Bara no Otona: A Tokyo Jihen Musical Materpiece
Like a Japanese "Dark Side of the Rainbow" plus vampire cheese factor.
(and it's a little rough around the edges, but hopefully by the bloodsucking "Keshou Naoshi" seduction scene I'll have won you over.) Please enjoy! Part 1 edit: Oh, and do forgive that horrid typo in the title. I promise that I at least took better care in double-checking the film before I posted it (although, in a way, I find "materpiece" oddly fitting.) Last edited by isxahopas : 2009.04.14 at 09:51 AM. |

Well, I suppose I'd be lying if I said that they weren't some sort of guilty pleasure but Malice Mizer isn't a band I consciously consider in that light. (ie: I don't own any of their albums but after a few drinks I could probably karaoke at least a quarter of their repertoire at will.) For what it's worth though, I was a big Tetsu fan in high school (both early Mizer and nil material.) After reading your post I thought I ought to give "Memoire" another chance and my favourite song is still the same: "エーゲ海に捧ぐ~the vault of heaven~". Gackt's version just never did it for me. |

I think MM had a song called Bara no Seidou, and this vampirish movie called Bara sth sth sth.
That's why I asked.

I don't know if it's just my 9th grade obsession with them still taking hold, but I do still find Malice Mizer to have a really solid catalog. All 4 albums are still listenable 10+ years after the fact. Just because they dress up and spend a lot of time on their image doesn't take away from their musical ability. It's just like Ziggy Stardust cranked up a notch. :/ I haven't really gotten into any recent visual kei bands though. My interest in that "genre" per se kinda stops around 2002. Anyway, the video's pretty interesting. A Ringo musical would be fantastic. Or at least a running story put to her work. |

Yeah, I think they actually did make good music, you don't need to think about the image when you're just listening to an album, right? Sometimes it might be a bit over the top, but I wouldn't know any other band that sounds remotely like them (they themselves had pretty extreme sound changes anyway).

Ah yes Bara no Konrei. It's been a while since I heard any of their songs. I still think they're a super awesome band, I just don't like their crazy dark theatrical music anymore.

The Adult songs kind of make the video a little humorous (sorry if that wasn't the effect you were going for). It kind of reminds me of those old movies in sepia that have dancy jazz playing and people poking one another in the eye.
