Gackt = Youthful,brass,joy seeking. A beautiful vampire PRINCE. In other words,he is Lestat. Klaha = Dark,mature,calm and gentle. A beautiful vampire GENTLEMAN. In other way,he is Louis. You can't compare them,since they're two halves of a man - his younger self and his mature one. They both are the epitome of Malice Mizer's happier period and trying time.
@@blackgwater9407 Hi there friend, it's a joy seeing that my comment still get replied after ages like this. Actually, I haven't been following news and gave up the hope of Malice Mizer ever reuniting but their music has a special corner in my mind. I really care about Klaha, hoping he has a good life, wherever he is now.
I dont know whats wrong with people klaha has an amazing voice Its deep, smooth and has an opera feel , its beautiful, personally I love the klaha era the most, Bara no seidou is my favorite album, Aside from that I always wonder what if kami were there? I feel as a drummer he would have fitted beautifully with this era given that the music gives alot of emphasis to the instrumental, I would have loved to see him be there, unfortunately thats impossible, But its just a thought,
Ikr. Klaha can sing genres which Gackt can't (feel free to disagree). One thing is for sure, I know I will cringe if I hear Gackt sing a song like Shiroi hada...(too lazy to type the wrong title;), but Klaha rocked those songs like a boss.
Depends on who you listen to. It's the weird thing about Malice Mizer: They went from Gothic-era French styles in their look and sound, to being the drastically unique band that Gackt lead them to. After poor Kami died and Klaha took over for him, of course the band was a little depressed and still greiving. If you pay attention, all throughout the rest of the band's life together they did have a really dark, heavy feeling about them. This stuck most to Mana, who still seems happy to be dark.
This video is ripped from a TV interview where they showed this. It was planned to come on DVD on "Gardenia ~de l'image~", but it got delayed and then canceled. I really wonder what happened to that, maybe the computer crashed and they lost the files? It's kinda sad that we will never see this in good quality and the "behind the scenes" that would also have probably been on the DVD, but I'm so happy that someone decided to record that Gardenia TV interview, so we still have this.
Translation of the lyrics in English "The sun starts to rise over the misty hillside And the darkness of night fades away in sunlight Lying next to me your eyelashes flutter and open slowly As the garden you live in is bathed by soft daylight I see only you and me Among the sun's pale rays glistening you stop and turn to me And look on curiously at the flower I'm holding Where you to take in your hand, and draw it to your chest you'd see The flower blossoms to match your beauty Gardenia...my sweet darling, deep in your cherib's eyes I see Everything I ever held dear to me I'll take you somewhere new with me, and together we'll always be Enfolded in my arms so gently...I'll never let go Just like that day before I see this dream continuing And from the forest in my mind, a new world slowly winds I turn again to meet you and in this new garden, in your hand The flowers blossom touched by your beauty Gardenia...my sweet darling, deep in your cherib's eyes I see Everything I ever held dear to me I'll take you somewhere new with me, and together we'll always be Enfolded in my arms so gently...I'll never let go As the daybreak enfolds us, I whisper softly to you I love you my darling, my Gardenia..."
I've always loved this song. Klaha's voice is absolutely amazing, like flawless smooth dark chocolate, and this band is just so beautiful. It's been five years, and I'm so thankful for being introduced to them.
i'm a Gackt fan.. but i think it was probably good that he left the band. Klaha is a brilliant vocal.. and Gackt got his own music too which isn't half bad.
You know... One of the things I could say I'd regret from my life is the fact that I never heard Malice Mizer play live. Sure I get to hear them on their LPs and what have you, yet I feel slightly empty due to the fact that I never saw them live. :'(
same here. A lot of their greatness was actually in the lives. A lot of theatrical lives and performances. Alas i was only but the age of 3 in 2000 when the band was put on hiatus, lol shame.
Holy crap...I've only just started exploring the Visual Kei scene (past and present) I've heard of Malice Mizer and seen the Gackt era and I think they are an awesome band. This is my first time seeing Klaha, and all I can say is I stared at the screen with my mouth half open for a while. Beautiful man, anyone?
Personally, I love it. Especially since Mana doesn't really go over board with it. I love it when he acts all cutesy on stage like a young girl =) He just kinda... side steps around and claps his hands. I think what really endears him to people is that he isn't in your face about it... it just seems very natural, there really isn't even a "shock" factor about it, for instance, like there someone named Chris Crocker. I'm so glad he has his own band =) I love his compositional style.
Nog steeds aan 't luisteren, wie ook?, blij deze unieke muziekstijl gevonden te hebben, 真夜中に交わした約束 ( de belofte die we in het holst van de nacht hebben uitgewisseld) blijft ook 'n prachtig lied deed me altijd denken aan die oude Dracula/nosferatu films, mooie pv, deze mag er ook wezen.
I found some old cd's and put them in my car's radio - this song was on one of them and I listened to it today - now I can't get it out of head :D maaaany years ago I learned the lyrics to this and I still know 70% of it XD
What's wrong with An Cafe? I mean sure they aren't as articulate or detailed as Malice Mizer but they aren't horrible. And people have different tastes, someone who likes upbeat things would rather listen to An Cafe than Malice Mizer. And your more gothic or darker people like Malice Mizer. You're basically comparing apples and oranges. It doesn't make Malice Mizer look better by dissing An Cafe. And btw I love both very much. Maybe Malice Mizer a bit more but still
coolieghoulie N Well, you can´t deny that An Cafe look quite fake compared to Malice Mizer who were constantly evolving themselves and also legendary trendsetters. They had done something that nobody has ever done before them. Sorry to break it to you, but An Cafe don´t do anything else than trying to be "moe" and acting cute all the time. Now tell me how fake cutesy gets so much more views than truly unique and beautiful art?
Why are so many people complaining about their style? If you don't like their style, don't look, if you don't like their music- DON'T LISTEN. But stop insulting this band just because YOU don't like them.
Klaha-sama will always be my favorite of the MM singers. i wish him happiness wherever he is ^_^ Mana looked like a little doll in this video. He really is lovely
i just finished watching an interview with Gackt and i didn't know much about this group but they are great and holy shit uploaded september 2005 i really got nostalgia just now
My second favorite song of malice mizer, after ma cherie. I love my master mana-sama, i will never find any man in the world who has the same amount of quality like he does. someday i'll meet him in person.
Rarely have I seen such wise words being spoken in this narrow minded world, and especially on youtube. You, sir/ma'am, have my utter respect! Oh, and of course the vid and song are stunningly beautiful as well. Hurray for for wonderful Malice Mizer and gorgeous Mana-sama! ^^
Ocelot Shalashaska We were surprised because completely different from the sense of Japanese.(Might mean is not transmitted it because it is machine translation. I'm sorry) I think it probably become such ranking if it was Japanese. 1,Gackt 2,Toshi.........3,Kamijo 4,Klaha 5,Juka To be honest, Kamijo and Klaha and Juka is no difference. So it to so much there is no name recognition in Japan. In particular, in Visual kei Ryuichi (LUNA SEA), Gackt (former MALICE MIZER), Yasu (Janne Da Arc & Acid Black Cherry), Kyo (DIR EN GREY), Mao (SID) is a popular with high singing ability. I of course Hyde also is very popular, it is not the impression that good singer.
Mi top 3 canciones de Malice Mizer son: 1-Gardenia -Au Revoir 3-Sadness Una de cada era, perp Gardenia tiene el top 1 porque el sentimiento que te transmite es contagioso, un sentimiento amoroso/trágico/nostálgico, simplemente un remolino de emociones.
i loveeddddd all of the vocalists that were in malice mizer, TETSU, GACKT AND KLAHA they are awesome, but now on moi dix mois, mana is great, JUKA WAS GREAT AND SETH'S GREAT yeahhhh i love visual kei
dragonoftheshadow1 Tetsu's era was incredible and unfortunately a lot of people forget about him. I always accidentally find myself thinking 'what would Malice Mizer have become if Tetsu would've stayed?' Still, Klaha has one of the greatest voices of all time in my opinion.
gardenia is such a beautiful song!! it makes me wanna cry!! =') esp. the second chorus(violins and all that in the bg) and the way they stopped and continue the music at 3.05
I'm finding it quite surprising that nobody has mentioned Kami-San as of yet, like the instrument he played I think he was the heart of the band. Don't get me wrong I love this song and what Klaha brings to it but Kami was still important. Gackt was good for the band too but he's doing much better as a solo artist.
I have my friend to thank a whole bunch for introducing me to this kind of music, Mana's music in particular. She dresses kind of in Lolita gothic sometimes and her outfits are really pretty. I like the music, and I looove their style. I could try and wear it but probably wouldn't pull it off...it's nice just looking at all their different outfits. Thanks for uploading these!
Aún no comprendo el por qué Malice se separó, sus últimos singles (Gardenia, Beast of Blood y Garnet) mostraban un estilo diferente al Bara no Seidou, era un nuevo inició, en fin, la historia de este grupo termina allí
Aunque tenían planeado continuar con Malice Mizer y sacar un nuevo album para el año siguiente, tras varias reuniones se dieron cuenta de que las metas de cada integrante ya habían cambiado y eran muy diferentes a comparación de un tiempo atrás, en aquel momento era necesaria la separación para poder cumplirlas. Fue así que decidieron poner una pausa indefinida en Malice Mizer.
Klaha is so romantic and his voice is so romantic^^he looks like a prince. i hope he gets better so that Malice Mizer can reunite this year, I heard they will be reuniting^^
mana cross dresses for the image, as most of the songs require a "girl" role. The band makes their songs into I suppose "plays" and they all tell a story. Klaha is the Singer, and he's supposed to be a gentleman, hense teh arostocratic attire. Kozi is a red pierrot, Yu~ki I suppose is also a gentleman in this, and Mana is the lovely girl. The small child Im guessing is Gardenia. Also, try Beast of Blood, thats a good song you might like and its in english mostly. Moi dix Mois is Mana's new band
