Those Yu~ki pics (and that other Malice Mizer guy too) are awesome
I like his little tie pin too
Who's that other guy in the first one? (and: where did you find these?)
I've got some new scans too!
First off, an interview from "QUARTER MAZE" vol. 3, from 1993 sometime after "BRAIN TRASH" but before Kami joined - in other words probably in late February or early March 1993. This has got to be the first Malice Mizer interview ever, or close to it.

Interesting points:
- Malice Mizer distributed a free 1-track demo called "I KNOW THE REASON FOR HER SADNESS" in Osaka?! Never heard of this and it's not on their official site. If it's true, it must be absurdly rare. Or maybe they're just referring to the SADNESS demo which was also distributed in Osaka, though after this article was written.
- The truth behind how Mana invented the name "Malice Mizer". He wanted to pick a name that evoked the European atmosphere, so he was looking through Europe pictures when suddenly the name just came to him. I never believed his later nonsense about it being French, and now I'm vindicated.
- Kozi's blood type is C, he's 57 meters tall, weighs 550 tons, and hates DUMBASSES
The profile questions are:
1. Date of birth
2. Blood type
3. Height and weight
4. Shoe size
5. Favorite tobacco
6. Favorite alcohol
7. Favorite food
8. Least favorite food
9. Type of girl you like
10. Type of girl you hate (Mana hates weirdos XD)
11. What you want most right now
12. What kind of present would make you happy
Moving on, from the same issue:

A picture of a Malice Mizer signboard and list of presents. Note the interesting Mana signature at the top right. The presents:
- A hairspray signed by Tetsu (?!?!
)
- Photo signed by Kozi
- A battery signed by Mana (again - LOL) and a pick with his name
- Foundation signed by Yu~ki
And from the next issue, QUARTER MAZE vol. 4: Mana and Yu~ki's hair tips
Introduction
The Tips
Mana used Pantene shampoo and Finesse mousse at the time
And he'd been growing his hair for 5 years.
