EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: MANA SAMA & KOZI PERFORM IN TOKYO! MOI DIX MOIS LIVE CONCERT, DEEP SANCTUARY TOUR, MALICE MIZER VISUAL KEI.


MANA live, Moi dix Mois & Kozi concert in Tokyo Japan. Visual Kei, Malice Mizer reunion band performance, mana sama fans, Japanese J-rock concert, Ebisu Liquidroom Deep Sanctuary tour. Goth fashion and hair inspiration

Malice Mizer veterans Mana sama and Kozi are reunited on their Deep Sanctuary tour! I saw Moi dix Mois & Kozi perform live at Ebisu Liquidroom in Tokyo, Japan (July 19, 2009). In this video, La Carmina and friends report on the concert experience…

† Japanese Goth fashion: we’re wearing Alice Auaa, New Rock, Innocent World, vintage.
† Kozi’s performance: we have a renewed appreciation for his music. To our surprise, Kozi sang all the songs himself and included tracks from Eve of Destiny.
† The god(ess) known as Mana-sama: he touched us! The footage of Moi dix Mois speaks for itself.
† Deep Sanctuary merchandise: Mana’s custom ESP guitar with a light-up blue cross.
† Best moment: for the encore, everyone put on tour T-shirts… then Kozi and Mana came out arm in arm and performed a song together.

What’s the verdict on Kozi’s polka dot pierrot pants? Hot or not?

And what do you think of the show? As I mentioned before, Mana isn’t massively popular in Japan any more. Gackt sells out stadium arenas, whereas this venue held fewer than a thousand people and had tickets at the door…

More videos to come on my channel (thanks for subscribing!).

  • Emma

    Who are the Japanese girls you hang out with? They never get introduced and they look cool too! ^_^ Mana-sama is so beautiful, the entire thing looked awesome, but not that big.
    Speaking of Swedish, “stil” is style and “mode” is fashion – but Yukiro might be Swedish for all I know, so don't shoot me for saying it. o_o

  • shichi

    On Mana not being very popular right now; of course not. Moi Dix Mois hasn't released anything new in over two years, and Dixnadu wasn't very good… I hope he rebounds, Malice Mizer's Bara no Seidou is one of my favorite albums of all time.

  • http://www.lacarmina.com lacarmina

    They are the coolest girls in the world…. Japanese Goth/Lolitas… but almost all of them don't speak English or are a little shy around the video camera, which is why they aren't in the spontaneous videos. Maybe I can interview them in Japanese with subtitles ahaha.

    Yukiro is Swedish ^^ I guess style and fashion are equivalent enough!

    I think Kozi's pants are a reference to his more Visual days of dressing as the Pierrot in Malice Mizer… I like them!! Yes, he was dancing like a little doll. So cute.

  • Claine87

    Yukiro is from sweden~~?
    ö 3 ö ~ hej hej yukiro!

  • bornofthorn

    Could you post the footage / audio of the concert un-edited? Anyway, great vids, thanks!

  • http://www.lacarmina.com lacarmina

    So funny how it's the opposite in America at least… Mana is captivating minds and hearts!

  • EmiruSekaigawaa

    Oh I Also went to this awesome Concert ;-D
    Funny I met Yukiro some days later at MARZ in shinjuku :D

    Kozi was just fantastic :D his moves and his fall/drop-microphone stunt at the end was epic XD

    Thanks for uploading some concert material.

  • http://www.lacarmina.com lacarmina

    That's basically all the footage I have… the shaky bits are covered up with photos in this video. Glad you like the vids!

  • http://www.lacarmina.com lacarmina

    Ahh did you meet Yukiro at Midnight Mess? ^^ We filmed a video about the club night (also on my channel!)

  • EmiruSekaigawaa

    Oh Really Ill just Go check.

    Why arent you at Tokyo Dark Castle right now :D ?

  • http://www.lacarmina.com lacarmina

    Not my favorite party, to be honest… I prefer Midnight Mess, D's Valentine events like Gothic Bar Heaven and Alamode, and Tokyo Decadance.

    Yukiro and others from Midnight Mess are also in the Mad Hatter video and Gackt review!

  • EmiruSekaigawaa

    So you liked the space-Decadance last weekend ? :3
    Gothic Bar Heaven and Almode is truly my favorite places, …much more calm that TDC and MM.

    Then I rest my case! xD I just moved to Sweden yesterday, so my Swedish is bad. Good excuse right?! Right???? o_o;;; It shall be interesting when my Swedish university courses start, lalalalala…

    And Japanese interviews (subtitled xD) with the Japanese would be extremely awesome! I vote YES!

      • http://www.theothereast.net shichi

        For many American VK fans, I think they’ve probably only first listened to Malice Mizer in the last few years. For Japanese fans, that was 8 years ago.

        • Name

          I wouldn’t say he’s captivating hearts and minds like he’s something new. There are older fans that have been listening to him for years that are just now getting the chance. I’d say its more of a case of supply and demand.
