Malice Mizer

Malice Mizer is a Visual Kei band that was formed in 1992 by Közi and Mana. The band started off with the lineup of Mana, Közi, Tetsu, Yu-Ki, and Gaz. In 1993 Gaz left to join Kneuklid Romance and Kneuklid Romance's drummer Kami joined Malice Mizer. A few days after they released Memoire DX their Singer, Tetsu left Malice Mizer to take a different direction in work. After almost a year of inactivity Malice Mizer recruited Gackt as their new Vocalist. When they released Uruwashiki Kamen no Shoutaijou in 1995 Malice Mizer started to differentiate themselves from other bands, when live Mana and Közi put down their guitars and they performed a dance routine. Gackt left Malice Mizer in 1999 but unfortunately a few months after Gackt left, Kami died in his sleep of a subarachnoid hemorrhage at the age of 27. Malice Mizer never replaced Kami so instead they started to only use support drums. Since Malice Mizer didn't have an official vocalist after Gackt left, in 2000 they recruited Klaha. But in 2001 Malice Mizer decided to go their own separate ways, they referred to it as a hiatus to not exclude the possibility of a reformation. Since 2010 Mana, Közi, and Yu-Ki have preformed together several times.
