Covering any song by Gackt is a great challenge as we all know how smooth as silk Gackt's vocal is and his excellent vocal control in live and recording. Taking all that into consideration, Moran have done a pretty good job. They tried to make it sound different which is quite refreshing and I, who is an avid Gackt (of course a fan of Malice Mizer too) fan, approve this version of ILLUMINATI. This is Moran not losing themselves as they cover a famous song yet I can feel Malice Mizer in there.
I prefer this version, it sounds even more theatrical yet powerful. It's like an even better song! I came here from the L'oiseau Blue PV and this band's music is so innovative and refreshing. Definitely a hidden gem.
If they did it exactly like the original, it would be a copy, and not a cover. I love this version because, although it has its major differences, we can still recognize the song completely and it was done beautifully!
I really like this cover. The violin and the intro is amazing, I can't help but separate the cover and the original since I'm in love with both versions.
I keep getting surprised with how much I like Mizer Covers. I've got to get the CRUSH albums!!! My jaw unhinged on this one as well. Loved the D cover of Gekka no Yasoukyoku too.
En verdad me encantó. Adoro a Moran y Malice Mizer... encontrar esto fue como lo mejor :D Sí el violín, quedó espectacular otro estilo más de Moran. Muy buen cover *w* Claro el de Malice siempre será único :3
Qué buena versión del tema. Sin duda lograrán adaptar a su particular estilo esta canción, que sin duda es mi favorita de Malice Mizer, tanto por ser una composición de Közi, como por la temática que se aborda en la letra.
I was expecting something different (jazzy like every Moran release) but i love it anyway! is awesome and they did it work :) I love Malice mizer and Moran! :)
hell yeah definitely digging this cover ^-^ though I do love the original as well, I like the Post Hardcore take on it. I just wish it was a little bit harder.
Ah well, I'm not really in favour with Moran's version, it's a bit harsh, in my opinion as compared to the original. But kudos to them for doing a nevertheless awesome cover ^^, the violin part is beautiful
Los instrumentos estuvieron magníficos, pero la voz me pareció algo extraña ... quizás sea porque prefiero la voz de Gackt pero en general fue un buen cover ^^
I had to stop this half way through, personally I hate it. Illuminati is my all time fave song so I was dubious about it but... idk, I just couldn't finish it.
+xcrimsonstarx its an interesting interpretation, but unique as it is in comparison its easy to see why some might not like it. as a looooong time MM fan, i appreciate this equally but to be frank i'll give it extra points because it actually sounds like they're saying "communion with nimrod" this time.
+plaguebearer That's fair, like you said it is interesting, there's just something about it I don't like, not sure I can exactly put my finger on what though! MM are my fave band so I'm probabloy a little biased however I thought D's Version of Gekka no Yasukyoku was amazing!
Uhm... Maybe they had the most difficult song to cover. You know... Malice Mizer were... WOW (You understand, right? D:). Ok, anyway... This version is quite good. I personally like the vocals, the violins, the drums... But I find it waaaaay too different from the original one. I think this is more... uh, "serious" :/
I've been listening to this for a while and at first I did like it alot. I actually heard this a few years back and did enjoy it ... But there was something stopping me from fully enjoying it... I couldn't figure what at first until now. I love malice mizer , all eras from tetsu to Gackt to Klaha. Personally I have always like klaha more so it's not like I prefer Gackt's voice over this singer because I'm biast to him . It's that I feel Gackt's charisma always slipped through his voice and with this one I don't feel it. The vocalist sounds somewhat like him, just in the least bit, however he is missing that spice that Gackt has. Despite me not liking the guy I have to give him his points and admit Gackt is talented in his art, and this is in no way a jab to the cover vocalist because i don't know this band to even speak good or bad about it as a whole. Now for the instrumental. Holy fuck! Now that is top tier. I full-heartedly enjoyed the instrumental here more than the original song. The touches of violin were especially good along with the guitar. Overall I give that a good 10/10.
they took what made ILLUMINATI so cool (the electronic influence AND THE WHIPS) out and puked out some shitty heavy nu-metal try hard crap..-_- Yeah, that was atrocious. A for effort, I guess.

Seven years later, this vocalist performed as a Malice Mizer additional vocalist on their 25th anniv concert
Actually he used to be a Malice Mizer's roadie.

@James Chris You can check VKDB, it is written in there. (Hitomi - MALICE MIZERローディー)
www.vkdb.jp/Moran.html#gsc.tab=0
@James Chris Kamijo and Hitomi were MM's roadies, they know each other since then.
This is the best Malice Mizer cover I've ever heard.
@James Chris I'll tried it! D is one of my favorite bands! It was a great cover!
☺️
i igree :O!!!!
Try Kaya's cover too! It is great!
生涯ミゼラーを誓う原曲スキーの私も、Moranアレンジのイルミナティはツボ。
ちゃんとMoranならではな良さも無くさず、原曲へのリスペクトも感じられる。
良いものを世に出してくれて嬉しいです❤
マリス＆GACKTファンだけど、これはいいカバーだと思う。
原曲の妖しさを損なわず、なおかつバンドのカラーがちゃんと出ている。

世代なのでこのカバーは最高😭
マリスもFatimaもライブに行っていたのでそれぞれの良さが出てて🙏
90年代のヴィジュアル系は最高
ひとみさんのハスキーな歌声が､いい味出してますね
さすが元マリスローディーバンド
He sounds like a tiny Gackt. XD
Hahahahhahahahha best comment ever
Dude your like every where! LOL
MALICE MIZERカバーの中で一番すき
I prefer this version, it sounds even more theatrical yet powerful. It's like an even better song!

Malice Mizer, the legendary, the best in Japan
I definitely love the violin in this! Everything about this is amazing; Moran did a spectacular job!
Of course nothing will ever beat the originals ♥
Beautiful cover🖤
This is in my top 3 favorite Malice Mizer songs. The band did a good cover on it. Becoming a Moran fan now, this is very pretty.
Never heard of this band before but that singer nailed Gackts range 👌
Moranというバンドは名前しか知りませんでしたが、いい音を出しますね。カバーとしても非常にいいと思います。
これガチで歌詞もＰＶもヤバいからね。
ディープステート、ﾍﾟﾄﾞﾌｪﾘｱ、悪魔崇拝、アドレナクロム、カバールを調べるとそのヤバさが分かる
これを地上波で流していた事が世の中が腐敗しているのがよく分かる、
Nice and beautiful cover for a GREAT song.
そうですよね。Illuminatiはとてもむずかしい曲と思いますのでこれは上手はカバーですね～ とにかく、マリスはまだ最高と思うわよｗｗｗ
I really like this cover. The violin and the intro is amazing, I can't help but separate the cover and the original since I'm in love with both versions.
I keep getting surprised with how much I like Mizer Covers. I've got to get the CRUSH albums!!! My jaw unhinged on this one as well. Loved the D cover of Gekka no Yasoukyoku too.
Very well done, Moran!
great job!!! i love it ♥
Wow ! Great cover!
Out of all Visual kei covers, this is the most impressive.
What a classy cover. As an old Mizer fan I approve! Honestly the original sounds pretty dated if you go back and listen to it now.
Illuminati [P type] is still my jam tho
Dated? I dont know about that. I like this cover but it does have less impact in it.
mmmh... siendo fan de mas de 20 años, me atrevo a decir que esta buena esta version >W
Great adaptation!! Damn!
En verdad me encantó. Adoro a Moran y Malice Mizer... encontrar esto fue como lo mejor :D Sí el violín, quedó espectacular otro estilo más de Moran. Muy buen cover *w* Claro el de Malice siempre será único :3
I'm not really into Moran's original music, but I adore their covers (this and Mousou Nikki)
Qué buena versión del tema. Sin duda lograrán adaptar a su particular estilo esta canción, que sin duda es mi favorita de Malice Mizer, tanto por ser una composición de Közi, como por la temática que se aborda en la letra.
COOL!
I like this cover
OMG!!! A M A Z I N G version :O
I was expecting something different (jazzy like every Moran release) but i love it anyway! is awesome and they did it work :) I love Malice mizer and Moran! :)
WOW! I LOOOOOOVE THIS! i've seen quite a few bands completely butcher MM songs, but this is fantastic!
very Amazing....!!!!!!!
;~; this is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard...
i love this solo
I love the sound of the strings at 0:41! Great job!
OMG Hitomi singing Illuminati. Fuck yes hahah
i reaaaally like this one
Adorei, parabéns 😍🥰🤩🙏
最中、マリスのローディだったよね
これはこれで素敵なカバーでいいと思う！
これガチで歌詞もＰＶもヤバいからね。
ディープステート、ﾍﾟﾄﾞﾌｪﾘｱ、悪魔崇拝、アドレナクロム、カバールを調べるとそのヤバさが分かる
これを地上波で流していた事が世の中が腐敗しているのがよく分かる、
ボーカルは良いと思う
ただ演奏が…というのも下手とかじゃなくて、マリスのメロディが好きな身からすると世界観ぶち壊し気味というか…
同じ事を月下の夜想曲をカバーしたDでも思ったなあ
個人的に、メタル系の演奏でマリスの曲をやられるとコレジャナイ感が半端ない
Hitomi Aka Sanaka vocalist of this band, he was a roadie for Malice Mizer~ him and Kamijo then known as Shoki
I like their arrangement
ローディーなだけある！
と思うが、元が良すぎて・・
他の誰がカヴァーしても安っぽくなるのはしょうがないのかも。。
LO AMÉ ♥
Really good cover(less impact a bit but still really good). This is one of my favorite Malice mizer songs.
very good cover.. he know how to use the curves of his voice like gackt..
very good! it can't beat the original, but it is still pretty awesome, wonderful take on this song!
Fascinating, very good tone of voice, is complex to GACKT. excuse my english xddd I am Latin American, this cover I loved
I'm a hardcore MM fan, and I feel a little guilty saying that I actually like this more than the original.
I think that even Mana would like this version
it's ok me too between illuminati never was their masterpiece
良いカバーだと思います。
このバンド最近知ったけど、演奏力高いと思います
これガチで歌詞もＰＶもヤバいからね。

I was sceptical but this is amazing! Love!
great 👍😃
OMG! *w*
Wow this it's so fucking great, I was excetical but good one! Great job and good quality
Shit moran did a great job!
Oh wow, didn't expect it to be this good. I like it! The original's unbeatable tho. :D
exotico
I really like it, and I love the voice!
It's quite good instrumentally ;]
genial
lol this is the best song has released
hell yeah definitely digging this cover ^-^ though I do love the original as well, I like the Post Hardcore take on it. I just wish it was a little bit harder.
The original is better but in all honesty, Moran pulled this off so well. It's different but I still like it!
@Kimiyadori you should! lol watch the vid to, but the band has loged broke off, and if you know who Gackt is that is the band he was lead for :)
cover cochino bueno, por la cresta, me encanta
I agree
ohsomanyemotions
Ah well, I'm not really in favour with Moran's version, it's a bit harsh, in my opinion as compared to the original. But kudos to them for doing a nevertheless awesome cover ^^, the violin part is beautiful
It's really not bad for a cover, and you can tell they at least have talent and the vocals are really good
Los instrumentos estuvieron magníficos, pero la voz me pareció algo extraña ... quizás sea porque prefiero la voz de Gackt pero en general fue un buen cover ^^
Hitomi has a great voice, he resemble Gackt, but he has a personal style
I don't know the original by malice mizer but I think this song is pretty good ^___^
I had to stop this half way through, personally I hate it. Illuminati is my all time fave song so I was dubious about it but... idk, I just couldn't finish it.
+xcrimsonstarx its an interesting interpretation, but unique as it is in comparison its easy to see why some might not like it. as a looooong time MM fan, i appreciate this equally but to be frank i'll give it extra points because it actually sounds like they're saying "communion with nimrod" this time.
+plaguebearer That's fair, like you said it is interesting, there's just something about it I don't like, not sure I can exactly put my finger on what though!
MM are my fave band so I'm probabloy a little biased however I thought D's Version of Gekka no Yasukyoku was amazing!
It loses so much without the driving drums setting the pace, as in the original
why all the new band boys almost, are so tiny xd?
I absolutely love the instrumental of this, but Gackt's voice would go sooo much better with it...
@BiyouAphrodite are you KIDDING me?!
nyeeee :( no hay como gackt...
osom
Not what I've expected, but nevertheless great cover.
Wow... I am bad if i like this better than the orginal?
Uhm... Maybe they had the most difficult song to cover. You know... Malice Mizer were... WOW (You understand, right? D:). Ok, anyway... This version is quite good. I personally like the vocals, the violins, the drums... But I find it waaaaay too different from the original one. I think this is more... uh, "serious" :/
I've been listening to this for a while and at first I did like it alot. I actually heard this a few years back and did enjoy it ... But there was something stopping me from fully enjoying it...
I couldn't figure what at first until now.
I love malice mizer , all eras from tetsu to Gackt to Klaha. Personally I have always like klaha more so it's not like I prefer Gackt's voice over this singer because I'm biast to him . It's that I feel Gackt's charisma always slipped through his voice and with this one I don't feel it.
The vocalist sounds somewhat like him, just in the least bit, however he is missing that spice that Gackt has. Despite me not liking the guy I have to give him his points and admit Gackt is talented in his art, and this is in no way a jab to the cover vocalist because i don't know this band to even speak good or bad about it as a whole. Now for the instrumental. Holy fuck! Now that is top tier. I full-heartedly enjoyed the instrumental here more than the original song. The touches of violin were especially good along with the guitar. Overall I give that a good 10/10.
@BiyouAphrodite Ich bin ganz deiner Meinung :)
It's kinda good,I liked it. But of course Malice Mizer is way better.
Um, not really, everyone has their tastes, the original has a lighter bouncy rhythm, maybe that's not your type?
This one is not that bad. Not that bad as for example Mizerable covered by Aoi...
I think it's interesting. like it. Though, the original is still better. Well, it is a cover.
The song is good, buuut i personally don't like it, the original one is much better FOR MYSELF but this is a good job.
nice, but the Malice Mizer inimitable, they more better...
they took what made ILLUMINATI so cool (the electronic influence AND THE WHIPS) out and puked out some shitty heavy nu-metal try hard crap..-_-
Yeah, that was atrocious.
A for effort, I guess.
im not malice mizer fan i just like some of their songs but i had to say - this cover is horrible, there are no emotions, no passion of original
Muy mala la canción; pierde todo el encanto eroticosexualsalvajeviolento que tiene la original ;C... que por cierto era lo bueno de la canción
