my fetish for: MALICE MIZER

left-right:mana, yu~ki, gackt, kami, Közi

I think this is the pics with the most 'okay' costume from them

Its a very shocking fact for me, that I come to like a band who dress like they did.
It comes in the middle of the first semester in my third year of junior high, where every students have to make the so called Karya Ilmiah. And i start wonderin "what should I come up to?" and remembered that they will always be an annual japanese festival in Jakarta (anywhere and any university, and actually in the end of 2008 fortunately theres a celebration of Ind-Jap 50th friendship aniversary) and there, i came up with the idea of writing about Cosplay.

I started googling and such, and wiki tell that this malice mizer band is one of the popular artist who every cosplayer most look up to for cosplaying. My fangirlinstinct came and start to find some pics of them for my KI. And I was shocked! and thought, "what a weird costume!"

untill then when I search them up on youtube. The first vid I saw of them was Gekka no Yasoukyoku. The first time watching sucha weird vid, people on tree, people playing human puppets, a pirates, people turn into sand, etc.vbut then the song stuck on my head for days and I cant get over it, it makes me more and more curious. the song just caught me.

I start to learn about them. you could find them here. And my fav is the Gackt era, with french pop song type. But tetsu and klaha era are also very good. Despite of their not so normal costumes (well I think thats okay and soo fun) their song are sooo goood. Not like the others, for ex. in others' album I only like one/two particular song (even in Arashi's album). But for malice mizer's song it was also a huge shock to me that I came to like most of da song that I heard.

introducing;

Mana (Guitar, Synth)
He is the founder and one of the best crossdresser for Visual Kei band. The one who popularize gothic lolita clothing, though it already exist long time before. He owned Moi meme moitie label clothing.
Never smile and never speak, but once slipped, lol

Közi (Guitar)
Founder of Malice mizer, with Mana. I just realize that he's cool and adorable. His songs are great and upbeat (the one like illuminati, je te veux and gekka) For me he's the skinny and older type of Miura Haruma >< theyre not same at all haha

Yu~ki (Bass)
The shy one and barely talk. Have the cool aura on stage hehe :D
I saw him once wthout make up and... he's actually, well, *cough* u could say handsome! go mr. dracula!

Kami (drum, percussion)
My fav one! First impression was "He looks like nita thalia the dangdut singer!" rofl
He's cool with his drums, cute, funny, sexy, handsome and so on. He kinda reminds me of myself used to be; like his long flowing hair, i used to have it too, then he cut it shoulder length, me too, he has butterfly fetish, so do I.
But unfortunately, subarachnoid hemorrhage killed him when he was asleep, back in 1999. he had died. What a sad fact. And Its too late to have a crazy over him thingy now. Malice mizer made an album in memory of him. Gackt also write the song U+K for him (stands for Kamimura Ukyou, his real name) which the song is fun and I really like it. Rest in peace, yo!

Gaz (ex drummer)
I know nothing about him. No one talk about him. He's the first drummer of malice mizer. Then he quit and join a band called kneuklid roamnce, in return kneuklid romance's drummer, kami join malice mizer.
a split of fate!

tetsu (ex vocal)
I like his singing style. But I keep laughing whenever I heard the song Baroque (but I like it very much) I also like his version of Ma Cherie. He said "are you missing me" clearly not like gackt and klaha who sounds like "are you miisyumii" haha!

Gackt C. (ex vocal)
So cool and handsome. The most successful one with his solo career. He's so popular now. I like his crossed-short hairstyle. back in his era, his body is so small and slim and now he's got that muscular one. he really is over 469 years old :D


Klaha (vocal)
He's handsome and his voice is a wow. I was shocked when I hear it. Wow. its a wow! it get the aristocrat feeling

after their vocalist Gackt decided to leave for a solo career, their drummer, Kami died. After that, malice mizer recruit Klaha as vocalist but they didnt replace Kami, because he wont be replaced with anyone, ne? (weird sentence) But they do have a support drummer.
They're currently on hiatus since 2001. Each member start their own solo project since then.

My favorite Malice Mizers song;
most of the song I listen to is Gackt's era. Coz the others are hard to find :x
my fav is ma cherie, je te veux, illuminati, brise, madrigal, nps ngs, au revoir, baroque, beast of blood, apres midi, gekka no yasoukyoku, Uruwashiki kamen no shoutaijo, claire, and so on!

They are sure, once you see and heard, you'd never forget.
even me who said 'its impossible for me to like them' in the first place
