real the same that we see on the photos ? Except if we are one of his friends, all what we see from Gackt can be an illusion. Even if he seems to be without makeup, it's not sure that he is in reality.

Well, you can say that it's the same for Mana ^^ But Mana, playing the role of a transvestite and always having a lot of makeup, we PERFECTLY know that if we take off all his makeup, he won't look the same. For Gackt, we don't really know, except his friends ^^
But tastes ...

Thank you for the pic, Cerceau ^^ I prefer Mana like that, in concerts than on the other pics ^^

Well, since you're his close personal friend, why don't you tell me?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

If I was really his close personal friend, I'd surely not tell you and others how he looks in real. I'd keep it secret :P Even my other friends wouldn't know how he looks. It's not that I wouldn't present him to them and vice versa but I wouldn't say them who he is. I'd present him and speak about him to them like I'd do for someone else, not as the artist ^^ Well, it could happen but in extreme situations.
My last sentence because some years ago I met other artists and I told it to some of their fans that I trusted a lot and finally, it turned against me. So now, even if I was his close personal friend (but I am not :P), I'd remain silent about it, even if I had to imagine a pack of lies to keep it secret. And I think that all his friends should do the same ^^ If I was a great artist myself, I'd surely want to have friends in who I can trust ^^
