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 Le ciel are about a love that cannot be. The singer is led by a gentle singing voice and the pure whites of falling tears carried by the wind. The eyes that look at the singer do not know the impurities they hold, reflecting infinite horizons. With small fingers, they trace the path of the singer's tears which they had forgotten. The singer feels trapped in their love for the addressee. The addressee is someone that the singer cannot forget, but the singer is unable to stay with them, and it ultimately leads to tears of farewell.
The song starts with the singer being guided by a gentle singing voice and the pure whites of falling tears. Throughout the song, the singer seems to be longing for the love they cannot have with the addressee. The addressee's voice that passes through the singer's ears keeps holding them back, making it difficult for the singer to forget them. The singer pleads with the addressee to kiss them on the cheek and hold them tightly until their return. The singer begs for the addressee's help but is left with nothing but the tears on their face, the only way to say goodbye.
Overall, the song portrays the heart-wrenching pain that one goes through when there is love that cannot be, and the sorrow that follows when having to say goodbye to that love. The emotions in this song are raw, and the lyrics make one feel the intensity of the situation.

here are the translated lyrics! :)
I was drawn by your gentle song
Your pure white tears flow away with the wind
And cut time in two
You look at me with eyes unclouded by sin
And they reflect the boundless never ending earth
With your little finger
You trace the tear stains in my forgotten cheek
Your finely transparent voice wont let me go
And even though I know I cant stay
Your overflowing tears are your parting words
Without asking anything you place your hand on my chest and try to smile
I kiss your cheek ... I will never forget you
We will hold each other tightly until i return to the sky
Your finely transparent voice wont let me go
We hold each other more tightly
So I wont fade away..
So I wont fade away..

優しい歌声に導かれて…
流れ落ちる真っ白な涙が風に吹かれ時間を刻む
僕を見る汚れを知らない瞳は
果てしなくどこまでも続く大地を映し
小さな指で忘れていた僕の涙の跡をなぞる
君の細く透き通る声が僕を離さない
僕がここに居続けることは出来ないのに…
こぼれ落ちる涙はお別れの言葉
何も聞かず ただ僕の胸に手を当て微笑み浮かべ
君の頬に口づけを…僕は君を忘れない
もっと強く抱き締めて僕が空に帰るまで
君の細く透き通る声が僕を離さない
もっと強く抱き締めて僕が消えないように…
僕が消えないように…

i'm so upset i haven't heard of malice mizer as a kid, i'm a teen listening to them now and gosh, they're the most beautiful band. their clothing styles are amazing and their music is just so marvelous. it's like caressing my soul. the band members too have changed so many things as the years gone by. it's amazing.

i really wish i couldve been alive when they were still together, i wouldve done anything to see them at that time. i only got into them abt 4 monthz ago but at least i can say i didnt find them through tiktok i found them upon my own discovery. im also only a teen and i wish i couldve been around to see them back then, i really miss tetsu and klaha, it makez me sad not even mana could find a way to get in contact with klaha and just having him back for one deep sanctuary live would be so amazing.
