KHAOS/KINEMA

Kozi's first solo effort after the disbandment of MALICE MIZER is a 2-cd single which, on one hand, proves to be 'khaotic', and on the other is's playful, yet somewhat melancholy. The four songs are wonderful, however, and it'll leave you wanting for more. If you're just about to experience Kozi's solo music, this should be your first sample. You'll love it.

Khaos The first song is pure genious. ISM is a song full of eletronic sounds that make you discover every little sound each time you listen to it, Kozi's voice here, apart from the chorus, is full of efects almost like a robot. The lyrics are kind of weird, but that's what makes it so cool! If there is a PV for Kozi, it must be ISM, it is just genious and reflects at best Kozi's solo sound. Great start, now for the second song! Now comes Cacophony. This song is like a big crazy junction of many heavy eletronic sounds, like you are going mad or something - very CHAOTIC. At first maybe you won't like it and find it very noisy, but if you listen to it closely, you will find a very catchy melody to it. Very exciting. Kinema First song is Promenade! It has a very mellow sound to it, and it reminds me of MALICE MIZER's Brise. It has a nostalgic and kind of sad feeling , but at the same time with some kind of hope. It has good lyrics too. Now comes the famous Honey Vanity. Well, this song is very catchy, indeed, it has a Bossa-nova feel to it and with romantic lyrics. Kozi's voice here is without effects, so you can listen to his voice more clearly. Overall, perfect release!!!

The Kozi first solo single proves that he is a very good song writer. Divided in 2 cd and 2 parts, the KHAOS part is aggressive, the KINEMA part is very smooth and agreable.
