I was watching Brise live just the other day, because I was having Malice Mizer withdrawal symptoms. Kami looked so cute behind his drum kit.
*Sigh*
Kami is love 4laugh
Or....was love?
No, we can still say he is love, right? Because he always will be

Kami deserves his own Bio here. 
Name: Kami
Real name: 神村右狂 (Ukyou KAMIMURA)
Date of birth: 2/1/1972
Date of death: 6/21/1999
Birthplace: Ibaraki
Blood type: A
Height: 175cm
Weight- 57 kg
Band history: 3P Mayonaise ?? - ??
Kneuklid Romance ?? - 3/1993
Malice Mizer 3/1993 - eternity
Instument- drums
Kami started playing the drums in fifth grade and was very competitve to get the drum part seeing as only three people were selected to play it. He practiced for hours and hours just to get the drum part. After that, Kami did not touch a drum for a very long time. When he enterd high school, he started saving up for his own drum set. "At first I wanted to play a guitar," Kami says, "but I couldn't. Then I recalled that I'd played percussion once." He said that it was only a simple set, but he loved in none the less.
Kami would play his drums for hours and hours on end, only stopping for school and tennis. At 17, Kami was determined to be a drummer. After graduating high school, he moved to Tokyo and joined a punk band. He was not fond of the music genre. He wanted to play a percussion part that which could develop more and requires more technique. Eventaully, he found a visual kei band named Kneuklid Romance. After that, Yu~ki came up to him and asked him to join Malice Mizer and Kami declined. Shortly after that, Mana call him up and Kami agreed to join as a temporary memeber. He offically joined them a half a year later.
Secrets about Kami? He's a MAJOR war freak. "I was not interested in the history itself . . . Then I happened to watch the TV program on National broadcasting channel which dealt with a captain of old Japanese army, and I was so impressed by it that I kept watching it every week," Kami said. His favorite captain is Shingen Takeda and his second is Masamune Date. His life style was effected by the stories he read about those two. When he started becoming interested in them, Malice Mizer was trying to take over the Indies so he could kind of relate to Takeda's taking over Japan. He's crazy about 'seppuku' (performing hara-kiri[suiside of "death before dishonor"]) and fortresses. He also owned over 80 bottles of perfume but only wore 4, "I just liked the bottles," said Kami. And just to clear this up, Kami's hair really WAS long enough to the point where he could sit on it and it was ALL natural. And there are no fans underneath his drumset; his 'hair defing gravity' is actually something he can do. On stage, Kami usually seeks "sanctuary" from Gackt from behind his drumset but he says he like to 'flirt' with Gackt and harrass/annoy Yu~ki too.
†On June 25, 1999, Kami was found dead in his house. His death day was actually four days previous, and he died of subarachnoid hemmorhage, killing him quickly and painlessly. There was a small funeral in which Mana, Kozi, Yu~ki, his parents and a few friends attended. Kami's really good friend/band member, Gackt, did not hear the news until later; he was on a solo tour. Kami was only 26 years old and one of the best drummers in the history of music.†
Not mentioned here: Mana told the rest of MM Not to tell Gackt that Kami had died....one of the only things about Mana that i REALLY don't like....

See, I had read about Kami's funeral once, and I was confused when I saw that Mana, Kozi, and Yu~ki went, but not Gackt. I knew that he and Gackt had been really, really good friends, so it really confused me as to why Gackt wouldn't go to the funeral.
Gackt must've been furious...along with feeling absolutely crushed about his friend's death.
I love Mana-sama, but that's a really f**ked up thing to do.
It's so hard for me to believe that Mana would do that...
Anyway, this is a much more detailed acount of Kami-sama's life than I've ever read. Where'd you find it? If you don't mind telling me.
One more question, and my rambling will be over, I promise... sweatdrop
When they put the post about Kami-sama's death up on MM's site, they said that they weren't going to put out Kami's real name or age. But everyone obviously knows it now. Did they decide to tell everyone later, or did it leak out somehow? This has confused me a lot for a while.. confused
Ok, I'm seriously done. >.<

I got the info from here: http://webstudent21.basd.k12.wi.us/Kami_bio.html
And its not that hard to imagine him doing that, considering even though Mana is gorgeous, dosn't mean hes not a jerk xD Which he is, unfortunatly....@.@
And that last part, about mana doing that not telling gackt thing, was added by me...I found it at a good source, just don't remember xD its been years.
And it probably leaked :/ Im sure.

Treacle_Faerie When they put the post about Kami-sama's death up on MM's site, they said that they weren't going to put out Kami's real name or age. But everyone obviously knows it now. Did they decide to tell everyone later, or did it leak out somehow? Kami's real name has been known for quite a while. I have an old recording of a Malice Mizer concert from when Tetsu was still their vocalist, and the audience yells the names of the various members. At first they say "Kami", but soon they start yelling "Ukyou" in stead.

Treacle_Faerie I prefer to live in my denial world where Kami is still alive and still running around being pretty 3nodding
The weirdest thing that ever happened to me was when my health teacher assigned me to do a project on subarachnoid brain hemmoraging. I wasn't too keen on it. crying
Now I'm going to go watch Bel Air and pretend everything's all right with the world.

Didn't they dedicate it to him or something? Then again, I guess my information sources aren't too reliable... @ Yukina7: Hmm. I guess whoever translated the message did it wrong. o.o
