Edtied your post. Don't put pics from other people's servers directly into your post. That wastes a lot of their bandwidth.

Mana's looking sharp as usual though

O:
Mana's hair is not as huge as I remember it being!

Yeah.. I'm thinking Mana's gunna have to start toning down his style soon. The makeup and such.. soon he's going to be our next Haruhiko.

I think those photos were just a bad angle - if you dig through the trainwreck that was the M10M in Germany thread, there were better shots of him, if I remember right.

I do agree that he should start to tone it down a little, at least for lives

No offense to Viona, but she overexposes her photos like crazy and pops the contrast like whoa. It works well in studio shoots, but with live pictures it's a little hit or miss. D:

LOL, I think he should tone it down a little, but mostly they're just bad shots. He looked great as always when I met him at AX. I can kind of get why he doesn't like unauthorized pics being taken of him now.

cool pics! and some of those other people look badass too!!

i think it got a little to hard to wear extentions. thats the difference i think. no extentions.

live photo contrast is horrible i think because of the lights and fog and whatnot, it just makes it look like a bad quality photo.

haha, i know those guys. the one with the big hair is a friend of mine, he didn't comb his hair throughout the whole festival and just went to sleep with his hair like that

I don't think Mana will be the next Haruhiko, Haruhiko is so far down the Ugly Path that it will be impossible to catch up with him . (sorry if you think he's handsome). But I don't really think those photos were taken well though >_>;. Though I do like the really close one of him when he was playing his guitar.

 

[Moizer]

What's the deal with him, anyways? Is he just like... really really old, and still does music, or has he been in a terrible fire when he was young? He confuses me.

Dude, Haruhiko is also like.. 20(?, a guesstamate.) years older than Mana. I dunno if you know anything about aging, but it makes people somewhat uglier.. and contrary to popular beliefs, Japanese people DO age. One day, Mana will be old and wrinkly, just like our grandparents and no amount of makeup will be able to save him, or us. ;[

Ahh, WGT looked like fantastic fun.

Was it just me, or on the second photograph of Mana - is the dix on his forhead a different design? Or perhaps it's just messed up from the photo itself?

I think the "dix" has gradually been growing into some strange shape.

Oh come on XD
All silliness aside, I don't think Haruhiko's THAT old. If he's over 50 he's probably not much over it. (this is purely my guessing) The "million-year-old ghoul effect" is just a combination of the fact that he IS somewhat older than many artists, he's lived a hard rocking lifestyle, and some unfortunate bad photos.
