Why not? His bass is the most present in every song MM has ever done. Let me start from the beginning though, so that you get the whole picture and know that I'm not your typical "Oh I just lovelovelove 'so and so' to death!" type of person. I never really had a favorite in Malice Mizer which meant I started reading around to learn more about the members. Even though I was drawn to Yu~ki when I first saw him (well, actually I was drawn to the guy in the orange because I didn't know his name. Ya know, the outift from Au Rev-- oh nevermind.), I didn't want to jump to conclusions and choose someone who was a complete self-centered ass. (I have made that mistake before when I began liking Gackt, don't worry, I corrected myself of course.) After I found out the guy in the orange was Yu~ki, I found myself looking for his name on every Malice Mizer site I went to (and let me tell you, over 80% of them were in Japanese), instead of Mana, Gackt, Közi, Kami, or Klaha who I now found obsolete. I read how sweet and calm headed he was in most of the translated interviews (don't tell me, I already figured it out, I NEED to learn Japanese.). In everything I read about Yu~ki, nothing seemed to say anything negative about him. And his outward look didn't phase me a bit. (although Asura was scared to death when she first saw him.) I actually liked his look, 'So beautiful...' I thought. It was all Yu~ki, no one else. He seemed to follow his own road and not try to 'blend' or 'copy' Mana or Közi's style. Plus, he is quite cute on stage when he wants to be... I'm not getting in to that though. Soon I began listening for Yu~ki's bass in every Malice Mizer song I heard. He is VERY good at what he does and I decided I wanted to play as good as him. (And believe me, I have a lot more respect for him now because it is not easy to play the bass guitar.) Now, Yu~ki is my idol. I look up to him in many things. I want to be myself still but I want to be as good as him because I know I will never be better, since he seems to improve all the time. Yu~ki (to me) is the perfect guy. He's sweet, talented, nice, shy, fun, handsome, cool, unique, beautiful, and just Yu~ki. (Did I stress the point?) I would have to spend time with him to actually be able to know that all those things are true, but I don't doubt one of them. There are not enough men out there that have firm heads on their shoulders and I know there are no others like Yu~ki. |
