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.

Mune no naka wo kasumeru

The song Madrigal by MALICE MIZER is a poignant expression of longing for a loved one. The lyrics speak about the repetition of words that reside in one's heart, that silently wish for the presence of the one they miss so much. The opening line of the song "Kurikaesu kotoba dake, mune no naka wo kasumeru" (Repeating words that are buried deep within my heart) sets the tone for the entire song. Every word uttered is an attempt to be close to the person they miss so much. The song speaks of wanting to be next to the person they long for, to be with them to become more valuable than anyone else in the world.

※繰り返す言葉だけ胸の中をかすめる
「君に会いたい」
誰よりも大切な二人になるために
ただ側に居たいだけ※
ふりかえるといつもある
微笑みの大切さを
季節の終りまでわからないまま
ほんの少しの勇気があれば
優しくもなれたのに
失ったものの大きさを初めて知った
目を閉じて空に願う
照れながらつぶやいた
あの時の言葉をもう一度…
まどろむ午後の日差しの中で
消えた足跡を見つめて
影がのびる夕暮れに現実を呼びさます
夜の吐息にとまどいを消せなくて
(※くり返し)
抱き締めて壊れるのなら
それでもいいと思った
そんな過去にさよならをつぶやいて
(※くり返し)
ただ側に居たいだけ

i love this song so much... even though i was born in 2010, it makes me feel nostalgic for times I wasn't even born. it's so bittersweet, it's comforting and makes you want to stay but on the other hand, it makes you feel sad and alone. i love malice mizer so much and hope my love for them will never die.
