Warnings: None, unless "Gackt" still counts as a warning

Comment: I'm fairly certain that if longing was a song, it would sound like this. The lovely, light instrumentals (I swear a hear a harp in there) contrast so well with Gackt's deep-but-melodious vocals, which, whatever you may think about the man, he can sing heartbreak well. The wail of the electric guitar that breaks in a few times during the song just enhances the emotions of the piece- it reminds me of someone crying. Kami's drumming is nice and steady, grounding the very floaty classical sound. To me, it sounds like Gackt and Kami are musically floating in their own little world... (i am shot 47 times for shipping crimes)

I really love love love the echo-y sound of the guitar. The whole song is beautiful, every single instrument including the singer*'s voice only adding to the nostalgic and yearning atmosphere, but I have to point out the guitar. I don't listen to MM nearly as much as I used to, but every time I do I'm like "damn.... they're so good........"

*Sadly, Malice Mizer did not credit whoever was the vocalist between Tetsu and Klaha, so we'll never know who to thank for singing so wonderfully here...

Truly tragic. We'll never know if he had any other solo projects.
