Everything Mana makes me go I agree the hair is very well drawn.

... Sometimes I wonder, why does no one try to draw him WITHOUT makeup? As a boy, I mean...?

Hmm... I have an old clip of him from the group Girl'e, (before MM was founded) and he looks pretty male there. Even wearing pants for an instance... Then I have some paparazzi pics...
Guess I'll give it a try. There isn't much, but...

Mwhaha! Prepare yourself, Mana!!

Yeh, I tried it before. Hahah, but hmm, it would be interesting to see him without makeup very much.

I've seen some pics, but they doesn't give much because his eyes are hidden by shades... >_<

From what I've seen, Mana-sama has natural black hair (very long too) thin lips and... well, he's around 40 years now I guess.

Yeh, I have pictures of him like that also. He's actually in his 30's...he was born around 1970-1972. His lips aren't at all as full as his painted ones, but not too skinny in the ones I've seen. I also used to have a concert where he says something...damn he has a deep voice.

Really? I SO want a pic of Mana with no makeup at all and where you can see his eyes!
In his 30s? Where did you get that from??
Ahh, good news... means he ain't much older than Kamui and... tehehe...

Lucky you got to hear his voice. I know about a site with tons... well, ok, three or two different Mana clips where he talks, but some are fake (cosplayers) and I'm not able to figure out if any of them are real because all of them looks a lot like the real Mana and insist they're him. If people didn't tell me, I would really believe everyone of em was Mana-sama... >_<

Because Gackt is a few years younger then the group and he was born in 1973 (it's confirmed...he let it out and gackt's therefore like 33-34? ), and if you consider he was in his early 20s clearly in the early 1990's he's prob now in his 30's.

Yeah... but how do you know Mana isn't older? I always thought he must be in his 40s now...

Mana is a few years old than Gackt. Oy, way baccck like in the late 80's early 90's he had a band called girl or something and that was after he got out of music school, which he went to after highschool ( I'm not sure if his highschool was the music school) hence he had to been in his very late teens or early 20's. So he's probably around 34-36 now. Ask any longtime MM fan like myself, and they can tell you this. :lol We aren't just making it up, not that it matters if he's in his 40's or 30's.

Nah, you're right. Mana is pretty anyway... It's just that I'm so curious about what he looks like without shades and make up...

Ps, that band was called Girl'e. Surprising, ne? <_<
