So I was randomly looking for some reviews on Malice Mizer albums, cause I wondered if there even was any, and found THIS for Merveilles:
Yeahuh, random Japanese singer alright

Random Thoughts: The Return

You can find a bunch of mini-reviews on amazon.co.jp but most of them are from much later, when the albums were already a known quantity. The Klaha-era singles have a few contemporary reviews.
I still think Klaha Era sounds a bit like Brian Ferry singing in Japanese to the Symphony of the Night soundtrack, but that hasn't stopped me from loving it all the more.
Seems cool, but unfortunately I don’t speak Japanese, apart from kana and up to about N3 Kanji
I’m learning though!!
Thanks for pointing it out either way. Seems interesting.
EDIT: There’s also some English reviews I found but I’m more interested in the Japanese ones, plus there’s much more of them.
Also, from modern times there was a "merveilles" retrospective review last year:

Remember this? Well, we're doing a show and tell activity in class with students, so I brought this in to use as an example.
Keeping the legacy alive.

Haha, sadly he isn't in this class!
Although all the students knew who Gackt was and responded with an 'ugh'/nod and thought it was very funny when I wrote
On the blackboard.
Face it, he's geezer music now. He's what people's mooooooms listen to

I read this and my first thought of him in those mega photo shopped ads for "beauty treatments". He's there for the moms to keep them looking young too.
Was the theme バーゲンで買ったもの XDD

Well, the balding treatment ads featuring him are still on display in the trains...
Haha, no, but maybe I will use that sometime...
Reading Quincy Jones' Vulture interview. Seriously, the guy is the history of modern music. Ignoring the gossipy parts his comments on the state of modern music, yeah. As someone who had a bit of training with a person who knew Quincy and also Prince, this is worth a read.

Wishing a Happy Valentine's Day to everybody! I even made Malice Mizer themed cards for the occasion. This one's my favorite
Oh yeah?
All right, I guess I can't top that when it comes to being a holiday buzzkill XD

I picked it up too, which unfortunately means I missed the full extent of the chaos.
I fell in the middle of the street today and may have sprained my hand in the process! Happy Valentine's Day, errybuddy!
