Hey! If you liked this playlist you'd like to know that i've made a part two !!!

[BellaRage]

For people that are new here, this is a brief backstory. So Malice Mizer has three "eras". One that is punk/goth then this one which you are seeing now which is kind of the Baroque/commercial period and then the completely gothed out/metal/industrial period after this . The singer of the first version was Tetsu ( probably the only singer I couldn't really get into...very punk-ish and all over the place ). The next era was this one which had the singer Gackt who sang on two albums ( this album was their biggest success)...however he abruptly left the band to pursue a solo career ( and he is currently one of the biggest superstars in Japan today although his ego is through the roof...and he also claims he is a 400 year old vampire) and soon after the drummer of this video (Kami) died of a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage (he is now an eternal member). The remaining three members regrouped but had no drummer or singer. They returned completely gothed out ( think of harpsichords and pipe organs and vampires, dark choirs...some really atmospheric stuff). They came out with a video and small box set to honor their deceased drummer. Soon after they recruited a new singer Klaha ...who also looks like a vampire. The music they created with him is definitely darker and ominous. The band went on hiatus in 2001 and the singer from this era just kinda disappeared off the face of the earth which is weird as hell. The leader of this band is Mana ( the one dressed in blue in this video). He (yes it is a he) directs and controls every aspect of this band. He does not speak in public and will instead whisper to other members to talk for him...he will basically stare into your soul with no expression. He is extremely respected as being revolutionary in the visual KEI movement...( He is also known as Mana-sama in Japan). He also has a very dark goth metal band called Mois dix Moi. The other members are Yu-ki (bass)-often dresses as a vampire in later stuff... and Kozi (guitar). They also made a feature length vampire movie (they don't speak- it's like a silent movie with subtitles and constant music in the background which comes from their last album). They also have a mini movie which is part of this video here ( it kinda shows how Gackt got to the point of holding the dead female). Crazy stuff but really good because there's really nothing like it. Every song is a different style. Hope this helps new listeners.

i am a vampire, an attractive mysterious vampire, living in solitude in my castle.

i have a glass of wine in one hand (i don’t drink), and a cigarette in the other (i don’t smoke.)

i squint out into the distance and the wind howls, blowing my monochrome victorian dress synchronous to the rhythm of the night…

starting with Aegean was 100% a strategic movement, and it worked

[kyuuketsukinonamida]

listening to malice mizer isn't enough i need it playing in my brain 24/7 via a microchip

[sintiac]

I’m so envious of people that got to experience the years of Malice Mizer. 😭

[FrillyDisaster]

I’m so glad Harajuku music and fashion is coming back! Malice Mizer is so iconic

Aegean will always take me back to 2017 Shibuya, in the pouring rain, with a raspberry latte. The timing of this song popping up on shuffle was stunning. I probably looked crazy, grinning and crying as I got more and more soaked, while people passed by under their umbrellas. I just felt so happy to be alive in that moment.

I’ve become absolutely obsessed with mm especially the first song, I’ve played it over and over and over again it’s the most beautiful song I’ve heard in a long while, makes me long for an estranged lover that I never had, this band was really something else, it’s only been a 4 days since I came across them and I’m hook line and sinker for them

[clol]

Had a nose job. Right now i am in so much pain and uncomfort but this playlists and malice mizer cheer me up so much! Thanks

[WarWarriorx]

i love this rebirth of malice mizer, i was like 5 years old listening to this, because of my older brothers, now im 24 and still listening to MM. Au Revoir is still my favorite song, i listen to my childhood in it. I cant even describe how beautiful is it to me, its more than a song.

For some reason Malice Mizer playlists have been popping up on my feed and I am not upset by it. Ma Chérie was the first song I heard last yeear and I'm literally in love with them. This playlist is amazing keep up the great work!

I listened to Gekka no yasouyoku for the first time in November of 2022, ever since I fell in love with the members and their music, I love malice mizer

[aureliiq]

Edit: I've been looping this non-stop when I study and I STUDY SO MUCH BETTER. I love Malice Mizer even more now :)

[Sayuchq]

why does this make me feel like a vampire remembering the years of thier life and finally apriciating everything they expirienced after years of living with hatered and not caring about anything until this moment, seconds before they gets killed and they are very much aware of that fact smiling to themselves and slowly embracing death under the soft light of the moon. (My poor grammar really takes you out of the vibe of this comment)

[Bangthedoldrumz]

Aegen is such a beautiful song, I wish I could've seen it live
