Interesting info in there. I'm wondering how accurate the translation is.

They chose some pretty good questions this time round... except for the thing about visual kei

So when you ask me about the future of visual kei, I will say that I don't know and I don't really care.

Shut down HARD

Some interesting talk in there about how Kozi had completely lost his motivation till he met his current set of drinking buddies. He sounds happy now at least, which I'm glad for.

Yeah, he didn't say it was the suspension of Malice Mizer that caused that loss but that would fit. Also noticed he said he is a member of Malice Mizer, not that he was a member. Don't know if that is a translation mistake or if he actually was phrasing it that way.

Also sounds like if someone wants them to perform at an event outside of Japan they are open for it. Of course that means dealing with probable scheduling conflicts since some have commitments to other bands that are currently performing or planning on touring. Just don't advertise them as a visual kei band.

Time ago he remove the "ex"Malice Mizer from everywhere so maybe he feel he's still a member (?)

I talked with Yugami once about that, and yes, they're totally opened and waiting for it. I wish they have more fans here in South America

Yeah it's always been stated online that they suspended activities versus broke up or ended. I think with Mana pushing the Deep Sanctuary shows it's helped keep them connected, even if it's just for getting together for a couple of songs.

That's the problem, ZIZ doesn't have a lot of fans outside of Japan so when anime and other conventions want to get bands, they try for the ones more popular since flying bands over isn't cheap and they want to pull in more attendees to help pay for it.
