Yu~ki

Name: Yu~ki Real name: unknown Date of birth: 8/8 Birthplace: Fukuoka Blood type: A Height: 175cm Band history: Ze:ro ?? - 1992 Malice Mizer 8/1992 - 12/2001

Yu~ki was the bassist of Malice Mizer from its inception in 1992 to the "indefinite hiatus" in 2001. After his previous band Ze:ro disbanded in 1992, he was approached by Mana and Közi to be their new bassist; after listening to a demo tape of their music, he agreed, and the core of Malice Mizer was formed. In the band's early days, he often took an active role in Malice Mizer's stage construction. Thematically, Yu~ki had a strong affinity to the image of the vampire count, the aristocrat, and the bat; his signature colors were yellow and orange. In Malice Mizer's silent film "bara no konrei", an adaptation of the Dracula story, he played the Earl of Dracula. Musically, Yu~ki's role appears to have been mainly as a performer rather than a composer; his sole credits are the composition of "Syunikiss" on the "merveilles" album, and the programming of the hidden track "bara no souretsu" on "Beast of Blood". Additionally, he wrote the lyrics to Közi's single "Memento" in 2004.

Alone among the Malice Mizer alumni, Yu~ki has not announced any concrete plans to return to music. He appears to have maintained ties to Klaha and Közi, having appeared in their fanclub magazines once each. In Klaha's FC interview, he described having nebulous intentions to return at some unspecified point, however it is not at all certain when or if that will come to pass. Yu~ki has no official point of contact with the public, and so we must largely remain content to remember him for his work with Malice Mizer.
