Kozi - Honey Vanity (Retromantics Club Mix) [Live]

[IraofAdjura]

He has such a unique voice that should be without filters on his albums ^_^ It would be great to see Kozi live~

[leakim91]

1: 50 i think that's Masashi

[mikeruANggel]

lo mejor .... ehh kozii.. ,.... tienes buena excusa de averte salido d marisu mizeru cantas bien y toca bien ... yeahh (Y) nice song

[murasakikouyou]

omfg i remember this song

[TokiMin0182]

I'm in love with him.. D;

[annemyashea]

Kozi- u rock

[YUMEROX]

there were 4 Justin Bieber fans watching this vid.

[deadstar030]

the one in the bass on these videos ISN't Masashi from V.P.Q.

he started supporting Közi from 2008 and this is from 2004~2006 :)

[elraot09]

Is one of this guys in this video Masashi?

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

@elraot09 Mh-hmm. Should be, according to TwilightSakura 28.

[elraot09]

@ManasJeuneFilleX

really? Hmm, it can't be one of this men with this hats, right?

Masashi sama <3

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

@elraot09 Check 1:09 - 1:11 . :3

I can't say I know anything about Masashi--I haven't even seen him with Versailles yet, so I don't really even know what he looks like. ;;>.>

I'll let you judge if thats Masashi. People say it is, so I'd tell you that it is, but I don't know. XD

[elraot09]

@ManasJeuneFilleX

thanks ^_^

[newusuario]

@elraot09 No.It's Kenzi (bassist) and Jiro (guitarist)

[TwilightSakura28]

Even though this is barely related to Közi...

Masashi (support bassist) is now an official member of Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet- !



[ManasJeuneFilleX]

@TwilightSakura28 Is that the same bassist as in the video? XD

Because if not: It is completely unrelated, and irrelevant to Kozi. Though, it IS good news that they found a replacement that they thought was suitable for Jasmine (RIP...).

[TwilightSakura28]

@ManasJeuneFilleX hahaha, it actually is Közi's solo project support bassist :D

And yes, I'm actually glad they accepted him as an official member, but as everyone says, Jasmine will never be forgotten. I just hope some of the fans who definately didn't want them to have another bassist but Jasmine at all will behave ^^;

Versailles will rule the world with Roses 8D XD

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

@TwilightSakura28 Haha~ Well, that's awesome then. =D

Truthfully, while I don't think anyone should be able to replace Jasmine Yuu (Nor do I think a Bass to be a 100% necessary part of a band--plenty get by without one), it only feels right that they give someone else a chance to carry that special little torch. It won't burn as bright, but it's still there at least.

WRONG!!! Versailles will not rule with Roses. They rule with the pretties.

D will rule with roses! <3

[MrsMansonD]

love love love

[Yo0pps]

@DrowElfMorwen Thanx for sharing your AWESOME pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I melted!!!!!! And still will melt XD!!! Greetings from Mexico!!!! :D

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

@DrowElfMorwen No problem! Also: I am jealous of you, in a way. I mean, EVERYONE performs at Akasaka BLITZ.. but yeah, you get to see Kozi, Yu~ki and Moi dix Mois on the same stage.

I was so sad when I checked the Mon†amour live performance news, and figured out Moi dix Mois and D were performing in the same concert. I nearly cried--both of my favorite bands in one show, and I was on the other side of the world.. XD ;~;

[VanityElric2]

He moves like a marionette xD;; And is that an old malice Mizer outfit i see at 1:14? xD;;;

I don't see why malice didn't use Kozi's voice between gackt and klaha eras, he has a wonderful singing voice~

Anyway,

I dont know is I like this or the original version of Honey Vanity better xD;; Kozi is love <3

[GraciaHughes1256]

@VanityElric2 He was mainly backup for the lead Malice Mizer singers...like Gackt...when he was in Malice Mizer. So he DID sing...just not the way we'd both like it. xD

[ebangha]

A-FREAKING-MAZING! *o*

[shiira24]

Recently,Közi and Mana are playing again together since last 2008.This is an extract from Mana sama's message to his fans at his official page:

*Thanks to your power, I am full of energy

for an album to be released in the summer.

Only in this year of dix, we'll make it the greatest year!!!

Up first is on March 19, with the "Madou Gathering",

then Kozi and I will tour several cities

in "Deep Sanctuary 2"!

And our special guest for the Tokyo show will be

Count Yu~ki!

[258sai]

音がかわいらしくて、popな感じ?スキ(^^)

[258sai]

原曲より明るめ、口ずさみやすい曲(^^)

[bubblerei]

Közi <3

[Hikarikuroshiro]

me encanta la voz de Kozi ^w^

[avarill]

so much better that the original one! i love it!

[nrx006]

His voice is so special :)

[ViciousKurai]

I think that is an awful rumor.

I don't think Kozi as a musician to be so bitter about a band that helped get his name known and loved.

But until the actual artist states the influence behind the song- It should be enjoyed for what it is :)

[xDoctorxFaustusx]

4:14

For some reason that part reminds me of a Malice Mizer song... I'm thinking of Aegen... Clever of him. lol

[Velvet3den]

Love Közi, and this song!

[winrelax]

mejor ke la version original, esta super!!!!!!!!

[outsidereeplay]

I like this better than the normal version.

[AuntOtus]

Me too, really. I prefer the feeling of this from the original.

[soramy01]

wiii olve Kozi

[outsidereeplay]

such a catchy song, and i want his hat.

[AnYtHinGJapAnESe]

Thanx for this video it was awesome! I love KOZI!

[XxShadowedSongxX]

He's really good.

I wonder if he and Mana still talk.

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Silly thing to wonder; Kozi was a special guest at last year's Dis Inferno, end-of-the-year party. =p

If they don't still talk, what kind of backwards world we would live in... haha... From what I know, they're still on REALLY good terms.. ~Shrug~

[XxShadowedSongxX]

I just realized that your Really and the two dots at the end are really suggestive. They're not more than friends? are they?

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Mana and Kozi are pretty much BEST friends to my knowledge--at least, career-wise. I know that much.

, and really, no that was not meant to be suggestive. Just for emphasis.

As for the elipses? That's a force of habit... Sometimes I wind up ending a sentence with 3-4 periods. Don't worry about it. XD

[lemonduh]

@ManasJeuneFilleX I thought that they are still working together in Moi-dix-Mois :/ except Kozi is under the name K instead of Kozi...did i recieve the wrong info?

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

@lemonduh Sorry to tell you, but that's WAY wrong. If you're new to Moi dix Mois and know little about Malice Mizer, it's a forgivable mistake, but otherwise...

K is K. Kozi is Kozi. All you have to do is actually look at their faces, or listen to their voices--totally not the same in any way. From what I know, K is also on the tall side, too... Kozi is around Mana's height.

[lemonduh]

@ManasJeuneFilleX Ah~ i see~ Thankyou~ ^-^

[MegaMsLewis]

Oh!) You are right... And small wonder(about Mana & Kozi)

[rockaefellerdragon]

sucks (N)

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Forgive my asking, but I've got a curiosity about me~ I know that everyone has an opinion...

What makes you say that?

[17051978emerson]

100 reproducciones no importa son mias kozi es el mejor ...mexico....

[BlackHeartYuki]

I love his music *.*

[oodiska]

thank you so much this is amazing ! *-* közi is so...... GRRRRR 8D

[lethalblonde0911]

I actually found this video because he added it to his playlist on his myspace (real myspace). It's great!

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Is that so? I'd like to see that then. =p

[PeopleHadez]

ahora entiendo de donde saco Mana su inspiracion electronica e industrial..! la adoptó del verdadero estilo de Kozi, lo sabia..! ellos dos se complementan totalmente...

[PeopleHadez]

A mi parecer su musica es muy melodiosa, no tiende a ser tan aleatorio en las notas que usa, y por supuesto añadiendole a todo esto su tan bizarro estilo.

Su estilo me recuerda demasiado a malice mizer, definitivament el y Mana se complementaban, ambos siempre tan melodiosos, y oscuros a la vez..

[velcra01]

I cant understand how this song can be this brilliant !!!!!!! he is genious

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Well, the song itself really isn't "brilliant" when you think about the original studio recordings--the first one that showed up on the Kinema single, and then the Retromantics Club Mix that showed up on the Memento single. Both of those versions were kind of boring in comparison to the live.

The brilliance is in the fact that Kozi actually SINGS in this one. =p

As far as Kozi being a "genius"... I half-agree. It's two parts: 40% genius 60% presentation of the result.

You know?

[caruraChan]

Kozi te amo tanto tu voz es genial

5/5

[iMapleSyrupi]

o hay thar, Kozi!

Awesome voice!

So adorable.

xD

[GlassRose67]

Wooooo Kozi!!! xD

[malicemizer99]

oh Kozi *__*

your voices is very sexy!!!

[tomcia1395]

Yeah! ^^ Very Very Very Chii :P

*__*

[GothicSymphonie]

OMG Közi sing so beautiful.!

[KeareChan]

I really really really like this song!!!

[caruraChan]

me encanta no sabia q abia video kozi eres genial

[countessli]

round round merry go round!!

GO KOZI-SAMA

[AlyLovesKaoru]

Go Kozi!! ^_^ Te amo! ^////^

[LPangel5673]

This version is so much awesim-er!! xD

[sesshyfreak7]

kozi is the best!

[Kamina02]

Kozi es el mejor

[PrepareForGlory]

I adore Kozi^^...And I really like this song^^ Now I'm learning the lyrics - gonna sing it along^^

[xXxViSUALxKEixXx]

my fav. song from his solo project~ -dreamy-

[Mizukeii]

kozi <3 ex member of Malice Mizer <3

[drumsnojavierdesu]

guess im one of the guys that fit in the 20-25% o.o

and I sing this song to my Gf :P

[and yes I do realize what the lyrics are about :D]

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

lol, awesome~

If you can get people to back you saying that you sing the song well, you will have my admiration. :p No matter how much I sing this song (or any song) I still feel like I'm way off. XD

And congratulations about knowing~ I do, however, ask you to avoid Gackt's "Vanilla", unless you're feeling up for the mood of that song. XD

[drumsnojavierdesu]

I never said I can sing the song well, I fail at it, lmao xD but still, i like singing it to my gf, it was the song that got us together believe it or not.

And oh god.. vanilla.. yea I know of that song.. hmm.*attempts to sing*... fail xD

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Heh. Well, that's to be expected from someone with literally no experience. XD

But good luck to you anyway. :p

yeah...the song is fun to sing, but the translation is enough to make someone laugh and turn red.

[cyantons]

I agree with you on that. The first time I heard it I said to myself, "oh, that's kinda catchy," and then I looked up the lyrics and said, "oh la la." lol

[Aerach89]

I just got introduced to this song last night and I fell in love with it instantly!

[darkXnightXcountess]

oh so this is what kozi did after malice mizer! i was looking up stuff on what he did after MM, so thanks for uploading!

[cyantons]

He also did some stuff with Haruhiko's Eve of Destiny project if your interested.

[sycayersou]

I love this song.

It's so catchy<3

KoziFTW.

[InLoveWithMIYAVI]

definatly more girls like jrock than guys

[sycayersou]

And?

[InLoveWithMIYAVI]

whats the And? for

im simply agreeing with this persons idea.

i am a girl. and i know for a fact so much more girl like jrock than boys.

[cyantons]

Not neccessarily true. I am also a girl, and most of my friends are guys...and they listen to plenty of jRock. Guys are just leery of visual kei...mostly because Mana and Kaya creep them out. O_o

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

If you're referring to my "It's the pretty men that scare away guys" comment...

J-Rock and VK are practically two completely different fields these days, so I wouldn't bother counting J-Rock fans... I.E. Dir en grey is technically "J-Rock"...and they're not pretty guys (anymore) lol

I'm a guy myself, and i freakin' <3 guys like Mana, Kaya, Hizaki, etc... XD

Does that make me gay? lol

But no, really... knowing a guy's mind, it IS the pretty guys that bother other guys... at least, VK-pretty.

[Gundam1317]

does any one know where i can get his songs there so cool

[aspiderinmymind]

i love how different the vocals are on this compared to the C.D here its alot more passionate and works with the music whereas on the C.D its like he tries to disconnect the vocals from the fast and busy music both work really well but give the song a completely different atmosphere kozi is awesome :)

[tashanyopi]

Közi is Awesome! I love him

[Anasutazi]

oh, Kozi-sama! I adore him. He was my favourite from MM, and music he composes himself is too worthy. Thank you so much..

[YuuKisaragi]

"It seems to me that about 75-80% of all people who watch this video are labeled as females (who would've ever guessed for Visual Kei stuff?), and only 20-25% are male."

I wonder why the surprise that there are more female fans for visual kei than male fans...

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

It isn't a surprise to me. XD

It's the pretty men that scare away guys.

[sycayersou]

Ahahahaha.

Oh, so true.

[xXHanakoUchihaXx]

KOZI-SAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me encanta esta cancion *-*

<3 Kozi-sama Lovers <3

me encanta kozi =3

[kenkenmakoto]

kozi-sama FOREVER!!!

[mahouringochan]

Thanks for loading~♪

[countessli]

wow, kozi-sama!!!

thanks for uploading this vid!

Dix love back to you ^_^

[ReikoTheDarkone]

Whoot Kozi-sama! finally i find you! Thanks for the upload! i love you for this

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

lolol :3

I <3 you too~ XD

Just do me a favor and keep an eye out for more of my vids, okei? X3

[ReikoTheDarkone]

can do captain!  especially if it means more kozi-sama! *subscribes*

[icey331]

i wish there would be more beautiful men like kozi...*sighs so hard*

[RockShoujo]

Kozi is LOVE <3

I've been trying to find his solo stuff everywhere, for a few years with no luck until now. <3 this. And I've missed that beautiful voice!

[Sithrange2nd]

Közi is so beautiful ... And I'm a male ~

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

W00tness! Another guy who will openly admit to Visual Kei being awesome!

Yes, Közi is beautiful in his own special way. :3

Kinda reminds me of a non-gay version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show...not that it was a bad movie. XD

It was just....gay...literally. :3

[JarethDrakul]

Its strange how very few men will admit they like Visual Kei haha...I'm male and I'm a huge huge fan of Visual Kei. Haha Rocky Horror was great haha though I will admit it was strange in a way haha

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

VK = amazing

It's only a shame that the Western Hemisphere is so terribly closed-minded about things like that...

If there were men like Mana, Kozi, Kaya and Hizaki... heh... The music industry would go back UP instead of degrading like it is...

RHPS = hilarity, but really strange. O.o

Tim Curry kinda scared me in that movie. XD

[mapend]

Fuck, this is an awesome version of this song. Plus, great voice. I always thought it was strange that he thought he couldn't sing well enough to take Gackt's place when he left.

Also, if your reading this comment and don't know anything about Kozi, check everything and anything out tha has to do with him. He's a music genius!

[apinalaama]

i didn't know that Közi can sing like this :oo

this is amazing! ♥

[moeshie147]

wooooo!!! this rocks!!

[MihoCafe]

His voice is wonderful!!

[Shayna3393]

gaspp. I use to love Gackt liek so much. NAO I LOVE KOZI EVEN MORE THEN HIM AND HIS VOICE PWNS. D;! gasppppppz. o; i love kozi so much nao. stalks him forevar.

[iPodCrazy982]

Holy Kozi!!!!! He is better live than recorded in a studio!!!!

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Noooo. :o

We never would've guessed--Kozi mixes out his recordings so much that you can hardly tell that he can ACTUALLY sing.

So, naturally: OF COURSE he sounds better live, when you can actually hear the note change in his voice, as well as the emotion (added to the fact he's actually SINGING live. XD)

[randomtwinny]

kozi-sama is freaking amazing live! <3

[MesonoxianDream]

Kozi <3

[XxDarkXScorpionxX]

kozi fucking rulz !!

[Mezurill]

Kozi has an amazing live voice! *3*

[Inkotsu]

Közi sounds incredible live!! *_* Thank you so much for sharing!! <3333

[Thecheckerchex]

siiiiiiiiiick \m/

[sonicjess]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *0* i can't stop screaming whenever i see Közi live singing! i love him as hell and i'd surely sell my soul to see him live!! thank god he came back to the scene!! I missed you too much Kouji-sama!!!

Közi and Mana are two of the greatest musical genious in the whole existence, so i want them back together again! T_T

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Ahaha...

Yes, Kozi and Mana-sama are both great (although neither are amazing guitarists, despite their genius).

I keep telling people not to sell their souls over the superficial visage of a J-rocker though...

Kozi actually disappeared again a while back...after releasing Loki n' Roll, he kinda went "poof!"..

Wonder what happened to Klaha too...

Moi dix Mois is yet to announce any new work...

[sonicjess]

Közi actually returned and gave sings of life, he played in the past Toky Dark Castle in october with his band DALLE (but i thought it was only a one day performance) and i think he has another band called PPP or something, also he'll be in Dis Inferno VI with Mana and MdM, also he finally updated his website after years! i think that means he's back again!

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Hahah.. Kozi's Not Dead! (such a rip-off of Mana-sama... XD)

This should be pretty cool then~

[XxDarkXScorpionxX]

kozi canta ??? mierda!!!!!!!!!!!

[vichigo]

this is awesome. thanks for going to all the trouble to find this. I appreciate it. <3

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

You're very much welcome~

If you can recommend other videos to put up, I'll see what I can do to get them, depending~

Although, I will admit that I cant promise anything for bands like Versailles ~Philharmonic Quintet~ or D.

...and I probably wont do Gackt stuff, simply because I dont really like him as much as some. >.>

Malice Mizer and Moi dix Mois are no prob for me though. XD

Truth is, I really only got Honey vanity up because the vid was gone, and I wanted the song. XD

[dezinfectant]

that's nice mate!

thanks for the vid

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

No problem~

and you're welcome.

[sergeantkitty]

This is one of the few Kozi songs I actually like. The song has a Malice Mizer 'feel' to it, which I wish he would do more of.

[HoneyCiel]

omg, I love this song

I really love Kozi's solo work.

[CorpseBallet]

I love him ._. <3

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

So do I. ._.

His voice during lives....to die for.

'Nuff said.

[CorpseBallet]

He has such an amazing voice, he doesn't show nit off enough in his songs. Do you know where I can get his DVD?

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

Yea...most of his studio recordings are too mixed-out...thats why I hate the studio version of HV...

and no, sorry... everywhere I look, the DVD is either out of print, or sold out...

You can try CDjapan though--but I doubt they have it.

[CorpseBallet]

Oh, that's a shame :/

I love him so much, I'd sell my soul to see him live ._.

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

lol...

Kozi = awesome

but...

Selling your soul to see Kozi live = really bad idea

[CorpseBallet]

Oh he's worth it ^^ <3

[Succyx3]

I love this song~ <3

I think I'm listening for the 10th time in a row at the moment... o.o

How freaky is that? xP

[pinkietums]

Where did you find this~? I want to get it and put subs on it..pweh~ =P

Thanks a bunch for uploading this!!

[ManasJeuneFilleX]

I'll upload the vid to 4shared and send you a link, so dont worry about it. :p

I was actually thinking of adding subs myself, but I dont have my photoshop installed at the moment...so...yea, later...

And dont mention it, dear~ <3

I'd hate for people to be deprived of great music.~ X3
