Hi guys! I am gonna propose here a very difficult subject! It's a very big step from here now! So I ask you a little bit patience. IT'S GONNA BE A VERY LONG THREAD!
1. INTRODUTION
So, we know that mostly of VK bands brings to the stage a story and characters. So it's like MALICE MIZER, LAREINE, Moi dix Mois, etc...
And I have to admit that one of the most difficults bands to weave their stories is my favourite one - MALICE MIZER. That's because we can see a plenty of movies, differents styles of PV's, costumes, albums, influences... anyway.
One day I kind released my mind to go futher with MALICE MIZER: "what if they are making different stories (obvious), but in the same universe!?"
This happened when I was translating Ma Chérie to portuguese, my native toungue. And there's one part of the song that says: "I noticed for the first time in a long time, maybe half a century, a cuddling couple." And on the stage performances (that repeat again in Deep Sanctuary VI) Mana Sama, with his female character propping on the Yu~ki's back. Even Kamijo was like waving to them.
And I started to think: "Why centuries!?; Is there a couple that tried to be together in all this time but they can't or couldn't?" And that reminds me of the firsts Malice Mizer concerts, the Tetsu Last Live, for example. With vampire Yu~Ki biting Mana's character, or in the Voyage Sans Retour as well.
But, as you may see, that mini brainstorm started to be too messy. So I chose a different approach for the situation.
So, this was an introdution of the subject. Now I am gonna really try to make my points here...
2. CONNECTING THE POINTS
I have to say here that I am not confirming anything. This is a speculation. Or you may say: A THEORY. So, you may disagree or add some another points. But I guess that I have enough points to make a step and share with you, simply.
2.1 MA CHÉRIE
I chose, as a first step the Ma Chérie song because is the only one (Kioku to sora too, but in a different lyric version) that was performed in all eras. And, the last song performed in DSVI. So, it's like a song that marks so deeply MALICE MIZER. It's kind their THING. However wasn't enough. So I started to think about the MALICE MIZER philosophy.
2.2 GARDENIA>BEAST OF BLODD>GARNET and MALICE MIZER's PHILOSOPHY
The second step that I chose it was correlate MM's philosophy, that is pretty clear in their name Malice and Misery, with one of their last work - Cardinal. But mostly with their three last songs and PV's. And the order of release is VERY IMPORTANT. Gardenia > Beast of Blood > Garnet.
Let's get a perspective point here. The rose: Bara. Or the Flower: Gardenia with the The MALICE MIZER's philosophy. In some interviews that I read in Tetsu era they say like: The human being was made as a good essence, but the Malice and Misery corrupts them. Or, it's like, is inherent to human malice and misery.
In Gardenia we see a pure and gently (that's even a lyrics of the song) flower. It's represented by a blondy little girl (doll) as well. HOWEVER, in the Beast of Blood PV we see two little blond girls wearing black, with a machiavellian boy. The blood tub brings back others PV's like ILLUMINATI, that happened a soul sale and a pact with evil entities. (I remind Baptism of Blood as well, but I never studied the lyrics of this song)
So in Beast of Blood, we can see that the with flower was corrupted with red (reminds of COLOR ME BLOOD RED). As a pact or something similar.
Then, in GARNET we can see the Eden's Garden biblical passage, but with their vision. (I AM NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT VERACITY OR RELIGION BTW) . So, in PV you can see the all band members working as a sent by the serpent of the clip. And, corrupting that woman (maybe Eve) with the garnet of Éden. The garnet can be also seen as a materialized philosophy of the red flower. That's even a part of the clip that: as the flowers raises of the Red Lake (you can relate with the Blood Tub of Beast of Blood) all the members raises too. With their faces all covered with red flowers. (The members are hooded, and their costume reminds me the same people of Sur TV beggining, or Bara ni Irodorareta people on the audience).
When the woman "eats" the garnet of the Éden she throws up red petals, and the very last scene of GARNET that is a rain of red petals (THE SAME RAIN OF RED PETALS IN SHIROI HADA NI KUURU AI TO KANASHIMI NO RONDO LIVE PERFORMANCE AND PV)
Almost the same routine happens with another first triad of the Cardinal DVD: SAIKAI NO CHI TO BARA>KYOUMU NO NAKA DE NO YUUGI>SHIROI HADA NI KUURU AI TO KANASHIMI NO RONDO. Basically we have a very beautiful blond woman protected and veiled, but you can see that she is running in a kind of maze; running away of the members of MM in Kyoumu no Naka De No Yuugi. And in the Shiroi Hada Ni Kuuru Ai To Kanashimi No Rondo, that is like a funeral in PV, and another rain of petals (reminds me the funeral of Bel Air). Even the same girl, was arrested at the audience area in Bara ni Irodorareta! That people arresting her reminds me of some Sur TV footages, but I am gonna talk about it later.
2.3 THE ROSES
So, you can realize that the red roses for Malice Mizer is VERY IMPORTANT symbol. You may see in their performances. Bring back from your memory the DSVI again. When it is the MALICE MIZER's time, presence, and performing, they presents theirselves as the Red Roses. They hang the roses and throw to the audience. Again, is their THING.
3. GACKT ERA
Ok, that's the hardest part, connecting the eras. We have to be consistent and coherent. But that's why I am calling as a UNIVERSE. Because it would be another stories with similar patterns that keeps rolling in their centuries (Ma Chérie).
But, going further from here we HAVE to assume, even for a while, that everything that I am writting here has a minimal of sense.
Another clip that calls me attention is the Bois de Merveilles performance. We know that Merveilles tells a story (WITH EVEN A STORY TELLER - the Story Teller performed by Közi is VERY IMPORTANT here, because he's like transcends time, as Ma Chérie can transcends time) about the continuation of Judith and Gackt. When Judith's destiny was decided by death, Gackt entered in despair and tried to bring her back to life. There was a pact in ILLUMINATI, lamentations in Brisé, or in Aegean ~Sugisarishi Kaze to Tomoni~, and goes on...
But I'll go slowly...:
3.1 BOIS DE MERVEILLES' PERFORMANCE
When you watch Sur TV, a lot of elements, signals and symbols are shown. But there's something quite interesting in Bois de Merveilles performance. Remember that thing that happend in Garnet, with the woman eating the forbidden fruit!?
Let's presume that is Mana Sama's job here to continues with the routine of the sins. When he visites every single character, they accept Mana, but soon realizes that he's (better, she's) working for evil, and expel him. Until in the final part of the first half, Mana gives then a apple (a blue apple appears in some footage of Shinwa), and they eat and perish.
After that, on the second part of Bois de Merveilles, each character evils side (let's presume that too) are fighting with their own parts. In another words is all corrupted by Malice and Misery at this point.
At very beginning of the Sur TV, we can see a cemetery, and the Hooded People reaching there maybe trying to wake up something (maybe is the vampire performed by Yu~Ki). But a coffin with Yu~Ki's going out there is seen in Sur TV as well as Bara Ni Irodorareta.
3.2 LE CIEL
I really would like to be more certainly about this song. There is a PV and a Stage Performance for it. There's one of the most difficult songs and performance for interpretation. But, assuming the colors. Gackt was a white angel. So why he transformed to a black angel in Merveilles l'espace? Is he a corrupted and bloody angel now? That's is because he made a pack with evil entities to bring Judith's life back again (or there's an another character from Gackt)? Is the little girl of the Le Ciel's PV like a figure of Judith too? I don't have these answers.
However, it's convenient right now talking about blonde woman figure.
4 BLONDE WOMAN
I started this issue saying that, in MM's universe, everytime when a blondy woman appears maybe a sign of pure, non corrupted being by their own philosophy. That's why is a difficult thing to achieve. We can se that in Verte Aile movie. As most as Gackt tries to save her, more her destiny is marked with blood. Maybe that's is a symbol that reveals is impossible, for every member of the band, reaches. Unless in Gardenia. In Garnet we have a part of the song that says: Stairs to Heaven. And, in the Gardenia's PV we have a White Stair. In DSVI photos we have a Stair too. Some of the Voyage Era photos we can see a Stair too. In Aegean Kai ni Sasasu (of Tetsu's era) we almostly like have something about stair too.
Anyway, going back to the blonde woman again. The most curious scene for me is a part of the PV: Mayonaka ni Kawashita Yakusoku.
4.2 BARA NO KONREI YU~KI'S CHARACTER - DRACULA
One of the most curious thing in that movie, mainly with the Dracula's character is that. Dracula wants Cecil!
Ok... but why this is curious!?
I don't know if you realized but Dracula claims that Cecil is a kind of his property. And Klaha is in their way. BUT WAIT. How at beginning of the movie someguy that lives in a VERY DISTANT country sends to you a letter saying that wants see you!? If they're like relatives, or knows each other. Is very curious that Dracula is so surely that Cecil is a woman of your own.
So, I see that Cecil "being" and Dracula for other centuries already knew each other. But, in this life, Cecil didn't realized it, until Dracula appear as "dream" in her bed.
And we know that a vampire character Yu~Ki performed it a lot! Even the earlies Tetsu's Era.
So let's talk about Tetsu's Era.
I AM GONNA MAKE A CONTINUATION IN A REPLY BELLOW,
