Months after "memoire" had been released, Malice Mizer's former vocalist Tetsu decided to leave due to differences in what the band's direction should be. At thier last live performance, the feeling was stifling. Of all the members wrapped up in their performance, only Kami, on stage playing drums, showed an expression of sadness. It looked like even tears were welling up on his face. (Actually, sources say that backstage he really was crying).
