Mana vs. Közi

[Agares]

I picked 'They're both equally fabulous'...Two of them simply rocks in J-Rock

Yes! I agree with eminatic.. Kozi is a surrealist.. He just has a medium other than paintings and sculptures such as the great salvador dali.. i loved his moustache..

Kozi to me will forever be greater than Mana... Moi dix Mois' music is truly lacking body.. it sounds so bland and sometimes has large empty spaces... Whereas Kozi is a true artist, sure his compositions can sometimes be bizarre, but compare his recent music as a solo artist to the songs he composed with Malice Mizer... You can tell that he has grown as a musician.. Whereas Mana shall stick to his image and will remain to be a good composer - but he can never be great.

i totaly agree with you about Kozi being very creative and his abilities as a musician has really grown through the years, and i even like more his solo project than any solo project of MM members. But i really like also mana`s music and although it reminds MM`s style and people blame him of being repetitive and such, i think that since he wrote more MM songs than everybody on the band, it is fair that his solo project sounds somewhat like MM. The difference is that mana is putting personal feelings toward music in m10m like the heavy drums and a more metal feel to the music. (because he enjoys trash metal bands and stuff like this). Imo, they are both great ^^

if i had to chose one, it would have to be Kozi, because he is my favorite MM member and i enjoy his solo project more than the others.... but i love all the others solo projects too...lol.
oh...
And because kozi is the silliest among them all ...

I just can't decide between the two... I love them both so much

"They're both equally fabulous"

..I can't choose either of them o.o;

 

[Malice Maze]

You can not have one without the other. Mana is the moon and Közi is the sun. Like that..

 

[Peffkitten]

Kozi all the way because he is the only one i can really cosplay as when i try. Mana isn't my style of cosplaying. plus i like kozi's hair more over mana's

I love how you used this to decide who was the better composer and musician

(Ps - My vote went to... Kozi. Over the years I feel Kozi has risen in my estimation, while Mana has fallen slightly. Plus I listen to Kozi's post-MM work far more than Mana's)

 

[TangledKaya]

Mana because I liked his compostions during Malice Mizer. I like the way they were unpredictable at times. I really am getting a little tired of his work in M10M all being alot alike, though I still enjoy it.

I voted Közi because of his growth as an artist post-Malice Mizer.
I personally love both Közi and Moi dix Mois, but Közi's solo work has some kind of element of extreme originality. Whereas Moi dix Mois has some songs that are better than others, I have been impressed with every single Közi song I've heard. Moi dix Mois' DI seemed to me like Mana experimenting with his sound and image, NO was amazing, but when I heard Catharsis for the first time I was in a certain sense of awe that I've never experienced while listening to music.

I think they complemented each other well in Malice Mizer ^_^ Listening to Moi Dix Mois you can kind of tell how Közi curbed some of Mana's more... shall we say... self-indulgent impulses.

Musically, I think they're equally talented in composition. Beast of Blood and Illuminati are my two all-time favorite MM songs. As for post-MM stuff, I haven't heard Kozi's yet, but I think I'll have to try, because I love electronica, more than goth metal.

However, Kozi has also managed to irk me sometimes with some of his songs, while Mana has never done so. So, I voted for Mana.
