Kozi

YAY PICTURES, *steals*

I have so few Közi pictures, i left them all on my other computer and nowthey got deleted. oh well life goes on.

Though, i swear i have seen that hat era Malice Mizer somewhere.
 
Kinsao
^_^ what other songs can you recommend. i have Honey Vanity, and the song that's like Life~Meloncoly (I don't know if that's the correct name of it)
 
Ah, the song you mean is Life goes on ~with melancholy~

Hmm, it's quite difficult to recommend songs, because they are different from each other, and also, I like all of his songs. But... *thinks*...
I recommend... Incoherents, Promenade, Innermost, The Eyes, Crimson Star, Honey Vanity (retromantics club mix..... sooooo catchy! ), Night Creature, Que Sera Sera...

If you like classically-type but weirdish music, anything from Izayoi no Tsuki album is good - it's slower, gentle, eerie music. (Except for Kaikou which is more like a dance track!)

Another couple of pics:

YUP

It is the same hat right?☝

I needed more Kozi pics , but i couldn't be bothered to look for them
 
I should of listened to your warning Kinsao.
OMG! Kozi's backside is awesome!
I adore his tattoos and his out fit!
 
Thank you for sending me the songs you did. That's the song I was talking about Life goes on ~with melancholy~ ^_^. So far i've downloaded Incoherents and it's a really good song.
 
Yeah, Incoherents is one of my favourites! It defies classification, and it's so fun, and his voice is... mmm... ^_^

*pokes Darshari* You still alive there?
 
I love Kozi's voice !!!
and my favourite is Honey Vanity.... it makes feel good whenever I listen to it

umm, could you please upload that for me?
 
Here - click on this and look at the top pic.
That made me laugh so much. hee hee... that smirk... In fact, it inspired one of my very annoying dialogues...
Kozi: Na-na-na-na-na! I've got your panties! *dangles them way out of reach while standing on ridiculously tall boots*
Kinsao: *leaps up and down* Grrr... you ba$tard...
Kozi: *distracted* Hey, short-***, I'll give you a tenner to leap up and down like that without your industrial strength sports bra on.
Kinsao: Make it 20 and my panties back!
Kozi: No chance!*smirks*
Kinsao: *aims kick at Kozi*
Kozi: *attempts to dodge and trips and they both fall in a heap*
Yu~ki: Photo opp! *clickety-clickety*
Kinsao: *big sighhhhh**disentangles self*
Kozi: Since we're on the horizontal plane, you know that idea you mentioned when you were discussing the outro for that song you're trying to write...
Kinsao: I SAID I need a PIANIST! *gets up and throws a Japanese-English dictionary at Kozi's head*
(Apologies for that... )
Here are some pics from Kozi and Kami's hippy photoshoot! ^^

I have those three pictures from it that I posted above, but I think the only other picture from it is this one:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/coshh/Kozi/hippykozi.jpg
(He really is a chameleon... ^^)

Or did you mean the photoshoot around the poster with the thong? (XD)
In that case, I have these:

I could've sworn there was more, but all my pictures are disorganised... ><
(And this, although obviously not part of the photoshoot, looks like a similar time.)

Well, it's not really new, but he is/was (?) working for Eve of Destiny, project of Haruhiko Ash. But Eve of Destiny haven't done anything (tours, release) for ages, so there's a lot of speculation that they might be stopping activity. They also got pretty screwed over by Celtic Circle Productions (the company that released Nervous and Innocence, their only 'official' release). Although I doubt this setback would have made them stop activity if they really wanted to continue, there is speculation (and I have to say, all these are speculation only, there is nothing official said) that this might have contributed or at least been a discouragement.

Having said that, they did tour in several places. If they are stopping activity, it could be for any number of reasons, which we can't know without an official statement of some sort.

Anyway, that's Eve of Destiny. Not sure whether they are a 'currently active' band at the moment, but until we hear news from themselves... I guess they are.

Kozi also played in a session band called Death Attack Chainsaw, which played at a fanclub event in summer 2005. They haven't made any releases (a shame, cos I'm curious about them!) and may never do so, since they are 'only' a session band. Kozi plays bass in this band. The other members are Kazune (vocals - and he also used to be in Brain Hacker although not as lead vocalist), Shimizu Shin (guitar - he is Kozi's childhood friend and not a professional musician in life but an actor or something), and Masashi (drums).

Apart from these activities, Kozi is making solo work. :music:

do you think Mana Sama and Kozi talk anymore

That is something I don't know. I think no one knows this except for Mana and Kozi! :haihai: Some people have said that they think not, but there seems to be no reason for this except for some interview where Mana was asked if he still talks to ex-MM members and he said "no comment". Some people assumed this meant that there had been some falling-out, but I don't see any reason to suppose it; it could just be that Mana didn't want to talk about such things in the public. Kozi has not commented on it, except when he was asked whether he still keeps in contact with ex-MM members and he said "Yes, sometimes I meet with some of them". (Industry interview by Case, November 2002.) But he has not said anything about Mana specifically.
 
WOW you really Know a lot A LOT
thanks for bringing me up to date with Kozi news it can be hard to follow members when a band splt
i hope he realeses something soon
Mana Sama doesn't really like talking about private matters so maybe thats why he said no comment
i know Gackt said he loves each member of malice mizer for there own special trates
It's just i watched a backstage thingy of moi dix mois this week and Mana Sama looked so lonley he hasn't been looking very happy reciently i know he never looks over joyed but he looks diffrent ☝
in Malice Mizer he looked serious now he looks sad :?
he really looked like a lonley pertunia in an onion patch ☝
Moi dix Mois are a great band but Mana Sama doesn't look as close to them as he did to the members of Malice Mizer
he looks more like his there boss and maneger not there friend
He said once aparently that Malice Mizer wasn't over if it's true i wonder what he ment☝
It's just it always seems as if Mana Sama is still holding on to Malice Mizer sometimes☝
oh er sorry exscuse my ramblings it's just i'v been thinking a lot about it ever since i saw that documentory i don't like the idea of Mana Sama sad

Well, Kozi released a mini-album, Loki n' Roll, in May. Between his previous album and that one, was quite a long gap (a year and 2 months, to be exact), so I don't have my hopes high that he will release anything soon - although you never know. ^^

Info, CDs, live schedules etc. can be found at his official site, www.kozi.info

Wikipedia also has a discography with dates. Közi - Wikipedia

Mana Sama doesn't really like talking about private matters so maybe thats why he said no comment

That's my guess as well. I mean, both Mana and Kozi are known for not saying anything much about personal stuff, and fair enough.


You think so? I haven't seen anything of Mana in video recently, only a few "official" photos.

That image really made me laugh! But in a good way! *imagines Mana standing in an onion patch, looking like a beautiful lonely petunia* XD

Well, I don't know anything about that, but you might be interested to read this interview from Orkus, that was translated by Lardeen:
http://www.scapeforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=3737&start=0
I think it gives a really interesting and nice view of Mana's relationship with the members of MdM. Just for partly, I quote from K: "A lot of people think that Mana is very strict. Actually it isn窶冲 like that. We all know very well what Mana makes for this band possible and what he want to reach with it. We are able to bring our own ideas into the music! We state our own suggestions and when they meet with approval we advance them."

He said once aparently that Malice Mizer wasn't over if it's true i wonder what he ment☝

Personally, I don't think that Malice Mizer in any form will ever re-form. But you can read my views on that in the Malice Mizer thread! There are threads for both MM and Moi dix Mois under the "bands and groups" section.

(Sorry to people that I am going offtopic now! )

Anyway, from the interview I think Mana has a good relationship with the members of MdM...

I suppose I should think of something to say about Kozi, but I'm sure everyone here is already fed up enough of me... Oh go on then, while I'm here, I might as well say that he has a live on October 7 at Harajuku Astro Hall.
 
WOW you really really really know a LOT

you must love Kozi as much as i love Mana Sama and Gackt

sorry i ramble about Mana Sama a lot coz i worry about him he has seemed so lonesome reciently

thanks for the great links for Kozi annnnnnd

i found his cd i found his cd i'm gonna buy it

ow you don't know of any offical English speaking sight for Mana Sama do you the only one i could find is in japanese and i can't even get in

later i'll upload some pics of Kozi

i wonder what Yuki is up to hmmmmm:?
 
Hehe ... I don't really know a lot. I just know where to go for information when I want to remind myself of it.
And yeah, Kozi is my favourite musician, because I think his work is some of the most original and interesting I have heard.
Yay, I'm glad you found the CD and can buy it!

Umm, about English site of Mana... let's see...

Midi-Nette (Mana's music label) has an English page about Moi dix Mois:
http://midi-nette.com/mdm/index_english02.html
Mana has international fan club called Mon Amour (it's expensive to join though!):
http://www.midi-nette.jp/mdm/e/ma/
Scape has a page about Mana, as well as about all the other ex-MM artists:
-scape- the artists of Malice Mizer:
Mana-Sama net, a factual fansite:
Default Parallels Plesk Panel Page
Information on Mana's guitars:
http://www.espguitars.co.jp/artist/mana/index.html

Yu~ki, he worked with Kozi, he wrote the lyrics for "Memento" single. But I don't think he has done anything musically since then... I wish he would make something, he was a good bassist. Or maybe he just likes to play music as a hobby these days. I guess he probably doesn't have to work for a living.
