Malice Mizer footage on TV 10/8/2017

Not "Sur TV", actually on TV again for a minute or so XD

Looks like some show did a "history of visual kei" episode, and Malice Mizer shows up at the 28:23 mark with "gekka no yasoukyoku".

Kaya also shows up at 40:32 I saw Dir en grey somewhere in there too as well, but surprisingly I didn't catch Moi dix Mois or Lareine. (EDIT - removed mistaken info) And they tried to cover the entire history of the scene from the 80s up till the present. I think it's safe to say we're at the point where people are starting to write the history of the genre in retrospective now.

They didn't mention either Moi dix Mois or Lareine and everything after 2000 was rushed except the Dir en Grey stuff (which made me think about that Illuminati video...). The band that played the Luna Sea song "I for You" was made of members from different bands including singers DAIGO, Kiryuin Sho of Golden Bomber (who had the full vk make-up and hair), and Mao of SID. There weren't any Luna Sea members as far as I know.

I think the count down thing was more about which bands had the biggest influence or popularity. Funny that both Luna Sea and Malice Mizer trended on Twitter in Japan after the show. It was an interesting show.

Here's a link to the info about the Kan Jam episode on TV Asahi's website http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/kanjam/backnumber/0113/
