Back when Visual Kei was also theatrical. It is a pity that Visual Kei is no longer a visual and a theatrical proposal. Today Visual Kei is more MTV-ish.
it is also an aesthetic way to express music, according to hide-san from classic X japan. Rather than solely from audio, u can actually "feel" the music from the visual aspect, creating a double impact. However, this abstract concept is hardly achieved nowadays, and the definition as well fades away...
What does gender matter in theater? All Visual kei is high theater. In the tradition of Kabuki all actors are male. Kabuki originated in the beginning of the 1600's. It came out of a sub culture of people who wore wild hair styles or let it just grow long. Wild clothing fashions, samuri waring women's komonos, it was street fashion, music and dance. They were called kabukimono which means to deviate. Visual kei is kabukimono and it is amazing. Malice Miser is the original Vk band and are genius.
Thank you for that information. I love Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, and ZIZ. Mana and Kozi started Malice Mizer. Then Mana started his solo project Moi dix Mois, and Kozi started his band ZIZ. There are so many wonderful songs. The music compositions, the lyrics, the costumes and makeup, and the elaborate sets are all so wonderful that I don’t care to spend any time on other bands. The photos of all the members are so beautiful and my walls are lined with them. My granddaughter Fin (12) turned me onto MM and I have found great joy listening and watching them non-stop. I have added Moi dix Mois and ZIZ to my listening pleasure since Mana and Kozi started MM and now MdM and ZIZ. I am 73 and these bands are timeless. To all MM fans, I love you all and hope you find great pleasure in listening to this music❤😊🎉😊❤😊🎉😊❤
For starters,Kabuki. The female roles were reprized by special type of male actors, called Onnagata.) Actually it was the same in European and Chinese theater.Since VKei is the Japanese take on glam rock, wearing dresses and/or make up has a certain rebel-against-the-norms meaning.Normal people have a strict dress code,when on stage you get to express yourself- the more extravagant, the better. That's why the early VKei artists count on heavy make up and provocative look and stage behavior.
X Japan may have started Visual Kei, but Malice Mixer reinvented it, and gave it new life. It's too bad it ended the way it did. Several bands "tried" to duplicate their style with mixed results. Come back MM 2020!
I absolutely LOVE this song. I really wish that Malice Mizer would visit the USA sometimes soon, though I really miss Gackt and Kami (God bless his soul...) It makes me want to cry when I think about him
Yes, it's all being sung in english XD It's basically got the feel of someone who's very lost, doesn't know their place anymore, remembering broken fragments of memories..and they just want it all to end. Hope that helps ^^
Actually, it was during this performance he was announced as the new official Vocalist. Many people are confused on this so its okay you don't understand. This song was released as a single, along with many other singles that they released during the time between the Gackt and Klaha era. But the Bara no Seidou album is built of those singles and many new songs that was in fact part of the Klaha era.
An absolute masterpiece of Visual Kei. An epic video from a glorious Group. Every time I show this video to my friends, they watch it totally fascinated, as if they received an arcane revelation. A friend of mine, that is Professor at the prestigious London School of Pharmacy and also a music composer, told me that this is the most fantastic video I ever showed him. Timewaster trolls/loosers that dislike this video should better return to watch videos more suitable to their intellectual level (e.g. Britney Spears).
To be honest, bro, I only reported what a person who has listened to this song has told me. Music can induce in the listener a broad range of emotions of different intensity. If your emotions are faint after listening to this song it does not mean that somebody else might be literally fascinated.*****
I can't say that I'm a fan of the video itself, but the music isn't too bad. It's just that creepy haunting melancholic singing that gives me the chills. I like it.
1. Yes, I think it did ^^ This PV was only with the three members who were left after Kami died and Gackt had left v.v R.I.P. Kami 2. The singles they released were sung by Klaha, but since he only was a support vocalist at that time, he wasn't in the PVs. He joined the band officially shortly after, though. ^^
This song has inpired me on so many things... The lyrics are .... inspiring and true, a real work of art. You probably heard this a thousand times but... Mana I love you. Mois !
First time ever listening to Malice Mizer... 3:49 Jumped out of my chair and screamed. Maybe volume all the way up was a bad idea.. Too scary for me :/
damn,, one of my friends recommended this to me and I'm in awe. this gives me nostalgia for something i have never experienced-- if u see this fennel, thank you very much, I am LIVING
I listened to loads of Japanese music when I lived there so yeah, I did listen to some of their music! But I bought the vhs tape mostly for fun! I knew it had something to do with Malice Mizer but I didn't know what was on it since my Japanese wasn't very good!
Leroy Noon- In the video of "Beast of blood" I saw your comment about Malice Mizer being the worst band in Visual Kei. If you really loathe MM so much, stop wasting your time and listen to the crap you listen. Going to every single MM video doesn't help you. It makes you look like a help-less hater that doesn't have anything to do. Believe it or not, some people actually ENJOY it, and will enjoy it until they die. There are smart people who are able to see the beauty in MM's songs. So yeah, get the hell out of here!
+LayLyann Tarabay Irizarry yeah i don't understand how anyone could think they are the worst- there are so many lackluster and not very good bands in Visual Kei, and Malice Mizer are one of the better ones (they are just heavy with classical music, less of the rock n roll- so that may be why this person is saying that).
eartianwerewolf Sincerely I listen to a lot of VK and Jrock overall, but I can say Malice Mizer is definitely one of my favorites (and that's saying a lot because I like a lot of bands)
LayLyann Tarabay Irizarry he’s right tho,this music sucks and it was on the “love among freaks” playlist. Like how did I go from listening to the clerks themesong to this shit?
Argh. Why can't this band of pure unadulterated amazingness still be together? I just started getting into them when I found out they've broken up years ago. Soooo not faiir! Sooo pretty.
I feel like I have been possessed by this music...a dark switsed lullaby welcoming me to the grave. A song eternal for the final rest. A gentle, slow savagery that combs inside and outside my body ebbing away the last feelings only to leave a cold and lifeless shell. This is the coming sound of eternal sleep...something scary yet embracing. This is dark yet lovely music does this for me. Mana and the rest have true talent.
I love Malice Mizer. I wish they hadn't broken up. So I really like this song. I first heard it in their vampire movie Bara no konrei. Everyone who likes Malice Mizer should see that movie if they haven't already. As for if they are Christian, Santanist, Buddhist, Shinto, Atheist...whatever, who really cares? They were a good band who made good music and looked amazing. I wish I had some of their clothing. I did make the costume Mana had in Gardenia. I love Malice Mizer.

jesus, old school visual kei is EPIC
Mana's make-up is beautiful. Like I really want to try doing something similar, just cause it's that cool.
I actually did mana lips before it's actually pretty easy
I am really starting to get into Malice Mizer, they have such a great, elegant style to there look and videos. to bad they aren't around anymore :(
damn 13 years ago :00 are you doing good?
plsss I feel so young, do you still listen to them?!
yoo 13 years ago I was 3💀
Wow, this comment is 13 years old and this video takes me back.
@@pinkchampagne-kc6lp i was 5 💀
Back when Visual Kei was also theatrical. It is a pity that Visual Kei is no longer a visual and a theatrical proposal. Today Visual Kei is more MTV-ish.
YES! I'm so glad somebody else sees this. It was total theatre back then.
Amen to this! This is so divine. I feel the same thing when I watch this as I do Mozart L'Rock Opera.
THIS, LIKE NEW BANDS AREN'T BAD BUT VKEI WAS SO MUCH BETTER WITH OLD BANDS
It's a sorry state of affairs when *VISUAL* Kei no longer has interesting visuals.
@@ToruKun1they still have visuals, they're just different. I don't get you.
came for that közi meme, stayed for malice mizer music
Közi account got deleted
Mana sama background vocal, finally able to hear his beautiful voice :3

IM GONNA CRY STOP
Perhaps the best ever condoleance video EVER.
R.I.P. Kami, you're the most awesome drummer Malice Mizer could have hoped for!

神曲！！
ヴォーカルなしで、これだけの世界観を表現できるMana様はやっぱり天才。
そして、ライブの時には、Mana様の前にスタンドマイクが置かれMana様自らコーラスに参加されていた姿にMALICE MIZER継続へのMana様の強い意志を感じ涙が出ました。
this sounds like one of those epic boss battle theme music lmao i love it
After around 20 years or so, this is still one of my favorite music videos and sogs of all time
Man...These perfume commercials are getting out of hand.
Don't look at me like that. Miss 09
Looool
😂😂😂
Csmmm 🤣🤣
LOL!
This is timeless. I just cried with nostalgia and happiness.
...this is art. How can I don't know about that visual kei kings before?
It's never too late :)

Literally Art
Facts
Yes
X Japan may have started Visual Kei, but Malice Mixer reinvented it, and gave it new life. It's too bad it ended the way it did. Several bands "tried" to duplicate their style with mixed results. Come back MM 2020!
It's been so long and my heart is still bleeding.
@@JuriKamila At least they had a reunion show.
@@JuriKamila Yeah me too and now it left a hole in my chest.
Alucards Quest-
Exactly! No one has been able to duplicate them or replace them lol MM is the only MM.
Technically it was bands like Buck Tick that started the first wave of vk bands
Whenever I hear this song I imagine myself running through a dark creepy forest that leads to a cemetery or church.
When I hear this I imagine myself being a vampire and taking a walk when the full moon is out and the light of the moon shining down on my face
@@ManasamafangirlI feel like I'm some castlevania character or in the game
I absolutely LOVE this song. I really wish that Malice Mizer would visit the USA sometimes soon, though I really miss Gackt and Kami (God bless his soul...) It makes me want to cry when I think about him
This Band is amazing!
Ah Mana is amazing
Oh, nostalgia
この世界感は今のV系には出せない‼
OMG Közi's outfit (the side-haired doll) is beautiful!
I have listened to this for more than 500 times.
I wish this was on spotify...
A MINHA FAVORITA DESSE ÁLBUM!!!! AMO DEMAIS!!!!
Para mim e meio sinistro mas a música e muito boa viciante kk
I wish more people knew that Mana sung the background vocals in this song. I think it was the part at 2:01
wasn’t this just a rumor? still, there’s a JVM roses blood symphony song where it was confirmed that Mana did gutturals!!
クオリティ高すぎる
けどこの世界観を理解できる日本人は少なかったし、Gackt時代のようなサウンドを望んでるファンが離れていったのが哀しい…
この当時TH-camがあればヨーロッパで人気が出てただろう
はい、Gacktの時代のようなサウンドは凄くいいけど、このような時代のサウンドは凄くヨーロッパ人と北アメリカ人とても人気です。
I love this video. So mysterious, eerie, dark, classical, and a wonderful interlude-like feel
After all these years.... I still get chills.
Do you still get chills?
One of my favorite Japanese bands, I fell in love with the dresses, make-up, and the music.
forgot about this band, so much talent.
how can you ever forget
I have this PV on a VHS tape I got when I was in Japan 5 years ago! I'd forgotten all about it until now! xD thanks for the nostalgia trip!
do you still have it?
Yes, it's all being sung in english XD It's basically got the feel of someone who's very lost, doesn't know their place anymore, remembering broken fragments of memories..and they just want it all to end. Hope that helps ^^
old school vkei has my entire heart

But the Bara no Seidou album is built of those singles and many new songs that was in fact part of the Klaha era.
This is like a fever dream
That was so awesome... Everyone looked really, really good. So that's how the instrumental era between Gackt and Klaha was.
An absolute masterpiece of Visual Kei. An epic video from a glorious Group. Every time I show this video to my friends, they watch it totally fascinated, as if they received an arcane revelation.

@@morenococchietto1025 LMFAO
kozi and mana really outdid themselves in the look of this video.
really extraordinary.
Mana sama! Please come back.
He has a band now called moi dix mois you should check it out if you wanna see him more
never before mana did harpsichords and synthesizers sound so good together
Közi - san is very beautiful... I love him. :$
I love Közi he is such a role model to me! Also, I like your name, Hizaki with a Jasmine You profile :3
+💛 Kamijo The Cat 💛
Oh! yeah thanks :) :*
Oh, when Kozi and Mana appear it sends shivers up my spine *shivers* I LOVE this song
So dark and creepy I LOVE it -evil smile-
Comparing mana sama looks here and now, he's super immortal i just say
Once a baby gurl always a baby gurl.
I can't say that I'm a fan of the video itself, but the music isn't too bad. It's just that creepy haunting melancholic singing that gives me the chills. I like it.
Tava há anos procurando por isso MDS ,que nostalgia kkkkk
scaaaaaryyyy.... o_O
love Mana!! everytime i see him i start to cry *_*
he is soo beautyful!!!!
Malice Mizer é perfeito
This is my favourite Malice Mizer song EVER!
1. Yes, I think it did ^^ This PV was only with the three members who were left after Kami died and Gackt had left v.v

2. The singles they released were sung by Klaha, but since he only was a support vocalist at that time, he wasn't in the PVs. He joined the band officially shortly after, though. ^^
I really love this song and pv I like how it has a dark yet classical sound idk xD but its beautiful
espesially in the live proformance
And yet if they said that they were getting back together tomorrow, people all over the world would swarm.
all of them together sounds so amazing, too bad its just fond memories now...
First Malice Mizer song I’d ever heard 💖 Still one of my favorites
I Love This Video and Imagery. Beautifully Done PV
Ughhh i love vkei so michhhh
My god, Mana is beautiful! I love this song, its so haunting! Malice Mizer, also Dir En Gray, Rox Ma Sox
Te conocí hace unos 15 años y aun me encantas 🎶
This song has inpired me on so many things... The lyrics are .... inspiring and true, a real work of art. You probably heard this a thousand times but... Mana I love you. Mois !
First time ever listening to Malice Mizer...
3:49 Jumped out of my chair and screamed.
Maybe volume all the way up was a bad idea..
Too scary for me :/
***** church sounds expensive... can i go to a liquor store bathroom instead? :/
Maybe you should try the gackt days and then you will understand why they are so dark now or were they are long gone now haha
Bryan S Yes, try songs like Au Revoir or Bel Air, totally different from this. And then Gardenia and Garnet are a mix of the two.
omg this is awesome song I am addicted to it I wish the uploader never erase this EVER cause I will hear this every morning lunch and night!!
i think they are amazing band
damn,, one of my friends recommended this to me and I'm in awe. this gives me nostalgia for something i have never experienced-- if u see this fennel, thank you very much, I am LIVING
This is one of my favs. of MM
I think i just have been blessed
Essa parte chega arrepia 1:00
Esto sigue vigente conmigo en pleno 2024, en público de habla hispana, Malice Mize simplemente ÉPICO
это рай для моей души
