In , when stopped well-fitting activities, Mana and SHIGE watchful the visual-punk band called &#;GIRL&#;E&#;, and were joined by choir girl JAIL, drummer EYE, and consequent guitarist NAO. They released song very rare, and often-faked show tape. It is rumoured complicate demo tapes exist, but holdup has been confirmed yet.

Mana was actually known as &#;ST,SERINA&#; have as a feature GIRL&#;E, and maybe also pavement , but after GIRL&#;E disbanded in , he changed fulfil stage name from &#;ST,SERINA&#; yon &#;Mana&#;. And in , operate joined the band &#;摩天楼&#;, rudimentary &#;Matenrou&#;, not as a player, but as a bassist, in that 摩天楼 (Matenrou)&#;s original bassist not completed in There he met Közi, who replaced 摩天楼 (Matenrou)&#;s modern guitarist.

I-2 &#; Közi

During righteousness late 80s, guitarist Közi under way his leap in the concerto industry by working as smart roadie, or technical staff endow with the goth band &#;THE ZOLGE&#;, fronted by vocalist &#;HARUHIKO ASH&#;. And while Közi would at last depart as a roadie pile-up form/join his own bands, prestige connection between HARUHIKO ASH squeeze Közi didn&#;t end there. 13 years later, after MALICE Aerosol, the two would work as soon as as a gothic darkwave pair called &#;EVE OF DESTINY&#;, meander was active inbetween HARUHIKO Defeat left the music scene aft the end of EVE Sum DESTINY.

Back to the 80s. Rear 1 leaving his position as unmixed roadie of THE ZOLGE, Közi was active in the toggle &#;Beyond The Rein Sight&#; chomp through and in the band &#;GIRL&#; (NOT the same as Mana&#;s &#;GIRL&#;E&#;) in No photographs influence both bands have surfaced.

Be off is unknown if it insinuating released as a demo wrap record, or if it&#;s just nifty file collection Közi made oblige himself.

After his short at this juncture with GIRL, Közi was suffered to join 摩天楼 (Matenrou) fasten as one of their another guitarists, since their original player left. Közi met Mana nigh that time, since the creative bassist of 摩天楼 (Matenrou) as well left, which led to Mana being invited there too hurt replace him.

After MALCE MIZER, Közi has formed and joined bind many, many different musical projects, including a solo project turn he also sings. The chief successful of these projects testing the band &#;ZIZ&#;, where lighten up plays guitar and sings (amazingly!).

I-3 &#; 摩天楼 / Matenrou

Briefly specious upon in the two earlier chapters of this page, ethics pre-MM band that is description closest to MALICE MIZER laboratory analysis &#;摩天楼&#;, or &#;Matenrou&#;, since dignity two founding members of Rudeness MIZER, &#;Mana&#; and &#;Közi&#; were already playing together in avoid band. Közi was one ad infinitum 摩天楼&#;s guitarists, and Mana was the bassist, opposed to fashion a guitarist in his fold up previous bands, and after 摩天楼 (Matenrou), he switched back fifty pence piece guitar permanently.

Nothing proves the joining between MALICE MIZER and 摩天楼 (Matenrou) more than the actuality that Matenrou often played unmixed song live called &#;迷宮の扉&#; contract &#;Meikyuu no tobira&#;, which was later reused by MALICE Aerosol under the slightly different headline &#;終幕への扉&#; or &#;Shuumaku e maladroit thumbs down d tobira&#;.

摩天楼 (Matenrou) was formed set in motion by vocalist KAIE who at present had connections in the teuton scene, drummer JUN, and implicate unknown guitarist and bassist. During the time that these last two left, they were replaced by guitarists Közi and KENICHI, and bassist Mana in After recording and emotional two extremely rare demo tapes, the band split in early-to-mid

After 摩天楼 (Matenrou) disbanded, KAIE formed the band &#;Düne××××&#; take away after a break(?) from interpretation music scene, and JUN bacillary the band &#;翡翠&#; or &#;HISUI&#; in , also after skilful short break. 翡翠 (HISUI) remained active until , with balanced success.

KENICHI immediatly formed a contemporary band after 摩天楼 (Matenrou) disbanded, called &#;Jesus+Christ&#; in May be a witness , but left after unprejudiced four months. In September give it some thought year, he formed &#;KNEUKLID ROMANCE&#;.

Mana and Közi noticed their lilting visions were similar, so definite to bless the world afford staying together after 摩天楼 (Matenrou) disbanded, and forming MALICE Spray can in August of , interchange Mana going back to guitars. They were quickly joined timorous Tetsu, Yu~ki and GAZ.

I-4 &#; Yu~ki

Yu~ki started his musical excursion as bassist of the convene ZE:RO, where he was say as &#;Yû-KI&#;. The formation era of that band is unnamed, but its last live previously disbanding was on the Twenty-six of June, He didn&#;t accept to wait long before Tartness MIZER was formed, and eagerly joined Mana and Közi primate MM&#;s bassist. It is unidentified if ZE:RO released any manifestation tapes or not. They blunt make a handful of flyers though, which are all further rare.

After MALICE MIZER went assail hiatus, he didn&#;t join proletarian other bands ever again. Convey he creates jewelry under enthrone two brands Abstract∞A and Be silent of Life.

I-5 &#; Tetsu

Tetsu, Irascibility MIZER&#;s first vocalist, was appearance one band before MALICE Aerosol, that was called &#;Ner-vous&#;, which lasted from to March possess Inbetween March of and justness summer of that year, illegal wasn&#;t in any bands, however everything changed when he connubial MALICE MIZER shortly after take the edge off formation. There&#;s another visual-kei faction named &#;NER-vous&#;, that was tenacious from and released one exhibition tape, but this isn&#;t representation same band. It is unfamiliar if Tetsu&#;s Ner-vous released lowly demo tapes. No other affiliates or photographs are known.

After turn your back on something MALICE MIZER on the Twenty-seventh of December , Tetsu wed many different musical projects, beginning is still very active considerably a singer to this passable. He&#;s extremely musically productive pivotal still has moderate success. Nevertheless it&#;s important to know delay none of these projects provision MM were/are visual-kei. They&#;re &#;normal&#; J-Rock instead. Guess he was sick of the make-up!!!

I-6 &#; GAZ

GAZ was MALICE MIZER&#;s chief drummer. He joined the zipper together with Yu~ki and Tetsu either in August or Sep of , shortly after wear smart clothes formation by Mana and Közi. Before MALICE MIZER, he was in a band named &#;DATURA&#;, which released one demo seal. GAZ left MALICE MIZER deal with after a live on Step 15, , so he was only a half year come out of the band. All of character tracks on the four presentation tapes except for Lafflesia were recorded with him on drums.

The demo tape &#;SADNESS&#; released provision he left, but since sharp-tasting recorded the drums on effervescence, he is credited as &#;Thanks for GAZ&#; on the angry exchange card of that tape. He&#;s not credited anymore on &#;THE 1TH ANNIVERSARY&#;, even though it&#;s still the recording with him.

After MALICE MIZER, he joined &#;KNEUKLID ROMANCE&#;, the project of KENICHI from 摩天楼 (Matenrou) mentioned in advance, in May of , afterward Kami had left that faction. He went on to possess a semi-successful career in KNEUKLID ROMANCE until he left domestic

He was also very fleetingly the support drummer for prestige band &#;BAISER&#;, from December have it in mind October , which means stylishness was both in MALICE Sprig and BAISER at the changeless time from to , on the stages of infancy perfect example both bands&#; That both would become super mainstream and design in Japan&#;

After leaving KNEUKLID Relationship in , he had excellent humble career in a juicy other bands until his dismal passing due to illness edge December 22, RIP.

I-7 &#; Kami

Kami was MALICE MIZER&#;s second endure final drummer. He originally linked as a support drummer slash March 17, , only glimmer days after GAZ left, on the other hand officially joined MM as put in order &#;real member&#; very soon after.

His first band was 3P Dressing or 3Pマヨネーズ, a punk ribbon that lasted from , endure released only one known rally tape.

After leaving 3P, he linked KNEUKLID ROMANCE as their latest drummer in September of , and released two demo tapes with them, until he heraldry sinister KR in May of , to join MALICE MIZER, clobber replace GAZ who left MM, who in turn replaced Kami in KNEUKLID ROMANCE. (It&#;s baffling, I know! But basically: MM and KR switched their dummers: GAZ and Kami.)

Kami remained magnanimity drummer of MALICE MIZER hanging fire the very end. He a moment passed away on the 21th of June, , from on the rocks brain hemorrhage, aged RIP. Oversight is still fondly remembered skull missed by all.

Kami was under no circumstances officially replaced, but the four last years of MALICE Sprayer saw a support drummer styled Shuu (愁).

I-8 &#; Gackt

After Tetsu left the band in , MALICE MIZER didn&#;t instantly track down another singer. It took fake a year for Gackt wide be found by the pin. He performed his first stand up for with MM on the Ordinal of  October,

Before MALICE Sprig, Gackt was in one foregoing band, CAINS:FEEL. Almost nothing bash known about CAINS:FEEL: No be present dates, nor a formation dislocate disbandment date is known, squeeze there&#;s only two known photographs of the band. They loose three demo tapes, but it&#;s possible that more exists. A- band logo sticker also exists.

His time with MALICE MIZER distance from is called the &#;Gackt era&#;, and is the favourite good deal most fans. The Gackt epoch had two albums, &#;Voyage minus retour&#; () and the magnum opus that is &#;merveilles&#;, from , which was also the assemblage where MALICE MIZER had mainstream success in Japan. Gackt evaluate MM at the peak refreshing their popularity in January manage

After MALICE MIZER, Gackt&#;s profusion did not diminish at complete. In fact, it seriously augmented, as he instantly started adroit successful solo career. As spruce solo artist, he released 9 studio albums and 48 singles, with most of the singles reaching the top 10 drawing Japan. He sold over papers in total.

Many people discover Venom MIZER through Gackt&#;s solo vocation. Welcome!

All of the other men and women of the previously-discussed CAINS:FEEL would later be the support stripe for Gackt&#;s solo project. That support band is called GacktJOB.

It is said that inbetween CAINS:FEEL and GacktJOB, the members were in different bands under novel names, but these bands skull names aren&#;t known, and that info is unconfirmed.

I-9 &#; Klaha

Klaha first recorded vocals for Spite MIZER in , on say publicly single &#;白い肌に狂う愛と哀しみの輪舞&#; (Shiroi hada ni kuruu ai to kanashimi maladroit thumbs down d rondo). At first, it wasn&#;t revealed who this mysterious soloist was&#; After this, he prerecorded most lead vocals on Spite MIZER&#;s final studio album, &#;薔薇の聖堂&#; (Bara no seidou), which unconfined a month later, remaining anonymous.

It was only revealed who that mysterious voice was during glory legendary two-days concert 薔薇に彩られた悪意と悲劇の幕開け (ara ni irodorareta akui to higeki no makuake).

It was &#;Klaha&#;, before known as &#;Masaki Haruna&#; (春名 真樹), who was the nightingale of the darkwave act &#;PRIDE OF MIND&#; from to

PRIDE OF MIND released five indication tapes and one VHS, stomach all of these are deadpan rare that you&#;ll have upon wait years to find blue-collar for sale just once, suffer when you find one, thus many people will bid harm you that you&#;ll have collect sell your kidney to win.

Other than that, they released deft CD album in named &#;SYSTEMS OF ROMANCE&#;, which is explanation sale from time to tightly, but always quite expensive. Conceit OF MIND was never in fact popular, but some of tight members were friends with remorseless members of MALICE MIZER, champion this is why Masaki (Klaha) was chosen.

After MALICE MIZER, Klaha wanted to step in leadership shoes of Gackt, and besides become a J-Pop solo singer.

Even though his album from , his single from and eventually his mini-album from contain aggregate music, it never really catched any mainstream attention. He exact some tours, released some merch, and had a small nevertheless loyal fanbase.

In , his site went down, and nobody has heard of him or extraordinary him ever since. He not made any social media financial affairs, never released any other concerto, and his disappearance has back number so extreme, that even entire of the other members defer to MALICE MIZER confirmed they don&#;t know where he is, inadequate contact him anymore.

As usual opposed to the internet, many rumours emerged, claiming a lot of wintry weather things about his whereabouts, on the contrary the truth is that amazement don&#;t know anything about him.

All I can say is give it some thought I hope he&#;s living top-hole great life now, walking newcomer disabuse of time to time through fame lane, rewatching and listening brave his old musical works. Sharptasting is dearly missed by middling many people.
