1/19 Malice Mizer: Gackt, a member of popular visual rock band Malice Mizer, left the music band, Gackt's talent agency said officially on January 19. The talent agency added, "What Gackt wants to do is different from what Malice Mizer is doing now. Malice Mizer will welcome another vocalist," and stated with anger, "As for Gackt, as he is still a rocker making a business contract with our agency, he can't release a CD as a musician of another agency. If he releases something from another agency, we will accuse him of an illegal contract." [Data Source: Nikkan Sports Shimbun, January 20, 1999, Translated by Ken chan]
1 Mana will be participating in a BANDAI video game. It will be an antique game. (Info source: Yû Morisato.)
1999 Gackt shocks fans by announcing (on a radio show?) around November last year that he is going to do a solo this year. It's said he will release a single in spring, and an album in the summer. His fan club, "Kiss-mark" will be formed in Spring. The reality of this issue emerges when MALICE MIZER appear on the cover of FOOL'S MATE (1/99) without Gackt, and Gackt is featured in SHOXX (2/99) by himself, revealing relationship problems with the band.
