HIZAKI's dresses, outfits & looks

I think some people are looking for the different dresses (especially) Hizaki wore, for a reason or another, so I'd like to post the photos I have of his different outfits, from HIZAKI GRACE PROJECT to the Revival of Versailles.

(Sorry, I'll update JUPITER's era's looks later :)

KAMIJO - Yamiyo no Lion [Song Meaning]

 "Rosicrucians seek to share their treasures; but those who want to steal them fall under the power of Lion"

 Symbol of the Prince of this World (Symbole du Prince de ce monde)

"The Rose+Croix is Patient, his first and most important victory is the conquest of his own self.
It is the victory against the Lion, which caused serious damages to some of the most zealous fellowers of the Rose+Croix"
"He is not to be terraced by a furious and thoughtless attack, but we must bring him to surrender against the patience and magnanimity.
The true Rose Croix seeks to defeat his enemies with kindness, and his haters with donations.
S/He does not accumulate on their heads insults, but the burning fires of love.
He does not persecute his enemies with the sword and the fagots, but leave the weeds grow between them, which then, Nature will separate them."

Yamiyo no Lion

Dark Night's Lion

the Night

Night is the name given to that period of the day when the Sun doesn't illuminate the Earth anymore, the Dark side of the day ...
If we consider that the human is supposed to live good days and sad days in his life equally, we'd compare the good ones to the day (while there is Sun) and the bad ones to the night! In Arabic, for example, when we talk about the night of a nation, it symbolizes the bad days and years of this nation, which generally refers to a time of wars and revolutions ... Of troubles! In the Japanese language too! We often hear in their songs, phrases like "my night is not over yet ..." which may mean that I still have troubles, I still suffer, or "the sun will soon rise for you and end your night! " which may mean here: Soon, something or someone is going to appear in your life and change it, erase your Night (your worries and problems) ...

DARK NIGHT

YAMI-YO, Dark Night! Let's take the symbolism of the Night as a basis here. We're talking here of a "serious" dark one! In life there are often problems, from our childhood to our death, just as with a family, problems can happen from time to time, let's call them Nights! However, there's a problem that caused a divorce ... We've to call it Dark Night ...
Dark Night refers to a very major concern, whith damages that may lead to the full "destruction" of the thing or the person who undergoes it (eg: divorce destroys a family ...)

THE LION

King of Beasts! Is his nickname, or just The King! Here we could accentuate the "Vive le Roi" (Long live the King) by Kamijo! Which King?! ... I invite you to read this Masonic passage linked to the Knight Rose + Croix's degree:

The Rose+Croix knows how to stay silent [...] Just as a Minister of the Interior doesn't shout out the state's secrets, the Rose Croix does not parade before the public of what the King inside of him told him about; this King is nobler and wiser than all the kings and princes of the earth; because they do prevail and govern only by the authority and the power they have received from Him.
His secret is lifted when the King orders him to speak, because then it's not him who talks, but the Truth through his mouth.

You can read words like "inside of him" and "orders him to speak" ... Looks like the King is another person residing "inside of thte Rose+Croix" ... The synonym of "King" in this context is "ROSE", it is simply what the religious (monotheists) call 'soul' and say that it's a part of what they call "God" (with capital G) .. . I invite you to read again the text above!
So I said that the Lion is the King? Of course not, I will re-copy the text in the beginning of this article, read it wisely please:

"The Rose+Croix is Patient, his first and most important victory is the conquest of his own self.
It is the victory against the Lion, which caused serious damages to some of the most zealous fellowers of the Rose+Croix"

Following a simple deduction's logic, we get:
The Rose+Croix is patient.
His first victory = His most important victory = Conquest of his own Self.
"It's" the victory against the Lion, so we understand that:
Conquest of his own Self = Victory against the Lion.

Victory against the Lion? Excelling the Lion ... Who caused "serious damages" to some of the "zealous" fellowers of the Rose+Croix ... This text belongs to "Knight Rose+Croix's Signs", it is the "detailed" description of the first sign, which is Patience!

When can't we be patient? ...
When we're in troubles? ...

"Religious" people are usually the most patient people, they remain patient and positive despite the poverty they may go through, pain, troubles, problems and obstacles ... Why? Because they believe that this life is a test that provides access to Heaven ... or Hell! ...
Some would say that the Rose+Croix is ​​religious because of her/his virtues ... radically wrong! The Rose+Croix is the highest degree of Rosicrucianism ... To reach this degree one has to flourish his Rose! But not by following a religion! Not by being dogmatic! But with an open-mind, continuous reflexion and above all ... the Love the Truth! Following a religion and its deity(ies) is to be sure that we are on the right path, it is to stop doubting, being dogmatic ... It is arrogant, stupid and worst of all, we can not say we love Truth like this. Rosicrucianism is about Freedom! ... However, to achieve the level of Rose+Croix, we ​​surely have to be a Rosicrucian first! ... And this is what the Rosicrucian goes through, she/he has to face the Lion ... In the Dark Night, as "The Rose+Croix is Patient, his first and most important victory is the conquest of his own self. It is the victory against the Lion "... the Rose Croix has already defeated the Lion!

What kind of troubles the Rosicrucian can face?
In the "Manual of the Rosicrucian," Spencer H. Lewis's book, we can read:
"the first stage of transition is a borderline state which is remarkable for its Cosmic touch."

State of Borderlin ... Medicine calls it BORDERLINE PERSONNALITY DISORDER, more informations here.

What can switch the mood of a person from an edge to another? What can make us so hypersensitive? Blurred image of self ...?
The answer is surely what Descartes found essential! The doubt! If we want to reach the Truth, we must doubt!
Another point in common between these people is that they doubt everything and anything! ... So even in their belief and god(s)!

The borderline state is that war against the Lion ... A Dark Night... Psychiatrists have classified the BPD mental illness as "chronic".
It seems from here that the Lion will always live within us! However, we've to confront It and make It docile! But to make it docile, we must first defeat It.

Is the Lion an enemy? What is It?
Serious damages, It causes ... If a borderline read this, even if he has no idea what the Lion in Rosicrucianism means, he surely will understand what kind of damages it is about... Imagine yourself in love with someone, and that person loves you too, so good! ... And then, like your reflection in the mirror faces you in a dream, and tells you, you're mine! Just for me! ... Your image threatens you. Invites you to isolation, as if you were possessed by a demon who wants you only for him/her! ... Your behavior will change, and unconsciously, you will do everything to push the person you love away from you, involuntarily ! And if the person remains and forgives your faults, you'll do again the the same mistakes ... Until the person abandons you. Here you wake up, and you will say "what did I do ?!" but it's too late ... The next time you'll see your reflection, you will see your enemy ... Contemporary medicine explains this as only one thing: "mental illness or insanity" ... But there's surely a good reason to become like this! We understand by living this, that we own nothing! But that reflection in the mirror, causing severe damages and leading us to hate ourselves should be overwhelmed! And for that, we need the help of the King inside of us, religious would say that it is God and cling to their beliefs, however the Rosicrucian clings to the Truth ... He knows that he has nothing to lose, not even himself? He knows that this is an illusion, so... He waits... He is patient when he loses his loved ones, Patient with the fact of being abandoned, Patient with the fact of looking like an insane ... He beats the Lion, by the greatness of his self, controls the Lion, who has only one aim: to awaken us.

The Dark Night, means for me a "Gnostic existential crisis." Because, taken by doubts, the Rosicrucian can question herself/himself questions like: Am I on the right path? Is there really a cosmic power that controls everything? What's my consciousness? Will I be conscious after my Death? etc ... The Gnostic falls into what's beyond atheism ... Nihilism. Knowing that the Rosicrucians are people not interested in this life ... They can fall in suicide ... Serious and lasting depression ... And else ... And all this is "very normal". However ... the Rosicrucian must not lose against the Lion. So s/he has to be ... Patient.

Lyrics' meaning will be updated soon.
We wish you have an idea from the text above.
Yamiyo no Lion invites to the Virtue of Patience. Everything in its time.

KAMIJO - Yamiyo no Lion [Signification] [FR]

"Les Rose-Croix cherchent à partager leurs trésors ; mais ceux qui veulent les dérober tombent sous la puissance du Lion"

 Symbole du Prince de ce monde. 

"Le Rose+Croix est Patient, sa première et sa plus importante victoire est la conquête de son propre soi.
C’est la victoire sur le Lion, qui a causé de graves dommages à quelques-uns des plus zélés suivants de la Croix+Rose."

"On ne le terrasse pas par une attaque furieuse et irréfléchie; mais il faut l’amener à se rendre à la patience et à la grandeur d’âme.
Le véritable Rose Croix cherche à vaincre ses ennemis par la bonté et ceux qui le haïssent par les dons.
Il n’accumule pas sur leurs têtes, les injures, mais les feux ardents de l’amour.
Il ne persécute pas ses ennemis par le glaive et les fagots, mais il laisse croître les mauvaises herbes avec le froment jusqu’à leur maturité où alors la Nature les séparera."

Roses and Crosses in the Visual Kei Scene... Rosicrucianism!

Rose+Croix!

Rosicrucianism

The second song in Kamijo's album [Heart] is called Rose +Croix.
What does mean Rose+Croix?

First of all: IT IS NOT A SECT, not a secret society! It was secret in the past because ignorant religious had power, but not anymore! It's a philosophical movement based on Gnosticism (search and worship of Knowledge and Truth), Mysticism (Worship of Eternity, Beauty, Wisdom and Truth, and calling all these "God") and Hermetism (which is more based on the esoteric and occult knowledge and researches). The fellows of this movement are called rosicrucians, and not Rose+Croix.

The litteral meaning or Rose+Croix: From french Rose = Rose and Croix = Cross, can be translated to Rosy Cross.
Meaning of Rose+Croix in the rosicrucian context: The are many sub-movements of the Rose+Croix, different societies, secret societies, orders and schools... But they all agree that the Cross symbolize the body of the human, that is ephemeral, and the Rose symbolizes its soul or essence.
There are MANY rosicrucian orders, each of them teach rosicrucianism in its way! The biggest one is called the A.M.O.R.C. (Ancient & Mystical Order of the Rose+Croix) here is their presentation for better knowledge and understanding! ^^

Rosicrucian beliefs:
-What they mean by God isn't a being sitting on a throne somewhere in the skies.
-There is no hell no heaven.
-Most of rosicrucians believe in the Reincarnation.
-Humans reasons to be are: Gnosis (Knowledge and Awareness of who we truely are), to bloom (by Gnosis). In one word: To Learn.
-Sins ?: They don't believe in them the same way religious do! There are no sins, because the Rose may bloom, and may stop bloom or have a pause... And true, it may decays, and that's what they call sins, but a decayed Rose won't suffer for ever etc, but just stop existing forever...

Famous rosicrucians, mystics and gnostics:
-Lewis H. Spencer (for neutral people)
-Max Heindel (for Christians)
-Rumi (for Muslims)
-René Descartes (Philospher and Mathematician)
-Pythagoras (Mathematician, Occultist and Philosopher)
-Edith Piaf (Artist)
-And else...

As for the Visual Kei scene...

Roses! Roses! My music for Roses!

"I sing for you!! " like said Kamijo and Asagi!

So a little capitulation?
Let's go in an alphabetical order! :)

Ali Project! Arika Takarano-sama! Well this woman is awesome! :) And the signs are too much for her no? And let's make clear something, I'm not telling that anyone saying "ROSE" is a rosicrucian... Surely no :) So, her lyrics and songs are full of Hermetism and Roses! The most awesome one is "Watashi no Bara wo Kaminasai!" which means "Burn my Rose!" So here is video with photos of Ali Project, from the booklets of their CD and magazine photos with hermetic and gnostic symbology! :)

ASAGI! D! With no comments! ^^ The man is a mystic anyway, most of the songs are love poetry for... God? Asking God for pardon and else... It's more clear with D anyway!

Femme Fatale! Yes, Kaya! The easiest way to recognize it is to read the tracklist of ARCANA, which is Tarot's compositors. And you'll find a track with in its name "RosenKreutz" :) Which is the german translation of Rosy Cross, Rose Croix.

Hizaki! Some of his compositions and lyrics really went mystics and... Martinists! Like MASQUERADE! Or just like we can see him in his album ROSARIO which means that Crucifix we hold... But the Crucifix he holds isn't christian! What's crucified is a Rose! Not a Christ... Rosy Cross...

Kamijo! Should I talk about him?

Kaya! Also... ? Does Kaya have a song within he doesn't pronounce the word "Rose"? I'd like to know it! ^^

Lin -the End of Corruption World- & PHANTASMAGORIA... So gnostic as a band! Kisaki is really awesome! :)

MALICE MIZER... And vampire stories! Between, about vampire, let me say it again... A vampire is someone who lives eternally ... And the body of the vampire never decays... The legend says that once someone reaches the highest level of rosicrucianism, he becomes a ROSE+CROIX... An eternal, a perfect! ... A minor god! But not God... R+C are eternal and perfect, and they drink blood, guess which one? The Royal Blood, the Blood of the King that flows in their veins! They're the Descendants of God, of the Rose! THE ROSE symbolizes God, the King and Creator, OR Goddess, Queen and Creatrice! :) the Supreme Being in rosicrucianism is asexualized! Don't have a gender! ... Vampires are those who are the most close to God... They are Nobles... Aristocrats of this world and universe!

Matenrou Opera... Songs like "Maincast wa Kangaeru" with "Tonari ni suwaru Taiyou", "Burning Soul" and the albums "AVALON" and "JUSTICE" are supreme examples! :D

Moi dix Mois... LA DIX CROIX! LA ROSE CROIX! ...

Should we talk about Versailles?...

MEJIBRAY meaning

Some people are saying also some stupidities about this name!
And I don't think they could be this stupid to code their name on sensless basis!

Let's have a look at MEJIBRAY's logo!

A brain, an eye, ears!

"Mejibray's news" said that the meaning is just in the logo! I agree!
They said that the meaning is:
ME for Eye
JI for ears
BRAY for BRAIN
You can find their full article here.

Well I partially agree with them, I've another proposition however!

ME 目 Means Eye

JI 自　Means Being (self) (oneself) [Jibun]

BRAY ブレイ Is from ブレイン BRAIN

I propose this meaning: Brain of the Eye Being.

Weird huh?

I propose this, because MEJIBRAY talks a lot about demons, possession and... Mental disorders and else...
MEJIBRAY for me means "the way that one-eye being thinks"

Let's say, you're possessed by a being, entity, which controls your brain, so, controls your movments, thoughts, tells and actions! And all you can see in that being is the eye! Yeah one eye! ...

You'll say: Why is there ears on the logo? And MEJIBRAY's News aren't wrong about it? I'm not saying they're wrong!
Just that I've another proposition here! And ears just mean "sound"... Music!

Meaning of Moi dix Mois in a video

Something missing in this video is the talking of Kabbala and its relation with the number 10.

Vampire dans le Rosicrucianisme

Qu'est-ce qu'être un Vampire dans le contexte rosicrucien artistique...

Bien connu par Bram Stoker, les vampires sont définis comme des êtres sans réflexion (dans le miroir), bien connu... L'image qui se rapporte au miroir représente selon la croyance, une image de l'âme... Les vampires n'en ont pas, en d'autres termes ils n'ont pas d'âme, ils sont sans Rose, et afin de pouvoir vivre ils doivent toujours porter une Rose sur eux (comme pour la chanson de Kaya qui suit Vampire Requiem, Curse of Rose avec plus de détails ici...).
Mais il ne faut pas oublier que Bram Stoker en personne fut aussi un membre de l'AMORC, rosicrucien à son tour le roman de Dracula reste à porter une toute autre image sur les vampires que celle à laquelle se réfèrent d'autres artistes rosicruciens..

Si on étudie un peu le Soufisme ou voir le Chiisme, spécialement en ce dernier on trouvera dit que les prophètes et les gens saints (nommés par les rosicruciens: Rose-Croix) une fois ils meurent leur corps ne se dégénèrent pas... Il reste intacte, car ils n'ont plus de réincarnation, tout comme on parle du vampire qui dort dans son cercueil ... Celui-ci ne se dégénère pas... Ce Rose-Croix ainsi nommé.

Le Vampire représente le Rose-Croix... Un éternel mineur...
On assimile l'éternité à Dieu, dit Être Suprême ...
Le Rose-Croix, ce saint, cet ami de Dieu comme le nomment les Soufis, tend vers Dieu, en toute chose... En sa solitude, en son éternité aussi...

Vampire en l'art rosicrucien sombre symbolise le Rose-Croix... Celui qui s'est donné et a atteint le degré de R.C et qui est maintenant éternel, ne se dégénère pas...

Les vampires se nourrissent de sang, qu'est le sang du Rose-Croix?
On se réfère à nouveau à l'image d'une rose. Cette belle fleur afin d'atteindre ses pétales, on passe par sa tige qui est épineuse... Tout le monde désire les hauteurs mais ils demandent des sacrifices, afin d'atteindre les pétales on doit marcher sur le chemin épineux (le chemin du paradis est épineux on dit...) et à chaque pas, avec nos pieds nus, ont se fait des blessures et on saigne... Ce sang nourris le Roi, nourris le Grand et Roi des Vampires (Dieu) parfois on ne pense qu'à abandonner cette tige... Elle est douloureuse.. Une partie du Roi est en nous, ce qu'on appelle âme. Cette partie a un besoin constant de se nourrir de sang versé au nom du Grand Roi... C'est ce qui maintient l'éternité du Rose-Croix. (Voir Kamijo - La Vie en Rose)

Le Sang Royal est le sang de Dieu..

Soufisme - Rosicrucianisme - Visual Kei

 

Rappelons-nous du dernier titre de Dix Infernal…. C’est : Dix est infini

Mana-sama, rosicrucien, il obéit forcément à ces règles de la Rose+Croix :

1. Aime Dieu par-dessus tout.

2. Consacre ton temps au développement spirituel.

3. Sois entièrement altruiste.

4. Tempéré, modeste, énergique et silencieux.

5. Apprends à connaître l'origine des métaux en toi.

6. Garde-toi des prétentions.

7. Vis dans une adoration constante du bien suprême.

8. Apprends la théorie avant la pratique.

9. Exerce la charité envers tous les êtres.

10. Lis les anciens livres de la sagesse.

11. Cherche à comprendre leur sens secret.

La première règle des Rose+Croix est d’aimer Dieu, le soufisme est le premier pas vers le stade de Rose+Croix.

Qu’est-ce que le Soufisme ?

« Les Soufis : ils sont sans livres, sans études, sans érudition

Mais ils ont poli leurs coeurs

Les ont purifiés du désir, de la cupidité, de l’avarice et de la haine.

Cette pureté du miroir est certes le coeur reflétant toutes images,

L’entendement ici devient silence pour n’induire erreur

Car le coeur est Avec Dieu, ou plutôt le coeur est LUI.

Ceux au coeur poli ont échappé aux parfums et aux couleurs,

Ils contemplent la beauté de chaque instant,

Ils ont abandonné la forme et l’écorce du savoir,

Ils ont tenu l’essence dans l’océan de la connaissance mystique. »

Maintenant revenant à Moi dix Mois, à une phrase d’Eternally Beyond qui signifie Dans l’au-delà à jamais :

« Mon esprit, quitte les abysses empoisonnés, lui qui est tiré du profond Lac de l'Infini »

Ibn ‘Arabi (Grand Maître Soufi) disait :

« Fais-moi entrer, Seigneur, dans les profondeurs de l’océan infini de Ton Unité ! »

Tout le contenu du Soufisme est en ces quelques mots. C’est à la fois la voie et la manière de l’entreprendre, de la suivre, de la parcourir et d’aboutir à cette fusion dans l’infinitude inexprimable du Divin, l’Un, l’Unique, le Seul, l’Un et le Tout, pour autant que Un et Tout puissent être perçus et exprimés par nos termes humains, sortis de notre imagerie physique.[1]

Silence

Lectures sur les Rose+Croix :

« La rose blanche, plus particulièrement consacrée à la Vierge Marie, à Holda, à Freia, à Vénus-Uranie, était le symbole du silence et de la prière. »[2]

« La Fraternité a raison d'observer strictement le silence, qui seul peut la défendre contre la profanation du vulgaire. […] Ils éprouvent même les candidats les meilleurs par un silence de cinq ans pour la domination de leurs passions et de leur parole...»[3]

« Toutefois, il n'en est pas de même quand ils passent du Premier Ciel qui est situé dans le Monde du Désir, au Deuxième Ciel qui se trouve dans la Région de la Pensée Concrète. L'homme abandonne alors son corps du désir. Il est parfaitement conscient. Il entre dans un grand silence. Pour le moment, tout semble s'effacer. Il ne peut penser. Toutes les facultés sont inactives; cependant, il sait qu'il est. Il a le sentiment de se tenir dans "l'Eternel", d'être seul, mais sans frayeur; son âme est remplie d'une paix merveilleuse " qui passe toute intelligence » (Philippiens 4:7).[4]

« Dans la science occulte, on appelle cette condition "le Grand Silence". »[5]

« Il est à peine nécessaire de dire que nous ne pouvons pas décrire les cérémonies d'initiation, puisque le premier vœu de l'Initié est le silence »[6]

« Une ancienne légende dit que la recherche d'un trésor doit se faire dans le calme de la nuit et dans un silence parfait »[7]

« O ! Jésus, splendeur de l’éternelle gloire, consolation de l’âme en exil, auprès de Toi ma bouche est sans voix et c’est mon silence qui Te parle ! »[8]
