Here is more from MALICE MIZER interview in Rock and Read 083. It is a long interview and since I am not a trained translator and it would take a lot of time and work to make the whole interview grammatically correct and all, I’m only going to post part of it. I previously posted here what I had tweeted out on Twitter, plus a little more. This second part is what Közi, Mana and Yu~ki said about their futures in music and more.
R&R: “As Yu~ki said at the beginning, MALICE MIZER is really everyone’s thing, isn’t it? There is such a MALICE MIZER, but after this second time is over, it is completely blank from now on, right?”
Mana: “We did everything we could at this stage.”
R&R: “Yu~ki-san, what is your future activity?”
Yu-ki: “The desire to express is at the root. It was true from that time, but it was not limited to music… .”
Közi: “Making art work, Yu~ki-chan. It’s all left at home, big works.”
R&R: “What is your plan for exhibition?”
Yu-ki: “I think that it would be nice if there is a chance to have people look at it in the future, but at this stage it is not something that I want to have someone look at. It’s also about looking at yourself, and it’s just what I am trying to do to shape my mind. After all, if I live for a long time, is there anything that can be done? Point or point becomes a line, it comes out to be understood now. Now, I am making things, thinking that it would be good if I could put that thought into shape.”
R&R: “ I look forward to the day when I can see the work. Közi-san,what are your thoughts and future prospects for that day?”
Közi: “There aren’t so many plans to do this from now on. No, I have nothing to do… Because what I am doing simultaneously is worthwhile, there is (also) a feeling that it would be nice to enjoying each form individually.”
R&R: “Even though there are various forms, all of them are music activities.”
Közi: “Right now, I’m interested in modeling things like Yu-ki, but in the case of me, I bought materials and finished. Collect the materials in a row and finish with (Yoshi!). Do not start kneading (lol). However, it is possible that music can continue without exception, people who have always supported MALICE MIZER, new customers, because it is because there are such people, thank you. I think it is health first and I wish I could do it from now on.”
R&R: “Közi, who is developing music activities in a great variety of styles, is dexterity? Or maybe… .”
Közi: “What’s clumsy? As a result of doing it, I’m getting freaky, I guess.”
R&R: “Do you like being busy?”
Közi: “No, I want to take a break. But it may be good with this because it is de M (lol).”
R&R: “ How about Mana-san?”
Mana: “In my mind, I think I was able to do something at the present stage as the 25th anniversary. It may be that it was quite big that Kami’s drums were usable. The last stage on which Kami stood was a fan club event. When it was over, I still felt that I wanted to see more of Kami the musician. What I could do live with the sound of Kami was so great that I was convinced, and I was quite able to digest (take into) myself.”
R&R: “In the case of Mana-san, the time of the solo project Moi dix Mois is longer than MALICE MIZER… . What is your outlook for the future?”
Mana: “That? Was that so? Because Moi dix Mois is from 2002… . Oh, it’s definitely long. I do not mind (lol). The big difference between Moi dix Mois and MALICE MIZER is that I’m completely standing on the stage as a (guitar) player. Now I have a moment to find a pleasant sound by playing the guitar on the stage, but when I was in MALICE MIZER I was playing the guitar and I didn’t feel so good. If anything, I used a guitar as one of the expression methods to create a world view.”
R&R: “Mana-san, who is also a guitarist of Moi dix Mois, stood on the stage as MALICE MIZER again and felt that it was clearly different from that time?”
Mana: “In MALICE MIZER there were a lot of songs that I performed without playing the guitar. Unlike Moi dix Mois, after a long time I thought that such a performance-focused stage would be pleasant. At the same time, I also thought that if MALICE MIZER was making a bad song to build the worldview. I will not make it now… . I mean, I will never make it, but I will think about it a little more (lol).”
“Actually I did not study music theory so I do not understand the theory even now, but I do not understand it because the music has come to me. So I know music as a physical sensation. At the time of MALICE MIZER, it was still developing, so it was like I was making songs as I wanted. It may have produced the goodness only in MALICE MIZER.”
R&R: “It is only because there was that age.”
Mana: “That’s right. So I think it’s good to be able to do a live as MALICE MIZER at Deep Sanctuary VI this time. Many of the fans responded (they didn’t think they could see MALICE MIZER in 2018), and there were many who were impressed by the reunion. I was also very happy.”
Kozi: “If you say. Thank you for everything.”
Yu~ki: “I wore the costume I made for Deep Sanctuary VI for the shooting of this “Rock and Read”. I did not think that I would be photographed again in this costume. And for the cover of the magazine. As this costume was made with meeting with Oba-san many times, I was very happy to be able to leave it in this way again.”
“With regard to this live, I think that it was possible to have the best stage only because the members including support musicians. The stage of MALICE MIZER that everyone envisions is the world that was constructed after having a grand theme. I have a feeling that it is not something like this with me. As a director, it would be nice if I could get some more created shows someday… . . I wonder why.”
