MALICE MIZER MAGAZINE SCANS: GACKT & MANA CONCERT PHOTOS, VISUAL KEI COSTUMES. RARE JROCK MEMORABILIA.
While browsing the Bookoff in West Shinjuku, Seba and I found a Malice Mizer special magazine. We bought it for Yukiro… but not before snapping photos for you!
Boy, did Mana and Gackt look young in the early 1990s.
The magazine’s a dream for fans. Filled with pretty, colored drawings of the band.
Mana has a bit of a Sailor Moon vibe.
Inspired by the Gekka No Yasoukyaku PV (music video).
Sleek stage outfits.
And even a funny chibi comic!
Love how the band took glam rock influences and ran with them.
Can you guess how much this spectacular magazine cost?
350 yen — a measly $3.50!
Are you a Malize Mizer fanatic? What do you love best about the Visual Kei band?
Album of the Day: Mylene Farmer – L’Autre (she’s a big influence on the band)

Hands down, Malice Mizer were gods of costuming and performance tableaus, in their niche of the Visual Kei market… it’s the first thing that comes to mind for most when their name is mentioned…
Shoujo mangafied Malice Mizer though… nah, I’d rather see actual images of the band.
Hey! I am a costume design major in university and I was wondering if there was anyway that there is information on the history of Visual kei fashion/costumes? thank you so much!
Hello dear, I don’t have a history but here are some amazing costumes from the 90s, for malice mizer and other bands – http://lacarmina.com/2008/07/malice-mizer-despairs-ray-kamijo-visual-kei-stage-outfits-yukari-ohba/
That’s awesome!!!! I wrote a novela based on a malice mizer song once, but all that artwork is simply amazing!!!
