君は誠実な moralist
綺麗な指でボクをなぞる
僕は純粋な terrorist
キミの想うがままに革命が起きる
恋に縛られた specialist
長い爪を立てられたボク
愛を確かめたい egoist
キミの奥までたどりつきたい
君の顔が遠ざかる
Ah ボクがボクで無くなる前に
愛してもいいかい? 揺れる夜に
あるがママでいいよ もっと 深く
狂おしいくらいに慣れた唇が
溶け合うほどに
ボクは キミの Vanilla
「ナンテ気取りすぎ」
そんな cool なキミは plastic
熱い眼差しには ecologist
その燃えるくちづけがもどかしい
歪んでいくキミの顔が
Ah 僕がボクでいられマスように
愛してもいいかい? 揺れる夜に
あるがママでいいよ もっと 速く
苦しいくらいに 濡れた唇が
言葉なんてもう
君と僕 not burning love
Ah いくつ朝を迎えれば
Ah 夜は終わるのだろうか
Ah 空に散りばめられた
Ah 白い花に囲まれて逝く
愛してもいいかい? 揺れる夜に
あるがママでいいよ
「I've seen a tail」
悔しいくらいに
キミにハマってるのに
A crew sees crying knees
I wanna need, not betray!
愛してもいいかい? 揺れる夜に
あるがママでいいよ もっと 君を
狂おしいくらいに慣れた腰つきが
溶け合うほどに
君は ボクの 番人だ

meteordreams it is so weird to be listening to “Vanilla” and enter a chat where everyone is talking about kids and grandkids and when’s a good age to have children. How the fandom has grown. Still, Gackt is Gackt and this song never grows old... unlike us....

I like him better with dark hair but he is beautiful here too another beautiful Japanese singer he gets better with age
MyDearKyoKun
Oh. My. God. I have loved Malice Mizer and Gackt since I was 14, and it's as if time has frozen inside of my head and that I only realise now, at the age of 26, that I'm OLDER than the MM members were when they were at their height. Time sure is scary.
Jazzzitjazz :V she ready
It was so long ago... I remember I didn’t know what it said and people out of the kindness of their hearts would translate and put romanji lyrics in the comments .. old YouTube 😭🙏🏻❤️❤️

So this is what Cloud was dreaming about while he was in a cryogenic tank for a couple of years.
