Hmm... for the first, I can't help you. For the second, I noticed something on this picture which might be a clue. In the bottom left corner there is some "Midoricat" but it's flipped. I returned it back to original and here's it:

midoricat.jpg


I looked all over the net for anything "Midoricat" but I didn't find... anything, except a page under construction. It may be some artwork done by a fan, or something and this to be their future page...

Who knows, but I doubt it's actually an official thing. It does look like the original art during indie MM times but... Sorry I couldn't help much but I hope this "Midoricat" may mean something after all.

Knave probably means where the actually image is from (ex. Magazine, etc). It's the tattoo privilage from "Itanshinmon" the 24-hour Interview with Malice Mizer.

Note: It's backwards becasue it's a tattoo.

It is from a book of MALICE MIZER and it looks like a tatoo in a way ^^.... You know the one where they are dressed in army uniforms.... There are pics of this session and interviews... If you want, I can send you the pic of the book ^^ (you can find it sometimes on ebay)

I think it's also the Societe de Parente logo? The 'midoricat' in the corner is the name of a seller on ebay who must have been selling it >_>;

Which era exactly are you looking for (and all of MM or just Gackt?) I own the Retour photobook, which has pictures from some of their earlier Tetsu-indies days to when Gackt left. There are plenty of old Gackt images. I would be glad to scan some for you; there are just so many I'd like to know what you're looking for.

And could you specify what the Uruwashiki Kamen costumes looked like? (I have no idea myself, unless it was the outfits they wore to the '96 Hotwave interview?)

the era I'm specifically looking for is pretty much as early as you can get in the gackt era of Malice Mizer, forexample, a photo of Gackt walking in te door of MM headquarters and saying "hi, my name is gackt, and i'm here for the tryouts!"
I am putting together a compilation of early gackt tracks, whichI have jsut recently finshed editing and remastering (unfortunatley some ofthem still don't sound that great and have that "tape recorder" at the show quality)
but yeah, i need some artwork to accompany them
becaue what MM album is complete without an assload of artwork?

Hehe, ok. I'll scan some Gackt pictures from the earliest lives and photos he appears in.

Okay, so my scanner is being a royal bitch. The stupid bandy thing inside is skipping, so this random black streak appears in varying lengths in the center of the screen. I tried to work around it, and then realized the quality of the scans weren;t even that good, so gave up. =\ Why did my old, GOOD scanner have to die on me?

Anyway. Here are a few I got, starting from the earliest Gackt pictures moving forward. Not the best scans, but I tried.

1995:
"deuxiéme voix"
95voix.jpg

'95.10,10 shibuya On Air West
95-10-10_1.jpg

95-10-10_2.jpg


1996:
"sauterie" (formal shots of each band member -- I could get you all of the others except Kami. His photo is fullpage and I won't be able to fit it around the streak)
96-sauterie.jpg

'96.1,6 shibuya On Air West
96-1-6_01.jpg

96-1-6_02.jpg

96-1-6_03.jpg

the last one is half a picture -- Gackt's playing the piano, but his hands got blobbed out by my deliquent scanner's streak.

Hope this is sorta what you wanted, and sorry for the sucky quality.
