Malice Mizer - Saikai no Chi to Bara

Malice Mizer's pv, Sakai no Chi to Bara, from their 1999 album Bara no Seidou.
This song was dedicated to and made for Kami, the drummer of Malice Mizer, who tragically died...this video tends to make me want to cry. I didn't know it was possible for someone so beautiful and perfect to die...

Kami, Kamimura Ukyo, was the second drummer of Malice Mizer, and the most famous and beloved. He died from a subarachnoid hemorrhage while sleeping when he was only 26 years old. That was on June 21, 1999. On June 21, 2009, it will have been ten years since that terrible day...may we all remember him with love and care forever! His spirit will carry on with us...with his fans, his friends, and all those who knew him...forever.

I uploaded this video because it is in high quality, without "taken from Paradoxical-reality" at the beginning. It is a genuine dvd-rip, and I hope everyone will enjoy seeing it the way it was meant to be seen.
I wish Malice Mizer would have a reunion...

Until now I never found myself likeing a music pease without vocalist...but what do the band members do in this song besides looking awesome in the pv...there is no guitar bass or drum in it right?

[ForestBalrog]

@ArbrusMN - You're right. I believe that Mana only composed the music, and there is whispering...done by all three members, but besides that no, there is no bass, no guitar, and of course no drums because this song was made for the drummer who passed away.

[ArbrusMN]

@ForestBalrog thank you for the answer and the informatian ^_^ I am really sorry for the late answer my computer broke and please excuse my horrible english -_-' May I ask you to recommand me a few good songs from Malice Mizer? I would really like to hear and know more of such an important band in the Visual Kei genre :D

Oh and what is the name of the drummer? it hurts to hear that he died...even though that I don't know him but I'm sure that he was a great artist..

[ForestBalrog]

@ArbrusMN - Of course, friend :) Your English is great and it has only been a week so please don't worry about it ;) Take a look at my playlist "Kyoukyuu Radio" there is a good amount of Malice Mizer videos I have uploaded in there...my favorite song is Kyomu no naka de no Yuugi (虚無の中での遊戲) and my favorite album is "Bara no Seidou" (薔薇の聖堂). Look up anything with Klaha as the vocalist (such as Beast of Blood, Gardenia, and Shiroi Hada ni Kuruu ai to Kanashimi no Rondo (白い肌に狂う愛と哀しみの輪舞).

[ForestBalrog]

@ArbrusMN - Basically everything out of the Bara no Seidou album is my favorite. The drummer's name was Kami, he was a great drummer. Look up the song au revoir by Malice Mizer, it's wonderful. He is the one with long reddish hair with the imagery of butterflies :) and yes, I too was also incredibly saddened when I heard he was dead. It's always a great loss when such wonderful people pass away...

..World needs Malice Mizer to reform but one wonders if the ego that is Gackt can come back. Kozi, Yuki and Mana played together last year for the first time since 2001..all it needs now is Gackt to come back.

[ForestBalrog]

@Dungarth - I don't think Gackt would or needs to be in Malice Mizer, I personally prefer Klaha, and I far prefer the music following Gackt leaving and the death of Kami to anything they made with him. Malice Mizer is supposed to be about "Malice and Misery" but I didn't find what they made with Gackt to go along with that theme.

everytime i watch this i start crying when the gate opens and mana, kozi and yu~ki are standing in front of the grave.. and when they look through the window its like they're looking for him, it makes me so damn sad.. and their beauty makes it even worse

R.I.P. Kami we'll never forget you, you'll always be alive in our hearts

[EchoesofDarkness22]

He was a wonderful person, Kami.

And he died all-too early.

@PD4FR I translated it as "The Reunion of Blood and Roses". >_<

[FUCKTHEREST92]

@ForestBalrog I personally do believe that Malice Mizer would be just good enough with only Mana, Kozi and Yu~ki in line up. No more than these 3. Kozi could do the vocals, Mana drums (he stated he had been a drummer during his high school days) and Yu~ki bass.

@Bellsfan - Are you wondering what the name of this song means?

'Saikai no Chi to Bara' means 'The Blood and Rose of Reunion'. It's quite a beautiful song, isn't it? :)
