This may sound stupid and may not be allowed, but I wanna try anyway.

Do you guys remember when Phantasmagoria's Diamond Dust in Truth last live was aired on USENET? Does "MAGO MANGO TANGO" say anything to you? Do you have good memories from that event?

I watched the Diamond Dust in Truth DVD today and all of a sudden had this crushing nostalgic feeling... I'd like everyone who was there and remembers to say something. A short comment is nice too, I just want all of us to remember that amazing day together, because I had so much fun.

This community has some amazing people, but there aren't many opportunities to talk with everyone. I'd be very happy to experience something similar again someday, but memories are just fine for now. So if you feel like talking, please comment with your feelings and memories.

I don't want to forget.

MAGO MANGO TANGO♥

Mmm, I don't think I am terrible at it, though it still takes me sometime to learn a song. Though I have Fairy Times Memory at least half way through on the bass part. When I get the rest of it learned, I was thinking about recording it or something ;D

Same here. That is the goal. ;-; I hate it when Kisaki does this to himself.

The only thing that I though of (LATER of course) is we would have to worry about the copy rights of anything we watching :/ We would have to figure out a way to make it private or SOMETHING. I don't know myself... If anyone knows of any sites where there aren't a million mods or something to basically say, 'This is for fun not profit blah blah blah' let me know!

Lol I am curious about almost every language out there XD Too many languages to learn and not enough time sadly.

I wasn't on the chat because I was attempting recording the live and I couldn't managed everything at the same time without fucking the recording. Well, it was still worth nothing since the recording didn't work. All my other attempts were a success except from this one sigh I was pissed and still am. Tho, I did enjoy this live very much despite the early AM and also trying to not wake up anyone with my squeals and fangirl moments lol

I remember reading about the MAGO MANGO TANGO afterwards X)

Okies~

Are you good? :3 You should make a Mago bass cover someday, I'd love to hear you play!

I hope he'll realize how much we care about him and that it will make him care about himself more. I really don't want another hospitalization.

RIGHT! I'd love to hear Riku's voice someday, just his voice. Without any other instruments or noises, just his pure angel voice♥ They'd be my greatest treasure ;_;

I like Versailles very much, though I miss Jasmine. Thank you, I definitely will!

Yeah, but try listening to some other vocalists XD I'm surprised that Riku's voice hasn't changed so much. LOL it's my favorite song by them XD

Even though I sometimes call KISAKI "Kami" I fully realize he's just a human. I love making fun of him D: Especially his cute teef :B

My mom said Riku would be handsome if he didn't have so many piercings and scary contact lenses. But he's so cute!

Need to get their DNA D:

Lol you and I BOTH would do that XD Take them home and be all like 'Seriously I am not going to rape you, please play your music for me' LOL

I don't like Versailles much since Jasmine You passed. Seems to mean like Kamijo is just beating a dead horse. :/ To me their music lacks something they used to have. But hey have fun!

Lol XD Kawon is kind of funny to listen to now because Riku HAS gotten so much better. XD Still has a special place in my heart. I love 自殺の部屋(Jisatsu No Heya) Or Suicide Room. :D

Fact that people tend to forget is that they aren't gods and that they are still human. They are going to make mistakes, they are going to piss us off. They are going to do things that we don't like. Its as simple as that. People get too butt hurt over the tax evasion thing in my opinion. They weren't there, they don't know the WHOLE story, so stop bashing.

LOL My mom thinks Riku is a rapist XD or some sort of criminal XD To which I can reply, 'Oh yes, my bad boy!' LOL

Cloning sounds like a plan >D

I would put them into a jar and take them home o.o It doesn't matter if they're solid or liquid, they're Mago XD

I think I'd kill them for that D: I'm going to a Versailles concert on Sunday with my parents (WTF) and my mom said she'd rather see Mago. Take me to Japan, mommy, and we can see them! Wow a KAWON fan? That's so rare! I'm impressed that Riku has been such an amazing singer since the KAWON times.

I JUST LOVE THEM ALL TOO MUCH >.< They're the best in every single way in my eyes, though I know about their negative points as well. My love for them is not blind, but too great to be smashed by tax evasion, multiple releases of songs, multiple disbandments etc.

ROFL

My mom wants me to marry Iori. She's so cruel without even realizing it XD Let's clone them, shall we? We can have a copy of every single one for ourselves XD I'd have them as statues in my room♥ >:D

English is a pain. Half the people who speak English don't even do it right XD But if you ever do have a question about English feel free to ask me. :D Same with Japanese, though I will tell you an I don't know unless I am 100% sure. Don't need more misconceptions running about.

Sure thing ;D

Ok just send me a note or something when you have it uploaded somewhere and I will download it :D

I bought my bass a couple of years ago. I haven't had that much time to really play it though because my dad would complain that it was too loud, without and amp.

So now that I've moved out, I have had some more time to play it.

Lol anything is fine. Its not the greatness of the art that matters, it is the message that we want to convey ;D

Yeah, I ripped it yesterday so I'll try to upload it today when I get from my English class.

I play the piano so I'm a great fan of KISAKI PROJECT as well. I've wanted a bass since I was 10 or so (I have a bass obsession), but my parents don't wanna buy me one D: I guess I'll buy one myself when I get older...

Okay, thanks! I'll try to find some time... I'm not that good at drawing, so I guess I'll just make something cute, heh.

Yes it is WAY to hot here. They would melt XD;

My parents have denied me the pleasure of seeing Mago in Texas, when Riku was in LA, and killed a trip to Japan >/ I am not a thrilled person about this STILL.

I'm OLD XD I am 20 and I think I have known about Riku since I was like...9 or so? Its been a while. I followed Kawon way back when through a Japanese friend who lived here before moving to her Grandparents.

Riku is love <3 I love that man with all my heart. I respect him so much. His lyrics are beautiful. He's an artist in every sense. Kisaki is an inspiration to me. I feel more determined when I think of what he's done. Jun and Iori are the best guitarists out there in my opinion. They just work out so well with each other. Matoi is adorable and an awesome drummer. I just wish I knew what he was up to these days. I haven't heard anything about JILL CHRIST in years...

Unlikely.

XD

YES I AM GOING TO GO TO JAPAN, MARRY RIKU AND HAVE 3 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN GUYS!!!

NOT!

Ewww, that's HOT D: I could see them if they came to Germany, maybe. My parents wouldn't let me go see another band that far, but they know how much I love Mago. My mom likes them too.

I'm still just a kid so I can't say I've been their fan for a long time... though those 3 years still mean a lot to me.

Well, I have to admit they are beautiful and sexy and handsome, but damn, they're not some sexual objects or what. To me, Riku and Maa-kun are the cutest in the world, KISAKI and JUN are the most beautiful in the world, and IORI is the most handsome in the world. But I reespect them a lot♥♥♥

Yeah, like that would ever happen... but... well, you never know XD

That would be great! Just upload it somewhere (preferably in VOB so that its really nice and clear) and we'll work some more on this!

I have to agree with you in a lot of ways. Sometimes I just can't tell what's going through peoples heads. Japanese or not. I play a bass guitar, and I am a part time model and I find a lot of inspiration in Kisaki. His confidence in his music and in himself astounds me.

Please feel free to! You don't have to be on Deviantart to do this :D Just let me know when you finish something up. Leave a comment or something and we can talk some more about getting it to me and then to Kisaki.

The originals I have are just those three I mentioned (plus the bonus discs they contain of course). I have some others as well, but not a great quality. Want me to upload Diamond Dust in Truth for you? You're great so I'm willing to do it ;__;

I wish he knew... he's my inspiration in many ways and I respect him so much. Sometimes I get the feeling Japanese artists have more fans overseas than in Japan. But haters as well. Right now I'm thinking of drawing and writing something myself D:

Yea, the nice thing about DA however is that you don't have to be a member to view all of the content ;D

My major is Japanese, so I spend a lot of my time working on it. Though this summer I've been too busy or lazy to do so. I am working to teach English there so I got work to do. Lol.

Depends on how you advertise in the end. People will come only if you let them know about it and if you get them interested. Which is the hard part I think. I know a lot of people got mad at Mago for the on off disbandment thing. At least the people in Arizona that I know aren't like that.

I would have to say give it some more thought before you go out and make something. :) Cause you want it to be a certain way and accomplish a certain amount. Make sure you know what you're doing first!

Ok. I will send you a friend request!

Looks cool, a pity I'm not on DA -.-

I'm not very good at Japanese, I know only what I learned by myself since there are no Japanese teachers or something similar in my area. So my knowledge contains only vocab and grammar from lyrics, blogs, comments and some workbooks my friend who works for Japanese airlines sent me.

Yeah, I don't know if this one will catch on 'cause I'm not really sure how many TRULY passionate Mago fans are out there.

I still have no actual idea of what the comm would contain, I'd like it to be a bit different than other comms. Not just loads of infos, but also maybe events like the one we're planning, or just some friendly activities. Would be cool if other people wanted to join in as well.

Ah, I'd be very happy! And thank you, you're pretty awesome yourself ;3 Hard to find true Mago fans these days .___.

[Archived] Diamond Dust in Truth reunion

Ah. I live in Arizona. It gets to be about 40 something Celsius during the summer, and winter it only drops so far. So I doubt they would want to come here.

I know what you mean. I've been a huge fan of Riku for a very very long time. But Phantasmagoria is by far the band where I think I could connect with him the most.

I admit to fangirling a little, but its not like I think, 'OMG I WILL MARRY RIKU!!!!!!'

PFFFTH

Chances of that happening are like...Not a damn chance XD

People forget that in the end its about music and not just some pretty man

[Archived] Diamond Dust in Truth reunion

I have, Eclipse of Myth, Tokyo Requiem, Territory of Divine, and many others. I just need Diamond Dust in Truth. I could try and set up just a Mago Day or something. Play a BUNCH of their stuff. I've got a lot of it in VOB.

I tried both of those. We're trying to find a fan mail to send it to so that he can receive it personally. We feel sending it electronically won't be as powerful. So I am asking people to send me their drawings and writing and a small messages so that I can put it in Japanese, and I will send it to Kisaki once I get the address. We want to wish Kisaki well and wish that he will take care of himself, but its hard for non Japanese fans. If all outs fail I am going to send them to UCP directly with his name on it or something. But we want Kisaki to hear that the rest of the world cares about him just as much.

Yeah, same goes for Europe. So if they come to, idk, Norway, I wouldn't be able to attend that live.

They are the first band in my life which means so much to me. They're more than just a band to me. I don't "fangirl" over them, like "OMG you sees that JUN is soo damn smexy me wantz to rape him and awwww IORI-kun look at that me wanna marry him" D: NO. I respect them too much to be able to do THIS.

Slovakia ;__; We're just a small spot in the middle of Europe...

Yea, the two comms I have here on LJ are practically dead.

But the one here, http://undercode.deviantart.com is.

I gave up on the comms here after a time because they just weren't doing well and I was going through a hard time. I just don't want to purge them because there are some good memories there.

I have some Japanese knowledge. I'm actually about to enter my 4th Japanese class. I'm not perfect, mind you, but usually if given some time I can figure things out.

I'm thinking that a comm like that would be great! The only thing that would come with it is a lot of work however, assuming that it really catches on. I've got 80 some members at my comm that I have on Deviantart, and I need at least 4 mods and even THAT's not enough.

But a lot of it I would think depends on what you're planning on doing. If you want translations of information. Discographies, and so on so fourth. way, you're pretty awesome. Would you mind if I added you as a friend?

I own ECLIPSE OF MYTH, forbidden ~insanity of the UDERWORLD~ and Diamond Dust in Truth, so I could rip it and send it to you if you'd like :3 (ECLIPSE OF MYTH would be too emotional D: I always cry when I watch it )

Hmm, maybe his MySpace or the UCP OHP have that kind of info? In what form are you doing it? People draw/write and send them do your adress or just in an electronic form?

I've noticed that the main Mago comm is not really active. I'd want this one to be for WHATEVER is related to Mago. Graphics, rants, fanfics, really lots of randomness, but a bit organized. I still have to think about it... if you have any suggestions, feel free to say!♥

Ah, amazing! It would be so cool if we could actually pull this out. I'll try to make a research of some kind to help you somehow.

I agree.

America is so large too. It sucks when they only come to one state or something. Its not fair to people who don't want to shove out $1000 to just see a live.

I love Lin as well, but Mago will always been way deep in my heart.

Hey if you want to make a comm like that I would gladly help.

I have a laptop and a main computer, so the chat wouldn't be a worry. :D I could dual monitor them and make one the live and the other the chat, and make it so you only have the live streaming.

Might take me a little while to figure out, but I am sure I could do it. I could probably as a friend to help as well.

We could make a reunion every year on 5th April! XD I wish I could meet you guys in real life and talk about... MAGO MANGO TANGO stuff. Yeah.

Well, I have a fanclub that I run on Deviantart for Undercode. I post a lot of information there. Kind of like this community.

If someone can get me a file of the live, since I don't own it, I have no problem setting up a day where we could do something like this.

Right now I am actually trying to send out 'Please take care of yourself' cards to Kisaki. I just need an address that would get directly to him.

Its taking some time, since people are drawing and writing and what not, but in the mean time I could try and figure something out for this if anyone wants to help.

Ooh, I like this idea! It'd have to be on a computer where the chat wouldn't be up or we'd have to watch the chat and the live at the same time, if I'm right about how it works, but I don't think it's much of an issue either way. I really hope it works out and we can schedule it!

Yea I remember that. I had sent him an email when he said that he would reply to all of them. It was a couple months late, but he said that to me as well.

Something to the effect of, 'I will visit all my fans around the world as Lin'

I do wonder if he will revive Mago at least one more time for the fans outside of Japan. The livestream was nice, but it would be even better if we could actually be there.

Its really not fair for all the fans outside of Japan to get no credit what so ever.

I'm very VERY opinionated about that XD

Its possible that someone can play the live from their computer through the DVD and then stream it through ManyCam or something. Basically play it and stream what's going on on that person's desktop :D I do that for my art sometimes. People can watch me draw on my tablet, so I don't see how watching a live could be any different.

Its a can of juice. Once I take the pictures off of my phone I was going to macro is and have it say MAGO MANGO TANGO!

I know what you mean hun. That was both the saddest day and happiest day of my life. I've been trying to get to a Mago concert for years, and being outside of Japan makes it near impossible. The fact that they did that stream just made it at least a little easier to say goodbye.

Aww ;o; I was there! Made a full set of mago icons afterward, haha~ I missed MAGO MANGO TANGO, though. But I definitely agree, it was a really really great experience, and it was amazing getting to talk to everyone and share our mutual happysad. It was like going to a live with a bunch of friends, without the crazy pushy fangirls! Maybe we can organize some kind of live-watching through youtube or something, sometime? It'd have to be a DVD, not something streaming, obviously, but it'd still be fun. I'm sure we could coordinate a chat to go along with it, of course!

These are one of the best memories I have. It was something truly incredible, to be able to experience Phantasmagoria "live" and people from this community have made it even more magical.

It's such a pity we can't "meet" together some other way... I was actually already thinking about creating a forum of some kind, but I don't have time for maintaining something like that.

Of course I remember that event. It was so nice to meet other under_code members and experience the live with them. And I had so much fun making a fool of myself!

I really hope that wasn't the last live event we'll get to experience in that way.
