I really can't stand most of Moi Dix Mois, but I can't help but adore Mana. I went through this BIG Malice Mizer thing in the seventh grade, so...uh...maybe it's nostalgia. I dunno. I used to have pictures of him (& the others, but mostly Mana) all over my walls. (That's just one corner, there were a bunch of collages like that everywhere. My room doesn't look like that anymore, though. I don't look like that anymore either.)

Regardless, my favorite Malice Mizer era is definitely when Tetsu was the vocalist. & Klaha comes in second favorite. (I like a lot of the Gackt-era music, but I can't stand Gackt. Soooo ridiculous...)

& I also enjoy Eve of Destiny, Velvet Eden, and Due'le Quartz a lot. Besides that, I never really got that heavily into Visual Kei...I guess Kana MIGHT count, but she's more general EGL.

I agree, Kami was amazing...have you seen the Voyage tour performance of Regret? It starts out with Gackt soloing on the piano, but then Kami comes in and it is really beautiful--it makes me cry every time. (It's on youtube if you haven't seen it-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruVc_fKWOuk )

& I also agree that Klaha's voice is ridiculously sexy. Especially when he hits those weird high notes that should totally be out of his range, like in Garnet.

Visual Kei=the other part of life. next to utena and food.

Dir en grey is my favorite JRock//Visual Kei group of all time.
how cliche, but still so true.

Mana is basically GOD.
I love Malice Mizer. Moi Dix Mois as well.

If you open a cafe, you should call it Antique Cafe ^-^
[[me=lame fan]]
I'd want to work there.

Sorry for butting in on the conversation ;-;

I used to be really into visual j-rock. I loved Gacket and Malice Mitzer (early stuff) and Mana (I have this thing for cross dressing). I still like it quite a bit, but I'm almost an exclusive Gacket girl now, and I like punk-ish stuff. J-rock visual culture is really the best, most attractive thing for me in Japanese pop culture. It blends all the wierd stuff I love together.

i liked duel jewel...cause they were at anime expo a couple years ago...same with puffy ami yumi....i've listen to em before teen titan craze and so i got both CDs at AX at the time sooo yeah i dont listen too much of anything unless they are anime soundtracks or game music

I'm not a huge J-music fan but Malice Mizer is simply yey...

I like Gackt era and Klaha era both ô_o i mean, yes, Gackt is such a playboy, fanservice with Mana on stage (and leader clothes, behold the power of extra-long nails, and Syunikiss!!! ) but.... Klaha era is just more estetic and clean, Gardenia is beautiful and Beast of Blood is one of my favourites. Also, Mayonakani kawashita yakusoku movie is just.. lol xD vampires! gays! church + travestis = WOAH! xDD burning people! And opera music, is just... great (Y) And Klaha is really nice u_u

Obviously i miss Kami in Klaha era, but what are we going to do, in Gackt era what they were wearing reminds me a bazilian carnival.

Apart of Malice Mizer... i kinda like a couple of songs of Miyavi, and the video clip of the Magikaru Bokusu (Magical Box) of Phsyco~le~cemu, just that xD

Klaha is not creepy, i mean... have you seen Gackt nails?? is like.. don't mess with the nails! D:

I WISH they could re-make Illuminati's video with Klaha that would be awesome.. but i have to say that Kami in that video was just THE BEST....

Groawr XD I will never forget when he was a purple pirate 8D!


See? Klaha is not creppy û_u he's really nice, i like him ;_; but he is suffering cancer right now >_>

AND D: without make up....
