hi and welcome ^^ you should probably read the vkei subgenres guide put together by the wonderful commmunity of vkgy and there you will find more bands that are similar to malice mizer with visuals and descriptions conveniently provided! also check out the history of visual kei article when you can! hope you enjoy your time here and fall in love with vkei even more <3
theres bands like moi dix mois which is manas solo, and also id seach on the search bar for tanbi kei bands. a lot of these bands are kindof similar as theyre in the same subgenre. but id say moi dix mois is the most similar in my opinion, also theres bands and solos like lacroix despheres, kaya and versailles but theres a lot of bands so id check out the ones in the tanbi kei subgenre! 💗💗
There's many actually, u should listen to Lacroix despheres (female members), madeth gray'll, common but Lareine, moi dix mois, etc (madeth gray'll is kote kei sub genre but imo they sounded like malice mizer)

It's very sad that they're on hiatus, and also that their music isn't on spotify, But don't listen to Malace Mizer (on Spotify) if you're a true fan! Out of respect for the band, of course.
i heard alot of people have been reuploading their music illegally on to streaming services, to fans of Malice Mizer please dont listen to those copies :((( and spread this info for awareness!!
i still wonder where klaha is. i know the dudes probably just living a normal life out in america or something , probably laughinf at our conspiracy theories but not a day passes where i dont think of him. dude has the craziest dad lore
Malice mizer was the first v-kei band I listened to and I wish i they would put out more music ,they problably wont because they havent performed în over 20 years and one of them died
He's never participated in any of their revival events. Generally, if a band comes back for a show (especially if it's a huge event like MM's revivals tend to be) and they do not feature a member in that performance, we'll mark someone as a former member.
