After going through three vocalists and three distinctive periods of musical and visual style, the wildly successful group went on "hiatus" December 11th, 2001.
MALICE MIZER's first era, the Tetsu era, lasted from 1992 until 1994. Line-up: Tetsu (vocalist), Gaz (drums), Yu～ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar). Gaz was replaced by Kami at the beginning of this era, and Gaz was only in the band for about a half a year.
The Gackt era followed after a one-year hiatus, beginning in 1995 and lasting until 1999. Line-up: Gackt (vocalist), Kami (drums), Yu～ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar). This era was considered MALICE MIZER's "major" era, because after Voyage was released, MALICE MIZER signed to major record label Nippon columbia and released Merveilles, which is largely considered their best album. After the release of merveilles, Gackt announced his departure from the band, and in June of 1999, Kami died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. MALICE MIZER was then reverted back into an indies status, on Mana's label Midi:Nette.
The final era featured Klaha , a classically trained opera vocalist. This lasted from 2000 until the eventual hiatus in 2001, from which it is largely believed they will not return, and many consider MALICE MIZER to be disbanded. Line-up: Klaha (vocalist), Yu～ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar).
Post Projects
After his departure in early 1999, Gackt started a solo career which has been enormously successful; he is now one of Japan's top entertainers and TV personalities. Klaha started a solo career as well in December 2002; as of 2005 the status of his project is uncertain. Mana has formed his own solo project, Moi dix Mois, and simultaneously pursues a career as fashion designer for his Gothic Lolita fashion label, Moi-même-Moitié. He continues to also run his Indie record label, Midi:Nette, and is looking for bands to sign and produce. Közi has joined Haruhiko Ash's Goth/Industrial band Eve of Destiny and also has a solo project. After his departure in 1994, Tetsu has subsequently taken part in a series of bands such as Zigzo and Mega 8 Ball; his most recent being the independently released band nil. The whereabouts of Yu~ki were unknown until he briefly resurfaced in 2004 as lyricist for Közi's solo release "MEMENTO".
In 2010, the band had a brief revival during a Moi Dix Mois and Közi coupling tour. The line-up for this short revival only consisted of Mana, Közi, and Yu~ki, with Moi Dix Mois' drummer as a support member. Klaha did not show up to the performance, so Közi sang while playing guitar. "Beast of Blood" was one of the songs played. Currently Mana is still in Moi Dix Mois, Yu~ki still keeps to himself outside of the visual-kei scene, and Közi recently joined the new wave band XA-VAT.

The lyrics of Malice Mizer's song "Claire ~tsuki No Shirabe~" talk about the longing and yearning for someone who is no longer present. The phrase "Amas d'étoiles couleur sépia" is repeated throughout the song, which translates to "Sepia-colored clusters of stars." This imagery portrays a nostalgic and dream-like atmosphere. The lines "mahou no kotoba wo kurikaesu" and "mada kimi no sugata ga mienai" mean "repeating magical words" and "I still can't see your figure," respectively, further emphasizing the sense of longing and the desire to bring back the presence of the person they miss.
The lyrics continue with references to the moonlight, stars, and wishes being offered to them. The line "Yosora no shita de tsuki no hikari wo abinagara hoshi ni kakaru negai wo kanaete ageru" expresses the act of making a wish upon the stars while basking in the moonlight under the night sky. The repetition of "kimi dake ni wa kikoeru yo ni" further emphasizes the focus on the person being addressed, as if their voice is the only one that can be heard.
In the following verses, the lyrics mention the fantasy-like nature of dreams and the desire to chase after them, symbolized by breaking stars and jewels carried in the hands. The lines "Konya wa konna omoi wo yume ni egaite" translate to "Tonight, I will paint these feelings into a dream," suggesting the act of finding solace and escape through imagination.
Overall, the lyrics of "Claire ~tsuki No Shirabe~" evoke a sense of longing, nostalgia, and yearning for someone who is gone, creating a dreamy and nostalgic atmosphere.

Midnight sun light
Countless thoughts wrap me in the night sky over my eyelids and take me to the sky
I will grant my wish to hang on the stars while bathing in the moonlight under the night sky
So that only you can hear
amas d’ etoiles couler sepia
Repeat the magic words
I can't see you yet
The moonlight gathers in the dream of the night, which is colored by the stars in the night sky, and bridges the sky.
I wish I could become a shattering star and accelerate and fall head-on into your dreams
The jewels held in both hands are stumbling in the clouds and scattered
Tonight I dream of this feeling
So that only you can hear
amas d’ etoiles couler sepia
Repeat the magic words
I can't see you yet
I can't see you yet
