LadyLovelyLocks : what kind of music does Malice Mizer play?, and i havent heard from Klaha either...
Well, Malice Mizer is a visual rock band, wich means that they dress up REALLY wildly. And they wear tons of make-up. They're music is very romantic and beautiful. It sounds, to me, like a mix of rock or metal and Baroque style music (I love the fact that they use harpsichords in their music).
They sing about romance, death, pain, and vampires mostly. Their singers have always been very very skilled. I think Klaha is the best, I wasn't surprised when I found out that he's a big fan of opera music.
Their outfits go with the music too. They sometimes dress baroque style. The bass player Yu`ki (my favorite) usually dresses like a vampire and he usually wears long curly wigs. The leader/guitar player Mana always dresses like a woman (and he can act more like a girl than most girls! LOL). The second guitar player Kozi is the strangest and he has the scariest outfits of all. I think the coolest thing about him is that he usually doesn't look real. He looks like a puppet or doll, the way he moves and plays guitar, it's so... strange. They've had three singers (Tetsu, Gackt, and Klaha) and the only thing I can say about them is they are all awsome and very different from each other.
One down side is that if you don't know Japanese (like me) then you'll have to just appreciate their pretty music, or go on the internet and find translations. But since Klaha joined the band, they have made a couple of songs in english.
I would die to go see one of their concerts, they put on a hell of a show. I believe that each of their shows has a story to it. I've seen a lot of clips of them and it looked like they were putting on a play. Their videos are awsome, and they've even made two movies. Silent movies, so you wouldn't have to worry about understanding them. Of course, no one can really understand them anyway.
Sound strange?
They kind of grow on you after awhile.
I recomend giving them a go. If their style suits your fancy, when you watch their videos you kind of find yourself lost in them. Whenever I was having a hard time with... the world and friends and stuff I would always watch them in order to forget about all that stuff and escape into their fantasy.
Sorry that's so long, but you can't really describe Malice Mizer in one or two sentences. Unless I just say that their a gothic/baroque rock band that looks really cool. But I like to be vivid. Now if all of you people's well-roundedness hasn't increased then you can't blame me!
By the way, Mocika, what do you mean when you say you haven't heard from Klaha? Have you heard of him?
